mod-alias

I have this alias configuration: Alias /test/ "D:/WWW/Test/" <Directory "D:/WWW/Test/"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> Then inside D:/WWW/Test/ directory, I put .htaccess with the following configuration: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^.]*\.css)$ resources/$1 [L,NC] </IfModule> I just want to redirect all request from localhost/test/css/* to localhost/test/resources/css/* . But it seems that the .htaccess is ignored. Even if I put DirectoryIndex blablabla.php , browser still displays index.html. How to solve this? Thank you. You need three things:

I have a site with a set of old .html and .php pages that have been put into a CMS. Currently in the .htaccess file there are about 30 mod_alias redirects in the following form: redirect 301 /oldpage1.html http://www.example.com/newpage1.php redirect 301 /oldpage2.php http://www.example.com/newpage2.php redirect 301 /oldpage3.php http://www.example.com/newpage3.php But we want to use mod_rewrite to have pretty URLs in our CMS, which will take the form http://www.example.com/pagename.php , so also have the following: RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond

I have a server, its httpd.conf already has some " RedirectMatch permanent " directives in it. I'm not that familiar with mod_alias, I've only ever used mod_rewrite. What's the basic difference? I don't see a "L" flag in mod_alias to stop processing rules. Which one should I use for best practices of redirecting from one sub-domain to another? Can I use both at the same time and will it be obvious which takes precedence? Chad Birch mod_alias is basically a simpler version of mod_rewrite. It can't do some things that mod_rewrite can, such as manipulate the query string. If you're able to choose
