Is that okay?
yes the 'IfModule' means only parse the directive in that
block if the given module is loaded.
Also, it does look like .htaccess is enabled in
httpd.conf with entries like:
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be
placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be All, None, or any combination of
the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

AllowOverride All

AccessFileName .htaccess
But when I tried out Shawn's file I got 404 errors
on the URLs (after renaming the wi directory, to
be sure the .htaccess file was in control.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
use a rewritelog as Shawn mentioned to see what apache is
doing when it tries to rewrite the incoming urls.
I'm going through a pretty good page on htaccess files at
http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php
But it starts off with Make no mistake, mod_rewrite is complex.

Skip Evans wrote:
Hey all,
I have a weird issue that's got me pretty stumped, and I'm not sure I
can do what the client is asking, or at least not how I'm trying to do it.
I have a code base of my own I'm building sites on, fully AJAX enabled
so that once the site loads it never fully refreshes a page, but AJAX
runs everything through JS to server calls for content, updating only
sections of the page only when needed, say for like the small calendar
in the upper right corner when a new month is clicked.
The site is basically a CMS for school sports teams to create their own
pages, and the schools are accessed via individual directories like
http://prepcube.com/wi/madison/
So I created the wi/madison/
...directory when the school signs up and placed a file there that
parses the URI to get the schools shortname, in this case madison,
and then sets a session variables for school ID that allows the user to
access this school's data.
Then it redirects back to
http://prepcube.com/
...which of course loses the wi/madison portion of the URL, thought the
client wants this preserved and to remain in the URL field.
And since this is a fully AJAX enables site, the URL in the browser's
URL field would never change from
http://prepcube.com/wi/madison/
...which is something the client really likes.
So, my question is how would I do that, and I strongly suspect if it's
possible at all an .htaccess file with the proper entries would be the
way to do it, not using PHP code to redirect as I am now.
Is this the case?
Unfortunately, I must confess to not being terribly familiar with
htaccess files, I believe this would be rewrite rules to rewrite the URL
and point it to the right place? But even with htaccess rewrite rules
could this be done to preserve the full URL with state/school in the
browser's URL field?
Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks globules!

Why create a real directory and put a file in it? Here is one approach:
Client uses http://prepcube.com/wi/madison/ and .htaccess rewrites to
http://prepcube.com/index.php?path=wi/madison
index.php parses the path var to extract the short name and set the
session var:
Rewrite rule would look something like:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?path=$1 [QSA,L]
/IfModule

It Works for me and I have the same mod_rewrite.so line. Not sure the
specifics of why this is as it is.
Also, it does look like .htaccess is enabled in

So you have the .htaccess file in the root dir alongside the index.php?
I just tested and this is working for me. What I posted rewrites
everything to index.php so if you have other php pages that are loaded
by the browser then you would need better rules in .htaccess.
To see more you might add the following and then check the log:
RewriteLog /somepath/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 3
