I had much the same problem with the CSS. I got round it by using a rule on the rewrite which stops the rewrite being applied to the folder in question.

RewriteRule ^css/.*$ – [PT]

That is to ignore the rewrite rule on the css folder and any file or folder inside that.

I have an asp site I am rewriting in php. I want discussion.asp?A=51 to go to discussion.php?A=51. I have been looking for a rewrite example, and not found or understood this part exactly. I can not pass the A=51. This is some of what I have tried.

RewriteRule ^discussion.asp(.*)$ /discussion.php?&A=$1/ [L]

RewriteRule ^discussion/(0-9A-Za-z_-]+)$ /discussion.php?A=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)discussion/(.*)$ $discussion.php?A=$2

ewriteRule ^discussion/([^/ \.]+)/?$ discussion.php?A=$1 [L]

Thanks for any help!

Hey, that was a nice article, congrats…

It would be nice if you could explain what every line of code does for us less technicaly adept with Apache :)

For example, I’m curious what each of the four lines of code between the directive in the Apache configuration file does…

I know I can find the details on the .HTACCESS file usage on Apache.org but it’s still nice to have it all in one place.

Still, very informative and useful article.

Keep up the good work!

Well, I didn’t make any changes to sys32 folder or anything else. I made a clean install of XAMPP, configure Apache for mod_rewrite and did all the steps from above.
Why don’t you ask friends about those sys32 changes?
Whish I could help you more on this…

Regards

hah, I’m glad you made it, it’s always some minor bug that keeps you awake all night long when trying to solve it :)

yes, CSS, that is something I haven’t mention (but that wasn’t really the issue on this topic)… you’ll have to use FULL URL to locate your CSS and JS files, and everything else you’re including through HTML…

create a config.inc.php file and write “< ?php $url = "http://localhost/example/"; ?>” into it, then, in HTML wherever you’re calling some external source (images also, basicaly everything), place < ?=$url;?> before…

you might also try playing with RegExp rules on rewriting this automatically, but I haven’t got the time to test that case yet…
