Did this on my dev machine and it worked great, but on my leopard server deployment machine I added the same entry in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and no dice. The shorter URL's are being output from my app using the Wonder er.extensions.ERXApplication.replaceApplicationPath properties, but I get the "requested URL not found" error when I click on one of them. Nothing in the rewrite.log file. Is there some other property to set in httpd.conf or elsewhere?
Thanks,
Jeff

So, at least this is returning the page ... not let's see if I can make it do without an external redirect so that the short URL stays in the browser address bar .... (since the marketing design spec wants the short URL)

I need some help for what I think should be a pretty simple rewrite rule. I am currently trying to get this to work initially on my development machine, and I keep getting a 404 "Not Found" message from apache (version 2.2.9).
