Hi Charless
Yes Friendly URL's are producing results.html, and on Apache web server of course.
When using your code sample above the page is resolving to:
www.example.com/results.html?id=122218886&category=Finance%20General fine but not rewriting the intended part.
If I manually enter the URL as intended it just 404's. It's as if it's completely ignoring the rule, however after researching this (all night!) I have got the "L" operator in the correct place to process that RewruteRule last.
Here is most of the .htaccess file, perhaps this will shed more light?
