mod_rewrite

Do shared servers have mod_rewrite enabled?

And how do you enable it on your domain... I know its something with an .htaccess file...

hmm nevermind I think...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

To rewrite non www to www... I think thats what I was looking for...

For people like me .... who is also a hostgator customer, working hard to find answers, and then have to read posts like this, that really say nothing, and lead to dead links ... not purging multiple posts like this is a disservice.

At first I thought he wanted to know whether mod rewrite is enabled on shared accounts?!

[whatshakin]

i copied above texts to .htaccess file on my site in hostgator server.

I want to make a pretty url like twitter/facebook username.

http://www.atlost.com/a

but failed.

the original url is:

http://www.atlost.com/index.php?user=a

atlost.com is an addon domain under gitalovers.com (my primary hosted site on HG).
I place the .htaccess under /atlost.com directory, under gitalovers.com's /public_html

this's my index.php:

PHP Code:

<?
$user=$_REQUEST['user'];

if($user=="a")
{
    echo "hahaha";
}
?>

[gitalovers]

evrything is okay while i was changing to:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?user=$1

thanx

Not quite possible to accomplish what you want with the example in this post.

Look here for a bit more detail and explanation.

All plans other than dedicated servers are shared plans.
