.htaccess and url rewriting on your servers

    Hi

    I am currently developing a site that makes use of a .htaccess file and mod_rewrite for url rewriting and I have a few questions about deploying this site and getting url rewriting working on your servers. I am using the basic linux hosting package.

    My dev platform is as follows:
    --Apache 2 on Mac OSX Leopard with mod_rewrite setup to work. PHP 5 and Mysql.
    --My webroot for this site is /var/www/htdocs/<site_name>/. This is where I have the .htaccess file.

    I have various different rewrite rules in this .htaccess file which all work on my local dev machine. There is no RewriteBase set.

    I transferred the above site to your servers and now I get 404 errors anytime I try to access any URL.

    Is there anything special I need to be doing to get this working ? I can email you my .htaccess file if you want and give you the name of the site.

    Thanks

    Sorry for the delay in replying to you.

    In theory a .htaccess should just work, but if you have hardcoded paths it may not, as we don't use "htdocs" etc.,

    I'd recommend you email support@blacknight.com with the output of the .htaccess and the domain name and they will be able to help you out

    regards
