Hi our web host openmind hosting has rewrite V.2.0 installed
and we usually use it on our clientd website for ecommerce website and the rules work perfectly.

However we have now decided to install a demo ecommerce system on our own website and have created a sub directory called: demo-ecommerce

and installed our ecommerce system in it.

The rules are now behavinbg very stragely, sometimes they work and sometimes they dont.

Let me show you the rules we use when the website is installed in the root directory of a hosting account:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

#Images & Css
RewriteRule .*\.(?:css|jpg|png|js|gif) $0 

#product rules

RewriteRule /P(\d+).*\-C(\d+)\.asp /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1&SubCatagoryID=$2 [I,L] 
RewriteRule /P(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /P(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]


#category rules
RewriteRule /d(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*?)/?        /Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,RP,L]
RewriteRule /d(\d+)(.*?)/?        /Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,L]


This works perfectly, now we initially installed the same rules in to the folder /demo-ecommerce
and it didnt work, so we deleted it and installed it in to the root of the website but with the following modifications (with a little help from Phil of Open Mind Hosting):

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

#Images & Css
RewriteRule .*\.(?:css|jpg|png|js|gif) $0 

#product rules

RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/P(\d+).*\-C(\d+)\.asp /demo-ecommerce/productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1&SubCatagoryID=$2 [I,L] 
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/P(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /demo-ecommerce/productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/P(\d+)(.*)\.asp    /demo-ecommerce/productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1 [I,L]


#category rules
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/d(\d+)-pg(\d+)(.*?)/?        /demo-ecommerce/Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,RP,L]
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/d(\d+)(.*?)/?        /demo-ecommerce/Products.asp\?SubCatagoryID=$1 [I,L]

If we now visit the website via the following address the links dont work:
http://www.designsonline.co.uk/demo-ecommerce

however if we follow the links via a product url:
http://www.designsonline.co.uk/demo-ecommerce/P1521-Cartier-Ballon-Bleu-18ct-Pink-Gold-C600.asp

and then follow the links back to the homepage everything seems to work. Why is this?


in fact something else that might help is ive discovered also that if I click a link from the homepage and it doesnt work, then I just select the URL that isnt working and press enter, it then works...??

Please help

ok ive worked out what the problem was.
in case you are having the same or similar problem I will share my resolution here:

This is the offending line:
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/P(\d+).*\-C(\d+)\.asp /demo-ecommerce/productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1&SubCatagoryID=$2 [I,L] 

I noticed that the spacing wasnt exact, so I adjusted it to this:
RewriteRule /demo-ecommerce/P(\d+).*\-C(\d+)\.asp    /demo-ecommerce/productdetails.asp\?ProductID=$1&SubCatagoryID=$2 [I,L] 

and it now works.

Hello,

"If we now visit the website via the following address the links dont work: http://www.designsonline.co.uk/demo-ecommerce"
- do you have any base tag specified on the pages?
- i followed this URL http://www.designsonline.co.uk/demo-ecommerce and all links from the page worked for me. How can I see the issue?
