Dear Fellows:

I'm close to a nervous breakdown :cry:

It's been quite a freaking hell to set the rewrite rules in order to get a plone site working (still not working btw). I've followed almost every how-to and there's this thing that keeps bothering me...

everyone says that the "basic" test for the rewrite rules is

Thanks for the reply...

but still I don't get anything redirected =(
I've tried that rewrite rule but I still get stuck at the "normal" site, not the rewriten site =(

are you using 2 virtual hosts conf files? or just 1?
Thanks again

?

Hi,

I've got over 30 vhost config files

There is clause [R] in my config quoted above, it means [R]edirect, so if the engine works you should be redirected to new address. In your browser's address bar address should be new address visible.
IMO you may try following checks:

Add in /etc/conf.d/apache2 option `-D INFO` into APACHE2_OPTS, then check presence (and config) of `mod_rewrite.c` at http://your_server/server-info.
Add to your vhost config lines
Code:

RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9
then examine `rewrite.log` file;
Maybe you've set RewriteCond in wrong way
Dunno what else

Wohooo!!!

Finally got it working.. thanks for the replys man, they really helped me

My original situation:

I have apache server running on http://myserver/ or http://myserver:80/ (intranet, so not FQDN)
and zope/plone running on http://myserver:8080/mysite/

I wanted to eliminate the numbers from the URL... specifically the plone's port number (8080)
meaning I can access it by just http://myserver/mysite/ and NOT http://myserver:8080/mysite/, ok?

I edited 00_default_vhost.conf, posting relevant, and context so you can find it :wink:

,
Please note that you ONLY need to change the references to myserver and mysite
