Mod_rewrite problem

[moondog]

Trying to get the basics of mod_rewrite going. . . I'd like to rename any urls in this format:

index.php?a=c

to this:

index-X.html

where X is the value of 'c'.

Here is what I have:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\-(.*)\.html$ index.php?a=$1 [L]


Yet it is not working.. anybody see anything wrong with this?

I dont think you can do that, it has to be after the file name. of course i could be wrong.

You could make it like

index.html/c/or just www.mysite.com/c/

Try it without commenting out the - and .

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index-(.*).html$ index.php?a=$1 [L]

Also if you want the value of c to be case insensitive add ,NC after the L

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index-(.*).html$ index.php?a=$1 [L,NC]
