How the hell do you get mod_rewrite to work? it's just not happening for me.

I tried this:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9][0-9])/$  /blog.php?article_id=$1

I'm trying to change the URL http://www.theloop.org.uk/blog/blog.php?article_id=30 to http://www.theloop.org.uk/blog/30/ but it's just not happening.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? BTW the .htaccess file is in the /blog/ directory
