Is rewrite_mod working on free hosting

[jeromeolivry94]

Hello everybody!

I'm creating my website with x10 free hosting but it seems that rewrite_mod does'nt work (404 error).
Does anyone know if it should work or not? And/Or how to make it work (if it's possible).

Thank you very much!

(ps: sorry for the english's faults!)

Yes, mod_rewrite is already enabled. Make sure that you include RewriteBase / in your .htaccess file.

Ok! Thanks!!
I have only to write "RewriteBase /" ?
Something else perhaps?

[calistoy]

It's not the only thing, I said to make sure that you include it.

[jeromeolivry94]

Of course there's something else (Rewrite Rule...) but on this line I don't have to write something else?

Is there a problem with my code? I have already 404 errors:


RewriteBase /
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^foo.html$ test.html [L]

Do you actually have a file named test.html in public_html ?

[jeromeolivry94]

no, it's like that:
public_html/jerom/test/test.html
and the .htaccess file is in the same folder...

[descalzo]

Well, I try http://jerome.olivry.kadored.x10.mx/jerome/test/test.html and it gives a 404 so it either isn't there is something else going on.

[jeromeolivry94]

it's jerom/test_rewrite/test.html and not jeromE/test/test.html

When i put the files "test.html" and .htaccess in the folder public_html it works... isn't it possible to do this in other folders?

edit: It seems that I have to put my .htaccess file in public_html and write in it the rule with: ^jerom/test_rewrite/foo.html$ jerom/test_rewrite/test.html [L]
