Are you sure you have both mod_rewrite and .htaccess installed on the new apache then? Things like this is often very silly you know, you look past the problem (I've done that several times)...
RewriteRule "/articles\.php\?id=([0-9]+)$" "/articles/$1" Although, I've never even used mod_rewrite so I'm not the right person to ask... Check the news server news.gmane.org, there you can find most of the Apache lists.. gmane.comp.apache.user for example... Or on any server, try alt.apache.configuration, comp.infosystems.www.servers.**** You'll most likely get alot more help there, since those are pointed towards apache rather than PHP... -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt€hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt€telia.com "Monty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev i meddelandet news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Actually, it's not the reverse that I want to do. > > Right now the pages on my site use this form of URL: > > domain.com/articles.php?id=999 > > Now that I have upgraded my server to Apache 2, I'm going to use the > ForceType and FollowSymLinks options to change the entire site to use this > search-engine-friendly form of URL to access all pages: > > domain.com/articles/999 > > But I don't want the old links to be broken once I change the site to this > new type of URL.
