mod_rewrite on windows200 cant access URL variables

Hi people

I have a mod-rewrite which works on my linux server, BUT I want to develop on my local windows 2000 machine. I am using

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /$1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2 [L,NC]

I have a phpinfo.php file which does a phpinfo(); to show all the settings.
The rewrite works ok. ie http://localhost/phpinfo/1 rewrites as phpinfo.php?level1=1 (there is no subdirectory /1)

The big problem is that although linux shows $_GET variables, windows doesnt.

I get the following:-

WINDOWS 2000, Apache 1.3.28
_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] GET
_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] no value
_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] /phpinfo/1
_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] /phpinfo
_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] /1
_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] c:\\wwwroot\\1
_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] /phpinfo/1
_SERVER["argv"] Array
(
)

_SERVER["argc"] 0

LINUX, Apache 1.3.29
_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] /phpinfo/1
_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] /phpinfo.php
_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] /phpinfo.php
_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] /homepages/15/d38847442/htdocs/phpinfo.php
_SERVER["STATUS"] 200
_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] /phpinfo.php
_SERVER["argv"] Array
(
[0] => level_1=1
)

_SERVER["argc"] 1

Can you provide apache rewrite logs for this request?

I have access.log and error.log, is there a specific rewrite log, if so how would i set it up?
Also if the pages are being shown without error, as above, what would this tell you about why the $_get isnt being populated. There is no directory c:\wwwroot\1 so this would have normally generated a 404 page, but the rewrite worked and used the phpinfo script in c:\wwwroot.

here is the access.log for the pages, the 404's were where I was testing.

No, I mean log created by RewriteLog directive:

---
The RewriteLog directive sets the name of the file to which the server logs any rewriting actions it performs. If the name does not begin with a slash ('/') then it is assumed to be relative to the Server Root. The directive should occur only once per server config.

Example:

RewriteLog "/usr/local/var/apache/logs/rewrite.log"

I see that your rewrite rules are resulted in recursion

Consider changing

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /$1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2 [L,NC]

into

RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)$ /$1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2 [L,NC]

I've not testet this, but if problem still persis, i'll dig deeper ;)

Should only 2nd line be enough, a bit modified... ?

RewriteRule ^/([^/.]*?)/(.*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2 [L,NC]

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

should be but the big picture is:-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /$1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2&level_2=$3 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2&level_2=$3&level_3=$4 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /$1.php?level_1=$2&level_2=$3&level_3=$4&level_4=$5 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)(/([^/]*))?$ /$1.php?level_1=$2&level_2=$3&level_3=$4&level_4=$5&level_5=$6&$8[L,NC]

I think it is better to pass all part after phpinfo/[from here till end] to phpinfo.php - and let phpinfo.php itself handle request string - i.e. using split( "/", $level_1 ) .... ?

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

then I would have to include this in all scripts, which defeats the object of using it, after all it works on my linux server.

LVL 4

DemiurgCommented: 2004-06-16

Ok, got it

So what is your state for now? Was my last proposed rule helpful?

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

nope, I still have no url passed values.

_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] /phpinfo/q
_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] /phpinfo
_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] /q
_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] c:\\wwwroot\\q
_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] /phpinfo/q
_SERVER["argv"] Array
(
)

_SERVER["argc"] 0

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

GOT IT!!!!!!!

Bl**dy windows OS

i removed the .htaccess file and http://localhost/phpinfo/x was still doing phpinfo.php
I added a directory called phpinfo and it worked - giving a directory listing

I re-created the .htaccess and voila it worked.

So basically if a directory doesnt exist it looks for a script (.php .html) and then uses that with further parameters sdded to the end of it.

I have to find a workaround for that now.

DemiurgCommented: 2004-06-16

:-\ maybe some mess with rewrite_conf ... -f on win32 ?

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

the problem lies in here somewhere

with URL http://localhost/index/q we get:-
add path-info postfix: c:/wwwroot/index.php -> c:/wwwroot/index.php/q
strip per-dir prefix: c:/wwwroot/index.php/q -> index.php/q
applying pattern '^([^/.]*)$' to uri 'index.php/q'

I dont want index.php/q though!!!!! argghhhhh!!!

LVL 4

DemiurgCommented: 2004-06-16

And what is on linux in this case ?

But we can change rules to work with 'index.php/q' ?

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-06-16

dont have access to linux logs, but yes we can now at least change the rules

LVL 4

DemiurgCommented: 2004-06-21

What's the state of your rewrite research? Have you managed to change the rules accordingly?

LVL 9

waygoodAuthor Commented: 2004-08-17

yes I think abandon is the best. No luck on the Win re-write
