First of all, you have to verify, if the ModRewrite works ok.
SITE ROOT/.htaccess:

1. RewriteEngine On
   
2. RewriteBase /
   
3. RewriteRule ^test.html$ test.php [L,QSA]
   

Copy the Code

SITE ROOT/test.php:

1. <?php
   
2. echo "this is test.php";
   

Copy the Code

Then go to
http://yoursite.com/test.html

If you see this: this is test.php
then your ModRewrite works ok.
Elsewhere ask your hosting support!
