Mod-rewrite help?

Hi,

I have a site with the following pages (already done with mod-rewrite):

www.site.com/home
www.site.com/search
www.site.com/about

I also want to allow a user to have their profile at, for example:

www.site.com/username

from www.site.com/profile.php?user=x

How can I do this with mod-rewrite,

thanks.

 

How can i set a condition which checks if the url is NOT the root URl.

I tried this and It doesnt work:
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^http://www.site.com/ [nc]

Suggestions?

Thanks!

 

To see if the URL is not on the root domain you have to do it without the http:// so that condition would be:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.site\.com$

Code (markup):

You can redirect the user names by adding:

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ /profile.php?user=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

After the other rules.

 

Ok it's not working, here is my code:

RewriteCond $1 !^home
RewriteCond $1 !^about
RewriteCond $1 !^signup
RewriteCond $1 !^contact
RewriteCond $1 !^signin
RewriteCond $1 !^index2\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.site\.me$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ profile.php?user=$1 [L]



When I add the last condition, www.site.me/FOO , shows a 404 not found, instead of the contents of the profile.php file. Any help very much appreciated,

Jake.

 

I believe the problem is that the condition is www.site.me AND anything which is following this. However I only want it to limit it to the root domain, when the URI is www.site.me

thanks
