9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf <p>The <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> module uses a rule-based rewriting
f19fa851b976a05691dea05be46586aa5aadeba2rbowen engine, based on a PCRE regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf the fly. By default, <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> maps a URL to a filesystem
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin path. However, it can also be used to redirect one URL to another URL, or
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin to invoke an internal proxy fetch.</p>
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf <p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> provides a flexible and powerful way to
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf manipulate URLs using an unlimited number of rules. Each rule can have an
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin unlimited number of attached rule conditions, to allow you to rewrite URL

9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf path-info section. A rewrite rule can be invoked in
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf <code>httpd.conf</code> or in <code>.htaccess</code>. The path generated
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf by a rewrite rule can include a query string, or can lead to internal
9a58dc6a2b26ec128b1270cf48810e705f1a90dbsf sub-processing, external request redirection, or internal proxy
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin throughput.</p>

1437d609a6e92c3f32dfdb0d63fce4fd2243fa0frbowen <p>This forces the current configuration to inherit the

0203b896e484dfb877111aceffb812401d0f216and this means that the maps, conditions and rules of the main
0203b896e484dfb877111aceffb812401d0f216and server are inherited. In per-directory context this means
0203b896e484dfb877111aceffb812401d0f216and that conditions and rules of the parent directory's
