Hi all,
I want to set up my Apache server so that I can have
a script process URLs like http://MYURL/tag/foo,
such that a script named tag will receive the word
"foo" as a parameter.
Anybody know how this can be done?
Thanks.

RewriteRule ^tag/(.*)$ /tag/script.php?foo=$1 [L]

I just tried that and it doesn't work.
I enabled mod_rewrite, added the line above, and
even added the tag directory FWIW. Alas
it gives error 404.

When debugging rewrite rule problems, also consider enabling the rewrite
log:
RewriteLogLevel 5
will give you some data to help determine your problem.

Oddly, there's nothing in the log. I did restart Apache,
so this is strange.

Did you change script.php to the proper name of php script on your
server?

Yes, and I chmod'd it to 777, as well as the tag directory.

Did you add the 'RewriteLog
write the log?

1. Can you reach your script direclty?: http://YOURSERVER/tag/script.php?foo=parameter
2. If so can you dump your .htaccess here?
3. you shouldn't change mode to 777. 7=4(read)+2(write)+1(executable)
which is not a good idea. 4 is enough.

Yes, it has 0 bytes.

yes

There is only one, at c:\
It only has AuthName, AuthType, and

Can you dump your .htaccess as it is?(remove your 'private data')

You see, it's very simple:
AuthName "..."
AuthType Basic
order allow,deny
deny from ....
allow from all

You mean it doesn't go in httpd.conf?

I moved all the RewriteRule's from httpd.conf to .htaccess
and restarted Apache, but it still doesn't work.

Well, all you need to do is :
1. in httpd.conf uncomment this line :LoadModule rewrite_module
modules/mod_rewrite.so
2 to .htaccess put in:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*)$ /tag/yourscript.php?foo=$1 [L]

Yep, that's what I've got.
Perhaps under Windows it's not OK to put
..htaccess at c:\ ?

Place .htaccess in root folder of your web aplication.

I did, and I re-verified that its permissions are 777
(turns out that VIM for Windows sets them to 700),
and then I restarted. It still doesn't work.

Just drop me an email with .htaccess and httpd.conf.

Define this in the directory where you need it, in your
case "/"
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
In this case, your script is tag (not tag.php).
The tag script can extract the parameters behind /tag/
from the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] global variable.
I found it here:
http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/2006/06/php-downloads-conte nt-disposition.html
You goal is a bit different than his, but the same
technique will work.
In my opinion this is faster and easier than rewrites.
