Use that EngineLog or whatever it is to crank up your logging of mod_rewrite as high as it will go. Never mind the warning in the Apache manual about dire consequences to performance right now -- You'll *NEVER* intuit what the hell mod_rewrite is doing without that log. Trust me on this one :-) Lost a lot of hair before I got brave enough to ignore that particular warning in the manual. EXCEPTION: You're *not* doing this to a *LIVE* *PRODUCTION* server, right?!!! Don't know squat about the mod_vhost_alias, or how it might be involved with the rewrite bit. You are reading everything you can find about these at http://apache.org, right? Very nice web-site, once you figure out the format of the documentation. If your head is spinning, study the documentation on the simplist directive you think you *completely* understand, and then work with one that you think you understand that's a bit more similar to the one that's giving you problems, and then go back to your problem directive... Seeing the documentation "in context" with other directives often makes clear a single line that otherwise is just gibberish :-) YMMV. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
