Your URL does not match the pattern -- The requested URL has two underscores, while the pattern requires three. In addition, it looks like you have mixed hyphnes and underscores in the pattern, and the [I] is not a valid mod_rewrite flag.

Hello when i tried to use the rule on server, but it just change nothing. i have checked the server configuration, and it seems installed the mod_rewrite already. can you help to see what is wrong on the code? any sample code for this rule will appeciate. PS: 1. the second variable page will sometime has sometime don't. 2. i use underscore "_" to separate the different parts due to there are product name may use "-" sometimes. ------------------------------------------------- from [mybusiness.com...] to [mybusiness.com...] -------------------------- RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule /name1_([^-]*)_(.*).html /name1.php\?id=$1&page=$2 [I] ------------------------- many thanks webon

should be [L] -------------------------- RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule /name1_([^-]*)_(.*).html /name1.php\?id=$1&page=$2 [L] ------------------------- otherwise, the [i] will cause the server error.

Again, you have a "-" in your pattern, where a "_" is needed. See the Regular Expressions tutorial [webmasterworld.com] for more information on creating correct RewriteRule patterns. Rewrite example.com/name1_product-name_2.html to example.com/foldname/name1.php?id=product-name&page=2
RewriteRule ^name1_([^_]+)_([^.]+)\.html$ /foldname/name1.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L]

again from [mydomain.com...] to [mydomain.com...] RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^product_([^_]+)_([^.]+)\.html$ /foldname/product.php?Type=$1&page=$2 [L] i have upload the .htaccess file on my unix server, file is under html fold, and everything also under html fold. When i browser the page and try the links on page, it doesn't change at all. 1. the unix server for sure installed the mod_rewrite and i don't think some wrong with the code. 2. is there still anything i missing here? many thanks. webon

> When i browser the page and try the links on page, it doesn't change at all. Are you expecting the address in the browser address bar to change? That is not what this rule does. This rule tells the server to pass requests for the product_typename_1.html URL in your browser address bar to the product.php script, with the variables in the proper order. Do you have *any* other working rewriterules? If not, you may want to try something simple first, rather than trying this somewhat 'advanced' rewrite to a script. Do you have a simple 'index.html' page or something like it? If so, try a rule like this:
RewriteEngine on Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteRule ^silly\.html$ /index.html [L]
Now use your browser to request the page "silly.html", a page which does not exist on your server. The rewriterule should tell your server to return the contents of your "index.html" page. Jim

Hmmm... Try adding
Options +FollowSymLinks
to the rewrite code you posted in message number 6 above. Then test by accessing http://www.mydomain.com/product_typename_1.html Jim
