PHP Permalink not working

Question

I would like to create permalink for my url. So I have added .htaccess file to my root but it does not change.

vid is post id and id is page index. Thanks.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /play.php?vid=$1&id=$2 [L]
</IfModule>

You _did_ enable interpretation of `.htaccess` style files for your http server? If not, please check the excellent documentation, I suggest. — arkascha, Jul 18 '14 at 16:33

Check the Apache module.

To activate the module, the following line in httpd.conf needs to be active:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

To see whether it is already active, try putting a .htaccess file into a web directory containing the line:

RewriteEngine on

if this works without throwing a 500 internal server error, and the .htaccess file gets parsed, URL rewriting works.
