Mod Rewrite help...

Ok, I've searched and read and searched and read but I can't get this to work.

I'm trying to rewrite

http://www.domain.com/index.php?REQ=[COLOR="black"]KEYWORD[/COLOR]

Code (markup):

to

http://www.domain.com/REQ/[COLOR="Black"]KEYWORD[/COLOR]

Code (markup):

My .htaccess looks like this:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^REQ/(.*)/$ index.php?REQ=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

What am I doing wrong???

 

I have no idea but what I want to do is also a problem for me:

http://domain.com to redirect to http://www.domain.com/folder/500.cgi

but I also want this:

http://www.domain.com to redirect to http://www.domain.com/folder/500.cgi

Anyone know how to do this in .htaccess?

You aren't rewriting you're just redirecting...

redirect 301 /index.html http://www.domain.com/folder/500.cgi

Code (markup):

Change to 302 if the redirect is just temporary...also make sure you have a blank index.html file in the root directory.

 

ahhhhh...that's much better....a big thank you!

 

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^REQ/([^.]+)$ index.php?REQ=$1 [L]

 

Still isn't working...forgot to mention its running on a subdomain I don't know if that changes anything.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wacko\.html$ index.php [L]

if xxx.domain.com/wacko.html doesn't show the index page, mess with the first line. If taking that out doesn't make it work, ask your web host.
