Rewite is not working

Hi All,

I have apache2 on my ubuntu box.

Quote:

root@test:/var/log/apache2# uname -a
Linux test 2.6.24-23-server #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:19:15 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
root@test:/var/log/apache2#

I want to use 'rewrite' functionality. I want to test simple rewrite rule for testing purpose.

I have enable mod_rewrite on box.

Quote:

root@test:/etc/apache2# a2enmod rewrite
This module is already enabled!
root@test:/etc/apache2#

I have added following lines in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Quote:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /rewrite/ [R]
RedirectMatch ^/$ http : / / www. test. com / rewrite /
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 3

I don't see any messages in rewrite.lg file. It's not getting redirected also. What's wrong?

The aim is to rewrite http : / / www. test. com / to http : / / www. test. com / rewrite / for testing.

My ultimate aim is to rewrite URL's like below:

from http : / / www. test. com / search ? =mumbai to http : / / mumbai. test. com

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Shashi
P.S: Please remove space for correct urls.

Hello,

Does it help if you remove the "/" in "^/$"?
