rewrite rules to httpd.conf: How?

Hi !

Sorry for this newbie question. If i want have the rewrites rules working from httpd.conf all what i need is move the content from the htaccess there? Or i need include some extra-rules to the config file?
Where i can find instructions to do that?

Thanx !

Hello Acido,

the rewrite rules inserted into httpd.conf are slightly different from the ones in .htaccess.

They may be different depending on server configuration, but here is an example of directives to include into a corresponding <VirtualHost> section:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME}index.php -f
RewriteRule ^(/forum.*)/$ $1/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^/forum/(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /forum/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteRule ^/forum/(.*\.php)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^/forum/(archive/.*)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/forum/(.+)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Replace "/forum" with vB subfolder name ("/' when vB is in root)

thanx Oleg, but is not working yet. All the url's end is 404 error.

What if try with absoluthe paths? can you give me the sintaxis but usinf full path instead of /forums ?
My htaccess works perfect. My trouble is on the httpd.conf and i'm not sure where start to check the trouble :(

My instalation is in :www.mydomain.com/foros
(vb is not in root)

Basically, it is not required to specify full paths, you just need to replace "/forum" with "/foros".

Did you restarted Apache after httpd.conf modification? (this is a required step)

Still with error 404 on all Url's
Yes, we restart apache on each httpd.conf modification. I send you a PM to chek my personal config, ok ?

Well here is my solution for httpd.conf :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|TRACK)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
<Directory /full-path-to-vbroot>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.0([0-9]+)\.html$ /full-path-to-vbroot/forumdisplay.php?f=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule \.([0-9]+)\.html$ /full-path-to-vbroot/showthread.php?t=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /full-path-to-vbroot/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.p$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ /full-path-to-vbroot/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ /full-path-to-vbroot/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /full-path-to-vbroot/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</Directory>

where /full-path-to-vbroot is replaced with the full server path to my vbulletin root folder.

Al running fine now

Great!
