apache, perl, rewriting rules

create .htaccess file in Your wordpress flolder with following content

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\?(.+) post_id/$1

But please fix Your example, it's unclear what exactly You want.

okay example

from

http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/?p150

to

http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/150/if-your-scanner-software-is-not-online-please-buy-a-new-scanner

where p150 = pid
and
if-your-scanner-software-is-not-online-please-buy-a-new-scanner = postname

thanks

What is pid and postname?

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

pid is %post_id%

postname is  %postname%

thanks

So You rather want the url
http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/150/if-your-scanner-software-is-not-online-please-buy-a-new-scanner
to be rewritten to
http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/?pid=150&postname=if-your-scanner-software-is-not-online-please-buy-a-new-scanner
Right?

#wordpress/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
 RewriteRule ([^/]+)/([^/]+) script_handler.pl?pid=$1%postname=$2 [L]

no,

in general it means

http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/150/if-your-scanner-software-is-not-online-please-buy-a-new-scanner
to be rewritten to
http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/?pid=150

if another post

http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/149/buy-dish-network
to be rewritten to
http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/?pid=149

this concerns wordpress way of doing things, I'm figuring out how do the host do the rewrite.

Rewrite is different from redirection.

Rewrite actually  means if I display

http://192.168.123.237/wordpress/149/buy-dish-network

then it will be

displaying content from http://192.168.123.237/?p=149

thanks
