if you're rewriting to wo instances, you need to make sure the ordering of your modules is right, too ... in 5.3 (i don't know about 5.4), the order of the modules was wrong -- you have to make mod_webobjects come before mod_rewrite (iirc).

Hello list,

Well when Brian Moore said mod_rewrite was voodoo (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/ ), I was skeptical, but now I believe him! I need some help for what I think should be a pretty simple rewrite rule. I am currently trying to get this to work initially on my development machine, and I keep getting a 404 "Not Found" message from apache (version 2.2.9).

The rule is supposed to take convert URLs like this :
http://localhost/purl/KieranKelleher

and rewrite them like this (on my dev machine):
http://localhost/cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wa/PurlAction/purl?p=KieranKelleher

I have added this to the end of my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf just before the last 2 includes at the end of the file (other/*.conf and WO apache.conf)

<IfModule rewrite_module>
# rewrite logging
RewriteLog "/tmp/rewrite.log"

# PURL feature
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/purl/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/WebObjects/cheetah.woa/-52040/wa/ PurlAction/purl?p=$1
</IfModule>

I can confirm that when I restarted apache it creates the /tmp/ rewrite.log if it does not exist, however nothing gets written there.

I have studied the docs, the wiki docs and many examples. This looks like it should work, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does not work :-(

Any clues or hints would be appreciated.

Thanks, Kieran
