tibberous Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Of all the things in programming, I would say mod_rewrite is one of the least logical, hardest to use things out there. I use it all the time, it's great for a lot of things - but it is just so quirky, and the windows version works different the the linux version, so I'm always getting 500 errors after I ftp.

zq29 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I wouldn't say it's illogical, you're writing regular expressions at the end of the day with a few options here and there. I've never used it on a Windows install, what are the differences? Surely they can't be major?

trq Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 mod_rewrite needs some level of complexity in order to off the features that it does. As Semi said, its basically just regular expressions with a few options here and there. Ialso don't really understand how it could be different on windows, Apache is cross platform afterall, and while Ive not used windows in a number of years, are there really differences in the way Apache handles things?
