Problems with mod_rewrite

[gee]

Hi

I'm working on the simple website that must have seo-freindly links.
I have never used mod_rewrite since today so I really need some help to make it work.

This is the content of my htaccess file. It works only partially.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ product.php?product=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^misc/contact$ contact.php [L]
RewriteRule ^misc/about$ about.php [L]


When I enter the address: mysite.com/printer everything is OK, I got what I want - page shows printer.
But when I enter mysite.com/misc/about I got "about" page with missing graphics and every link on the page is changed and contains "misc" prefix now.
They looks as follows:

mysite.com/misc/contact.php (should be mysite.com/contact)
mysite.com/misc/about.php (should be mysite.com/about)
mysite.com/misc/index.php (should be just mysite.com)
etc.

All php files are in the same directory.

What did I wrong? Can anyone help me?

Looks like prob is in the urls in your about page, not in the .htaccess rules.

They probably go to "contact.php" instead of "/contact.php" for example.

Actually my first post describes things a bit different than they were in reality. It's because I was writing from memory, not looking into scripts. It would be misleading for future readers, that have similar problem and look for solution. I can't edit that post anymore, so I post edited fragments here:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ product.php?product=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^misc/contact$ contact.php [L]
RewriteRule ^misc/about$ about.php [L]
RewriteRule ^something/link$ link.php [L]
RewriteRule ^somethingelse/link$ anotherlink.php [L]
etc.

It looks as follows:

mysite.com/misc/something/link (should be mysite.com/something/link)
mysite.com/misc/somethingelse/link (should be mysite.com/somethingelse/link)

Anyway, the problem was - as you said - missing slashes in every link in my PHP files.
I added slashes (also to the graphics folder and CSS file) and now everything seems to work fine.

Thanks a lot @carob
