I'm having problems with what should be a simple URL rewrite.

This is what i have so far

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^contact/findadealer/([^/]*)\.html$ contact/findadealer.php?disID=$1 [L]

I want to show a friendly URL for:

/contact/findadealer.php?disID=37

e.g.

/contact/findadealer/37.html

I've tried different combinations in my htaccess file but none seem to work i just keep getting a 404 error.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

This code should work for what you want to do.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^contact/findadealer/([0-9]+)\.html$ contact/findadealer.php?disID=$1 [L]

Let me know!

you can easily generated your .htaccess at http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/ Try it..

Hi jonroy,

I tried what you suggested and i still get the 404 error page. I'm thinking that the mod_rewrite isn't working on the 1and1 hosting.

Thanks

Wayne.

I have not had much luck with 1 & 1, there could be some ground to that in lieu of what you're trying to do here.
