Hi all I have a single server hosting multiple sites one been static and two been dynamic database driven. How do I use mod rewrite so that the static site is not affected and the other two site are independently affected by the mod rewrite. I have googled and seen the option of htaccess but i am not sure how or if it is the right way. The main reasons I wish to do this is for SEO and tidyness. I am using Debian Linux - Apache server(2.0.54). Example http://www.mysite.com/thisfile.php?thisitem=amount&thisitem2=result2 would be better for both the user and more importantly SE if it read http://www.mysite.com/thisfile/thisfile Both dynamic sites obviously have different Urls and both have different database arguments. Is there a way to use mod rewrite on both without affecting the other sites? Also can I test this on my loacal server which is XP running apache? TIA Regards Mick
