mod_rewrite and setenv

Hello,

I have looked a lot in Internet, and found many people complaining about the same problem, with no normal answer.

My problem:
mod_rewrite with its RewriteCond %{ENV:variable} form cannot read correctly the environment variables.

The variable is set directly in the .htaccess OR in the main httpd.conf. No matter, the variable won't be read. THe logging of the rewrite process will show that the value of %{ENV:variable} will be "".

I have found the same problem posted 5 years ago, with no answer, which is awkward (if this is a bug).

What I wrote was:

SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development

RewriteCond %{ENV:APPLICATION_ENV} ^development$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /XXX/index.php [NC,L]

Unfortunately, it doesnt work. Any experience with that? Where should I complain further?

Variables set by SetEnvIf are set earlier than those by SetEnv. Does that
resolve your problem?

This is a matter of order of processing. The rewrite directives run
earlier than the SetEnv directives. You can set the env var with
mod_rewrite:

RewriteRule ^ - [E:APPLICATION_ENV=development]

Thanks very much for the fast responses. Can this info be added in the mod_rewrite documentation, as this is very important for future questions?

OR: can the order of processing be changed?

Re: mod_rewrite and setenv [In reply to]

I am sorry, I looked only at "Using Environment Variables", "URL Rewriting", as I needed to read it (use it), and not to set it :) So a suggestion would be to move the info to that paragraph (eventually to put link to "Some Caveats" ?)

ANYWAY, I would expect this info also in the mod_rewrite, RewriteCond's documentation page.

Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day!
