With the following settings to redirect a specific hostname to a directory on apache http server 2.2, Listen 1984 <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80 *:1984> Servername local.bvr ServerAlias local.bvr *.local.bvr ServerAdmin webmaster@local.bvr DocumentRoot /var/www/bvr/local <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteLog "/usr/local/var/apache2/logs/rewrite-local-bvr.log" RewriteLogLevel 3 </IfModule> <Directory /> Options -Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks </Directory> Alias /man /var/www/man <Directory "/var/www/man"> AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 </Directory> </VirtualHost> Code (markup): when i use the following htaccess file, RewriteEngine on Code (markup): within a directory /var/www/bvr/local/ and access it using the url http://local.bvr/icsedu i get an internal server error on my local apache server... however, when i access the same using the url, http://192.168.1.2/bvr/local/icsedu there is no error!!! What should be the correct way to configure (a virtual host, or else) so that i dont end up in such erratic behaviour on my mod_rewrites
