For the last 2 days I’ve been trying to run some kind of application on my computer (Ubuntu 11.10, Apache / 2.2.20 (Ubuntu), PHP version 5.3.6-13ubuntu3.1). It was created in PHP Smarty and uses rewriting rules. Everything works fine with links like:
localhost / news
it is correctly translated into
localhost / news.php
how it should be done. But the problem is related to more complex links like
localhost / message / inbox
it must be translated with the rule:
RewriteRule ^ messages /(.*)$ /messages.php?action=$1
But that will not work. I tried to debug it. I switched to write to http.conf
RewriteLog "/home/krzysztofp/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 3
And I see that in the beginning there is
127.0.0.1 - - [16 / Mar / 2012: 15: 56: 36 +0100] [krzysztofp / sid # 7f8218546a30] [rid # 7f821837a0a0 / subreq] (3) [perdir / var / www / engbook /] add path info postfix: /var/www/engbook/messages.php -> /var/www/engbook/messages.php/inbox
and then trying to match message.php
127.0.0.1 - - [16 / Mar / 2012: 15: 56: 36 +0100] [krzysztofp / sid # 7f8218546a30] [rid # 7f821837a0a0 / subreq] (3) [perdir / var / www / engbook /] applying pattern ' ^ messages /(.*)$ 'to uri' messages.php / inbox '
Virtual host:
<Directory / var / www / engbook>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow, deny
allow from all
</Directory>
any idea why this is happening?
EDIT: I have a problem to push all rewrite rules onto the stack, here they are: http://pokazkod.pl/d52823d5f0d31ff26e1e29873383d2a2ceb216306a56b3aec1 none of them seem suspicious to me: /
