.htaccess pretty URLs are not working

I'm trying to use pretty URLs on my site, and I don't know too much about htaccess, but after some search I ended up with this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\/([0-9]+)\/?$ content.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC]

I'm trying to change this:

mysite.com/cms/content.php?action=content&id=80

into:

mysite.com/cms/content/80

But somehow it's not working and what I get is a blank screen and a 404 error,

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) --in-- /cms/files/plugin/tinymce/tinymce.min.js

About the 404 error: It should load a .js file from mystie.com/files/plugin/tinymce/tinymce.min.js -- not -- mystie.com/cms/files/plugin/tinymce/tinymce.min.js

My htaccess file is in the root folder. Am I doing something wrong?

I think the server did not read my .htaccess file. How do I find out the issue?

My guess is that your scripts and styles are being linked to via relative URLs. Because the old URL is /cms/content.php the URI base is /cms/ and your relative links all resolved to be under /cms/, which I assume is what you want.

However, when you change your links to /cms/content/1234, the URI base becomes /cms/content/ and all relative links will use this as its base, and since "content" isn't even a real folder, all those links will 404, and you won't load any of your CSS content or scripts.

Either change your links to absolute URLs or specify a URI base in the header of your pages (inside the <head> </head> tags):

<base href="/cms/" />

You have /cms/ in your URL before the rest, so you need to change RewriteRule to something like this:

RewriteRule ^cms/([a-z]+)\/([0-9]+)\/?$ content.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC]

Also, I hope you are aware that .htaccess can not work on some servers (like nginx or some custom ones), and even on Apache servers there can be mod_rewrite disabled.

You need to make sure to include the subfolder if your htaccess is in the root. Try this rule. 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^cms/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /cms/content.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]

Also a blank screen usually means a PHP error.

You need to place this rule in /cms/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cms/

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ content.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC,L,QSA]

Then you need add this in the <head> section of your page's HTML: <base href="/" /> so that every relative URL is resolved from that URL and not the current page's relative URL.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/cms/([a-z]+)/([0-9]+)$ content.php?action=$1&id=$2 [NC]

Remove escape slashes \
