6,992 PointsI am not getting the "RewriteRules enabled.
I have created ".htaccess" and entered RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php
and when I go to http://localhost/shirts.php I get object not found.
How do I enable Rewrite Rules?

1,609 PointsWhat exactly are you trying to rewrite? Like, what is the original URL and what are you trying to rewrite it too?

1,609 PointsInside your .htaccess file try typing this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^\w+$ shirts.php?page=$0 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} shirts\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^ shirts\.php$ /%1? [R=301,L]
Make sure the .htacces file is in the root folder of your template and only the root.

1,609 PointsDisregard what I said and try copy and pasting this:
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
I just noticed you put a "/" in front of shirts in your original code. This may fix that.

1,609 PointsIf you can answer some questions, I'll try to help. What kind of OS do you have, are you using a local or remote server, if so, is your server local or remote and if the server you're using is local, did you install it manually or are you using a LAMP Environment program like MAMP or WAMP?
