None of yours here do. For the fourth note, do you want “/a/b/test-c.htm” to be rewritten to “/inc/tesmodrewite.php?q=test\_c” or to “/a/b/inc/tesmodrewite.php?q=test\_c”? (The answer is probably obvious to one who knows the apache syntax well.) You’ll want the leading “/” either explicitly, or as part of a (new) initial (.\*) in the regex and corresponding $1 in the replacement. Good luck with it, ## f Francis D.

Nginx does not support .htaccess files. You need to add the rewrite rules to the server configuration and reload nginx. alex1950 [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) schrieb: rewrite /test-(._).htm$ /inc/tesmodrewite.php?q=test\_$1; rewrite /test2-(._).htm$ /inc/tesmodrewite.php?q=test\_$1; rewrite /pm-(._).(jpg|png|gif|html)$ /index.php?pm=$1; rewrite /pt-(._).(jpg|png|gif|html)$ /index.php?pt=$1; rewrite /dt-(._).(jpg|png|gif)$ /index.php?dt=$1; rewrite /dm-(._).(jpg|png|gif)$ /index.php?dm=$1; rewrite /di-(._).(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp)$ /index.php?di=$1; rewrite /page(._).html$ /gallery.php?p=$1; i added this in my htaccess file but not working ! ☹ \* debug log is your friend ( how can i Create or Access to that ? ) Note : I’m Root Access !
