mod_rewrite and Globat

[pcklz]

Sorry folks, but I'm resurrecting an old post just in case someone new has a solution....the historyis this -- I tried to get the mod-rewrite to work at Globat and finally ended up at customer support (or customer non-support as the case may be) and received this answer as to why mod_rewrite won't work there:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"We have found that because of the way our hosting platform is configured, mod_rewrite will sometimes have problems when performing redirection to PHP documents. This sounds like you may have run into one of these problems. The reason is that mod_rewrite has already been used at least once just to get to your site, then adding your rules on top of that can cause the PHP script to not be called correctly.
Unfortunately, we have little information on this problem, but it only seems to happen when the end document is a PHP script."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone have a workaround or have the mod_rewrite actually working at Globat?

Try adding
RewriteBase /
to your htaccess file as shown in this post
{topic moved or deleted}
If not, I think you may have to leave Globat to fix this problem.

Yup...saw that and tried it thinking maybe the holy grail had been found...but no go... Gets halfway there..and I halfway suspect the extra underscores may have something to do with it not working....but, don't know enough about this stuff to be certain :

{install url removed}

but doesn't seem to know how to complete the circle....

Would love to ditch Globat..and have for most other websites, but although their customer service stinks and their corporate attitude is even worse...... they don't mind bandwidth hogs...like ye aulde Kat Kouch Kam. May end up moving the directory over to lunarpages
