mod_rewrite issues

Question

I have used the mod_rewrite module but was not able to redirect to the target page - I am getting an error:

The requested URL /old.html was not found on this server.

Rewrite rules as follows:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/IN/index.html$ /IN/index.iface [L]

Answer 1

You need to request a URL with a path that’s matched by the pattern of your RewriteRule directive. So in your case obviously /IN/index.html (where the . can actually be any character, as it’s not escaped).
