Question

Creating simple URL's (.htaccess - mod_rewrite)

Answer 1

+2 A:

Here's some examples.

RewriteEngine on

# www.domain.com/page/example changed to index.php?page=example
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

# www.domain.com/example changed to index.php?v=example
RewriteRule ^example(/)?$ index.php?v=example [L]

The second rule sounds like what you're after.

Thanks, i have something like this:RewriteRule ^features(/)?$ index.php?v=features [L]RewriteRule ^benefits(/)?$ index.php?v=benefits [L]RewriteRule ^faq(/)?$ index.php?v=faq [L]RewriteRule ^pricing(/)?$ index.php?v=pricing [L]RewriteRule ^get-started(/)?$ index.php?v=get-started [L]And if I have a couple of sites on one hosting account, this goes in the root dir?Thank you!

Sorry for the formatting.

Does each site have a separate folder or do they point to the same folder? If they point to separate folders then you'll need a .htaccess for each.

They are in their own folders. I will try that. Thanks

Coughlin 2010-03-25 21:41:33

I have it in its own folder in the directory and when I try going here: http://www.virtualgiftcardsystem.com/features/ - it doesnt load. Any ideas?

Coughlin 2010-03-25 21:42:58

So virtualgiftcardsystem has it's own folder under the root hosting account? You have a .htaccess file in that folder. Silly questions but will ask anyway, you have RewriteEngine on in the .htaccess? Have you check to see that mod_rewrite is installed?

Jonathan 2010-03-25 21:56:32

Correct, its vgc/ within the root directory. I use it for my wordpress installation under the root directory and the rewrite works for WordPress. And again to check, it should be in the vgc/ domain folder. Not the root.

Coughlin 2010-03-25 23:13:32

This is what I have in my file: http://pastie.org/887523

Coughlin 2010-03-25 23:14:22

And that code is to make ?v=page = /page/

Coughlin 2010-03-25 23:21:10

Try adding "RewriteBase /" after the line to turn RewriteEngine on, without the " of course.

Jonathan 2010-03-26 00:22:04

http://www.virtualgiftcardsystem.com/features/ - still a 404. I have this now: http://pastie.org/887612 - thanks for your help!

Coughlin 2010-03-26 00:32:10

Try "RewriteBase /vgc/" - vgc being the name of the sub folder

Jonathan 2010-03-26 01:21:48

Same thing, and I checked to make sure GoDaddy allows mod_rewrite and they do. Not sure why it isnt working! Thank you

Coughlin 2010-03-26 13:48:55
