How do i change-

/profile.php?username=username

to-

/profile/username


Thanks.

EDIT: I've tried the code below but I get error 500

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/profile.php?username=(.*) /profile/$1 [PT]

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^profile/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ profile.php?username=$1 [L]

You got it mixed up a little bit, that should work.

Rewrite Engine On
RewriteRule ^profile/([^\/]+)/?$ /profile.php?username=$1 [L]

Im using apche2 but its sort of built into wamp, I think there must be a config file somewhere with all of the options in, but on wamp you can just change them through a menu.

httpd.conf should be inside the conf or apache directory. Just find it.

You should see an option for the rewrite module, turn it on, if the modules wasn't compiled with Apache, you may have to compile it again.
