Mod_Rewrite Folders

Why a 404?

[xcandyman]

Hi All

I created a rule:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+) /index.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L]

but I get a 404

But if I use:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+).html /index.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L]

That works. Why? How do I get the folder version to work?

Thanks

xcandyman,

Try adding a trailing slash to the pattern:

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/ /index.php?year=$1&month=$2 [L]

If you actually have .html pages in that folder, then you'll need to use your original rule as well, or combine them using " (/¦\.html) " to match slash or .html.

As usual, replace the broken vertical pipe "¦" character with the solid one from your keyboard.
