    Hi all,

    I am getting a 404 error when trying to rewrite one cgi script to another one such as:

    Options FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^from.cgi to.cgi

    With this rule above my expectaion is that the following url:

    mydomain/cgi-bin/from.cgi will be rewritten to mydomain/cgi-bin/to.cgi.

    Instead I get the following error in the browser:

    "The requested URL /Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin/to.cgi was not found on this server."

    This is the error in the error.log

    "[Thu Jul 01 10:51:57 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/Program Files"

    This is strange as it is referencing the htdocs folder which is not being utulized for this request.

    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Andy
