Created page with "==Syntax== The [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html Apache manual] says: * '''RewriteRule''' {{arg|Pattern}} {{arg|Substitution}} [{{arg|flags}}] * '''Rewri..."

New page

==Syntax==
The [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html Apache manual] says:

* '''RewriteRule''' {{arg|Pattern}} {{arg|Substitution}} [{{arg|flags}}]
* '''RewriteCond''' {{arg|TestString}} {{arg|CondPattern}} [{{arg|flags}}]
* '''RewriteBase''' {{arg|URL-path}}

I think I still don't really understand RewriteBase. Apparently it does need to refer to a path that actually exists, rather than a mapped path. If the path doesn't exist, Apache will log a "core:alert" error saying "RewriteBase: argument is not a valid URL".

==RewriteRule==
Arguments:
* '''Pattern''' is a perl compatible regular expression, matched against:
** if VirtualHost context: the part of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string (e.g. "/app1/index.html").
** if per-directory context (Directory and {{l/same|.htaccess}}): the partial path to the Directory or .htaccess file
*** e.g. a request of "/app1/index.html" may result in comparison against "app1/index.html" or "index.html" depending on where the RewriteRule is defined.
*** The directory path where the rule is defined is stripped from the currently mapped filesystem path before comparison (up to and including a trailing slash). The net result of this per-directory prefix stripping is that rules in this context only match against the portion of the currently mapped filesystem path "below" where the rule is defined.
* '''Substitution''' may be:
** '''URL-path''': A DocumentRoot-relative path to the intended target
** '''Absolute-URL''': if the hostname matches the current host, the scheme and hostname are stripped out and the resulting path is treated as a '''URL-path'''. Otherwise, an external redirect is performed.
** '''filesystem-path''' (only in VirtualHost)

Official example:
* RewriteRule ^(.+) /other/archive/$1 [R]
