So I have been messing with mod_rewrite to do some URL rewriting on my site. Here is my htaccess file:
Options +MultiViews
Options +FollowSymLinks
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.trevordavis\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://trevordavis.net/$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+).htm$ index.php?fa=$1 [L]
I have my site redirecting properly from http://www.trevordavis.net to http://trevordavis.net.
The other thing I am trying to do is rewrite URLs like this http://trevordavis.net/index.php?fa=sitemap so that they can be accessed from http://trevordavis.net/sitemap/. Right now, I can only get it to go to http://trevordavis.net/sitemap.htm as you can see in the last line of my htaccess.
Now I tried thisRewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/$ index.php?fa=$1 [L], but it would not work, and I got a 404 page. I don't really understand why it is not working. I don't know if it something I am doing or something that my host is preventing. Any insight would be awesome. Thanks in advance. -

The only method I ever need:Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?fa=$1 [L,QSA] -
hmm i got a 404 error.

then index.php isn't being found. Perhaps is not at the same level as your .htaccess file? -
hmm, no its at the same level, both are at the root.

You can try something like that
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /index.php?fa=$1 [L]
Cheers, DS -
Hmm that didnt work either. Got a 404 page again. Could this be a setting on the server that I need my host to change?
BUt it doesnt maker sense that I could rewrite http://trevordavis.net/index.php?fa=sitemap to this http://trevordavis.net/sitemap.htm but not this http://trevordavis.net/sitemap/
Anyone have any ideas? -
i'm not sure why you'd want to check for '/' at the end--what i do on my sites are grab everything, then at the code level i strip off and leading/trailing slashes.
for my personal site, i have some really simple rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^88/resource(.*)$ /assets-old$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /etomite/index.php?--page--=$1 [L,QSA]
basically what PettyRider posted. which work fine for me. /about and /about/ both get resolved to the right content, which is fine since they're all virtual pages. and notice that for the first rule (^88/resource(.*)$), i don't need to worry about checking for a / because if it's there, it gets appened to /assets-old. so /88/resource/somefile.gif becomes /assets-old/somefile.gif.
i don't see why there would be a server issue since rewriting works (in certain cases at least). try removing the domain forwarding first and see if that helps. if it does, then maybe you'll need to work on an alternative solution to forwarding (i.e., use a [L], otherwise rewrite keeps executing.).
