The Linux / PHP* servers support mod_rewrite which will allow you to configure your website with Clean or Search engine safe URLs.
Many CMSs like Drupal, Oscommerce allow clean urls like http://www.mydomain.co.nz/my_content which actually points to http://www.mydomain.co.nz/index.php?id=my_content.
Many of the CMSs have a file called .htaccess which has mod_rewrite rules which will allow you to do the above.
On our Linux servers, the following configuration will work in a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
Note: Please note the forward slash in the last line before the index.php. This is required on our servers. |
