How to use mod_rewrite on cpanel

[housefire]

So ive never used mod_rewrite before, and am trying to set it up to do the following.

i want domain.com/stores/whatever to forward to

domain.com/stores/index.php?id=whatever

in the same way that domain.com/stores/another would to forward to

domain.com/stores/index.php?id=another

I have no idea where to start with this.

Any input?

Using mod_rewrite in a cPanel environment is the same as using mod_rewrite for Apache (as we use Apache to serve web pages).

Official documentation for this can be found at: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
