HELP with RewriteRule

Hi, My page is not loading, buy.php

What is wrong with this code? Thanks!

 

What?????????????????

What you trying to do?

 

Post a little more info, like what URL you are testing, what path your .htaccess is under and path to buy.php

 

www.3b4.org

.htaccess is on root of the site so is buy.php

 

You still haven't said what URL you are testing with that fails. What are you trying to rewrite?

 

I'm assuming buy.php?word=wordhere to buy/wordhere

 

domain.com/buy/hello would work with his current rewrite, but since he says it's not working he must be trying something else or his server doesn't allow rewriting.

 

Thanks for the reply guys.

When I goto my homepage And in the box type any word then when I press SUBMIT.

The page does not come up.

 

mrmonster is right, your current rewrite is missing the FollowSymLinks option.

So here is the working one:

Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^buy/(.*)$ buy.php?word=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

 

ok, I copied the above code in .htaccess file and uploaded and still not working.

 

are you adding a / after the last word? buy/something/ ?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^buy/(.[^/]+?)/?$ buy.php?word=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

 

Check if your server has rewrite enabled, do a phpinfo() and search for mod_rewrite

It's starting to sound like it's not enabled or you are trying something other than what you are typing out here.

 

Still no luck,,

 

Verify that mod_rewrite is enabled by looking at the output of phpinfo()

 

save this in a file called modcheck.php

<?php
    $a = apache_get_modules();
    echo (in_array("mod_rewrite",$a)) ? "enabled" : "disabled";
?>

PHP:

let us know the output.
