RewriteRule ^blogs/([^/]*)$ manage_blogs.php?p=view&burl=$1 [L]

I have the following rewrite rule working perfectly on localhost(wamp), but when I upload it to the server the url is not changed at all, and I get a 404 error that says blog/testblog was not found on the server, while I expect it to atleast say something like manage_blogs.php was not found on the server.

Any ideas on what I might be missing and how I should debug this?

Keep in mind though, I don’t have access to the php folder (httpd.conf) on the server…..

    Is mod_rewrite active on your server?
    If not, try this in command line (works with Debian and Ubuntu):

    ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/rewrite.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/rewrite.load
apache2ctl restart
