This is an SOS lol

Any programmers here use fasthosts or have used fasthosts?

Got a massive problem with my .htaccess file, which has turned into a 6 hour support nightmare, which is still not solved.

I've used them (they suck), but, mod_rewrite is not hosting specific (unless they don't have it switched on), so, post your problem and your htaccess and we'll see

---
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/proid/(.*)/ football-boot-details.php?proid=$1
---

Hope you can help me solve this because im starting to go into a dark place!

One more thing, are you trying to rewrite

http://www.domain.com/football-boot-details.php?proid=1234567 to http://www.domain.com/proid/1234567/

If so, then

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule proid/(.*) football-boot-details.php?proid=$1 [L]

will work.

Sorry for the late reply been on holiday.

Ok so that worked kinda (dont worry about the css not working):

www.footballbootsonline.co.uk/proid/6765

When you visit that link your notice 'home' along with the other links are now trying to go to:

www.footballbootsonline.co.uk/proid/index.php

Why is that?

Also this rewrite stuff is new to me, I thought once the rule is setup it would just take you to the actual url but put a friendly url over the top.

By the looks of it im going to have to go back into the code and restructure all links to go to /proid/6765

Cheers

in my experiance fasthost suck, i had a reseller account for a few years. I found their support frustrating and issues were never resulved. I still have the account with them as there is a domain in it which i can't tranfer (the admin pannel is broken) and the support team won't do anything.

the best value company i've fount in my time is heartinternet, they have no phone support though but don't let it put you off as there is a ticketing system which getts the job done a bit better.
