Problem with rewrite

[solaz]

Hi,

Please help before I go crazy

I can get either:
http://propertysteps.ie/properties/Ireland
or
http://propertysteps.ie/properties/Ireland/Dublin

to redirect correctly, but as soon as I try to put both lines into the htaccess the line that previously worked in isolation won't work.


I have done similar countless times before, and have spent a lot of time making sure I'm not being stupid, but it seems like something else is wrong here.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^properties/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ search.php?country=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^properties/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$ search.php?country=$1&county=$2 [L]

Can anyone see what the problem is?

What happens? A 404 error?
Where are you putting the mod_rewrite?
Where is search.php?
Do you have any other mod_rewrite?
Do you have a file called properties.something?

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^properties/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$                 /search.php?country=$1           [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^properties/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([-a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /search.php?country=$1&county=$2 [QSA,L]
