basic mod_rewrite question

Question

I am trying to write a rule which says xyz.com/hotels_in_someplace will direct to xyz.com/test.php?place=someplace by using the following in my htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^hotels_in_([a-z]+)$ test.php?place=$1 [L] but its not working and I cant figure out why, I am running a wamp server as a dev. when i tried to run xyz.com/test.php?place=someplace (without the htaccess in the directory) it works but I suspect there's something my rule which is wrong. additional: whoops....my dumb *** mistake, mod_rewrite wasnt enabled...

Answer 1

Try it without the end-line anchor ($) RewriteRule ^/hotels_in_([a-z]+) /test.php?place=$1 [L] Also, did you allow the .htaccess files to be parsed?
