Haven't tried this at home; my parents won't let me: RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /index.php?object=$1&function=$2&action=$3 Put it into your httpd.conf. Does it work for you? -ascs ________________________________ From: Thomas [mailto:thomas.hochstetter@xxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 4:06 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [users@httpd] mod_rewrite issue <![endif]--><![endif]--> Hi, I have my site setup like this: index.php?object=object&function=function&action=action&morethings . I want to be able to have a url like this: http://mysite.com/object/function/action or morethings. As you can see, I want to map the url directly to my values (.i.e. /object/ to object=$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.
