Forum Moderators: phranque
I'm trying to create an additional Rewrite Rule appart from those created by default by my application (in this case, Wordpress). The extra line (within '.htaccess') is:
-------
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,L]
-------
However, I want users see 'http://myblog.com/faq' and not 'http://myblog.com/index.php?page_id=379'. This line works with other Apache configurations, but not with mine. Any suggestion?
.htaccess
---------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
DirectoryIndex index.php
# MY OWN REWRITE RULES
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,L]
# Rewrite www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) [%1...] [R,L]
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

The [R] says that you want a Redirect. If you want an Internal Rewrite, then lose the R and keep the [L].
.
Your www to non-www redirect, specified by [R], is a 302 redirect. You'll need to change [R] to [R=301] to get this to work properly.
.
Currently your FAQ page responds for both www and for non-www requests. You might want to place your non-www to www request BEFORE your internal FAQ rewrite.
