URL Rewrite help please :)

[jmd87]

Hi,

I have recently moved from Windows Servers to Linux and am trying to get the Pretty URL's and have managed to get it from:

http://mydomain.com/page.php?id=1

To

http://mydomain.com/1

I would like to get it to retrieve the actual name of the page rather than the ID number of the page for example

http://mydomain.com/page.php?id=1

Would be

http://mydomain.com/home

The code I am currently using is below and my sites are hosted on 1&1 if that helps at all:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ page.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

I am new to this and have tried reading up on it but can't seem to get any further and am banging my head against a wall!

Thankyou for anyhelp

Kind Regards
Joe

Are you using a CMS (Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress etc.)?

And in your own CMS, all pages were processed by one page?

Why do you have

Code: Select all

?id=$1

on

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ page.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

?

Was this how it was done using the other server?
