[cooldude7]

these both giving me 500 error

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]



RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]

can anybody help. ?

what i wanted to do is

domain.com/anything to go to domain.com/search.php?s=anything

thanks

[cooldude7]

i tried this

RewriteEngine On

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search.php?s=$1 [L]
</IfModule>


but if i access

domain.com/somefile.php

it goes to search.,., wtf

[RonTheDon]

See what this does:

ReWriteRule ^(.*)$ search.php?search.php?s=$1


Notice the removal of '/' from the beginning of search.php

If anything, ping me on ICQ and I'll try and help further.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) search.php?s=$1

Either of those lines alone will give you a 500 error.
You definitely need either:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

or:

RewriteCond !search.php

Without either, /Ray redirects to search.php?Ray
search.php?Ray redirects to search.php?search.php
search.php?search.php redirects again to search.php?search.php
round and round in a circle

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) search.php?s=$1

is mine.

okie.,

bad idea.

roger that., i left it as it is.,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

gives lots of errors.

RewriteCond !search.php

gives 500

thanks for your time.,

is this a wp site?

maybe this will interest you, i did this for someone a while back, they wanted

domain.com/search/search-term.html

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)\.html$ /index.php?s=$1 [QSA,L]

not sure if this will help you
