[users@httpd] mod_rewrite issue

[Thomas <th...@gmx.net>]

            Hi,

 

 

 

I have my site setup like this:

index.php?object=object&function=function&action=action&morethings .

 

I want to be able to have a url like this:

http://mysite.com/object/function/action or morethings.

 

As you can see, I want to map the url directly to my values (.i.e. /object/
to object=$object .)

 

 

 

I have read some documentation on mod_rewrite with .htaccess and come up
with this:

 

 

 

[code]

 

RewriteEngine on

 

 

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z])$ /$1/ [R]

 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z])/$ index.php?object=$1 

 

[/code]

 

 

 

Now, if I go http://mysite.com/signup/ it does not map it but only displays
a 404. What am I missing?

 

 

 

My document_root for Apache is not served out of the default folders but
from another location. I did not set it up as a virtual location. Does that
matter? It does not seem to even consider the .htaccess.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Thomas

That you match only one character in the regexp, instead of an arbitrary
number.

What you need is something like
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z]+)/$ /index.php?object=$1
