[cobalt-users] RAQ3 Rewrite Rules

[Mark Mitchenall <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm getting some strange behaviour with rewrites rules on a RAQ3.  I
discovered it because we have a rewrite rule on one site which does the
following..

RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+\.html$   /$1.php?page=$2

If I have the URL...

  http://www.domain.com/test/123.html

... I would expect it to go to...

  http://www.domain.com/test.php?page=123

However, this doesn't work, but if I move the test.php script to another
directory and change the rewrite to...

RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+\.html$   /directory/$1.php?page=$2

..then it works.

On further inspection, I deleted the .htaccess file which had the rewrite
rules in and just tried the URL...

  http://www.domain.com/test

... and the test.php script still came up?!?!?  Where on earth is this
rewrite coming from?  I've been through the httpd.conf, srm.conf and every
other .conf file I could find but I couldn't see any rewrite which would
cause this to happen.  Everything in the conf files is as per the standard
settings put in by the coblat.  Is this a "feature"?

TIA

Mark
