I was going crazy installing Wordpress 2.7 on Godaddy Economy Hosting (Windows) that wouldn’t support mod_rewrite. I managed to fix it using a custom 404 file, and I've been relatively happy with Godaddy since (although I haven't tried others yet). I wrote about it here: http://ferrogate.com/2009/04/the-new-ferrogate-i-moved-from-blogger-to-wordpress.html Great blog! (subscribing this very moment). Yeah, I hear what you are saying here.

Well, I had the same problem u have, and after some googling I found the answer it is as simple as one instruction on the .htaccess: <code>Options -MultiViews</code> This is the .htaccess that worked for me: <code> Options +FollowSymLinks Options -MultiViews rewriteEngine On rewriteRule ^test/(.*)\.php$ /test.php?variable=$1</code> If this do not work or your hosting is in the root directory try taking out the / on the second part of the rewrite rule, like this <code> rewriteRule ^test/(.*)\.php$ test.php?variable=$1</code> Hope I'd helped ^^ I’m not native speaker, sorry for the grammar..

Well, I had the same problem u have, and after some googling I found the answer it is as simple as one instruction on the .htaccess:

Options -MultiViews

This is the .htaccess that worked for me:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -MultiViews
rewriteEngine On
rewriteRule ^test/(.*)\.php$ /test.php?variable=$1

If this do not work or your hosting is in the root directory try taking out the / on the second part of the rewrite rule, like this

rewriteRule ^test/(.*)\.php$ test.php?variable=$1

Hope I’d helped ^^
