RE: [cobalt-users] Mod_Rewrite Problems

["Simon Hamilton [4sol]" <Simon.Hamilton@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey I finally got it working.

Below is what I had to do to get Mod_Rewrite working, and an example of
Mod_Rewrite converting .html files and path to typical PHP URL -
index.php?cid=category&id+page.

Hope this helps someone, and thank you for the help every one who did!!


Access.conf (added to the bottom)
---------------------
<Directory /home/sites/site45/web>
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
---------------------


.htaccess
---------------------
AuthName "[PRIVATE]"
AuthType Basic
AuthPAM_Enabled off
AuthUserFile "/home/sites/site45/web/ht/.htpasswd"
<LIMIT GET POST>
Require valid-user
</LIMIT>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/css/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ht/

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.html$  index.php?cid=$1&id=$1
[L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)\.html$ index.php?cid=$1&id=$2
[L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)\.html$
index.php?cid=$2&id=$3                          [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)\.html$
index.php?cid=$3&id=$4              [L]
RewriteRule
^([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)/([a-z0-9]*)\.html$
index.php?cid=$4&id=$5  [L]
