mod_rewrite and Apache2 error.log: non-regex pattern

DanielB

Hi!

I wonder if someone could shed some light on why I get the errors:

`[warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-f' is not supported and will be ignored.`
`[warn] RewriteCond: NoCase option for non-regex pattern '-d' is not supported and will be ignored.`

in Apache2 error.log.

The mod_rewrite is enabled.

I am using the latest Zenphoto nightly build (the comments are now working!). I got the same error with the latest official 1.1.3 release. The theme is stopdesign on a ubuntu server.

The .htaccess file contains the lines:

`RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]`

`RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]`

What do these lines mean and why does Apache2 not recognize them? Do you get the same errors?

Yes. I get this too. Please let me know.

I have an old version of zen photo that is heavily modded, so I'm not updating anytime soon. The stinking hosting company upgraded without telling anyone to apache 2 yesterday and took all the sites on my box down for 2 hours. Then today, I go to my zen photo site and it's 500 server errors. The minor one is the -f and -d.

Somehow or another I figured out the problems with htaccess, which was the ? sign and the back slashes, I removed those and the site is fine now.

Here's mine:

`

# htaccess file for zenphoto

# NOTE: Change the RewriteBase below to the absolute path to your zenphoto directory.

RewriteEngine On

# !!! Change this to the web path (eg: http://www.example.com/photos --> /photos) !!!

RewriteBase /portfolio

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R,L]

RewriteRule ^admin/?$ zen/admin.php [R,L]

The problem is not with the backslashes and question marks. Those are part of the regular expressions for matching files and directories. I have submitted a patch (#386) that fixes this problem. Hopefully it will be applied before the next release.
