Possible bug for ModRewrite in Apache/Windows?

Maschenka · #1 08-Aug-2004, 00:18

Good morning!

I have recently started with ModRewrite in order to make my pages more friendly towards search engines. First of all: When uploaded to my ISP everything works fine.

But when I try using it at home (WAMP installation, Windows, Apache 1.3.6, MySQL, PHP) I run into problems as the values I have assigned to parameters are not read properly if there is more than one value.

Example:

=== .htaccess ===
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^album/(.*)/(.*)/$ /test.php?cat=$1&album=$2

In principle then
192.168.1.100 should be interpreted as
192.168.1.100

Instead I get an error message, and if I ask for an output of the parameters with
print_r($_GET);
the result is
Array ( [cat] => ealbum/e/4/album=4 )

I have activated RewriteLog, and this is the important bit of the log (added line breaks for better readability):

Code:

add path-info postfix: c:/programme/wamp/homepages/album
  -> c:/programme/wamp/homepages/album/e/4/
strip per-dir prefix: c:/programme/wamp/homepages/album/e/4/
  -> album/e/4/
applying pattern '^album/(.*)/(.*)/$' to uri 'album/e/4/'
rewrite album/e/4/
  -> /test.php?cat=ealbum/e/4/album=4
split uri=/test.php?cat=ealbum/e/4/album=4
  -> uri=/test.php, args=cat=ealbum/e/4/album=4
add path-info postfix: /test.php
  -> /test.php/e/4/

Can anybody here help me with the interpretation of why it goes wrong?

you are running the latest version of apache and mod_rewite?

did you try with something simple like:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test.php?test=$1

and the var_dump($_GET); in test.php

then just try some thing, if that gives strange results you might to find the mod_rewrite site and see if you can sumbit a bug or ask for support from the author(s)

Apache is 1.3.6, so definitely not the latest version, same with mod_rewrite as it came together with Apache. But as everything else is running fine I would prefer not upgrading it for now as long as it isn't sure this isn't fixable by myself.

Yes, as I said this error occurs only if there is more than one parameter. And on my ISP's web server also more than one are handed over correctly

The complexity in the form on nagoya.apache.org has so far kept me from submitting too many bug database queries, but I guess I will have to go through it.

Hello Maschenka,

Did you figure this out yet?

Incase you haven't can you try this pattern instead and see if it helps your situation, it's a long shot but it won't hurt for you to try it.

Code:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule  ^album/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$  /test.php?cat=$1&album=$2
