(hope i posted in the right section)

Hello

In my webfolder on my server in the .htaccess file i have the following

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /([0-9]+) /index.php

and when i try to go to http://mypage.com/22 for example, it saying that the link is broken. why wont index.php be shown when i write a number after the / as in the example ?

Hi,

You don't need the leading slash "/" in the URI:

Code:

RewriteRule ([0-9]+) /index.php

Regards

thank you, however i ran into another problem.

now going to http://mypage.com/22 gives me what i wants, however any number in my url do this now, if i where to go to http://mypage.com/subfolder/5.php it would point me back to the index.php in the rewrite rule, how can i make it not do that for subfolders and files in subfolders etc?

The rewrite rule is like so:

Code:

RewriteRule (\/[0-9]+) /index.php

The best way of going about it is probably editing the <Directory /> tag located in your httpd.conf

Code:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (\/[0-9]+) /index.php
</Directory>

If you don't know where your httpd.conf is located then search by:

Code:

find . -type f | grep httpd.conf

When i added that to my .httacces file i get "this link is broken" if i go to http://mypage.com/22 but if i remove the / from index.php it works again however i cant use /22 anymore ofcourse.

You have to add a RewriteCond:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/[0-9]
RewriteRule ([0-9]+) /index.php

I said it's gotta go in httpd.conf in the <Directory /> tag. I didn't test it in .htaccess.

Maybe bathory's solution will work for you.

The Rewrite stuff can go either in httpd.conf or in a .htaccess. I prefer the .htaccess method because there is no need to restart apache
