.htaccess issue

[doctorized]

I am trying to change the url in browser from

www.url.com/index.php?page=contact

to

www.url.com/contact

I ve written the rule:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^contact/?$ /index.php?page=contact [L]

and it is not working. What am I doing wrong?

The rewrite seems to be correct. Maybe a server configuration issue?

let's say you are using PureBasic to send:

Code: Select all

https://www.url.com/contact

(nothing after contact, if you want "contact/joe" then you have to change the directive)
I assume you are sending "https" then your .htaccess line is fine and should turn it into:

Code: Select all

www.url.com/index.php?page=contact

you can test your htaccess directives here:
https://htaccess.madewithlove.com/

If you are using a browser, and see the wrong address at the address bar, it can also happen that the address bar is being remembered so the address will have the php? url. Delete your address history and it will look the way it is supposed to.

send me a private message if you have any questions.

You have a pm.

redirect 301 rules work like a charm but no RewriteRule seems to work. What configuration could be done in plesk? (Plesk is the only tool that I use to access the my profile including files, settings and so on. I am a user, not admin.)
