    Hi i have been reading about mod rewrite 301 and URL redirecting, from some of the threads and links that was posted here. I have some questions that hopefully you guys can answer and help me with.

    1. first i check if the mod_write is installed with apache and is on.
    2. then i just add the codes/scripts in my .htaccess file and upload it together with my pages. (scripts written are from web tools mod_rewrite)

    for example:

    http://url.com/page.php?a=23&b=72

    to

    http://url.com/page/a/b/

    Is this all the things involved with this or am i missing a step? also will i be changing my links in my PHP pages or it should automatically redirect the pages to the optimized URL while still able to read the variables passed in the URLs?

    Thanks in advance masters!! im sorry if this wasted your time, hope someone helps me with this i really need it badly. :)
