help with rewrite rule

If I'm not mistaken from an earlier post, you actually want more than to
just have

Well, for example, I would like to be able to input either of the
following into my browser:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

or

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

and the web page will be displayed while the application server handling
the requests all see localhost as the originating address.

My apologies for not being more clear. cota is a folder, and the
problem is that it's not appending the trailing slash.

thanks!

That's why I was saying you'd probably have to write something a little
complicated.

Its really hard if you don't already have a naming convention in mind.
That way you could just force it to rewrite without the ending slash if
you wanted.
I think its adding the trailing slash because it assumes cota is a
directory.
(Someone else on here might have a better explanation.)

What exactly are you trying to see happen, in human terms, i.e. how
would
you like the request to unfold.

Thanks,
Boysenberry

Hey Pid,
I gave this a try:

RewriteRule /(.*)(/)?$ http://localhost:81/$1$2 [P]

and it's still converting:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota

to

http://localhost:81/cota/

instead of:

http://cfdev.cota.csulb.edu/cota/

Any ideas?

thanks,
Mike

RewriteRule /(.*)(/)?$ http://localhost:81/$1$2

you need the second dollar variable to pick up the second pair of
brackets, instead of always appending a slash.

You know, I'm guessing that I'm getting that proxy loop error because
the proxy is listening on both ports 80 and 81 (I have a virtual host on
81)? Just a guess....

Hello Ki Song,

You need a separate Alias line for every Alias directive. So this would
look something like

Alias /foo /usr/local/foo/htdocs
Alias /bar /usr/local/bar/htdocs

Note that there's nothing quite like a "fake address" or "real address"
here. The purpose of Alias directives is to map part of your URL space
to part of your filesystem (and the same is true for ScriptAliases). If
you're looking to map part of your URL space to another URL, you might
want to look into a Redirect.

Please check out the documentation for these directives (here it is for
apache 1.3: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html#alias).
If you're still having a problem, make sure to tell us which version
of apache you're using, and include relevant information from your error
log.

take care,
Jesse Ross

Sounds you might need something a little more complicated.

For example:

RewriteRule ^(.*)habitat/(.*)$
http://localhost:81/pro/habitat.pl?account=data=$2 [P]

Allowing me to read the whole url then process it.

Otherwise you might want to rewrite for different directories, i.e.
taking care of images
and the like.

Thanks,

I have a quick question.
If I want to define multiple ScriptAlias and Alias directories in the
httpd.conf file, what is the syntax?

I've tried it this way:

ScriptAlias fakeaddress1 realaddress1,
fakeaddress2 realaddress2,
fakeaddress3 realaddress3

Alias fakeaddress1 realaddress1,
fakeaddress2 realaddress2,
fakeaddress3 realaddress3

and this way:

ScriptAlias fakeaddress1 realaddress1
ScriptAlias fakeaddress2 realaddress2

Alias fakeaddress1 realaddress1
Alias fakeaddress2 realaddress2

Neither seems to work.

How about adding this:

RewriteRule /(.*)(/)?$ http://localhost:81/$1/ [P]

Thanks,

Hello,
We have to proxy our requests on our web server but we're running into
some problems. I'm having a problem with the following rewrite rule:

RewriteRule /(.*) http://localhost:81/$1 [P]

If I do not specify the trailing slash when using a folder name, I get
an error. So, for example, if I go here:

http://134.139.143.27/kcty/

it works fine. However, if I use the following:

http://134.139.143.27/kcty

it forwards my browser here:

http://localhost:81/kcty/

which is incorrect. Does anyone know how I can update the rule so that
it will correctly put the trailing slash back on the url when a folder
is specified?

Thanks!
Mike
