I have a new LAMP CENTOS 5 server I am setting up and trying to copy the configuration from another web server I have. I am stuck with what I think is a mod_rewrite problem.
If I go to http://old-server.com/any_page_name.php it correctly routes through some handling code in index.php and shows me a graceful "Page Cannot Be Displayed" message.
But if I go to http://new-server.com/any_page_name.php I get an ugly Apache 404 Not Found error message.
I looked in both httpd.conf files and they both have only one reference to mod_rewrite.
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
So it seems like that should be fine.
At the bottom of httpd.conf I have the code:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin
[email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ServerName new-server.com
ErrorLog logs/new-server.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/new-server.com-access_log common
</VirtualHost>
Then in the root of /var/www/html I have the exact same .htaccess file that looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /page-unavailable/
<files ~ "\.tpl$">
order deny,allow
allow from none
deny from all
</files>
So I don't see why the page load at old-server.com works fine while new-server.com doesn't route through index.php like I want it to do.
Thanks.
