.htaccess file not working

[nicklong9836]

I am trying to create a .htaccess file that will make my CMS simpler. Basically it will redirect page.com/blog to page.com/index.php?page=blog

http://ravvel.x10.mx/blog is an example.

Here is my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On # turns on the rewrite engine
RewriteRule ^(((([0-9]+)|([a-z]))*/?)*)$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Nick Long

Alright, I fixed it myself. What I did was I added a / in front of the index.php and everything worked perfectly
