rewrite rule not working

[jainmanis Profile]

Hi,

I just installed ISAPI_Rewrite 3.0, and have written following rules

RewriteRule /products /products.asp [I]
RewriteRule /products_details /products_details.asp [I]


When i try to go to products_details.asp page, I am redirected to products.asp page.

Can someone please help me to fix this?

Thanks,
Manish

Hello,

You need to specify the beginning and the end of the pattern:

^ - is the beginning
$ - is the end.

Right now you have the first rule working for every request that has "/product" (and can be followed by any other characters). So the second rule never works.

Try using:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^/products$ /products.asp [I]
RewriteRule ^/products_details$ /products_details.asp [I]

Thank you Andrew very much. I figured out this going through the docs and examples on the helicon site.
Now my rules are working.


Thanks,

Hi



I have a file in my website is called cleaningrugtoronto.html I would like to refer it as cleans.

My hosting company is based on IIS. They told me IIS doesn't work with .htaccess.

I created a httpd.conf file with following rules

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/cleans$ /cleaningrugtoronto.html

When I type www.persianrugservices.ca/cleans I get the message the page cannot be found

Any help?

Thanks
