Given the following setting I would like to do a mod_rewrite which I can not get to work:
I have a domain e.g. "example.org" pointing to a directory in a shared hosting environment e.g. example/
with the following file structure:
example/
index.php
.htaccess
Now a URL like example.org/test
should be rewritten to example.org/index.php?p=test
. What I came up with is the following:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
Unfortunately opening e.g. example.org/test
in Firefox results in the following error:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
- This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
It works though, if I prefix the matching part like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^prefix/([a-z]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
Then I can open e.g. example.org/prefix/test
and am served with index.php?p=test
although additional resources like CSS and JavaScript are not correctly referenced.
Who can help?
