mod_rewrite headache

[Stoo]

Hokey Cokey..

Running an asp.net website, and using the rather fabby helicon ISAPI_Rewrite plugin..

The scenario is this:

Existing website at http://www.mysite.com

New code inserted as a standalone application in http://www.mysite.com/v2

After some fun and games playing with web.config inheritence I finally have the v2 app working nicely with the existing site.

Now, the new architecture has all it's gubbins in an entirely different structure, which I'd like to rewrite so it fits in better with current and future SEO etc..

So I want to go from this:

http://www.mysite.com/v2/webpages/ne.../homepage.aspx

to:

http://www.mysite.com/producthomepage.aspx

I've got a rule like this:
RewriteRule ^producthomepage.aspx\.aspx$ /v2/webpages/newproduct/homepage.aspx [I,L]

But when it does that, I end up with a 403 forbidden error..

Umm.. help?

Which version of ISAPI_rewrite Stoo? (mod_rewrite is apache by the way). If it's the mod_rewrite 'compatible' version it can be a joy to work with. If it's the old version it can be monstrous.

[yamangman]

Try:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# For what I assume is v2
# Caching, rewrite repeat setting
CacheClockRate 300
RepeatLimit 20

#Block log access etc
RewriteRule /httpd(?:\.ini|\.parse\.errors) / [F,I,O]
RewriteRule .*\.isrwhlp / [F,I,O]

#U is to unmangle logging
RewriteRule /producthomepage.aspx$ /v2/webpages/newproduct/homepage.aspx [I,U,L]

For starters, and if you need any more help let me know. Don't forget to check your log (httpd.ini.parse.errors - if that is all set up on the server).

Yup, it's V2, I'll give that a go on Monday, cheers
