[solved] Apache Rewrite Rules with RewriteBase not working

We've migrated a client to LSWS 4.1.10 Ent from an Apache environment. The site worked perfectly in Apache but now the ReWrite rules aren't working correctly. Below are the rules in the problematic .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3&urlC=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)$ index.php?func=$1 [QSA,L]

The rewrite engine appears to be working but its not passing variables on to index.php as it should be. We can't seem to figure out how to get it to work in LSWS even though everything works perfectly in Apache.

try this
%
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3&urlC=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)$ index.php?func=$1 [QSA,L]

make sure 'RewriteBase /directory/' points to the actual directory in question.

also, enable rewrite logging (add 'RewriteLogLevel 9' in httpd.conf) to further troubleshoot the rules (yours and mine).

The /directory/ folder does actually exist and is the base URL that's getting accessed. We've only changed the names here to protect the client's privacy. In the below log, /consultant/ represents /directory/ above.

The results of RewriteLogLevel 9 are:

so what you want is that if nothing after last "/", do not show that (empty parameter) in query string.

/directory/find-a-consultant/ ==> index.php?func=find-a-consultant instead of index.php?func=find-a-consultant&urlA=

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /directory/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)[/]*$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3&urlC=$4 [QSA,L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)[/]*$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2&urlB=$3 [QSA,L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)[/]*$ index.php?func=$1&urlA=$2 [QSA,L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)[/]*$ index.php?func=$1 [QSA,L]

Anything contained within the first / after the base directory should be passed to the first variable, which goes to func=. Then anything in the next set of slashes goes to urlA, next set to urlB, and next set to urlC. urlA, urlB, and urlB - or their corresponding variables - might be empty.

Right now LSWS seems to only be passing the first variable and not the 2, 3, and 4 variables.

in our lab, test result is like

/directory/abc/def/ghi ==> index.php?func=abc&urlA=def&urlB=ghi

is that your desired result?

Almost:

/directory/abc/def/ghi/ ==> index.php?func=abc&urlA=def&urlB=ghi

Note the last trailing slash after ghi. If it could work both ways that would be great, but, we're just trying to get it to work the one way to start as it does on Apache.
