    It's been almost 3 days now and I'm finally there!

    The following mod_rewrite rules I've got are as following

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule /(.*)$ singlearticle.php?articleid=$1 [L,R]
</IfModule>
    Code (markup):
    I've got this in the directory /articles/ as the home directory already has a rewrite for another directory which is confusing this rewrite.

    Everything is rewriting properly except for the fact that when it rewrites it loses the value of articleid. Any ideas why this would happen?

    I don't think you need the leading / on the RewriteRule pattern
    try 
    RewriteRule (.*)$ singlearticle.php?articleid=$1 [L,R]
    Code (markup):
    think that should do it
