Mod Rewrite for html file

[n000bie]

Can I use mod rewrite for html files also ?

 

i got a page named

http://www.mysite.com/page_consulting.html

 

i want to rename it to

 

http://www.mysite.com/consulting

 

Is it possible ?

Of course its possible. mod_rewrite rewrites urls based on patterns.

Hi,

 

Please try the following steps,

[*]Please make the anchor link like this "<a  href="http://www.mysite.com/consulting "> Any Name  </a>"

[*]We can have the .htaccess file please put the following coding inside the .htaccess file

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [NC,OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [NC]

RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^consulting+$ index.php?consulting=$0

I get a error it says 500 internal server error and this message

Internal Server Error

 

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

 

Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

 

I renamed all files extension to .php but there is only header and footer includes. Is this the reason for the error .

 

I am confused.
