i''ve got rails working o.k. at the moment. i''m running on apache and have a directory http://127.0.0.1/todo/ browsing it results in redirection to http://127.0.0.1/todo/public/_doc/index.html fine. however, browsing this http://127.0.0.1/todo/public/todo which i expect to redirect to http://127.0.0.1/todo/public/dispatch.cgi?controller=todo instead dumps me to http://127.0.0.1/todo/ now, before i re-read (for the forty millionth time) the docs for mod_rewrite, can someone confirm that a url like http://127.0.0.1/todo/public/foobar should, in fact, be taking me to http://127.0.0.1/todo/public/dispatch.cgi?controller=foobar and, if not, explain the re-write logic to me? kind regards. -a -- ==============================================================================| EMAIL :: Ara [dot] T [dot] Howard [at] noaa [dot] gov | PHONE :: 303.497.6469 | When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good | bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself. --Shunryu Suzuki ===============================================================================
