Subject: [users@httpd]  [httpd 2.2.3][conf] regular expression problem in
 <LocateMatch>

Dear All,

I need <LocateMatch "<my expression here>" to match an url of the 
following form:

/faq/index.php?faq_name=Staff&category=0

To do that I tried with the following expressions:

"/faq/.*faq_name.*"
"/faq/.*?faq_name.*"
"/faq/*faq_name*"

Non of them seem to work. And I've tried dozens of other little hacks.
Basically I need a non-greedy match of anything before a particular word.

What am I doing wrong? What's the best source for the allowed syntax in 
httpd.conf?

Thanks in advance

Thorsten, Dezide
