Adding the shirt conditional gives me a server error of 500 and I can't access any pages.

When I add the conditional, I can no longer access my localhost. Code is below. 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R-301]

Anyone with similar issues?

Hi Becky,

The only issue I see is your redirection statement is formatted incorrectly, currently you have an hyphen where an equals sign should be which will cause an internal server error as Apache can't parse it.

RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]
