Re: URL Rewriting in Apache anyone?

["Philip Coombes" <philip.coombes@xxxxxxx>]

I would also add that rewrite directives can normally also go in a
.htaccess
file in the directory that the web files are held in. This allows you
to
mess around with things without restarting apache all the time, even if
in
the end you put them in your httpd.conf anyway.

Cheers,

Phil,
