Mod_rewrite is not working on my setup. That is, the urls looks nice all that and it seems to work but the tests in gallery fails. I need to force the test to get it enabled.
I installed gallery(gallery2-2.3) in /usr/local/www, while my docroot is in /www/docroot/antarctica.no. I made a small adjustment in my httpd.conf (Alias /gallery "/usr/local/www/gallery2") - so my gallery installation works fine. When i re-test my mod_rewrite module I see this in apache's error log:
<code>
[Sun Oct 25 01:17:23 2009] [error] [client 192.168.0.28] File does not exist: /www/docroot/antarctica.no/usr, referer: http://antarctica.no/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.SiteAdmin&g2_subView=rewrite.SetupRewrite
</code>

I wonder my gallery wants to look for the file in my docroot?

Why? Why didn't you just install Gallery into your docroot or a sub-directory of that?

I'd first try moving gallery under your docroot:

Out of interest, what is your baseUri directive set to in your config.php file (in the Gallery root directory)?

Right now its blank. But I've tried setting it to the full URI to the gallery without any luck.

Hmm. I was going to suggest it should be blank - I think the 2.3 installer defaults to something else (might be wrong there). When you say Gallery 2-2.3, Are you using Gallery 2.2.3 or Gallery 2.3? If the former, I would ditch it and reinstall 2.3 (or upgrade).

I have gallery 2.3 ;-)
Will try a reinstall, thanks for the tip.

hmf, reinstall did not help.

The requested URL /usr/local/www/gallery2/modules/rewrite/data/mod_rewrite/custom/Works.txt was not found on this server.

in apaches error log:
[Sun Oct 25 13:15:43 2009] [error] [client 192.168.0.28] File does not exist: /www/docroot/antarctica.no/usr, referer: http://antarctica.no/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.SiteAdmin&g2_subView=rewrite.SetupRewrite

in my httpd.conf:
<Directory "/usr/local/www/gallery2">
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
Allow from all
</Directory>

tips anyone?

I like to keep my webapps away from my docroot. So I can have a directory for all of my webapps.

Tried that. The tests fail there as well. (but i don't get a 404)

There are some mod_rewrite debug suggestions here:

Other apache logging may help too.

I would definitely concentrate to get it working under the docroot, first, without needing an extra alias - so it becomes "why doesn't the rewrite module work in my bog-standard setup?" rather than "why doesn't rewrite work in my weird, unusual, setup?". Then you can move it.

What bugs me is what apaches error log says:

File does not exist: /www/docroot/antarctica.no/usr
Becaus it's not supposed to exist either.
