[users@httpd] Why isn't mod_rewrite working?
Mod_rewrite actually seems less difficult than I at
first imagined. However, I'm doing something wrong, as
it isn't working yet.
These are the steps I've followed:
1. Added this to my httpd conf file:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
2. Verified that my .htaccess file is functioning
3. Pasted this in my .htaccess file:
* * * * *
# You don't need to restart anything after modifying
.htaccess.
# Add /? before first $ in every row if you want
optional trailing slashes.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test\.htm$ test.php [L]
RewriteRule ^stacks/([a-zA-Z]+)/?$
stacks/index.php?taxon=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^kids/stacks/([a-zA-Z]+)/?$
kids/stacks/index.php?taxon=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^topics/([a-zA-Z+]+)/?$
topics/index.php?topic=$1 [L]
# More specific examples...
# RewriteRule ^stacks/(Animalia|Chordata|Mammalia)/?$
stacks/index.php?taxon=$1 [L]
# RewriteRule
^kids/stacks/(Animalia|Chordata|Mammalia)/?$
kids/stacks/index.php?taxon=$1 [L]
# RewriteRule ^topics/(Biomes|Tundra|Tundra\+Mammals)$
topics/index.php?topic=$1 [L]
* * * * *
(I also tried it earlier without the /? for trailing
slashes.)
But it isn't working. My online page at
http://www.geozoo.org/stacks/ (which doesn't have
mod_rewrite yet) works just like my local page. If you
type in www.geozoo.org/stacks, it defaults to
www.geozoo.org/stacks/ Clicking "Aves" on the right
then yields a dynamic link -
http://www.geozoo.org/stacks/index.php?taxon=Aves
Have I missed a step, or is something else wrong?
Thanks.

This you will need to do in your PHP script. mod_rewirte only works on
the request URL.

I just discovered that mod_rewrite IS working. When I
click on my links, I get dynamic URL's. But if I type
http://geozoo/stacks/Animalia directly into the
browser, it works just fine.
So I guess the next step is fixing it so that SEO
friendly links are produced when I click on a link. Is
this something I'd do with mod_rewrite, or do I need
to change my PHP display script somehow?
Thanks.
