hii,
i have some dynamic urls which are indexed by google , but all my urls are static as generated by htaccess, dont know how those urls got indexed, so whenever some one visits through google , he cant get page 2 on same url,as that generates 404 error
eg

/mcq.php?mcq_id=149&page=1‎

this url is indexed by google where as it should be

/computer/exam/mcqs/ms-word/questions/149/1.html

i have many pages like this
htaccess has following rule

RewriteRule (.*)/(.*)/mcqs/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)\.html mcq.php?mcq_id=$4&page=$5 [L]

dont know how to handle this

I'm not sure about the rewrite. Do these groups need to be captured? ALso the number looks wrong. Your smart url has 4 groups follwing the '/mcqs/' but your rewrite only has 3.
Does this do anything...

RewriteRule [^/]*/[^/]*/mcqs/[^/]*/[^/]*/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html mcq.php?mcq_id=$1&page=$2 [L]

I think the [^/]* stops the groups from including the forward slash as being part of them.
