Somebody help me I think you've misunderstood how mod_rewrite works. It does not make links look in another way once they're output but it rewrites the URLs which are requested. I.e. if the user enters http://localhost/urlrewriting/productinfo/proid/12/ into the address bar it would have worked as had he typed http://localhost/urlrewriting/productinfo.php?proid=12. And even custome error page is not working as well i have code in same htaccess file ErrorDocument 404 /err/404.php i have folder "err" and the page as well it didnt worked...anybody tell me how to make these work? How exactly doesn't it work? If you go to a page which you know doesn't exist you should get the /err/404.php page instead. Doesn't that work?

Daniel0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It's because IE sucks. There is the Microsoft way and then there is the standard way. IE will not show custom error pages unless they are over 512 kB in size.
