Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?members
RewriteRule ^/?(.+) /members/$1 [L]

Wow, you are the man, thank you for doing that! It did not work, but I appreciate you putting that much time into that. Wow. Over and beyond.

I still get a failed load, when I just load the domain name it does not show the home page, rather the index of the page and no icons when I click on the index.html file it gets a page cannot be displayed error.

Back to the drawing board, I think I will try explicitly try defining each file that is there and make sure it is not the one called. or something.

What do you think?

Ok, I tried this both in the .htaccess file and in the httpd.conf file in the <VirtualHost ip> tag, and I tried it this way, in both places:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_URI} !^/?members
RewriteRule ^/?(.+) /members/$1 [L]

But every way, it fails to redirect and I just get a page cannot be displayed file.
Any more ideas?
Is there something extra I need to do, do I need to allow mod_rewrite somewhere above in the httpd.conf file, like a module or something?

Thanks.
Richard

PS> Also with the above mentioned code, when I load the main url, instead of the index listing of everything in the directory, I get a page cannot be found(404) error. Strange.

Ok, I went and looked over my httpd.conf file and I do see the modules already loaded:

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
and
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

Since those are there, why would this not work?

Thanks,
Richard

Somehow I changed this without intending to, the ENV: should not be there, you could try this:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{EQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?members
RewriteRule ^/?(.+) /members/$1 [L]

Yeah I added the ENV: based on the documentation, just to try it, but it does not work either way.

With this:
(I changed the system over the weekend, the directory is now /web instead of members)

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{EQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?web
RewriteRule ^/?(.+) /web/$1 [L]

It still does not work, I can load pages with http://www.mydom.com/web/usernamehere/filename.html
that does work, but images will not show, I get placeholder spots with red x's in them...

Is there perhaps something in the link killing the images?
when I go to:
http://www.mydom.com/usernamehere
I still get a page not found instead of redirecting the file loaded to /web/usernamehere

I'm baffled and lost

Anything further you notice?
(again thank you for all the help, I'm learning

)

I turned on the rewrite log to see what is happening:

Code:

AddModule mod_rewrite.c
RewriteLog "/usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite.log"

and the rewrite.log is there, but is empty. it is like this rewrite does not even get executed...

any ideas?
