Hello, I just finished creating an online site builder and now its time to launch it, I am facing a problem related to URL-Rewriting.

My site builder contains all the files and folders which will make up the client's site inside a folder named as "usersite", and can be access theough http://www.mydomain.com/usersite, what I want is that instead of "usersite", I want to display the user's choosen username in the address, I have tried many way but nothing is working, Right now what I have is that I have to create a rewrite rule for each registered user manually.
E.g

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^user1/(.*)$ usersite/$1&teamname=$0 [nc]
RewriteRule ^user2/(.*)$ usersite/$1&teamname=$0 [nc]
RewriteRule ^user3/(.*)$ usersite/$1?teamname=$0 [nc]
RewriteRule ^user4/(.*)$ usersite/$1?teamname=$0 [nc]

This code is not working completely as if I access a page with query string in the address I can't access the query string variables.

Please help me with this problem.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello, I am developing a site and right now I am facing a problem when I try to upload the code on the server, everything is fine and working there except the flash files, the ".swf" files are showing on the page when access them through the website but they are not loading flv files, and when i try to access the flv files I receive 404 error, please tell me what should I do, I think this is problem due to permissions but I am not aware of how to change them, I am using a windows server.

Thanks

First .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domainname\.com$
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?user=%1 [L]

Second, we must set a redirection from whatever "username.domainname.com" link to "domainname.com". Thats achieved by talking to your hosting provider to setup such a redirect.

Third, according to your site link generation, modify the last line in .htaccess provided lately. In my case it was "index.php?user=1", which was transformed to 1.domainname.com.

Thank You AMD_K8, I will give it a try.

Your problem is just as the exception describes, the file doesn't exist. Try giving an absolute path to the image.
