This is my second question in this area, the first answer I received
was very helpful but led to this one.
I am utilizing mod_rewrite in Apache on a Slackware box. I am writing
the Rewrite rules directly into the httpd.conf file. I have several
dozen rules, most of which work. The ones that work redirect to an
ugly database search path, e.g.:
RewriteRule /fujitsu_scanners/
http://1st-in-scanners.com/cgi-bin/webdata/webdata_pro.pl?_cgifunction=search&_layout=manufacturer&manufacturers.manufacturer_id=1
But one that I thought would be simple,
Rewrite Rule /ordering/ http://www.1st-in-scanners.com/ordering.html
produces weird results. I'm getting the page content twice. This
does not happen when I go directly to the target location, only when I
use the rewrite address. The page in question utilizes SSI to produce
the header and footer of the page. One of the developers in my office
suggested that maybe this is the source of the problem but when I
commented out the header include I still got the double content--it
just didn't include the header, it still included double content.
My question is two-fold: What is causing this and how do I resolve
it? |

Can you post some of your rewrites? (block out any important path info
etc..)
I was trying to view the sites, but could not get repeatability
because you altered the page as I was looking :-) Thanks -

The rewrites I included in the original question are one that works
(/fujitsu_scanners/) and the one that doesn't (/ordering/ which goes
to www.1st-in-scanners.com/ordering.html).
I'll stop modifying them for a while so you can look at them. ;)

Hello again,
I am not trying to insult your intelligence, just making sure we have
dotted our 'i's ...
Have you enabled server side includes for HTML pages? I am unable to
tell because the first page is linked to your cgi-bin.
In the /ordering/ directory, you may have an .htaccess file with the
following:
AddHandler server-parsed .html
If not, do you have this in your httpd.conf? If you don't have this -
create a file called .htaccess (with the dot), and add the line above.
Save the file and add it to the ordering directory and let me know
what happens.
If you do have this handler type, then I can go to the next step.
Thanks for the clarification -

It would seem like you would have it already if your static html page
was being parsed, but the only reason I asked was because I saw this
in your HTML from the current rewritten directory :
<TD ALIGN="CENTER" COLSPAN="2">
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
</TD>
Thanks again

I was not able to reproduce the problem using Apache 1.3.22.
Please post the version of Apache you are using. If you are
not 100% sure, you can test this:
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -v (depending on the install
location on your particular server)

It turns out the problem was related to the relative path of the
second SSI include in the document and was only marginally related to
the mod_rewrite issue (it introduced the relative path issues which
did not previously exist).
Thank you for your suggestions. I am sure that if this had been a
direct mod_rewrite problem you would have resolved it.
