PROGRAMMING

This is a simple rule but its giving me some trouble.

Im trying to redirect a URL like this

sitename.com/events/312.html

to this

sitename.com/showpage.php?p=312

Im using:

RewriteRule ^/events/([^/]*)\.html$ /showpage.php?p=$1 [L]

However it is not working. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This is a Rule without Condition... you need a Redirect, AFAIK

RewriteRule ^/events/(.*)\.html$ /showpage.php?p=$1 [L,R=301]

This might work, I am not really a regex freak (hate it)...

However, I would check your error logs as well

This works fine for me:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^events/(.*)\.html$ showpage.php?p=$1 [L]

  Yea its really strange, Im sure both my original and this new one should have worked, but neither do. This is on a GoDaddy server, so IDK its all screwy, might be GoDaddy.

Funny how different servers have different requirements, isn't it? I've never memorized all the inconsistencies, sometimes it just takes fiddling.

Thank God for Python, right? :p
