Mod Rewrite question

[ssruprai]

I have created a directory to save all my web development projects say( c:\projects) and specified it as apache document root. I store all my projects under this directory e.g c:\project1, c:\project2.

I am using this in my .htaccess for a specific project.

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /project1/
RewriteRule (.*)/category/(.*) products/view_products.php?cid=$2

It correctly redirects when I access a url like this:

http://localhost/project1/category/45

to

http://localhost/project1/products/view_products.php?cid=45

But it only works when I store this .htaccess in the c:\projects folder. But if I move it to the folder c:\projects\project1 this .htaccess doesn't work.

What I want is that it should work from within the project1 directory (c:\projects\project1\.htaccess) as each project has to have its own separate directory.

I am using apache 2 but may be web host will be using apache 1.3x. So I want it to work for both versions.

Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hi

No idea. Turn on mod_rewrite's own logging at a high level then see the log file after some requests. This is where I would start.
