Hey there, I'm running into an apache mod_rewrite configuration issue on one of our machines. Has anyone encountered / overcome anyone of these issues.

• URL1 ( http://www.uppereast.com ) is not being redirected to URL2 ( http://www.nyclocalliving.com ). This definitely worked in my test environment where a localhost address was rewritten to URL2 ( RewriteRule ^http://upe.localhost$ http://www.nyclocalliving.com ).

• I'm trying to get the all of the redirect rules working ( 2200 + ), but the 'http://www.nyclocalliving.com' site encounters a server error if I use more that 1000 or more rules.

A) .htaccess file - I've tried the simplest approach which worked in a local environment

 75 # Various rewrite rules.
 76 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 77   RewriteEngine on
 78 
 79   # BEGIN new URL Mapping rules
 80 #RewriteRule ^http://www.uppereast.com/$ http://www.nyclocalliving.com
 ...
 2307 #RewriteRule ^http://www.uppereast.com/zipcodechange.html$ http://www.nyclocalliving.com/zip-code-change

B) /var/log/httpd/error_log file - there are these seg. fault errors when I enable the first rule ( line 80 ). no error logs otherwise.

C) Some more debug information from the shell; the mod_rewrite is turned on and this is the machine architecture

 1 # apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES | more

 3  core_module (static)

 5  rewrite_module (shared)

I looked into some previous posts (http://serverfault.com/questions/18744/htaccess-not-working-modrewrite), but didn't find a solution for this. I'm sure there's a small switch somewhere that I'm missing.

Thanks in advance Tim
