Hi,

I'm using Apache 2.2 on Fedora Core 5 Linux.  What I want is if a user
requests a URL with a particular directory name, "subdir1" to rewrite
the URL replacing "subdir1" with "subdir2".  So I created
this .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule   subdir1/(.*) subdir2/$1

and placed it in /webroot/.  Unfortunately, when I request

[url]http://mydomain.com/subdir1/test20/order_form.php?QuickView=0&Department=Main[/url
]

the URL was not rewritten.  What is wrong with my .htaccess file?

Thanks, - Dave

I don't use .htaccess so I'm not sure what your problem is.  Have you
tried setting RewriteLogLevel to a non-zero value and examining the
rewrite log?  It can be very useful in showing you how the rewrite
process works.
