mod_rewrite on windows

Hello,

i moved .htaccess mod_rewrite configuration from linux box to windows
and have a problem. Have just simple rule for fancy urls.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/html/index.php?param=$1 [QSA,L]

on linux box it works perfect, on windows the result is

'/html/C:/Public/_work/classic-cars/httpdocs/html/index.php'

It seems, mod_rewrite puts /html/ (relative path to virtualhost
document root) at the beginning. Don't know why.. if i move .htaccess
to root, mod_rewrite puts just '/'.

apache version is 2.0.58

Thanks for any advice..
Andrew

How come you rewrite to PHYSICAL path when mod_rewrite used in .htaccess
expects virtual path (relative to DocumentRoot) there?

That is correct - then the second argument of RewriteRule doesn't start
with a slash, it will be appended to the actual local URI. Windows
'C:/blahblah' from your %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} does not start with a '/'.

Just remove %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} from your RewriteRule or check
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod...ml#rewritebase for
internal redirects relative to physical paths.
