Well i have this in my .htaccess, Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?user=$1 [L] it works but i get a blank page because of some problem i dont know how to fix it if i take out the .htaccess and i write index.php?view=artist&option=com_profile&name=username it works. basicly what i want to do is that the actual route to a file now is, http://www.soundzet.com/artist/index.php?user=freakadilly i want it to be just http://www.soundzet.com/freakadilly If someone can make a .htacces file that work(i think that it will be fixed just codding the .htacces file) I will pay 8 dollars by paypal because its a small job. i need it done asap.
is your website joomla? did you tried to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess? do you turned on content rewrite?
Is the .htaccess in your main folder or in the artist folder? This: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)$ index.php?user=$1 [L] Should make http://www.soundzet.com/artist/freakadilly if the .htaccess is in the artist folder. If it's in the main folder, then: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ artist/index.php?user=$1 [L] Should make http://www.soundzet.com/freakadilly work.
