Help! Mod_rewrite rewrite rules being ignored

AARRRGH

Hello

I hope someone can help me with this.

I am trying to make the pagination URLs on a site of mine search engine friendly.

An example of the URLs is:

http://empleobcn.es/index.php?&page=2
http://empleobcn.es/index.php?&page=3
http://empleobcn.es/index.php?&page=4
Etc.

I have the following in my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page/([0-9]+)\.php$ index.php?&page=$1 [L]

However, the URLs are not being rewritten.

Am I doing something stupid, for example, do I need to change the URLs to something like http://empleobcn.es/page/2.php in my script, and then use .htaccess to rewrite the URL to what it really should be?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, your URL needs to be changed to match the RULE in your htaccess file

so if your rule is

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page\/([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?&page=$1 [L,NC]

your URL should be

www.websitename.com/page/2.html

Thanks, I had a feeling it was something like that, but didn't want to go changing scripts until I had some confirmation.

Cheers!
