Mod_rewrite messing up relative paths

My current URLs look like this:
foo.com/Articles.php/Article=New_Name

what I want to start using is:
foo.com/Articles/New_Name

the rewrite rule I have is:
Quote:
RewriteRule ^/?Articles/([a-zA-Z_]+)/?$ /Articles.php?Article=$1 [L,QSA]


It's working except that it appears that all my paths have been screwed up (paths to CSS, javascript, images) as if the file being read is actually in a different directory. I could make all paths absolute throughout the site but I'd rather get it fixed with mod_rewrite. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.

mod_rewrite isn't the solution. You can brute-force it and make it work, same way you could use pliers to hammer a nail, but really you should fix the links to use absolute URLs.

But I'm surprised: you haven't changed the page "depth", in that it used to be foo.com/1/2 and it's now foo.com/1/2, so that shouldn't have changed anything. Did the old URL use trailing slashes?

Thanks.

The URLs didn't have trailing slashes before, and the page depth thing is what has been puzzling me as well. Guess I'll switch to universal paths.

Have you figured out why they don't work? What URLs does your browser try to fetch?
