This is driving me insane and after two virtually sleepless nights peering at my screen, I have to accept personal defeat and request assistance.
I migrated our data from a flat form database to a relational database at the weekend, however we have mailed out many links to individual properties in the past which we would like the recipients to still be able to follow.
I have kept the primary ids and references the same in order to enable the rewrite, but just keep getting Internal Server 500 errors for all attempts at writing the RewriteRule.
The syntax of the old links were as follows
http://webserver/detail.php?prop_id=HR1273
http://webserver/detail.php?listing_id=33243
These need to be redirected to
http://webserver/?p=detail&ref=HR1273
http://webserver/?p=detail&id=33243
I would be very appreciative of assistance in resolving this, as management are getting pissed off at my inability to deliver a solution.
