Not quite sure about this one,so apologies if it's in the wrong place,

I have developed some scripts that require redirects, and on my development machine this works fine. In a subdirectory of the main site, 'instructors', I have the following .htaccess file;

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php

This works fine on my development machine; http://localhost/instructors

But on the main site, I have to put a / after instructors to get it to work properly, otherwise I get Bad Request. Can anybody help with this?

i know that Apache runs on both Windows and *nix, but it seemed to make sense to put it in here....

anyways - on to your problem...

i think this comes from the fact that you are in a sub-directory...

you could try:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^instructors/(.*)$ instructors/index.php [QSA,L]

thanks for moving that Horus, appreciate it. However, I'm still getting bad request. I can do /instructors/ and /instructors/index.php and they work fine, but /instructors still gives me a bad request.

I've been talking with my hosts, and they gave me;

Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/instructors/(.*)$ index.php

now, it tries to redirect but the objects I need are invalid now, and I get can not access class 'user'..

try:

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^instructors/?$ instructors/index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^instructors/(.*)$ instructors/index.php [QSA,L]
