I have this problem: The administrator of the server says that he had rewrite_module enabled for the apache server but when I upload some test files to the server to test this functionality it does not work.
I have it enabled at localhost and it works perfectly fine there.
.htaccess content:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^games/(.*)$ games.php?id=$1 [L]
games.php content:
<?php
$var = $_GET['id'];
echo $var;
?>
URLS:
localhost url:http://localhost/testing/games/123123
production url:http://mysite.com/test2/games/123123
test2 is the folder that contains the files (.htaccess and games.php) What happens in production is that when i type this i get the page games.php but the id does not get echoed and query string is empty instead of getting the id 123123 which I provided.For localhost everything works fine and I get the id echoed. Maybe the administrator is wrong or what? Thank you in advance.
