    Hi all

    I moved my site to godaddy and the old .htaccess is not working. It gives me 
    
Not Found
The requested URL /about-us/ was not found on this server.
    Code (markup):
    This is from .htaccess

    Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) /blog.php/$1
RewriteRule ^about-us/(.*) /about-us.php/$1
    Code (markup):
    The code is working well on my old hosting. What changes I need to make to work on godaddy as well

    i have contacted but they told me that the code for the links is referencing a folder ("About Us") that does not exist - i think they don't know about friendly urls

    I've had this issue on their shared hosting. For some reason there's a delay before a new .htaccess file takes effect.

    I suggest you also try adding a RewriteBase to see if that fixes it:

    RewriteBase /
