my .htaccess not working on bluehost

[howhong]

I have moved from other hosting to bluehost. The htaccess files works fine on localhost and my old website. However, it doesn't work on bluehost, what's wrong?

.htaccess:
-----------------------------------------------------
IndexIgnore *
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ album.php?u_id=$1 [L]
-----------------------------------------------------

action:
http://www.example.com/something >>> http://www.example.com/album.php?u_id=something

This is what I use

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule   [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?p=$1        [L]

Thank you for your reply, but your code doesn't work for me.

because when the link is http://www.example.com/music then the resulting link will become http://www.example.com/music/ which doesn't work for me having the "/"

Then remove the / in the code

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule   [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?p=$1        [L]

ok i think my code and your code both work fine

I use the temporary url: http://69.89.31.179/~example/ to test the .htacess file, my and your htacess both doesn't work!

[areidmtm]

can you give a real url?

[howhong]

this is my real url: http://69.89.31.179/~urfotone/


my htacess file:
------------------------------------------
IndexIgnore *
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ album.php?u_id=$1 [L]
------------------------------------------

[areidmtm]

and you tried this:

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule   [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ album.php?u_id=$1        [L]

[howhong]

ok now, the content of htaccess becomes:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ album.php?u_id=$1 [L]

I don't know. That code works on my sites. I'd get in contact with bluehost support. Use live chat on bluehost.com
