i have the following 3 files in my rewrite-testfolder directory

shortandsweet1.html
frustrating.php
.htaccess

here is my .htaccess file code.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shortandsweet.html /frustrating.php

now when i type ==>> http://localhost/rewrite-testfolder/shortandsweet.html
in my browser instead of redirecting me to http://localhost/rewrite-testfolder/frustrating.php it shows the page with message

Not Found
The requested URL /rewrite-testfolder/shortandsweet.html was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.23 Server at localhost Port 80

any solution plz...............

Your mod_rewrite is loaded into your server config, Like your server supports mod_rewrite?

Maybe? try...

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shortandsweet\.html$ /rewrite-testfolder/frustrating.php

The docs say you don't need to, experience tells me otherwise

You MUST have a line with rewritebase in it
