add this line to turn on max verbosity on rewrites.
Code:
RewriteLogLevel 9

You probably have absolute paths for images, and these are getting redirected incorrectly. It very hard to tell without seeing what is happening, but you could grab the properties of the missing images to get what path it is trying to load them from and see if that has been incorrectly rewritten.

Thumbs up It worked!!

I GOT IT TO WORK!!! SWEET, but please tell me if you see a glitch in this:

Code:
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/web/(.*)
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://www.ourdomain.com/web$1 [R]
When I visit http://www.ourdomain.com/username it redirects to
http://www.ourdomain.com/web/username and everything loads just fine!!
when I go to http://www.ourdomain.com/css it loads the index of the css just fine but the images still do not show on there, but they do if I just go the main domain so I don't care.
however, when I go to http://www.ourdomain.com/images
I get redirected to http://www.ourdomain.com/web/403.shtml
lol, I don't know why that happens, but could it be because images is a symlink to the main websites images directory??
I don't know.
But anyhow do you see any glitches or a way that could be broken?

thank you so much for ALL your help.
I could not have done it without you.
Richard

It is in fact bacuse of the symlink:

Code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/web
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+) http://www.ourdomain.com/web$1 [R]
It's not the most elegant of solutions, (try REQUEST_URI ) , and you donr't need http://www.ourdomain.com in the redirect.

Yeah, at first I did not put the domain name in there and it redirected them to http://mydomain.com/web/username
instead of the http://www.mydomain.com/web/username

I guess it does not matter if it has www. or not, but the secure pages do, because we have the ssl cert setup as www.domain.com not just domain.com.

Thanks again for everything.
Richard

That should be your first redirection rule in that case.

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/web
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond   /home/path/to/public_html/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)  /web$1

Thank you for all the help. I have one more question, I see that mod_rewrite can even check a database, but I don't see a way to do that.

How can I check the database on the fly to see if a username is even legit and redirect only if it is, and otherwise redirect somewhere else?

Do you know where I can see an example of this?

I'd really appreciate it.
I am totally in love with this mod_rewrite, I cannot believe how much better it is then using .htaccess PER USER!! Wow, what power!

Thank you so very very much.
Richard
