Mod_rewrite

[Guest footballkid4]

I would have posted it on ApacheFreaks but this is more active.

Anyways, I have my .htaccess like this:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^/files/(.*).php$ /index.php?fuseaction=$1

Is there somethign in there that would prevent it from working? This is my first time EVER installing or working with Apache, I have 2.0.55 installed. I heard ou had to uncomment the loadmodule line for Mod_rewrite so I did that, but there was also somethigna bout AddModule? Not sure about that...

Try backslashing the dot of your .php extension.

Still nothing. It seems like it's something wrong with my Apache config

Try Removing the '/' at the start

RewriteRule ^files/

When using the RewriteRule in a .htaccess the directory you're in is stripped(terminology may be off).

 

ie if this was a .htaccess file inside the "files" directory for a request like http://host/files/file.html you would use ^file.html$ and not ^files/file.html$

 

Also check your logs and turn the Rewrite Log Level higher

RewriteLogLevel 7
RewriteLog path/to/rewrite_log_file

I have it fixed now.

Thanks
