hi,

i have read dozens of previous questions and answers but for some
reason i cannot find a solution to this simple question..

i want to use the rewrite engine to convert addresses like
http://www.domain.com/?subpage to http://www.domain.com/subpage . my
..htaccess file looks like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)/$ index.php?$1 [L]

i get a nice 404 when i try to access http://www.domain.com/subpage

any help is much appreciated.

regards
cat.

In per-dir context (i.e. .htaccess files), the pattern of the
RewriteRule (left side) does not start with a leading slash:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /index.php?$1 [L]
