changes to .htaccess are not showing up in the web site

[Peter]

I installed the program without any problems. I can add code to the .htaccess file to redirect to http://www.mysite.com and it works but when I add a section to include another page it does not change the .php extension to .html. I even tried to change the contact_us url and that did not work either. This is what I added to the .htaccess file

Code: Select all

#about_us.php - about_us
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^currency=([a-zA-Z]{3})&osCsid=([a-z0-9]*) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^currency=([a-zA-Z]{3}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^osCsid=([a-z0-9]*) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^
RewriteRule ^about-us.html$ about_us.php [L,QSA]

The permissions for .htaccess are 644 so they are not being written over, the code is not there. I have been using notepad to edit the .htaccess file.

NOTE: on line 2 in the code above that is a ampersand sign before osCsid, it is just showing up differently here.

Rewrite Rules in .htaccess file only handle executed URIs. Manually added link must be replaced directly in HTML source to reflect changes also on the page.
