For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
apache re-write directories problem

Posted by wilko (wilko), 1 November 2004
Hi,

I have contact.html rewritten to index.cgi?n0=CON&n1=6222152121092225765 using:

RewriteRule contact.html index.cgi?n0=CON&n1=6222152121092225765

in a .htaccess file.

This works fine but it interferes with static contact.html pages in subdirectories like conference/contact.html.

I have played around a bit with the rewrite rule and put a  .htaccess in the conference directory with no luck.

can you help please.

Hi.

Quick answer (I'm in the middle of training).   The re-write rules in Apache use regular expressions so if you change
   contact.html
to
   ^contact.html
it should limit it to only things that START WITH contact.

By the way - you should really have a \ in front of the ., as that means any character - so
   ^contact\.html

That now works.

I had tried the ^ infront but not \.     Even that didn't work straight off because of the browsers cache  - which always gets me!

Thanks Graham and thanks for your recent Magazine.

Jim
