Hakkai’s Mod Rewrite

I’ve finally managed to get around in implementing Apache’s mod_rewrite function for one of my fanlistings, namely my Cho Hakkai one. There was a lot of experimentation plus some trial and errors before I got it right.

One of the errors seems to be that since the new URLs were transformed from

http://hakkai.winglica.com/members.php?mode=members&cid=163

to

http://hakkai.winglica.com/members/cid/163/

that my server decided to get finicky on me.

I have to say that the whole thing is just too picky. In some cases, a trailing slash gives out an error while in some cases no trailing slash gives a 404.

Not to mention that I have to state the absolute URL for my images and style sheets because, the mod_rewrite rewriting the URL into folders, relative images don’t work on those ‘folders’ anymore.

Sigh. But I do suppose the whole process is worth it; as long as the Hakkai love grows. ^^

//edit
Also finished rewriting Kohaku of Spirited Away now.
