Apache Rewrite does not work as expected

Hi,

I have a site where rewrite does not work as expected.

When accessing the url:

https://secure.website.org/files/download/24/gahik

it does not gets redirected to: https://secure.website.org/files.php?type=download&id=24&unique=gahik

as it should.

Anybody with a good suggestion?

The server er is running:

FreeBSD 8.1
Apache 2.2.17_1
Mysql 5.1.56
PHP 5.2.17

Rewrite module is enabled in httpd.conf.

Thanks.

Regards,
Nikolaj

What is your RewriteBase set to?

the URI starts with / so the files will be /files
Since you explicitly matching beginning of the string the ^files patternt will never match /files URI.
Maybe you should try to remove ^ from the pattern or adding / after ^

Hi a1j,

Thanks for your comment.

I have now the following .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^changelang(/)?$ /changelanguage.php

RewriteRule ^login(/)?$ /login.php

RewriteRule ^logout(/)?$ /logout.php

RewriteRule files(/)?$ /files.php
RewriteRule files/((.*)/(.*)/(.*))? /files.php?type=$2&id=$3&unique=$4
#RewriteRule ^files/(.*)/(.*)/(.*) /files.php?type=$2&id=$3&unique=$4

RewriteRule ^forum(/)?$ /forum.php
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)/([0-9]{1,})(/(.*))?$ /forum.php?type=$1&id=$2&unique=$4

RewriteRule ^settings(/)?$ /settings.php
RewriteRule ^settings/(.*)/(.*)/([0-9]{1,})$ /settings.php?type=$1&cipher=$2&id=$3

RewriteRule ^user(/)?$ /user.php
RewriteRule ^user/(.*)?$ /user.php?type=$1

RewriteRule ^message(/)?$ /message.php
RewriteRule ^message/(.*)/([0-9]{1,})(/(.*))/((.*))?$ /message.php?type=$1&id=$2&unique=$4&fileunique=$6
RewriteRule ^message/(.*)/([0-9]{1,})(/(.*))?$ /message.php?type=$1&id=$2&unique=$4
RewriteRule ^message/(.*)?$ /message.php?type=$1
