i've created a vhconf file with 1517 lines 1470 of them are RawriteRules the rest are whitespace or other necessary xml configuration on line 1517 my redirect gets cut off after the first four charecters of what i am trying to redirect to, for instance: RewriteRule ^/[^/]+/16637085/?(.*) http://www.cnn.com the redirect does not work, and the error log shows this: => Result URI: 'http' where as for all the the other working rewrite rules it says => Result URI: 'http://www.cnn.com/' i changed the http://www.cnn.com to just "blahhhhh" and the error log showed the result uri as "blah" so its just cutting off the redirection target after 4 charecters anymore rawrite rules i write after this line are completely ignored, and the logs dont even show me trying to hit them when i put them in my browser. is there a maximum charecter limit in the vhconf file, or a maximum line limit, or something like that? i was using standard but upgraded to enterprise demo to see if that would help and i have the same issue there. can anyone help? i'm baffled.
