current setup:
- I have this URL (www.my-host.com/people/first.last). this displays profile for the company staff.
- first.last is a a suffix
- When visiting this URL, this creates a cached file inside this path => /mnt/var/html/www/content/main/en/people.dir.html/first.last
- These are the rules used to make this happen.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/people(.html)?/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/content/main/en/people/(.*)$
RewriteRule /people(.html)?/(.*)$ /content/main/en/people.dir.html/$2 [PT,L]
new setup:
- I have to replicate the technique used above for a new dynamic page.
- The new page will be using this URL format (www.my-host.com/product2/name/year)
- name and year are both suffixes. Year is optional
- The URL would then fetch the content that's stored in /mnt/var/html/www/content/main/en/product2.dir.html/name.year
- These are my rewrite lines that I'm testing
#FIRST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product1(.html)?/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/content/main/en/product1/(.*)$
RewriteRule /product1(.html)?/(.*)$ /content/main/en/product1.dir.html/$2 [PT,L]
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
#SECOND
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product2(.html)?/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/content/main/en/product2/(.*)$
RewriteRule /product2(.html)?/([^/]*)/?(.*)$ /content/main/en/product2.dir.html/$2$3 [PT,L]
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
test results for #FIRST
- With this rewrite lines, I get the the product1 content on my page but I do not get a file cached like in the current setup.
- This is what I'm seeing in the Apache logs
