Seems like
| Code: | | RedirectPermanent /cgi-bin/file.pl http://www.website.com |
doesn't seems to be working. However if I put anything else except cgi-bin it works.
Then I wrote rewrite rule with condition like this.
| Code: | RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)/file.pl
RewriteRule ^(.*)/file\.pl$ http://www.website.com [R=301,L] |
Again it works for everything else except cgi-bin. SO it works when I put in
http://www.website.com/cgi-bi/file.pl or anythingelse except cgi-bin.
I know it is probably because cgi-bin is set to script directory and it treats it differently, so is there any way around it?  |

vprajapa,
I cannot duplicate your problem with Apache 2.2.3 on Windows 2000.
Either RedirectPermanent or RewriteRule (or both) works correctly for me, regardless of whether I also have a ScriptAlias for /cgi-bin.
Perhaps you could enable more detailed logging for mod_rewrite with: | Code: | RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 9 |
You should see entries like this in rewrite.log: | Quote: | (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /cgi-bin/file.pl
(3) applying pattern '^(.*)/file\.pl$' to uri '/cgi-bin/file.pl'
(4) RewriteCond: input='GET /cgi-bin/file.pl HTTP/1.1' pattern='^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)/file.pl' => matched
(2) rewrite '/cgi-bin/file.pl' -> 'http://www.website.com'
(2) explicitly forcing redirect with http://www.website.com
(1) escaping http://www.website.com for redirect
(1) redirect to http://www.website.com [REDIRECT/301] |
Do you have any other directives in your httpd.conf which refer to cgi-bin (except for ScriptAlias)?
