I want to rewrite requests for:

/site_geo_template.cfm?cityname=new
york&keywordphrase=some keyword

to:

/services_new_york_some_keyword.html

Here's the rule i'm trying in the RegexTest:

RewriteRule ^services_(.*)_(.*)\.html
site_geo_template.cfm?cityname=$1&keywordphrase=$2 [NC]

It keeps giving "pattern not matched errors"

I'm sure it's something simple like a missing "\", "$",
etc., but i've tried every think i can think of and it
won't work.

Can someone help please?

Thanks

Hello Dan,

The rule you're trying to apply is taking /services_new_york_some_keyword.html and cuts it according to the pattern.
So at the end it's transformed into:

Code:
site_geo_template.cfm?cityname=new&keywordphrase=york


So I would suggest a separator like 'dash' for citynames and keywords.
Code:
/services_new-york_some-keyword.html


Regards
Andrew

so you're saying that the underscore currently in place in
my rule won't work, but a dash will?

I tried changing the _ to a - but it had no effect, the
rule is still not working...

Current rule:

RewriteRule ^services_(.*)-(.*)\.html
site_geo_template.cfm?cityname=$1&keywordphrase=$2 [NC]

No, Dan.
The rule was fine. What I meant, is that you mentioned:

Code:
I want to rewrite requests for:
/site_geo_template.cfm?cityname=new

york&keywordphrase=some keyword
to:

/services_new_york_some_keyword.html


you have '_' as a separator in /services_new_york_some_keyword.html
That mixes everything up. I suggest changing URL structure to /services_new-york_some-keyword.html.

Is that gonna work for you?

Regards
Andrew
