For one thing, I don't think the leading slash is needed in the regex. Also, I am not sure that the mod_rewrite regular expression engine supports "\w" you might need to do [A-Za-z]+ or something like that. Check out the docs for mod_rewrite and the cheat sheet here is also useful: http://www.addedbytes.com/download/mod_rewrite-cheat-sheet-v2/png/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
