I really can't get this to work, although I'm learning a heck of a lot about mod_rewrite in the process
this is where i'm at right now....
This line i THINK is meant to keep the listed files from being rewritten, basically rewriting them to themselves, and if effective, stop doing anything. This line does NOT work in .htaccess, but I do have a line that does work..
RewriteRule ^/(pics/.*|css/.*|robots.txt|favicon.ico|apple-touch-icon.png)$ /$1 [L]
this line is supposed to (i think) rewrite anytime someone tries to go to the nonexistant directories /account/, /admin/, or /tips/, load the .php file. this one actually works in .htaccess IIRC
RewriteRule ^/(account|admin|tips)/.*$ /$1.php [L]
This one, I have no clue what it's supposed to do, because it doesn't seem complete to me, and it just gives me w/ a 500 error... and anything else i've tried, will redirect me to forums.php, but the page doesn't recieve any info about the script i'm trying to request (such as create.phtml, which is declared within a page in a separate directory, that forums.php includes.
RewriteRule ^/.* /forums.php [L]
any ideas?
Linear Mode
