[SOLVED] Same version of apache, two different behaviours?!?

[EvanAgee]

Okay, so both of the servers in question were runnig Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS). However, on one server my htaccess mod_rewrite syntax is working perfectly and on the other it's not working at all! Below is the syntax.

 

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^print/$ /lib/cjprinterfriendlyv2/printpage.php

 

RewriteRule ^make_offer/(\d+) /?action=make_offer&p=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^blog(/|)$ /?action=blog [L]

RewriteRule ^blog/(.+)$ /?p=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)$ /?tag=$1 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^asset/(.+)/(\d+)(|/)$ /?asset=$1&id=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^video/(\d+)(|/)$ /?asset=video&id=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^asset/video/(.+)(\.php|\.html|\.htm)$ /?asset=video&file_name=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^video/(.+)(\.php|\.html|\.htm)$ /?asset=video&file_name=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^tags/$ /?tag=INDEX [L]

RewriteRule ^presearch/$ /?action=presearch [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/(|pages|images|videos)$ /?action=search&s=$1&t=$2 [L]

RewriteRule ^sitemap/$ /?action=sitemap [L]

RewriteRule ^sitemap/(image|video)(&p=(\d+)|)$ /?action=sitemap&m=$1&p=$3 [L]

RewriteRule ^ecommerce-videos-movies/$ /?action=sitemap&m=video [L]

RewriteRule ^ecommerce-images-photos/$ /?action=sitemap&m=image [L]

RewriteRule ^email_this_page/(\d+)(|/)$ /?action=email_page&pid=$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^email_this_page/asset/(\d+)(|/)$ /?action=email_page&&is_asset=true&aid=$1 [L]

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/lib/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/

RewriteRule ^(.+)(\.php|\.html|\.htm|\/)$ /?p=$1$2 [QSA,L]

 

For the newer server that's not doing what I expect my URLS http://www.domain.com/dynamic_page_title/ aren't working correctly. On my older server it worked perfectly.

 

Any ideas?

[corbin]

Rewrites probably aren't enabled on one of the servers.

[EvanAgee]

I don't believe that's it because some of the RewriteRules higher on the list work correctly.

[corbin]

I don't see any rules that would match dynamic_page_title/

[EvanAgee]

This one worked on my old server:

 

RewriteRule ^(.+)(\.php|\.html|\.htm|\/)$ /?p=$1$2 [QSA,L]

[corbin]

dynamic_page_title doesn't end in php html or html x.x.

[EvanAgee]

But it does end in / which is also part of that regexp.

[corbin]

Oh my bad.  Misread that.  Didn't see that last pipe there.

 

 

 

Do you get a 500 error or a 404 error?

[EvanAgee]

Originally I was getting a 500 error because my php file that controls all of the various URLs is index.php, so I was getting a too many redirects error.

 

I fixed that problem and now I'm just getting a 404 error. Again, this was working fine on my last server with the same host.

[trq]

Have you tried setting up RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel to see if you can get mod_rewrite to report errors?

[EvanAgee]

No I haven't, do you know of a particularly good tutorial to get me started?

[trq]

Just add these lines to the top of your .htaccess file.

 

RewriteLog "/path/to/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 5

 

Apache will need perms to write to /path/to/rewrite.log, you'll also want to remove this once (if) it helps you as it adds allot of overhead to each request.

[EvanAgee]

I get a "RewriteLog not allowed here " error when I try to place the log file in the same direcotry as my error_log, etc files are.

[EvanAgee]

SOLVED

 

Just had to add:

 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php after RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/

 

Thanks everyone, now I can go into Monday with a clean slate and ready to work!

[corbin]

Infinite redirects are a pain....
