Description:
I am trying to get the re-write rules as mentioned in the How to publish Aleph records in Google (Aleph Version 18.01) on page 8 to work. However a config-test on the configuration files gives me:

RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^.*/.*/.*/.*/.*/([a-Z]+)\\.([0-9]+)\\.html$'

There seems to be a error in the documentation that says that the condition and rule should look like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !.*bot.*
RewriteRule ^/.*/.*/.*/.*/.*/([a-Z]+)\.([0-9]+\.html$ \
http://julia.hj.se/F/-?func=find-b&request=$2&find_code=SYS&local_base=$1

Resolution:
[From Daniel Forsman, on ALEPH-NA:]

Ex Libris has confirmed that there was a error in the documentation and that the correct configuration should be (in our case, for you change the server-domain):

RewriteRule ^/.*/.*/.*/.*/.*/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)\.html$
http://julia.hj.se/F/-?func=find-b&request=$2&find_code=SYS&local_base=$1

The documentation will be updated with the correct configuration.
