[svlug] gotten myself in trouble with permalinks,

[Kellner, Peter]

Thanks for everyones help.  I'm not quite there yet.  (though just a
little smarter on reg. exp.  I did download the tool and it appears
[?]p=24 matches ?p=24 so with that in mind I'm trying to get this:

http://test.cyclohamster.com/?p24

to redirect to

http://test.cyclohamster.com/xxx/bearflag.jpg

I created a one line .htaccess file (after reading
http://www.sitepoint.com/print/guide-url-rewriting 

  
RewriteRule [?]p24 /xxx/bearflag.jpg

When I run the http://test.cyclohamster.com/?p24 it just gives me the
directory of the site.

Thanks again for sticking with me on this.  I'm hoping what I'm trying
to do is very simple but it's not seeming that way.

-Peter  (BTW, the URL's I've mentioned above are the real URL's, try
them)

with dh, you can use mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess.
