RussellReal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 well, your rewrite should work with no problems, and you're not getting a 500 error (which is a way to tell if your htaccess is messed up), so have you restarted your server after you changed your apache configuration files?

deansaddigh Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 thanks for the help, i restarted my apache server, i am using easy php which came with apache if that makes any difference. the link code im using is this <div id="toplinks"> <a href="../index.php">Home - </a> <a href="../userlogin.php">Login - </a> <a href="../Register.php">Register</a> </div> I dont know if that makes a difference. also i had to manual go into the C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\apache\conf file to enable the mod rewrite function. i dont know what else i should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm not sure how much I could help you, but I can point you in the right direction, there is a forum (right here on phpfreaks.com) its called Apache Installation or whatever, they're all more experienced with modding a server than I am, I simply use them Sorry I wasn't much help, wish you the best!

popcornplya Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 It should work, it's most likely your server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebadbad Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You realize that your pattern says .htm, right? Not .html as you said you tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You might also want to use the QSA flag to "transfer" the query string as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 So something like this: RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html?$ $1.php [NC,QSA] That'll rewrite both .htm and .html to .php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chmpdog Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 change the flags and it should work [L, QSA] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
