mod rewrite

Take this URL, http://example.org/SOME_REQUEST_HERE
I want to check if SOME_REQUEST_HERE is a directory (-d) or not, if it
is, go to it, if it isn't, then rewrite it like this
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)?$ index.php?request=$1

what I have now is this...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)?$ index.php?request=$1

when I echo the $_GET array (using PHP)
I have an array that looks like this...
array (
users = index.php
)
that's not what I want... I want users = SOME_REQUEST_HERE any help is
appreciated thanks.

Exclude the period of tghe RegEx, if you can. That would be the easiest way.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ /index.php?request=$1 [L]

Which error? What can you find in your RewriteLog (needs to be enabled
first)?

Nevermind, I found the problem.

With
RewriteLog logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLoglevel 5

The new mod_proxy versions (2.2 branch) should log something into the
error.log, if you set the Loglevel directive from e.g. error to debug.

this is totally helpful, thanks!

I probably don't need the proxy log (famous last words), but any way to
get such a log in Apache 2.0.x?

this is gravy, the rewrite log will make things seriously easier for me
next week, at the client site.

thanks much!
