RewriteRule to file in folder?

I made a htaccess file which I use on other website, but this time it doesn't work.

I have;

RewriteRule ^this$ testarea/that.php

But it doesn't find the file, it gives an empty page.

How can I redirect an url to a file in a folder?

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Options +FollowSymLinks  
RewriteEngine on  
RewriteRule ^this$ testarea/that.php

This is all I have in my .htaccess file.

I want my url to look like;

www.mywebsite.ext/this

instead of;

www.mywebsite.ext/testarea/that.php

Thats all I want.

The .htaccess works now, the problem was that I sa开发者_运维百科ved it as a wrong file extension..

But now the images and stylesheets won't work, how can I fix this?

I fixed this problem by adding the <base ... tag..
