mod_rewrite and directory context

Hi,

I'm trying to pass everything that is not a file to `index.php` as a
request parameter without using a `.htaccess` file.

A request to http://www.example.com/test must be rewritten to
http://www.example.com/index.php?q=/test.

I'm using Debian Squeeze (6.0) and Apache 2.2.16. Here is my
configuration file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example
ServerName www.example.com
ServerAlias example.com

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error/example.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access/example.log combined

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

<Directory "/var/www/test">
AllowOverride None
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The first call to `mod_rewrite` within the _VirtualHost_ scope will as
expected change example.com to www.example.com. But, the second call in
the _Directory_ does not seems to work and calling
http://www.example.com/test will throw a 404 error.

Here is the result in the log file:

(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /test
(3) applying pattern '^/(.*)' to uri '/test'
(4) RewriteCond: input='www.example.com' pattern='!^www\.example\.com
$' [NC] => not-matched
(1) pass through /test
(3) [perdir /var/www/example/] strip per-dir
prefix: /var/www/example/test -> test
(3) [perdir /var/www/example/] applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri 'test'
(1) [perdir /var/www/example/] pass through /var/www/test/test
File does not exist: /var/www/test/test

What did I miss?

First this is wrong:

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks

You should never mix + and - in the Options.

Second if you read mod_rewrite docs you will see that QSA flag appends
something, which is why you have double "test" as rewrite result.

Isn't it just +/- and non +/- that are the mix to avoid?

I just mess with the directory names but the output is correct and QSA
is the behavior I want.

Here is the correct logs output:

GET /mypath HTTP/1.1

(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /mypath
(3) applying pattern '^/(.*)' to uri '/mypath'
(4) RewriteCond: input='www.test.com' pattern='!^www\.test\.com$' [NC]
=> not-matched
(1) pass through /mypath
(3) [perdir /var/www/example/] strip per-dir
prefix: /var/www/example/mypath -> mypath
(3) [perdir /var/www/example/] applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri
'mypath'
(1) [perdir /var/www/example/] pass through /var/www/example/mypath

File does not exist: /var/www/example/mypath

So it looks like that `mod_rewrite` is applying the last rule but the
conditions are not tested.

OK, I saw my regrettable error, the regex was not correct due to
directory stripping.

This one is now working:
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?q=/$1 [QSA,L]
