What I want...
http://www.sublimestylee.com/news/500/
This may seem like an easy fix, but I have been playing with it for hours and I am stumped.
Here is the code...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /pages/
RewriteRule news_story_display\.php$ /news/$1 [R,L]It may seem like I just need to add ?id= after the .php part in the 3rd line, but it doesn't work. If I include it so the code looks like...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /pages/
RewriteRule news_story_display\.php?id=$ /news/$1 [R,L]The URL's are now like the original, before I edtied my .htaccess file and display like...
NOTE: I have used escape characters infront of the ? and such with no luck either.

This should do it:
RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)$ news/?id=$1 [L]

The original URL will still work. When you use the rule that I posted, http://www.example.com/news/?id=123 will work in addition to http://www.example.com/news/123

This is little more than an edited copy/paste:
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ news_story_display.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]'I blagged it from Drupal (as it's ReWrite malarkey is pretty similar to what you're doing). Give it a try; not sure about the QSA rule at the end, according to the Apache docs:
*** EDIT ***
Is that 404 page your doing, or the hosts?
