RewriteEngine On <-- activates rewrite
RewriteBase /


RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html index.php?view=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.ref index.php?ref=$1 [L]

This is for auroa script

this will make

so pages instead of index.php?view=account or whatever

would be account.html = shorter url & more seo friendly

the .ref means, instead of index.php?ref=name it will be

url/name.ref

again seo friendly and more professional

It's necessary if the script is installed not in the root.

also allows spiders to steal ur content easier.

BTW There is a massive bug in mod_rewrite in current Apache releases: mod_rewrite strips one level of URL encoding between matched strings and output values. If your incoming URL happens to contain URL encoded values, it will thus generate invalid URLs. for example:

Code:

RewriteRule ^something/(.*) something.php?var=$1

If you pass in a URL like

Code:

something/hello%20world

It will be rewritten as:

Code:

something.php?var=hello world

which is not a valid URL.

It happens that this is bearable for many cases (also why it has not been fixed), as URL encoding does not affect many string values, but if you’re doing anything like passing entire URLs as parameters (e.g. for a redirector), this can cause major problems. This problem has nothing to do with the [NE] option, which is concerned with allowing URL encoded values in the rewrite rule itself, not the string it is applied to.
