Hi, recently bought a vps for my sites and apparently the mod_rewrite does not work on it. Anyone that can help me out with this problem? I have no clue what the problem is Any help appriciated!
it may be possible to use php to do the rewriting rather than rely on apache. your vps host should be able to insert a simple rewrite all to the index.php page and then redirect from there to your content pages. did i understand you correctly when you said 'vps'? (virtual private server)
Do this test. domain.com/.htaccess Options +Indexes Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^wacko\.html$ index.XXX [L] domain.com/wacko.html should show the index page if it work. (Change XXX to the extention of the real index page.)
