I'm trying to use htaccess to rewrite example.com/data to example.com/index.php?section=data. I'm using Statamic which seems to make things a bit more complicated. I get a 404 when using the below htaccess, what do I do wrong?
If I change "RewriteRule ^data index.php?section=data" to "RewriteRule ^data http://example.com/index.php?section=data" it works fine but it seems to trigger a redirect and the url changes to "http://example.com/index.php?section=data" which I would like to avoid.
