Topic: mod_rewrite of Apache Server usable ?

[Michael Jung]

I tried to use the mod_rewrite module of the Apache server in e-smith 4.0b7, but I couln't  work it out.
As I understand the Apache httpd.config file, the mod_rewrite is a dynamic module and it is callable as an DSO.

Has anybody use rewrite rules ?

Yes, but there be dragons. mod_rewrite is Apache's equivalent
of sendmail.cf

Have you looked at the Redirect keyword - it often suffices:



  Redirect /oldurl http://new.place/newurl



What are you trying to rewrite?
