Okay, so I have this code that will rewrite my URL exactly how it want it to (sitename/profile/username).

Now let’s say I want to access only (sitename/profile/). What rule do I have to write in order for that to work and not give me an error?

I am new to mod rewrite so I am sorry if this question seem stupid to some of you.

RewriteRule ^profile/$ ./index.php?page=profile [L,NC]

The dollar at the end matches the end of the URL. In this case, there cannot be anything else after profile/
