but at both places it did not work,i checked Apache error log but nothing there. actually i an new to this thing.. any idea please??

Answer 1

You need to name your file .htaccess (two c's) and put it in the root folder of your website to perform the rewrite you require.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Home/ home.php [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^Home home.php [L,NC,QSA]
