I've done this a few times, but it's not coming to the top of my head. Can you send me the .htaccess file and I'll take a look?

2-6,

It's hard to tell what the problem is without looking at the current configs. Truthfully your issue that you have of the

"dir changes from <url>photo/multihost/images to <url>/var/www/lcqp/photo/multihost/images/"

seems like it is probably doing what you ask of it. Most likely the fullpath of your images originate from the path of /var/www/lcqp/photo/multihost/images/. For some reason the rewrite rule is appending the full path.

Can you post the directive for the rewrite from htaccess, then maybe we can decipher where the problem lies?

From Apache -

Assume the following per-directory config file:

#
# /abc/def/.htaccess -- per-dir config file for directory /abc/def
# Remember: /abc/def is the physical path of /xyz, i.e., the server
# has a 'Alias /xyz /abc/def' directive e.g.
#

RewriteEngine On

# let the server know that we were reached via /xyz and not
# via the physical path prefix /abc/def
RewriteBase /xyz

# now the rewriting rules
RewriteRule ^oldstuff\.html$ newstuff.html
