Chemo's Ultimate URL's

[mauryg]

The (.*) denotes which characters are allowed - here it is anything.

2 things to check - firstly check your error logs, as these may tell you the URL of the page you were trying to access, and so shed some light on whether apache is actually rewritting the URLs for you.

Secondly, have you ever had the SEO URL mod working on this server? You may need to check if you have mod_rewrite enabled.

thanks for the quick reply.
I checked the error logs for Apache and PHP and NO errors.
I checked the httpd.conf file for the apache server:
(NOTE: Remember, this is a localhost server on my desktop system)

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

<Directory "E:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

UserDir "e:/wamp/Apache2/users/"

DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.html.var

AccessFileName .htaccess

<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

There are other .htaccess files in the subdirectories so I haven't checked whether one of them is overriding the one in the root. Any particular ones I should check?
Even more interesting, why did it work on the GoDaddy server? I noted that GoDaddy has Global Registers ON and my WAMP system has it OFF. I turned Global Registers ON for the WAMP but no difference.
The number appended to the URL is related to the product attribute selected
