hi,
i'm trying to push the performance of my SS 3.1.beta instance a bit further and implemented the FileSystemPublisher.
On my local MAMP system everything works fine, but it seems that the "check and redirect to cache" rules aren't catching the requests.

I'm not very familiar with htaccess-stuff but is it possible that my hoster disabled some of the required variables. My regular mod_rewrite rules are working like a charm.

any ideas?

  # Cached content - live webserver 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^GET$ 
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.*[^/])/?$ 
  RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/cache/%1.html -f 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
  RewriteRule .* /cache/%1.html [L]

I did a couple of tests and found a strange behavior with the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable.
On my local environment %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} and _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] are pointing to the same directory but they differ on the live server and therefore the check that checks the existence of the cache file will always fail.

%{DOCUMENT_ROOT} = /opt/RZapache/htdocs
_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]	/home/…/http/…/htdocs

Any Ideas how I can use the RewriteConditions without the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable?
