mod_rewrite image problems

I currently have this in .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^page/(.*)/(.*)$ /type1/internal.php?parentFolders=$1&pageTitleID=$2 [L]

When I visit http://localhost/type1/page/home/play it works fine, however I would like to take the /page/ out therefore being http://localhost/type1/home/play

I have tried the following:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ /type1/internal.php?parentFolders=$1&pageTitleID=$2 [L]

however some images seem to vanish, and some don't.

Also, I find hard links in my nav do not work either as they are asking for variables used in internal pages.

I am not sure if this is a absolute/relative problem as my CSS is written as 

<link href="http://localhost/type1/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

and links seem to be full links when I inspect them with my browser!?

Any help would be great

As I understand the .htaccess file is located in /type1/ subfolder. Try these rules:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)$ /type1/internal.php?parentFolders=$1&pageTitleID=$2 [L,QSA]

  1. The (.*) pattern you are using is too broad for first parameter, I use ([^/]+) instead (any character except slash).

  2. Added 2 rewrite conditions .. so only requests to non-existing files and folders will be rewritten. This should help with disappeared images (or may not -- it all depends how how the links are written).

  3. Added QSA flag to preserve any existing query string.
