If the .htaccess file lives in a directory inside of the Apache root directory, then you _don't_ need to specify a RewriteBase. It's really only necessary when .htacess lives in a virtual directory outside of the Apache root. --Dave ================== David Walker Library Web Services Manager California State University http://xerxes.calstate.edu ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Godmar Back [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 6:20 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] tricky mod_rewrite On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 9:13 AM, Peter Kiraly <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: "Godmar Back" <[log in to unmask]> > >> is it possible to write this without hardwiring the RewriteBase in it?

For instance, consider http://code.google.com/p/tictoclookup/source/browse/trunk/standalone/.htaccess Here, anybody who wishes to use this code has to adapt the .htaccess file to their path and change the "RewriteBase" entry. Is it possible to write a .htaccess file that works *no matter* where it is located, entirely based on where it is located relative to the Apache root or an Apache directory? - Godmar
