Short URLs

[The Little Guy]

I am having a hard time getting this to work:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/(.*) process/urlgo.php?url=$1 [nc]

 

I want the person to be able to type in:

http://mysite.com/value

 

and it does:

http://mysite.com/process/urlgo.php?url=value

 

When I do that, all I get is "Oops! This link appears to be broken." in Google Chrome (HTTP 404).

You don't need the forward slash at the start of the RewriteRule, but you probably do at the start of the redirected address.

This works:

 

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+) urlgo.php?url=$1

Same difference, RewriteBase simply appends to the start of the rewrite address .
