.htaccess mod_rewrite无法用于友好网址

Question

I have done several searches and followed tutorials, but I can't seem to get the following to work. I would like to create SEO friendly URL's using .htaccess mod_rewrite. My example will be for displaying a news story. The current url structure is this:

http://www.website.com/news/details/?newsID=40

What I would like to change it to would be this:

http://www.website.com/news/name-of-news-article/

Here is what I currently have for my .htaccess file for the rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^news/([^/]+)/?$ /news/details/?newsID=$1 [L]

With just this in the .htaccess file, nothing happens on the URL, it just stays how it is originally. I know the site can read the .htaccess file.

I'm guessing to get the actual article name in there, I'd have to pass a parameter containing the name, but even in the current example, nothing is happening. Any assistance would be appreciated! Thank you.

Answer 1

Remove leading slash from matching pattern.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/news/details/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^news/([^/]+)/?$ /news/details/?newsID=$1 [L]

Reason: Inside .htaccess leading slash in a URI is not matched.

PS: Though keep in mind that rewritten URI will be /news/details/?newsID=name-of-news-article

EDIT

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+test\.htm[?\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /hello? [R=302,L]
