You need to restart request processing after the rewrite. For this you add the PT flag. To quote the manual: "The target (or substitution string) in a RewriteRule is assumed to be a file path, by default. The use of the [PT] flag causes it to be treated as a URI instead. That is to say, the use of the [PT] flag causes the result of the RewriteRule to be passed back through URL mapping, so that location-based mappings, such as Alias, for example, might have a chance to take effect. " So your rule needs to look like this: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/scriptname.cgi?action=$1 [PT] Krist -- [email protected] [email protected] Bremgarten b.
