rewrite rule problems

Archives Agile Web Application Development with Yii1.1 and

I am using wamp and developing in eclipse using a working directory in workspace. I seem to be having a problem with the rewrite rule pointing to the wrong place though.

using the books example .htaccess file I have an error log with this statement


[Fri Aug 12 07:31:24 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/wamp/www/Users

My actual file location to the trackstar index file is

c:\Users\nick\workspace\trackstar

I am using an alias named trackstar that points to that location.

I don’t know enough about rewrites to understand what is going on. Anyone else use wamp? if so how did you overcome this problem?

Seem to be a windowz problem only (*). I have done rewriting under linux and it works well. However, when doing the trackstar tutorial, I ran into the same problem, which gave me an idea. Do the rewriting like this:




Options +FollowSymLinks

IndexIgnore */*


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

  RewriteEngine on


  #RewriteBase /


  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d


  RewriteRule ^.*$ /trackstar/index.php

</IfModule>


ErrorDocument 500 "<h2>Application error</h2>Yii application failed to start properly"

Note the /trackstar/index.php instead of just index.php. Then it worked.

The "/trackstar/" comes from the httpd.conf file (the Alias line):




# Yii trackstar tutorial.

<Directory "C:/webtest/trackstar">

    Options None

    AllowOverride All

    Order allow,deny

    Allow from all

</Directory>

Alias /trackstar "C:/webtest/trackstar"

Hope this help.

*: Have not tested the application setting under linux yet.
