    Hey all, i really hope that someone out there will be able to help me :).

    I have this site, where i would like to change category.php?category=$1 into /category/$1/

    I've tried this in my .htaccess file:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/category/([0-9A-Za-z]+) category.php?category=$1
    </IfModule>

    Put then when i type in http://mydomain.tld/category/gang/ (ex.), i just get an, "the page could not be found" respons.

    Whats the error ? :s, mod_rewrite should be enabled, since i also run a wordpress blog on this webhosting, and i with out a problem can use the custom links build into wordpress. ex. http://site.tld/2006/09/09/headline/.

    Im looking forward to your answers ;).

    Greetings Christian.

    Your apache error log should show the final url (after mod_write is applied) that is being requested.

    I've made it work by using this code instead
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/?category/([0-9A-Za-z]+)$ category.php?category=$1 [L]
    :).

    But thanks anyway :).
