[users@httpd] mod_rewrite issue

["Thomas" <thomas.hochstetter@xxxxxxx>]

            Hi,

 

 

 

I have my site setup like this:

index.php?object=object&function=function&action="" .

 

I want to be able to have a url like this:

http://mysite.com/object/function/action or morethings.

 

As you can see, I want to map the url directly to my values (.i.e. /object/ to object=$object .)

 

 

 

I have read some documentation on mod_rewrite with .htaccess and come up with this:

 

 

 

[code]

 

RewriteEngine on

 

 

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z])$ /$1/ [R]

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z])/$ index.php?object=$1

 

[/code]

 

 

 

Now, if I go http://mysite.com/signup/ it does not map it but only displays a 404. What am I missing?

 

 

 

My document_root for Apache is not served out of the default folders but from another location. I did not set it up as a virtual location. Does that matter? It does not seem to even consider the .htaccess.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Thomas
