your rewrite rule (most notably the one at the very bottom of the script) rewrites BLA.html to BLA.php<br /><br />as such when you access contactus.html the server is attempting to fetch contactus.php<br /><br />it might be a better idea to use a specific sub-directory, at least in name, to stop this sort of thing (or merely rename your files to php).<!--content-->
