I've got several RewriteRules in my .htaccess file that I want to get processed.

When it comes across this line:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/(.*).html$ /results.php?KEYWORDID=$1 [L]

It rewrites it into /results.php?KEYWORDID=1234

But it then continues processing the other lines in my htaccess file. 
As I understood it, the [L] should tell apache to stop rewriting at
this point.

The url is on the same server so I don't think [R] would apply here would it?

Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, 

I've always seen it used as [R,L], never just [L].

Remember: An unconditional external redirect to your own server will
not work with the prefix http://thishost because of this feature. To
achieve such a self-redirect, you have to use the R-flag

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html

I'm guessing it is ignoring the [L] because it failed to do anything on that line. 

Try the [R, L] and if that doesn't work, post the version of Apache
you are using (shouldn't really matter, but sometimes little bugs are
discovered).

thanks,

It's not redirecting to an external site thus the reason I left off
the R.  I'm using Apache 1.3.33 on debian linux.

Hi again, 

So you added the  [R, L] and it is still not working?
