The easiest way to debug is normally to add the [R] flag so that the URL actually get's redirected so you can see in the browser what address it's actually looking at.

 

RewritRule ^seepagenumber-(.*)-2.html$ 2.php?v=$1 [R]

 

You may be having problems if your using Chrome (or potentially other browsers) with caching, I've generally found Firefox the best browser to avoid caching issues.

http://localhost/a/seepagenumber-2-2.html

NOT FOUND ERROR

 

 

Options +FollowSymlinks # for security but be enable

RewriteEngine on

RewritRule ^seepagenumber-(.*)-2.html$ 2.php?v=$1 [R]

 

 

 

2.php

<a href="seepagenumber-2-2.html">redirect</a>

You spelt RewriteRule wrong.

then plz guide me how i split.

Oddly enough it's spelt how I spelt it. The word Rewrite is spelt how you spelt it in RewriteEngine, i.e. it ends with an e.
