Question

I’ve been looking to the answer to this question for a few days and can’t seem to find it. I have a website, http://www.trportfolio.net, and on that, I am hosting an upload website http://www.trportfolio.net/upload/

I have purchased the domain http://www.truploader.com for that directory, and now I’m having trouble with a mod_rewrite. I need to rewrite this: http://www.truploader.com/view_upload.php?id=347343
to http://www.truploader.com/view/347343/

Please keep in mind that the actual path for both of these is http://www.trportfolio.net/upload/view_upload.php?id=347343. I believe it is because of this curveball that I’m having so much trouble figuring it out. I know I need a RewriteBase and a RewriteCond or two, but any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Try putting this in an appropriate place in your document root’s .htaccess file:

# won't need to turn on if it's already turned on in your htaccess
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^view/([0-9]+)/?$ /upload/view_upload.php?id=$1  [L]
