Nick Woods	Thursday 08 April 2004 8:06:38 am I've ecently implemented the Apache rewrite rule (see http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/installation/virtual_host_setup ) and although the main website still works I now find that Squirrelmail has been broken and Ezpublish thinks that the Squirrelmail logon is an ezpublish module This is what I added to Apaches httpd.conf file :- RewriteEngine On RewriteRule !(^/design\|^/var/./storage\|^/var/storage\|^/var/./cache\|^/var/cache\|^/extension/./design\|^/kernel/setup/packages).\.(gif\|css\|jpg\|png\|jar\|js\|ico\|pdf\|swf)$ /index.php I guess I need to tune it to allow squirrelmail to work - the path is squirrelmail/src/login.php Can someone tell me what Ineed to do to the Rewriterule to fix this ? Thanks

Nick Woods	Wednesday 14 April 2004 3:15:42 pm Hi Bjorn Unfortunately it didnt work. After a bit of digging around in my httpd.conf files (it was setup by the ISP when we rented the server) I eventually found that there was an alias command for /squirrelmail and the rewrite rule kept clashing with it. Rather than change the alias (because of the way the webser appliance is set up) i found that using rewritecond worked :- RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(^/squirrelmail(.)) RewriteRule !(^/design\|^/var/./storage\|^/var/storage\|^/var/./cache\|^/var/cache\|^/extension/./design\|^/kernel/setup/packages).*\.(gif\|css\|jpg\|png\|jar\|js\|ico\|pdf\|swf)$ /index.php Thanks once again for your help - although your idea didnt work you did give me the confidence to hunt around and work it out for myself !
