How to rewrite module in apache?

[MediaStar]

Just a query.. Is it godaddy hosting?
They have pretty strict .htaccess rewrite restrictions.
(They let you use it within the root directory of your hosting account only.)

Or try

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?q=$1
(ensure that 'q' is really the value your lookign for..)

Its working fine with shared hosting, the problem now is with my vps (not godaddy)

will try your code

updated: still no luck
