I use mod_rewrite from .htaccess all the time; just make sure that you
have the 'RewriteEngine on' directive in your .htaccess file before your
rewrite rules. 

It's entirely possible, however, that the server admin has denied
permission for that action in the global httpd.conf, though. If you
simply cannot get rules to work -- rules that you know work on another
machine, for instance, that would be the next step to try.
This should help you :)

Try [PT] instead of [L]. [PT] does a Pass-Through -- i.e., passes it on
to the appropriate handler once the rewrite has been performed. Without
this, the page will not be processed as a CGI.

Hi,
According to your rewrites the following line makes no sense
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
so remove itthis does not solve your problem
also modify your rewrite conds to read ^(www\.)?[^.]+mysite\.biz$
This also applies to www.username.mysite.ie

Change each of those instances of "^www\." to "^(www\.)?"

You could also do something like this:

Configure Apache so that *every* request on a virtual
host would be handled by a single PHP script.


 ServerName myserver.mydomain.org
 DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/myserver
 Action php-parse /path-to/script.php

 Action php-parse /path-to/script.php
 SetHandler php-parse

 
   SetHandler "application/x-httpd-php"
 


Every request (whether the file exists or not) is handled by
/path-to/script.php.

Note that this means that gifs/jpgs also get run through this...

forget about using .htaccess for mod_rewrite. It often fails through it.
Use it directly from httpd.conf

[PHP] Re: mod_rewrite

[Maxim Maletsky]

Seriousely speaking, I don't think I can create you a working example here 
because your case might be a whole different one, so you'd better read the 
docs to get it right. To just give you an idea, here's what I use on 
PHPBeginner.com: 

# VHosts: 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&_PHPB_URL=$1 [L] 


basically in human language it is: 

Line 1: action: start Rewrite Engine
Line 2: condition: if the requested file exists
Line 3: solution: go to the untouched URL (the engine would stop here)
Line 4: alternative: if arrived all the way to this line go to 
"/index.php?query=URL" 


So, in the root we only have one single file (index.php) amd all the 
requests are coming in to it as $_GET['_PHPB_URL'], there we take over the 
game and decide what instances to lunch up from some shared libraries 
outside the root. 

In your case I think it would still similar, except, you could read the 
apache docs better and assign more variables in your regex so you get the 
correct data. Don't be too lazy, soon or later you will need Regular 
Expression again, so thi is a good chance to learn them. :-)

I shouldn't have copy/pasted, because "index.php" also is wrong in this 
context.  If one is trying to redirect from, say, 
"/dir_that_may_not_exist/" to "index.php", then how is apache supposed to 
serve up "/dir_that_may_not_exist/index.php".  It can't.  So logically the 
2nd parameter has to be "/index.php".  For clarity's sake, using the "L" 
modifier for parameter #3 is also a good idea:

RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [L]

Mod_rewrite is a complex beast, so read the docs closely.  And if all you 
really need is to capture/redirect 404s, check out the ErrorDocument 
directive instead.  Simple to use, easy to learn, and none of the 
mod_rewrite overhead.

RewriteRule takes a regular expression as its first parameter 
.

The "$" regex meta-character is an end-of-line marker.  It has no special 
meaning at the beginning of a pattern.  If you want a pattern that matches 
"anything including nothing", use:

RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php
