.htaccess Rewrite mod not working

Question

I'm trying to get my htaccess file to use this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

to rewrite this url:

http://cheesecakebb.org/index.php?action=vn

Answer 1

Try this instead:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?action=$1 [QSA,L]

When someone clicks example.com/index/something , it will redirect (invisibly to the user) to index.php?action=something
