I'm having problems with the following while config. on my Apache server to Rewrite some urlsURLs.

SetEnv PATH_TO_DIR /directory

RewriteRule ^%{PATH_TO_DIR}/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)/?$ /index.php?dir=$1&file=$2

ErrorDocument 404 %{PATH_TO_DIR}/index.php?dir=null&file=error

This conf.config used to work perfectly fine until I used SetEnv PATH...SetEnv PATH etc. I need to use this because there are lots of rules, not just those mentioned above.

Can anyone point out my mistake?

Apache returns

%{PATH_TO_DIR}/index.php?dir=null&file=error

when I try anything (www.site.com/foo/barwww.site.com/foo/bar for instance).

Apache returns the ErrorDocument if iI just try to fetch the index.

I know it's not a problem with the rewrite rules because they work when I remove the PATH_TO_DIR variable and just hard code it.

Thanks!
