Hi

I am getting a redirection loop error while trying to redirect to a different location and then internally rewrite. Please note that I am using httpd.ini and not htaccess.

Here is an example of current site:
http://www.example.com/directory/filename.aspx

I want to remove the 'directory' folder so that it works like this:
http://www.example.com/filename.aspx

For that, I have used below rules -

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com/directory$
RewriteRule ^/directory/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [I,RP,L]

and then an internal redirect to it's corresponding pages -

RewriteRule /filename(.*) /directory/filename$1 [I,L]

If I remove any of the above rules, it works fine but if I run both I get a redirect loop error.

What is it that I am missing? Can you please suggest?

Thanks in advance!
Hetal

If you are using ISAPI_Rewrite v2, the config should be as follows:

RewriteCond Host: www.example.com
RewriteRule /directory/(.*) http\://www.example.com/$1 [I,RP]

RewriteRule /filename(.*) /directory/filename$1 [I,L]

Thanks, but I still get the same error. Also it would be great if you can provide me as how to enable logging and debugging in httpd.ini. I tried using below lines, but presumably the syntax would be different.

RewriteLogLevel 9
LogLevel debug

I tried out many other ways for redirection and rewriting, but ends up in the same redirection loop error. Can you please suggest where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Please try to replace the RP flag with R.

Also please tell whether you have any other rules in the config except those above?

Unfortunately, there's no logging in v2. The directives you tried to use are for v3.
