Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by VinkoVrsalovic: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/htaccessGotchas The comment on the change is: First attempt, correct please! New page: There are a couple of things you must write differently when using .htaccess instead of main configuration files. Here's a listing of (currently) only one :-) === RewriteRules === The part given as argument to a RewriteRule is stripped from the trailing /, so, if you have a rule like {{{ RewriteRule ^/images/foo.png$ /images/oldfoo.png }}} working in your main config file and suddenly it stops working when you moved to a shared hosting and placed it in a .htaccess, try stripping the first /, thus becoming {{{ RewriteRule ^images/foo.png$ /images/oldfoo.png }}} This happens because .htaccess work in a Directory context (thus the same would have to be done if the rule was in a <Directory> section) (Add the RewriteBase considerations!)
