.htaccess URL rewrite

Hi,

I'm migrating a couple of sites to unitedhosting and can't quite figure out how to tweak .htaccess so that it works. I've searched the forum, but apart from this couldn't really find anything related

(currently the DNS is not yet pointing at the domain, hence the rough URL. The important parts here are obviously the bits after the last two slashes)

http://banshee.xssl.net/~admin244/wa...nham_to_putney

should resolve to /var/www/html/show_walk.php?...

In my .htaccess file I've got the following

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^walks/(.*)/(.*) show_walk.php?id=$1&name=$2

which doesn't work.

I've also tried

RewriteRule ^walks/(.*)/(.*) /var/www/html/show_walk.php?id=$1&name=$2

with the same result.

I'm a bit stumped - does anyone know the solution?

What you've got is correct, it just won't work via the preview URL.

I've just double-checked it on one of my sites and the following is fine.

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^walks/(.*)/(.*) /show_walk.php?id=$1&name=$2
