Question about Rewriting

[obohland]

Hi there,

i got a question concerning Apache 1.3 Rewriting.
I want to rewrite an URL in case that a certain path is given. e.g i DONT want to rewrite

http://myserver/apps/windows/...

but i want to rewrite

http://myserver/apps/windows/tools/gfx/

TO:

http://myserver/prefix/apps/windows/tools/gfx/

i've written a rewrite rule like this:
RewriteRule ^/apps/windows/tools/gfx/(.*) /prefix/apps/windows/tools/gfx/$1

does not work. i've looked into the apache manuals but i did not find a solution.
help?

You probably want a RewriteCond, plus you need to make sure the rewrite engine is on.

From one of my virt hosts:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^[URL unfurl="true"]www.karaokeus.com$[/URL] [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.karaokeus.com/$1[/URL] [R,L]
