Simple Apache .htaccess RewriteRule

I basically want each request to

http://localhost/~lucamatteis/datadict/AccessionMainName

to actually call开发者_StackOverflow中文版

http://localhost/~lucamatteis/datadict/index.php/AccessionMainName

Here's my current .htaccess physically located under ~lucamatteis/datadict/

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /~lucamatteis/datadict/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

But unfortunately this doesn't work. I've tried everything. At this point I think the issue is that It's using the tilde, or I'm not sure.

In the phpinfo() under the loaded modules section mod_rewrite is loaded. I'm not sure where else to look as I might need to load an extra thing for mod_rewrite to work.

Any ideas?

First of all make sure that you're able to override Apache configuration trough .htaccess file ( AllowOwerride config directive).

Then try to remove RewriteBase directive totally. In this case the current directory will be used as base.

Change you ReWriteBase to your physical directory:

/home/lucamatteis/public_html/datadict  (or something similar)

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteBase

I think the problem is that you want to do an internal redirection to a file that does not exists:

/home/lucamatteis/public_html/datadict/index.php/AccessionMainName

This will only work if index.php is a directory and AccessionMainName is a file.

I don't think such thing can be done. Most of the times, using query string parameters is all you need:

index.php?AccessionMainName

... and you read it from $_GET['AccessionMainName'].
