Hi Eric,Changing to .+ seems to work fine. I have only one issue left. The issue is a server error when only one argument is passed. Here is what I have that works when more than one argument is passed:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4&action=$5 [L] RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3&item=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2&mode=$3 [L] RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]I thought that, by creating one last rule at the bottom of my list, mod_rewrite would catch all instances of when only one argument is passed:
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php?section=$1 [L]Adding this final rule breaks everything, resulting in ye olde 'endless loop' error for all requests.
I found the following rule as a solution at http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=3925 but I still get the same problem, though the documentation I found said it should work:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?section=$1 [L] Any ideas? Thank you, Kris

Try making the previous expressions non greedy, and maybe use + instead of * -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
