I have this and it works fine: RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index.php?tools=hardware&type=$1.php [L] So when someone goes to "mysite.com/industrial.html", they will be redirected to the right page. However, I want to change it to this, and it does not work RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?tools=hardware&type=$1.php [L] So people would only have to go to "mysite.com/industrial"

Where have you placed the rewrite rule? Inside web root folder or another folder?

You need the following redirection? mysite.com/anything ---> mysite.com/index.php?tools=hardware&type=anything.php

I use this stuff religiously lol. RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)/(.*)/pg(.*)/ viewthread.php?tid=$2&page=$3 [L,NC] That redirects... http://www.somedomain.com/forum/11/23/pg1/index.php to... http://www.somedomain.com/viewthread.php?tid=23&page=1 I really shouldn't call it redirect because it is invisible to the users. Edit: The first (.*) really does nothing. I have this setup to basically build a forum tree.

Yes, I need this redirection. The .htaccess file is in the root folder.

You may try this rule.
