Help! mod_rewrite error with Mozilla!

Post by lecram »

Hello,

I was recently working with mod_rewrite on a website I need to launch tomorrow...

The problem is, I am new to mod_rewrite and I have done something horribly wrong... In my testing, I somehow managed to make all images not display on Mozilla browsers (possibly others... images display in IE/Opera)

How do I fix this! I have tried erasing my htaccess file, etc. but nothing seems to fix this problem. It came at the absolute worst time!

I did get mod_rewrite working as I planned, however I did not expect this to happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

the images not working doesn't sound like a mod rewrite problem... generally speaking
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

Generally speaking, yes. However, in this case, it is somehow related to mod_rewrite.

The website has been displaying perfectly. A few hours ago, I began several final touches before I launched. These final touches were all related to mod_rewrite. I did an update, refreshed, and all of the sudden the images stopped displaying. After looking through my .htaccess file, I found nothing that would have caused this. I decided to clear my cookies, close the browser, etc. to see if it was on my end. To my dismay, it still did not work. I then decided to re-install Firefox, hoping that may fix the problem. Once again, it did not work. I decided to contact my web host. The support tech that helped me out looked at my site using Firefox and it displayed perfectly for him... however, I still cannot get the images to display in Firefox. Like I said, they work in IE and Opera. This issue has something to do with mod_rewrite, I just cannot figure it out. I have a bad feeling I may have to reset the server configuration unless someone knows a solution.

I thought it may have been a refresh issue... being that some browsers do not refresh as fast as others, but it has been hours now and it still does not work...

After testing on several other systems... the problem appears to be only on my end... The sick thing is, it is only related to this site. I am not sure what the issue is... maybe it has to do with the Firefox configuration?! I don't know. At least it is only on my end...

If you're running the webdev toolbar or ad-block, check to make sure they're not the culprits (accidently hitting shortcut key)

Better Yet... start firefox in safe mode (not windows safe mode ;))
