aliasing a URL

[rspark07]

Lets say I want to alias a URL based on the following example:

User types 'http://website.com/page/hotdogs'

I want this to then be aliased to 'http://website.com/process.php?id= hotdogs

I looked as aliasmatch, and scriptaliasmatc h, but I couldn't find any good examples on how to accomplish this.

My problem looks to be that apache is not processing my Rewrite or Alias commands.

I have made sure the Rewrite Module is uncommented out, and I am testing with the following lines of code in the httpd.conf file.

# Rewrite URL's
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/oldstuff$ Register.php

I then restart the webserver, and type 'http://localhost/oldstuff' which I would expect would rename the URL to http://localhost/Register.php

Instead I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request. Help.

I was able to get this to work with .htaccess file only, and not with the httpd.conf file.
