mod_rewrite rules for live site
|

| dennis.sprengers@gmail.com 2007-10-27, 7:01 pm |
| * I'm trying to work out some rewrite rules that should do the
following:
case 1: a request to mysite.com:
rewrite http://www.mysite.com/files/sheets.ppt
to http://www.mysite.com/sites/default/files/sheets.ppt
case 1 - n: a request to othersite.com:
rewrite http://www.othersite.com/files/sheets.ppt
to http://www.othersite.com/sites/othe...iles/sheets.ppt
So, if a request comes in to mysite.com, /files/-urls need to be
rewritten do /sites/default/files/sheets/ppt, since mysite is the
default website on the server. Surfing to a file on any other website
that is hosted on the server, needs to be rewritten to /sites/
<name_of_site>/files/sheets.ppt
Sheets.ppt is of course just an example of a file file.
* I first tested my CMS (for which I need these rules) on my own
little server @home, and found these rules to be working OK after
spending hours on forums on apache and mod_rewrite:
# http://localhost/mysite/files/* > /mysite/sites/default/files/*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}-default ^/mysite/.+-(default)$ [NC,OR]
# http://loclahost/<othersite>/files/* > /<othersite>/sites/
<othersite>/files/*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}-default ^(.+)(default)$ [NC,OR]
But now I have no clue on where to begin anymore, since it has been a
long time I researched mod_rewrite. Could somebody help me out? Any
help is appreciated :-)

You're making it harder than you need to. Just use an alias:
Alias /files <path to the webroot>/sites/default/files

I would really like it to work with mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess, so
that I don't have to create a new alias for every website I might add
in the future. So if you understand mod_rewrite, please throw me a
bone here :-)

And your PHP question is?
Try an appropriate newsgroup - such as alt.apache.configuration.
