Drongo_III Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hi Guys I hardly ever touch mod rewrite so I am stuck on something very simple. I am using a htaccess file and mod rewrite so that if someone targets a particular url (which is acutally a directory) they will be served a specific file in the directory but the new url will have a query string defining where they came from. So can anyone tell me why this doesn't work please? RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /tester http://localhost/HTACCESS/tester/tester.php?source=google As i said, the goal is if someone hits up my site on the directory '/tester' I want them to be servered a specific file in that directory - i.e. tester.php with a query string. What am i doing wrong? Oh and incidentally when i say it 'doesn't work' specifically I am just getting the directory listing for the 'tester' directory.

carbide20 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Try: Options +FollowSymlinks Just before RewriteEngine On. +FollowSymLinks must be enabled for any rules to work, this is a security requirement of the rewrite engine. Normally it's enabled in the root and you shouldn't have to add it, but it doesn't hurt to do so.
