I've got a site that was hosted on a linux el cheapo hosting service that I'm migrating to my Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server server running Apache 2.2.8 & PHP 5.2.5 w/rewrite_module enabled and AllowOverride All
, but I'm running into an issue with the following lines in the .htaccess
file:
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^view/([^/\.]+)/?$ /view.php?item=$1 [L]
#RewriteRule ^order/([^/\.]+)/?$ /order.php?item=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/?$ /category.php?category=$1 [L]
As you can see, I've commented out the RewriteRule
directives for /view/
and /order/
, so I'm only dealing with /category/
. When I attempt to load http://domain.tld/category/2/
it runs category.php
(I've added debug code to confirm), but $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
comes through as /category/2/
and $_GET['category']
comes through as empty.
I'm usually fine with troubleshooting .htaccess files and mod_rewrite directives, but this one's got me stumped for some reason.
Update: I followed Josh's suggestion and here's the what's dumped to mod_rewrite.log
when I try to access http://domain.tld/category/2/
:

just add this to your .htaccess file
i've had the same problem for hours
i don't know why, but it's turned on by default on OSX
it produces your error because when you try loading category/ it finds the category.php and redirects everything after the slash to that file
