Post subject: Help needed with mod rewrite
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)
There is a program called webcollage that fetches images from random
web sites and posts them into a person's screen as a collage.
I'd like to redirect this program to just a single image of my
choice.
I've done the following using mod_rewrite and it doesn't seem to work.
Nothing gets rewritten.
Any help appreciated, I'm trying to be a photographer, not system
admin in my retirement. Thanks!

--httpd.conf extract:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^webcollage.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) robertdfeinman_com.jpg [L]

RewriteLogLevel 7
RewriteLog "/export/home/rdf/rewrite.log"

--sample from apache log
66.232.198.52 - - [03/Jan/2004:10:52:53 -0500] "GET
/panoramic_horizontal/hawaii/kauai/pages/kauai_beach_hpan.html
HTTP/1.0" 200 2980 "http://www.altavista.com/image/randomlink"
"webcollage/1.107"

--contents of rewrite.log
66.114.64.63 - - [03/Jan/2004:11:48:01 -0500] [66.114.64.63/sid#178040]
[rid#2ab040/initial] (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri
/disco3iv/html/disco3iv.xml
66.114.64.63 - - [03/Jan/2004:11:48:01 -0500] [66.114.64.63/sid#178040]
[rid#2ab040/initial] (3) applying pattern '^(.*)' to uri
'/disco3iv/html/disco3iv.xml'
66.114.64.63 - - [03/Jan/2004:11:48:01 -0500] [66.114.64.63/sid#178040]
[rid#2ab040/initial] (4) RewriteCond: input='Java1.2.2'
pattern='^webcollage.*' => not-matched
66.114.64.63 - - [03/Jan/2004:11:48:01 -0500] [66.114.64.63/sid#178040]
[rid#2ab040/initial] (1) pass through /disco3iv/html/disco3iv.xml

-- the contents of the rewrite.log file get created when I restart
the apache server, but nothing else seems to get added.
66.114.64.63 is the IP of the web server.
I have no idea what all the .xml stuff is.

Sorry, if this appears twice, but it seems my ISP ate the first posting..

belongs to the oracle application server on the same box. your
rewrite-rules are probably in the wrong virtual host context, they
need to go into the one with the ServerName robertdfeinman.com
directive.

also the apache version on that box is probably old enough to be quite
a security risk, btw...

Thanks, I figured out that the directives needed to be in the virtual host
context a few hours after I posted the question.
I see rewrite rules in the log file, so I assume it's working. I can't think
of anyway to see what gets served since the hits are random.

It would be nice to see the results in the log file reports, but I guess
that's another topic..<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

it gives an error 400 now. you need to change the RewriteRule a bit:

RewriteRule .* /target.jpg [L]

you won't see it any other than seeing requests to random images by
the culprit app to have the length of the dummy pic. you may want to
switch your log format to combined to see the user-agent too...
