Question

I have this in my .htaccess file…

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/invite$ /invite.html

It’s meant to let a user access this url:

http://mysite.com/invite

and display the invite.html page. I don’t want to redirect the user, but just show them the invite.html page from a better looking URL.

When I browse to http://mysite.com/invite though, I get a 404 not found error.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I’ve tried looking at tutorials for using mod_rewrite but I seem to be doing what they’re telling me too…

Thanks!

I don’t think there should be a / in that RewriteRule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^invite$ invite.html
