htaccess question [simple, urgent]

Hi there.

I'm trying to redirect all

http://www.mydomain.com/whatever-here
to
http://www.mydomain.com/writeup.php?title=whatever-here

I taught it should be very simple as follows, but didn't work:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /writeup.php?title=$1 

Code (markup):

what do you think?

 

this should work

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ writeup.php?title=$1 

Code (markup):

 

Why would you put a trailing slash at your rewrite rule ?
I guess this would work :

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ writeup.php?title=$1

 

None worked.

 

are u sure the script is coded properly?

 

Tracing back from apache logs, I found out that httpd.conf doesn't support ReWriteModule, so I fixed it and worked properly. For the ones who may live the same problem in the future, I write this here.

Thanks both of you.
