I've got what I think is a simple mod_write question. If a request
comes in as /news/12345 I'd like it translated internally as
/news.php?id=12345

Here's what I've got:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule /news/(.*) /news.php?id=$1 [R,NE]

But it is not working. The error log shows:

File does not exist: /path/to/my/documentroot/news


Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Sean

Try to change this to:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/news/([0-9]+)$ /news.php?id=$1
