I'm having trouble getting mod_rewrite to work. Here's what I've got:
Code:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/something/(.+)$ folder/something.php?d=$1

Except when I go to http://url.com/something/Text, I just get a white page (instead of the contents of http://url.com/something/something.php?d=Text). I can use .htaccess to redirect the page just fine, but I'd rather it do a rewrite.

EDIT-- The white page is my 404 page. I had forgotten that I set it to be a blank page.

Never mind, I got it to work. It seems that I shouldn't have had had that first slash. Silly me.

You can make things simpler in future with a base, it can be confusing at times figuring out whether you need a starting slash or not.

Simplest method is to add this line:
RewriteBase /
