    Hi,
    I have been trying with absolutely no success to change some dynamic URL's to static URL's by using mod_rewrite.

    Dont know how this would affect anything but I currently have this in my .htaccess so I can use some SSI's on regular .html pages, for including link tables, common footer etc:

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
    AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
    AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html .htm

    ------------------------------------------------------

    I am trying to change this and other dynamic URL to a static URL mainly for the SE's and getting some hard to index links indexed.


    I want to change this type link:
    *ww.fishingreporters.com/bass-reports/index.php?action=showentries&catid=4

    to something like this:

    *ww.fishingreporters.com/bass-reports/showentries/4.html or how ever it works out.

    I have tried this with nada results.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^/bass-reports/(.*)/(.*).html /bass-reports/index.php?action=$1&catid=$2


    I have tried other ways but I am not experienced with this at all and I am hoping somebody smarter than me can help.

    Thanks Joe

    I use this:

    RewriteRule ^bali-gallerie-(.*).htm bali-gallerie.php?foto=$1

    in my root, works

    Without the "^/bass-reports-etc" slash at the beginning like you have..

    I suppose that if you for every directory where you have "stuff" make a separate .htaccess without this slash it will work.

    Maybe if you put in this:

    Rewrite Base /

    And leave the slash out at the beginning of your rule it works to...

    Another sample:

    RewriteRule ^your-directory/([0-9]+)\-.+ your-directory/pages.php?id=$1

    I am not smarter then you, but trial and error helps a lot.. :)

    I have tried so many different configurations I've lost track. I know none worked so I will keep looking and trying.
    Are there any other server instructions that must be in the .htaccess file other than - RewriteEngine On and RewriteRule ?
    I mean like 'Options +FollowSymLinks' or something. I tried with this and without.

    Thanks For your help too, Joe Dodd

    mod rewrite is associated with performance hit. try changing dynamic urls to static ones through changing the script code.
