Hi I need some help regarding rewrite rule. for example http://example.com/kailash/test should redirect to http://example.com/test?name=kailash I have written this rule for redirection RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ http://example.com/$2?name=$1 This works fine but if the url is http://example.com/kailash then it should go to http://example.com/test?name=kailash. for this i wrote another rule which does not work All the requests not matching the above pattern i had written to goto test i even tried changing the pattern condition to simple one like !^/kailash etc but the pattern doesn not seem to match RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/test?name=$1 let me know what i might be doing wrong Thanks, Kailash Spainhomes.org http://www.spainhomes.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
