I wrote a new book.

In 2006, I published The Definitive Guide to Apache mod_rewrite with Apress. That book is now nearly 20 years old, and the world of Apache HTTP Server configuration has changed enormously since then — new flags, expression engines, security considerations, and two decades of community questions revealing what actually confuses people.

So I wrote a new one from scratch: mod_rewrite And Friends.

It covers everything from regular expressions through RewriteRule, RewriteCond, RewriteMap, every flag, logging and debugging, proxying, virtual hosts, and access control — plus 40+ real-world recipes distilled from 20 years of users@httpd.apache.org questions. The “And Friends” part covers all the other Apache HTTP Server modules that often do the job better than mod_rewrite: mod_alias, mod_dir, mod_proxy, FallbackResource, expressions, and more.
