    Does your server use Apache? laugh

    If it's nginx, you'll need to set up the rewrites differently. There's an example for it in the docs.

    If it is apache, perhaps it's not catching up on the .htaccess in the stuff.mike folder because of a .htaccess higher up in the chain? Maybe a different .htaccess file is already sending requests somewhere else?

    Can you get to the files if you use the non-friendly-url link? E.g. /stuff.mike/index.php?id=1

    Thanks guys for all your help. Got to talk to the admin for my server since he's back in the office today. Turns out, the htaccess file was not being read because it wasn't on the server's list of files that are allowed to perform overrides. It's on the list now and friendly names are working just fine.

    I really appreciate the assistance on this.
