The htacess code i'm using is

Quote:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^link([^/]*).html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]

Take note my file isn't at the root directory. It is at /ilix.in

Rewrite.php

Quote:

<h2 align=center>
<?
// mod_rewrite Test Page
// Copyright 2006 Webune.com
if($_GET['link']==1){echo"You are not using mod_rewrite";}
elseif($_GET['link']==2){echo"Congratulations!! You are using Apache mod_rewrite";}
else{echo"Linux Apache mod_rewrte Test Tutorial";}
?>

<a href="rewrite.php?link=1">LINK1</a> = rewrite.php?link=1
<a href="link2.html">LINK2</a> = link2.html
How this works: both links are for this same page, except they both are different. link one is without the mod_rewrite and link2 is using mod_rewrite. Link1 show the php file, with with mod_rewrite we are mascarading the php file into a html file. you can use whatever type of extension you want, you can change it to .htm or .shtml etc... all you have to do is to make sure you also chang it in the .htaccess file

Do you have anything else in your .htaccess apart from those lines? Looking at the source of the blank page it's not entirely blank - have you been trying to set up a custom 404 error document?

This would be a simpler way to test whether mod_rewrite is enabled (if it is, every request for your site will be redirected to a Google search):

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.google.com/search?q=$1 [L]

If the mod_rewrite works, it should show something that you should see in this host:

And regarding the google link, what url should i use to test if it works?

Obviously that example is not working for you. The question is whether it's because mod_rewrite is not enabled or because of something wrong in your implementation of it (or perhaps something else in your account). Hence the simple alternative test.

It doesn't matter - with that in your .htaccess

Try using this php code to test:

PHP Code:


			
 <?php 
if (in_array("mod_rewrite", apache_get_modules())) { 
    echo "mod_rewrite loaded"; 
} else { 
    echo "mod_rewrite not loaded"; 
} 
?>

Ignore the above post. That doesn't work.

Try test using a 301 redirect:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yahoo.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If mod_rewrite is install, your site get redirect to yahoo.com

The question is not really whether mod_rewrite is enable or not. If it dun work(from the test)... i'm asking for advice

www.zwlimitx.com doesn't resolve to an ip..

I assume the .htaccess file just contain that redirect code ,right?
