mod_rewrite and .htaccess

works in httpd.conf, not in .htaccess?

[flex55]

Hi,

I've got a simple rewrite condition, that seems to be working well if placed inside <virtualhost> at httpd.conf, yet does not work if placed at .htaccess (of documentroot dir):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+)err\.html /error.html [PT,L]

it rewrites to error.html if these directives are placed on httpd.conf, but returns 404 if placed in .htaccess.

anyone has any idea?

Make sure the relevant AllowOverride entries in your httpd.conf are set to All (or set it to allow what you need only) :

AllowOverride All
