[FX.php List] [Off] Help with .htaccess RewriteRule or Redirect

[Troy Meyers]

Success!

Roger,

I reread the 1.3 docs, and between them and what you showed me I think I cracked the nut.

It turns out that the thing that works is creating a /flasking directory at www.troymeyers.com, and in it putting just the .htaccess file containing:


#  this file is  /flasking/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /flasking
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/$1


It really works. You can try by using this URL as a test:
http://www.troymeyers.com/flasking/priceincrease.php?a=ZJNQWGCV

As you can see (at least I hope it works externally!) this gets changed to:
http://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/priceincrease.php?a=ZJNQWGCV
...which then comes off of our in-house server instead of Speakeasy.

...and a similar thing happens for any URL that starts with www.troymeyers.com/flasking which is just what I wanted.

Thank you all for your help! If anyone sees any trouble with this, please let me know.

One last question... what permissions should I use for this .htaccess file? I set it at 664, but that was just a guess.
