Ok, I lied the whole thing is mute because I can not get anything work with tomcat. Here is the full deal, I have my developers working on there projects with all the images being stored under /AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg and with our set up of apache forwarding the request through an encrypted ajp tunnel to tomcat that then forwards the image to apache, which then delivers it to the user, it is just a bit slow and there is no need for it. What I want to do is rewrite it so instead of going to /AppDir/Images/Page/image1.jpg on my tomcat server it just goes to /Images/Page/image1.jpg on my apache server. Any suggestions? -----Original Message----- For reasons I don't want to go into, I need to rewrite all references to /dir1/dir2/ to /other_dir/ so that /dir1/dir2/file.ext goes to /other_dir/file.ext and /dir1/dir2/dir3/file.ext goes to /other_dir/dir3/file.ext and dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/file.ext goes to /other_dir/dir3/dir4/file.ext, etc. I can rewrite /dir1/dir2/file.ext to /other_dir/file.ext no problem with RewriteRule ^/dir1/dir2/(.*) /other_dir/$1 however I can not seem to get it to preserve directories. I do not mind writing additional rules to escape the directories like RewriteRule ^/test/([^/\.]+)/(.*) /other_dir/$1/$2 but that does not seem to work.
