Thread: Apache2 RewriteRule help

if post belongs in programming boards, so, , i'll move it.

here's i'm trying accomplish:

user browses server http://myserver.tld/p/pagename , url gets passed through rewriterule in .htaccess file become http://myserver.tld/index.php?p=pagemname on backend. seems simple enough, can't seem make work. keep getting 404's.

here's .htaccess file:

code:

options +followsymlinks  rewriteengine on    rewriterule ^p/([^/]+) /index.php?p=$1 [nc]

i used extent of google fu arrive @ point, , way understand rewriterule work this:

urls have (after tld): /p/anythingexceptaslashatanylength , translate ?p=thecontentmatchingtheregexpattern

isn't working. can explain i'm doing wrong, , more importantly, why it's wrong?

1 thing find interesting if run:

code:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

i get:

code:

module rewrite enabled

but if run:

code:

sudo apache2ctl -l

i get:

code:

compiled in modules:    core.c    mod_log_config.c    mod_logio.c    prefork.c    http_core.c    mod_so.c

and mod_rewrite in list. remains true if restart apache. ideas, anybody?

check apache's error log see file it's trying read 404s.

edit: mod_rewrite doesn't appear in compiled in modules either, , it's working fine.
