22,248 PointsRewrite HELP!!!!
My get variable looks like example.com/?s=foo
I added this
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=([a-z]+)$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1? [R=301]
which results with a 404 error when I type example.com/?s=foo. It rewrites correctly to example.com/foo but it says it cannot find /foo
To fix this, I tried to add RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ /?s=$1 [L]
so that example.com/foo serves example.com/?s=foo but now i have the EVIL INFINITE REDIRECT LOOP. DARN.
I cannot figure this out - up until 4am last night. HELP!@

22,248 PointsThis is a reply to Alexander. No, I don't need a 301. And there is no page that is a /foo. I want the URL to be clean and read /foo, but I want the PHP file to run /?s=foo (i just don't want the user to see the get parameters - in other words, a "clean url").

So it would read RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/? [R=301]
Hope you already got it working :)

Are you really need 301 redirect from example.com/?s=foo to example.com/foo ? Maybe you want to just pass get parameter to example.com/foo?
If you definitely need 301 redirect, do you have file on a server by /foo URL ?
