mod_rewrite on Apache2.2

Hello all,

I'm currently setting up my server to host a website that generates URLs on the fly.  I've inserted this code into my .httpd file.  This code rewrites each request and finds the correct folder.  The snippet of code is:

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.6:3128>

 
  <Directory "/var/www/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride none
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
  </Directory>

  ServerName site1.local
  DocumentRoot /var/www/
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower

  RewriteCond ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}} ^[a-z0-9-]+.[.a-z0-9-]+$
  RewriteRule ^(.+) ${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}}$1 [C]
  RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+).([a-z0-9-.]+)/(.*) /var/www/$2/$1/$3
   

</VirtualHost>

However, whenever I run index.php I get this error message:

The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

I've checked my error log and found that Apache adds a folder onto my URL.  Here is an exert from my error log:

[error] [client 192.168.0.6] File does not exist: C:/var/www/var

As you can see it has added the folder 'var' onto the end of my root.  Therefore when my server looks for index.php it can't find it.  I need to keep the code that instructs apache to re-write each incoming request to find the right folder for it, but how do I stop it adding a new folder onto the end?  I'm quite new to the mod_rewrite function so any help would be great.

Jim.

maybe you can show us some example URL's?

My URL displays: "http://192.168.0.6:3128/index.php"
While mt error-log displays:

Any pointers?

never used mod_rewite on an IP address, do you checked the rewrite log files?

is this your production environment? using apache on windows?

[Free WordPress Themes]

change this row:

  RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+).([a-z0-9-.]+)/(.*) $2/$1/$3

I'm using Apache 2.2 on Windows.

I'm using Apache 2.2 on Windows.

for production, a URL rewriting service?

I've just changed the line and the website give me a Bad Request and tells me that my server can't understand the request.

It's for production.  The site maps the folders and generates URLs on the fly then loads them.

I'm sure some real traffic will break your configuration, use PHP + IIS instead

what is the error log for the modified row?

I have to use Apache.  The site consists of ten pages.  each pages URL is generated on the fly and loads it into the site.  The log errors are:

the server stops before these rows:

do you tried to ad a slash before "RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+).([a-z0-9-.]+)/(.*) $2/$1/$3"

Can you be a bit more specific?  Where do you want me to put the slash?

Would it be safer to use the mod_rewrite rule on a http address instead?  If so, any pointers on this topic?

I've just put the slash in before the RewriteRule and it doesn't work.  Same error message.

is this the path you need?

/var/www/168.0.6/192/index.php (the real file location?)

No.  The location is:

192.168.0.6:3128/index.php

Where '192.168.0.6:3128' is my virtual server.

maybe you need to include the port number to and the colon to your pattern?

The problem is sorted. 

Thanks.
