Hey there,

I'm attempting to use clean URLs.

The about page my site is located at http://www.example.com/frontEnd/about.php

I'd like to access it by merely typing in http://www.example.com/about/

Similar to how you clean ugly variables in a URL :

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([\w\-]+)/?$ index.php?var=$1

I've been playing around with mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file in the root directory, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried :

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/about/?$ frontEnd/about.php

But this doesn't seem to work.
