I'm new to mod_rewrite and I'm trying to write a rule for the following url:

http://www.example.com/kb/index?page=ho ... s_overview

to look like the following:

http://www.example.com/home/homebuyers/overview

Please help?

Regards

What other c= values are there? Do they always have one underscore?
How many values of page= are there?

For /home/homebuyers_overview

Code: Select all: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ ./index?page=$1&c=$2 [QSA,L]

(in /kb/.htaccess).

Thanks for the quick answer. In fact, I was able to put the rule together and it works (see code below).

Code: Select all: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/home/(.+)/(.+)?$ /kb/index?page=home&c=$1_$2 [PT]

However, my stylesheets (.css) and javascripts (.js) don't get applied to the resulting JSP page because the application context changed with the rewritten URL and the application can't no longer find the resource folders. For instance, this is how I call my .css and .js from a template hearder file:

Code: Select all: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Home Page</title> <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" /> . . <link rel="stylesheet" href="<%=Configuration.getStringForKey("appResources")%>/css/global.css" type="text/css" media="screen" charset="utf-8" /> . . src="<%=Configuration.getStringForKey("appResources")%>/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> . . </head>

I hope you understand the problem I'm facing. I already figured a way of fixing this by modifying the config file and appending the host name to the resources path. However, I wonder if there is a way to write a RULE that will do both:

1/ Preserving and applying the original context when processing non-request driven resources such as .css and .js

2/ Applying the rewritten URL for requested JSPs only.
