Mod Rewrite - Proven Way?

[sdjl]

Is there a proven way for using Mod Rewrite with the current server configurations here at Dathorn?

I've tried using the following code:

# Create internal redirects for portfolio
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/portfolio/(.*)\.php /portfolio.php?news_id=$1
RewriteRule ^/cv/(.*)\.php /cv.php?cv_id=$1
RewriteRule ^/contact/(.*)\.php /contact.php?news_id=$1

As you could probably guess though, this give me an error. I get returned to me a nice 404 error, which is unusual considering the documents are all in place.

Does anyone use a similar Rewrite code sample that actually works with the Dathorn server setup?
I'm on cPanel 20 is that's of any use.

Thanks,

So the above mod_rewrite rules may not work here on Dathorn, but the following should:

# Create internal redirects for portfolio
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^portfolio/(.*)\.php /portfolio.php?news_id=$1
RewriteRule ^cv/(.*)\.php /cv.php?cv_id=$1
RewriteRule ^contact/(.*)\.php /contact.php?news_id=$1

However, if you request: url.com/portfolio you get a 404
Requesting: url.com/portfolio/ doesn't give you a 404

That's easy.

RewriteRule ^portfolio[b]/[/b](.*)\.php /portfolio.php?news_id=$1

can be converted to:

RewriteRule ^portfolio(.*)\.php /portfolio.php?news_id=$1

That will make it so you don't need the ending slash.

You'd think that would work, but unfortunately it doesn't.
If i use your example, going to either url.com/portfolio or url.com/portfolio i get a 404.
If i then got to url.com/portfolio/1.php i get an internal server error.

This mod_rewrite stuff is good fun :-D

Wonder if it works?
