Apologies in advance, cos I know this isn't a price tapestry issue but I hope you can help...
I've added a simple blog into a new price tapestry install that I'm working on.
So I've got blog.php in the site root and if I go to www.mydomain.com/blog.php I can see all blog posts.
If I go to www.mydomain.com/blog.php?article=example_article_title I can see a single blog post. This all works fine.
I've tried adding stuff to htaccess to get nice looking URLs but I can't get it to work. For example, I thought this simple rule should at least show www.mydomian.com/blog/ but it doesn't seem to work:
RewriteRule ^blog/$ blog.php
All your rules work fine. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
John
Hi David
Thanks for the reply.
There are no errors. I just get www.mydomain.com/blog.php in the browser bar
Cheers

Hi John,
That indicates that it is doing a redirection rather than a rewrite. Can you post your entire .htaccess as the behavior of RewriteRule's depends on other entries in the file...
Cheers,
David.
Ok here goes:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^product/(.*).html$ products.php?q=$1&rewrite=1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^blog/$ blog.php
RewriteRule ^review/(.*).html$ reviews.php?q=$1&rewrite=1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^merchant/$ merchants.php
RewriteRule ^merchant/(.*)/$ search.php?q=merchant:$1:&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^merchant/(.*)/(.*).html$ search.php?q=merchant:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^category/$ categories.php
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/$ search.php?q=category:$1:&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/(.*).html$ search.php?q=category:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^brand/$ brands.php
RewriteRule ^brand/(.*)/$ search.php?q=brand:$1:&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^brand/(.*)/(.*).html$ search.php?q=brand:$1:&page=$2&rewrite=1%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
ErrorDocument 404 /not_found.php
AddHandler php4-script .phpHi John,
I think I can see the problem....
You haven't specified "Last Rule" (using [L]), so it is being caught by the blanket redirect at the bottom. Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog/$ blog.php [L]That should do the trick!
Cheers,
David.
Hi John,
It looks OK - what actually happens when you go to /blog/ ?
Do you get a 404, exactly as if you went to /foo/ ? Or is it an internal server error?
Cheers,
David.
