Transplanting .htaccess URL Rewrite Rules into httpd-vhosts.conf

[Adam Chapman]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has successfully transplanted the URLRewrite rules from the .htaccess file into the Apache httpd-vhosts.conf file?

When I directly cut & paste them it causes a 400 error with nothing showing up in any log files... The same as these chaps:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6105015/mod-rewrite-400-bad-request-problem

http://serverfault.com/questions/285964/apache2-400-bad-request-with-rewrite-rules-nothing-in-error-log

They suggest that the rules need to be formatted differently in the vhosts.conf file to the htaccess file. Apparently one of the leading slashes needs to be removed.. but I must confess my regex skillz need some work.

.htaccess

# Options +FollowSymLinks

# RewriteEngine On

# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|railo-context|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)($|/.*$) [NC]

# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]

Has anyone got this working, or have an answer to my pickle.

Regards,

Adam

I second this and would like to know if any body has come up with a working method to get the Vhosts file working correctly?

Below is an example that works for me with wheels 1.1.8 and apache 2.4 on linux.  I am replacing servername and docroot with placeholders.

You'll need FollowSymLinks enabled if you plan to keep the Rewrite rules inside the directory block.  Also you may need to set RewriteEngine On depending on what context you are placing the rules in (I do that in the example below as well).

This example does not contain everything I would typically include for a given vhost; this is just to illustrate the minimum required to enable wheels rewrites.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName myapp.test.com

  DocumentRoot /apache/public/myapp

  <Directory /apache/public/myapp>

    Options FollowSymLinks

    Require All Granted

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/(flex2gateway|jrunscripts|cfide|cfformgateway|cffileservlet|railo-context|files|images|javascripts|miscellaneous|stylesheets|robots.txt|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|rewrite.cfm)($|/.*$) [NC]

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./rewrite.cfm/$1 [NS,L]

  </Directory>

<VirtualHost>

...hope this helps.
