Hi, I needed help as to how to get rid of %20 in between words in the URL using mod_rewrite... got no replies unfortunately... so I looked around in the web and I found this: RewriteRule ([^\ ]+)\ (.+) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1-$2 [R=301,L] and it indeed places hyphen between the words and removes teh %20 HOWEVER... does not let the page get loaded all the way and redirects you to the main directory and says : "Sorry. The user does not have permission to view this file" What should I do? could someone please get back to me and give me a suggestion? I'm not a programmer. So please simply give me the whole code in mod_rewrite to place if you could. Thank you. Ali
