I am trying to create static more seo friendly pages for a site that runs on jamit software by using mod rewrite. Here is the demo of the software http://www.jamit.com/jobs/ the job post pages are like this http://www.site .com/index.php?post_id=1 so i tried to make them something like this "index-post_id-1.htm" bu adding the following code in htaccess ... Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule index-post_id-(.*)\.htm$ index.php?post_id=$1 It doesnt seem to change the url at all..no effect. I am quite new to this...so bare with me Do i need to change any code in the files for this particular rule to take effect? Current htaccess looks like this...
