I want to implement a very simple mod_rewrite from one file to another, just to ensure that mod_rewrites are working (obviously I want a more complex rewrite, but first I need rewriting to work).
I have a main domain, example.com, and a subdomain, test.example.com
example.com has a mod_rewrite that works already, ensuring that it uses https.
However, when I try using mod_rewrite on test.example.com, the rewrite doesn't work and I get a 404 error. (This mod_rewrite works on my local XAMPP server)
Here is the .htaccess file in the subdomain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule mod.php result.php
I use 1and1 as my web host, was on the phone with them for an hour but they concluded that it was an issue with my script (even though it works on my local machine o.O )
Give this a try:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^this-is-a-test/$ /result.php [L]
Keep in mind it must be on the main folder of your sub domain and to see it in action you need to visit:
http://test.domain.dom/this-is-a-test/
It must end with a slash and it should show you the content of result.php also keep in mind that result.php must exist and be on the same folder the .htaccess is.
