I am running a database with a large query and I am running into a 255 char url limit with mod_rewrite, without mod_rewrite my 500~ char URLs work but with mod_rewrite, it keeps saying file not found. I did some experimenting and it seems there is a 255 limit with mod rewrite... any way to increase this? Forbidden You don't have permission to access (my 500 char url) on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. with less than 255 chars, no error without mod rewrite, no error
