I'm currently working on a domain, but having problems with the .htaccess file. I tested it on another domain and it worked fine. Upon using it on the "live" server though, I am experiencing problems. One may be due to developing it online in a folder named "beta", but we will have to see. the domain (for example) is http://www.domain.com/beta/ This is my htaccess that I put in that folder: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html$ /index.php?page_name=$1&page_id=$2 RewriteRule news/(.*).html$ /news.php?news_id=$1 RewriteRule jobs/(.*).html$ /vacancies.php?job_id=$1 <Files ".ht*"> deny from all </Files> Code (markup): ive also tried (for example): Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*)-(.*).html$ /beta/index.php?page_name=$1&page_id=$2 RewriteRule news/(.*).html$ /beta/news.php?news_id=$1 RewriteRule jobs/(.*).html$ /beta/vacancies.php?job_id=$1 <Files ".ht*"> deny from all </Files> Code (markup): ..and other things (like putting the htcaccess file in http://www.domain.com/). Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
