… stressing the trying part. You have failed miserably at saying anything that makes sense. And until you do, you really can't get any help.

Just for your info, URLS like mydomain.com/contact or mydomain.com/home is working fine. This problem occures only with pages having querystring parameters
You clearly state that the problem only ever occurs when pages have querystrings. It does not clearly state that a particular server is the only one having problems, but you are answering a question which is directed specifically at xoom.
And then

you clearly state that there is no problem at all on localhost, but that it breaks in production.
To summarize the current state of your desription, you have stated that
1. The problem only occurs with pages having querystring
2. Everything works fine on localhost but does not work in production
3. Your answer to "do ANY rewrites work is so unrelated to the actual question that it's actually impossible to understand what your answer is supposed to mean, but it probably means that "No. rewrites do not work at all in production"
You have to understand that these are mutually exclusive. Or at the very least ambigous (note to Santa: please give me a natural language compiler for christmas) since
A. Things cannot break on pages with querystring if "everything" works fine on localhost. Either querystring breaks rewrites on localhost and in that case everything doesn't work fine on localhost. Or everything does work fine on localhost but querystring breaks rewrites in production.
B. Things cannot break only for pages having querystring if rewrites doesn't work at all in production.
You will have to come up with a way to express what does work and where it works, as well as what doesn't work and where it doesn't work in a way that is unambigous and non-contradictory. Otherwise there is nothing for us to answer.
For example, this description might for example be any one of these, but not more than one:
rewrites do not work at all, neither on localhost nor in production.
all rewrites work at home, but no rewrites work in production
rewrites work at home except when including a querystring, while none work in production
all rewrites work at home, but urls with querystrings fail in production
some rewrites work at home (example url1, example url2) but others fail (example failurl1, example failurl2)
My production server is a teapot (418)
Also note that IF you are dealing with multiple problems at the same time, you should CLEARLY state this, and usually create two separate threads for these problems. For example
Thread 1, title: rewrites fail for urls with query strings
This post should only deal with localhost and finding out how to make rewrites work with query strings on localhost.
Relevant info in the post: which urls fail, what happens and what you actually want to happen. Example urls are good to include here.
Thread 2, title: rewrites do not work on web server
This post should only deal with making rewrites work on whatever server it does not work with.
Relevant info in this post: what web server you are using, what you have done to try making it work: I did this to enable mod_rewrite, I added this to httpd.conf, and I created an .htaccess file in /path/to/dir which looks like …
