Restructure urls using .htaccess file

Question

I need to convert links such as

http://www.example.co.uk/blog/archive.php?date=2012-05

to

http://www.example.co.uk/blog/archive/2012/05/

using php or .htaccess file.

.htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^blog/archive/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$ http://www.example.co.uk/blog/archive.php?date=$1-$2 [NC]

Ive have tried this but not having any luck. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Do you get a 404 when accessing the url? Is there anything else in the htaccess? Code looks fine to me. — Gerben

Hi Gerben nothing, the code is ignored the only thing i could think of is that rewrite mod is not enabled but i would have no idea how to check this. — Chill Web Designs

Haven't you missed out the word archive? I don't think your pattern matches — Pete

Sorry forgot to add that to the example above but is in my .htaccess file, have updated code above. — Chill Web Designs

Put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^blog/archive/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ blog/archive.php?date=$1-$2 [NC,L,QSA]

I get Internal Server Error 500 - I remove the top line server error goes but still doesn't work.

I have posted it after testing it on my Apache. Can you please check error.log of Apache and see what the actual error is? As a side note pls post your latest .htaccess in your question.
