虚荣网址，.htaccess问题

Question

Im trying to add vanity url to my web page, but its not working. So far I have tried with

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)[^.]$ index.php?page=$1 [nc]

and

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]

but its not working, and i dont know .htaccess syntax!

All I got is this error:

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Do you know how can I do this? How can I make.htaccess to redirect my url which looks like www.page.com/vanityurl to index.php?page = $1 but page variable must now be "vanityurl".

I tried this on localhost and on my web server but i get the same error!

Thank you! For your answer! :)

Check the error_log to find out what is going on.

It might be that your httpd.conf is not set to allow rewrite rules to be specified in .htaccess

If that is the case then you will see a message in the error log like:

RewriteEngine not allowed here

In order to use rewrite rules in .htaccess the AllowOverride setting needs to either include FileInfo or be set to All eg

AllowOverride FileInfo
