mod rewrite woes

[ironhamster88]

Hi guys / girls,

 

Ok, I have a slight problem with mod rewrite. My current URLs are as follows:

http://whatever.com/profile/?username=someuser

 

I need it to be:

http://whatever.com/profile/someuser

 

I've not spent much time at all working with mod-rewrite, can anybody help? I've got this so far but all I get is a 404.

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/profile/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /profile/index.php?id=$1 [L]

 

Cheers

Pete
