hi i am trying to get mod_rewrite working for my apache server ( apache 2.2.8 ).

my virtual host files ( vhost.conf ) looks something like this :

##########################################################################

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@agnello.sys.qualiproj.com ServerName agnello.sys.qualiproj.qualispace.com ServerAlias www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.com DocumentRoot /websites/agnello.com/web <Directory /websites/agnello.com/web/*> Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^bob.html$ index.html </Directory>

ErrorLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log CustomLog /websites/agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_logcombined TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/ agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.access_log 5M" TransferLog "|/usr/local/apache2/bin/rotatelogs /websites/ agnello.com/logs/agnello.sys.qualiproj.error_log 5M"

</VirtualHost> ###################################################################### My basic aim is to check if mod_rewrirte works . In the httpd.conf the following lines exist so the modules are loaded !!

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

i add a ( very simple ) rule to rewriite on the url anything matching the pattern bob.html ---- to index.html But when i try to browse *http://*www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.com/bob.htmlhttp://www.agnello.sys.qualiproj.quali.com/bob.htmlits still shows me the html page for bob.html and not index.html.

no error logs found !!

Can any one help me with this.

Thanks
