Question

I have made a mod_rewrite condition that will just add a parameter to the index.php file. Here it is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(electronic|classical|reggae)$ index.php?genre=$1 

When I do mydomain.com/electronic the rule will recognize an attempt to load the index file, but it returns with a 404 that says

The requested URL /media/sde1/home/www/[mydomain].com/public_html/index.php was not found on this server.

The funny part about that error is the file path listed above points directly to the root index file on my server.

Anybody know why this is happening?

Answer 1

Try adding:

RewriteBase /

After RewriteEngine On.
