Hello,
i found this forum searching in google help to .htaccess configuration. So i hope you can help me.
I have an escorts directory script running by Godaddy Linux Hosting Service (mod_rewrite enabled) and in the script configuration panel i can select if i what use standard urls or search engine friendly urls with a second option to choose (-) separator or (+) separator and an advise if i use (-) separator i must use 2.5 .htaccess rules.
I tried to use an online .htaccess generator tool to create my .htaccess but after i uploaded the created .htaccess file to my web space, selected to use search engine friendly urls and visit a listing page, the browser shows a search engine friendly url but a 404 error page appears.
I noted that the generated search engine friendly urls always starts with the word "listing" ex.:

1) Search Engine Friendly Url and (+) separator option

http://www.mywebsite.com/listing-city+firstword+age+yo+secon dword+thirdword+fourthword+fifthword-4.html

404 Error Page Appears!

2) Search Engine Friendly Url and (-) separator option

http://www.mywebsite.com/listing-city-firstword-age-yo-secon dword-thirdword-fourthword-fifthword-4.html

404 Error Page Appears!

3) Standard Url

http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?action=listingview&li stingID=4

Listing is showed correctly but as you can see the url is not search engine friendly! Sad

I hope you can help me to solve this problem and excuse me if i disturbed you with it

Thanks so much for your attention
