mod_rewrite per-dir redirection returning a 400
- by Eaterrust
I moved my images directory to a different folder, and now I want to redirect all images requests from that folder to the new one.
I do not have access to the main configuraion file, so I'm doing this in a .htaccess.
I tried this, and it works:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} old_dir/.+.(jpg|png|gif)$
RewriteRule old_dir/(.+[^/]+..+)$ $1 [L,PT]
But since they have permanently moved, I want to do a proper redirect, so I added the [R] flag, like this:
%{REQUEST_URI} old_dir/.+.(jpg|png|gif)$
RewriteRule old_dir/(.+[^/]+..+)$ $1 [L,PT,R]
But the server gets confused, and returns a 400, so I looked at the log file, and this is what happens:
strip per-dir prefix: C:/wamp/www/natrazyle/old_dir/images/banner.jpg - old_dir/images/banner.jpg
applying pattern 'old_dir/(.+[^/]+..+)$' to uri 'old_dir/images/banner.jpg'
rewrite 'old_dir/images/banner.jpg' - 'images/banner.jpg'
add per-dir prefix: images/banner.jpg - C:/wamp/www/natrazyle/images/banner.jpg
explicitly forcing redirect with http://localhost/C:/wamp/www/natrazyle/images/banner.jpg
As you can see, the full local path gets added after localhost
I know I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure it out myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
