RewriteRule directive redirect to unexisting page

I have trouble setting directives in .htaccess file. Trying to achieve that if visitor tries to open

http://localhost/occasions/anniversary/

... it have to call browse.php file in root directory, and to send 'anniversary' as one of the parameters.

I defined directive like:

RewriteRule ^/occasions/(.*)/$ http://localhost/browse.php?page=$1

... but it returns Page not found error.

Can you tell me why, and help me to solve this.

Thank you very much in advance!

Just remove your first slash in your RewriteRule, like this:

RewriteRule ^occasions/(.*)/$ http://localhost/browse.php?page=$1

It won't match when using RewriteRule within .htaccess files, as this first slash isn't passed for evaluation.

Try it with Firefox + TamperData Addon and check the response to see where is the page redirecting instead of browse.html.
