htaccess mod rewrite not working

Question

My server has an SSL setup on it and it has a site on there viewable in the browser via an IP.

I have an .htaccess file on the root with the following in it:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^single/([^/]*)$ single.php?url=$1 [L]

When I view the site URL:

https://100.100.100.100/single/test

I get a 404 not found. I have tried the actual URL:

https://100.100.100.100/single.php?url=test

And that works exactly as it should? Please note that isn't the actual IP

It works perfectly on a shared host. I have checked the server config and the Apache Mod rewrite is enabled.

You need the Query String Appended flag.

Try:

RewriteRule ^single/([^/]+) http://yourdomain.com/single.php?url=$1 [QSA]
