I just tried to update my dev box to 2.2.13. Small problem...I have this in my httpd.conf file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /moodle/ [R]
RedirectMatch ^/$ /moodle/ [R]
This worked in Apache 2.2.10 and versions prior to that...when someone typed in our URL, www.example.com it automatically redirected them to www.example.com/moodle/ and loads our Moodle installation.
Now, with 2.2.13, the server refuses to start. It starts, of course, if I comment out the 3 lines above. Anybody have any ideas why this doesn't work now? |

RewriteRule ^/$ /moodle/ [R]
shouldn't there be a "not" (!) in there somewhere?
If NOT moodle -> moodle
RewriteRule !^/$ /moodle/ [R] |

Your third line: | Code: | | RedirectMatch ^/$ /moodle/ [R] |
has an error.
RedirectMatch is not a mod_rewrite directive. It is a mod_alias directive. You can't use [flags] like [R] with RedirectMatch.
That's always been an error - but starting with Apache 2.2.13, mod_alias checks its arguments more carefully.

Tom,
Thanks! That worked. Obviously I got away with the mistake for several Apache versions! |
