i want add my owm rewriterule but is not working rule have to rewrite page/([az,AZ]+).html$ to pages?page_name=$1

Answer 1

Here is the rule to do what you ask for:

RewriteRule ^page/([a-z,A-Z]+).html$ pages?page_name=$1 [NC]

Placing this after RewriteRule. /index.php [L] RewriteRule. /index.php [L] should do it.

Answer 2

it began to work only after:

1. adding [NC,L] in the end of my RewriteRule

2. using absolute path http://site.ru/pages?page_name=$1

Answer 3
