SE friendly URLs with Apache troubles

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 29.2009

Hello

I’m trying to follow a tutorial i found on SEOmoz ([url]http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/using-mod-rewrite-to-convert-dynamic-urls-to-seo-friendly-urls[/url])

However i’m having trouble getting anything server by my webserver other than “404 page not found.”

in my .htaccess file which is in my site root dir is as follows:

[CODE]RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)/$ bikespec.php?category=$1&product=$2[/CODE]

I’ve placed the file “bikespec.php” into the root of my site also,

I’m trying the url: [url]www.site.com/bikes/testbike[/url]
(replacing site.com with my actual site.)

But like i said above, all i get is 404’s Can anyone help?

@BFTrickOct 28.2009 — Hi there,

I see this post is a little bit late, hopefully it can still help you.

I am not an expert with .htaccess but here is a snippet of some of my htaccess code:
[CODE]RewriteRule ^service-center/appointment/([0-9]+)/$ /service-center/appointment.php?CouponID=$1[/CODE]

try using the ^ character instead of the / in the first part of the rewrite rule. Good luck.

Success!
