Hi,

( I just saw this on the archives ... as I'm not subscribed to the list,
I don't know whether someone already answered this, anyway: )

try putting [PT] (pass-through) at the end of the line with the rewrite
rule. This has the effect of giving mod_alias also a chance to process
the URL...

RewriteRule  ^/stats(.*)        /reports/%{SERVER_NAME}$1  [PT]

In this particular case: why not directly rewrite it to
"/var/reports/..."?


Hope that helps,
