Mod_rewrite, the Apache web server's URL rewriting utility, allows the translation of client requests based on a number of rules. For example:
RewriteRule ^oldstuff\.html$ newstuff.html
will translate a request named oldstuff.html to newstuff.html before it is requested from the server.
Following are a set of useful resources for using mod_rewrite
- apache documentation on mod_rewrite
- File:Mod rewrite cheat.pdf from [1].
- This url can help writing very basic rewriting rules for mapping directory-like request to a dynamic request (e.g. www.dot.com/page/main -> www.dot.com/index.php?page=main).
