mod_rewrite not passing variables to php script

[sjarvis]

I'm new to using mod_rewrite, and I'm trying to use the following mod_rewrite rule:

RewriteRule /story/([0-9]+)$ /story.php?storyid=$1

The user is redirected to the correct page (story.php) but no GET variable is passed to the page with the regex substitution ($1).

Do I need to make changes to my httpd.conf or php.ini to enable this?

I've researched this for a couple of days, but all the articles and posts I've found seem to indicate there's nothing wrong with the rule.

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem. Does anyone know the solution?
