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 Exponential thinks that the Squirrelmail logon is an Exponential 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

try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/squirrelmail(.*)$ /squirrelmail$1 [L]
RewriteRule !(^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf)$ /index.php

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 !
