rewrite_mod

[metamorph]

Hello,
May be somebody here can help my problem
I have a lot php generated pages. The URL looks like this:
http://www.myhosting.com/directory/i...Arts/Business/
And using rewrite_mod I want to make it like this:
http://www.myhosting.com/directory/Arts/Business/
Or if I have this URL:
http://www.myhosting.com/directory/i...et/Web_design/
it changes to:
http://www.myhosting.com/directory/C...et/Web_design/
basically it must change properties of index.php to directories...or something like that
I hope you get the idea and can help my problem I need syntax of rewrite rule to achieve this thanks

Ok, this is a fairly complicated and very very 'open source' part of Apache. I say this, because open source software can often be over-complicated yet very fast and powerful and that is exactly what has happened to mod_rewrite.

I've never actually use this before, so I won't try and help you from expereience...instead...
Here is the official documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_rewrite.html

And they also have an URL rewriting guide:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

But most useful of all may well be this tool:
http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mod...enerator.shtml
which lets you input an original url and the url you want and it provides you with a rewrite rule :wink:

I hope this helps!

Thank you, but I've already tried all of that. Apache docs do not have a specific rule and generated code is not working properly...
