<div><br></div><div>aha!</div><div>my server admin just noticed that:</div><div>1. i'm using lower-case names, i.e. <a href="http://myserver.com/wiki/group/page">http://myserver.com/wiki/group/page</a></div><div>&</div><div>2. the rewriteRule was only looking for a capital first letter</div><div><br></div><div>so, changing my RewriteRule from:</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><div><div><div>RedirectMatch ^/([A-Z0-9]+)/?$ /$1/Index</div><div> to</div></div><div>RedirectMatch ^/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /$1/Index</div><div><br></div><div>... sort of works - it allows the mod_rewrite to finally execute (thank goodness; i thought i was going crazy for awhile) - only problem is that all pages were missing their css formatting. turns out calls to /wiki/pub were probably getting rewritten too, so i changed it further to:</div><div><br></div></div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; "><div>RewriteRule ^([^/(pub)].*) pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]</div><div><br></div><div>and now it seems to work fine!!!</div><div><br></div><div>in anycase, thanks for the quick help and moral support. i appreciate it</div><div>best,</div><div>adam</div></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
