Answer 1

Not all hosting companies allow you to use the rewrite engine. If your getting an error try to see if it also does with only the RewriteEngine On rule. If it does I'm afraid your not allowed to use it.

As for the rules they look fine to me.

You probably need to include Options +FollowSymLinks at the top of your .htaccess. Otherwise this will need to be configured in your httpd.conf.

This will basically allow you to override configuration values in your .htaccess.

Modify your RewriteRule to look like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^bloco/(.*)(/?)$ /bloco.php?id=$1 [NC,L]

This assumes bloco.php is in your root. If it is not, you will need to specify the path to it:

RewriteRule ^bloco/(.*)(/?)$ /path/to/bloco.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
