Check that .htaccess directives are allowed to override apache's httpd.conf settings. Specifically, look up the directive "AllowOverride" as pertains to your document root directory and set it to "All". Restart apache and try again.

Thanks Steve,

The module is setup ok as i have a rule the forces www.mydomain.com instead of mydomain.com and it works fine but for some reason the rule you gave me does not work.

Hi skunks,

i have been struggling on how to create a rewrite rule for this link on the htaccess file on my root folder anyone out there has a clue? Ive been to many online rewrite rule sir\tes where i feed this link and the resultant rule is simply not picked up by the mod_rewirite apache module.

 

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?category=mycategory&mykey=mykey
