RewriteBase

[jaymc]

I have the following

 

<VirtualHost 87.117.x.x>
        UseCanonicalName Off
        DocumentRoot /mnt/codebase/monthly

        VirtualDocumentRoot /mnt/codebase/monthly/%-2/

        RewriteEngine on

       RewriteBase   /

               RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ ?pageName=$1 [QSA]
</VirtualHost>

 

Because Im using dynamic vhost the rewrite rule will not work without RewriteBase  /

 

if I put this in .htaccess it works fine

 

        RewriteEngine on
       RewriteBase   /
        RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ ?pageName=$1 [QSA]

 

But when I take it out of .htaccess and put into the vhost so it applies to all websites I get this error rewritebase: only valid in per-directory config files

 

Im a bit stuck? Any ideas?

Is this rewrite rule passing these optuions to an index.php file or something? Its not very clear. eg

 

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?pageName=$1 [QSA]

 

To get this rule to work within a virtualdocumentroot you would simply use...

 

RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?pageName=$1 [QSA]

 

No need for a RewriteBase directive.

Yeh index.php but because of the dynamic vhost it needs rewritebase

No, it needs to be pre-pended with a forward slash. That should be sufficient.
