Hello,
I am trying to take a url that looks like this: huge-du.bz/testing/articles/index.php?uid=Article
And make it show as this: huge-du.bz/articles/Article
Here is my .htaccess file placed in the articles folder:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^articles/([^/]*)/$ /index.php?uid=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
For some reason it isn’t working and just shows up with the original url. Can anybody help?
Thanks!
If you have this .htaccess in the /articles/ and not in root directory, you need to change your paths in the rewrite rule to relative. Also, I would add conditions to not redirect any file or folder that exists within /articles/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?uid=$1 [L]
Perfect 
do I still need the tages in my .htaccess?
I just tried that code and it did not work. Is it possibly an error with my host’s software?
