Htaccess problems

I have this .htaccess file that doesn't work when I start with getgage.local / category / gages / part of this array doesn't go through

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule     ^/category/(.*?)/$  category.php?p=$1 [rn]

For testing the category.php file, just dumping $ _POST, $ _GET and $ _SERVER is what I see when I open the page.

GET
Array ( )
POST
Array ( ) 
SERVER
Array (
    [HTTP_USER_AGENT] => Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/1.0.154.59 Safari/525.19
    [HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING] => gzip,deflate,bzip2,sdch
    [HTTP_ACCEPT] => text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
    [HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL] => max-age=0
    [HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-US,en
    [HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET] => ISO-8859-1,*,utf-8
    [HTTP_HOST] => gotgage.local
    [HTTP_CONNECTION] => Keep-Alive
    [PATH] => /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
    [SERVER_SIGNATURE] =>  Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch Server at gotgage.local Port 80


    [SERVER_SOFTWARE] => Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4.2 with Suhosin-Patch
    [SERVER_NAME] => gotgage.local
    [SERVER_ADDR] => 192.168.0.180
    [SERVER_PORT] => 80
    [REMOTE_ADDR] => 192.168.0.196
    [DOCUMENT_ROOT] => /home/gotgage/www/
    [SERVER_ADMIN] => [no address given]
    [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /home/gotgage/www/category.php
    [REMOTE_PORT] => 56793
    [GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1
    [SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1
    [REQUEST_METHOD] => GET
    [QUERY_STRING] => 
    [REQUEST_URI] => /category/gages/
    [SCRIPT_NAME] => /category.php
    [PATH_INFO] => /gages/
    [PATH_TRANSLATED] => /home/gotgage/www/gages/
    [PHP_SELF] => /category.php/gages/
    [REQUEST_TIME] => 1241579116
    [argv] => Array
        (
        )

    [argc] => 0 )

The redirect technically works, however I am not getting the vars on the page below that the dumping is correct from the correct page, but my vars are not being transferred.

Well it worked for me. Seems like I didn't like leading errors /

and [rn]

for me syntax errors.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/(.*?)/$ category.php?p=$1

Note: it should be anyway [R,N]

, but again, in this case they are not needed.

RewriteRule Flags Documentation - shows why you probably didn't want to use R

or N

, but there may be something we don't know.
RewriteRule Documentation - Doesn't seem to indicate the leading /

RewriteRules in .htaccess (if there is a RewriteBase). Anyway, try the rule with and without /

, for me it only works without it.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the problem, but marking flags as " [rn]

" is not valid. Multiple flags should be separated by commas, so if you are trying to set flags R

and N

it should be[R,N]

There are a few things that are somewhat unclear:

1) What was the relevant match against the regex part:

(.*?)

This is a bit overkill - if you just want to match anything between the forward slashes, suffice:

(.*)

2) You are setting the 'rn' flag which is not valid. An example of valid flags:

[R]
[N]
[R,N]

although, I'm not sure if you really want to use R and N together.
