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
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?category=$1&mykey=$2 If your module is actually set up okay the rule above should work for your link -- Steve Obbayi Software Developer http://sobbayi.com ----- "jamo njoroge" <patjayke@gmail.com> wrote:

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. On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 7:00 AM, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:

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 again Steve i think i might know where the issue is, correct me if im wrong but i dont think the rewrite rules work on hard coded link do they? i.e static links? On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 9:51 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Here's a copy of the .htaccess file i simply see no reason why it's not working. *Options +FollowSymLinks* * * *RewriteEngine On* *Rewritebase /* *RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?category=$1&searchKey=$2* * * *Options All -Indexes* On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Ndungi Kyalo <ndungi@gmail.com> wrote:

Sorry had to go sleep. Am now awake. It should work on even hard coded links. Check what @Ndungu says about Allowoveride(ing) Apache settings and see it that wakes up the rules Steve Obbayi Software Developer http://sobbayi.com ----- "jamo njoroge" <patjayke@gmail.com> wrote:

Doesnt work? really? working fine on my end, tested with a WIndows Servers and Linux Servers. only thing is if the first parameter has upper case letters it wont work so add A-Z to the.... never mind ok copy paste this patch RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)$ index.php?category=$1&mykey=$2 This will check for lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and the hyphen. if there are any other characters it will fail so you can add others as appropriate Let me know if this helps Steve Obbayi Software Developer http://sobbayi.com ----- "jamo njoroge" <patjayke@gmail.com> wrote:
