How to write RewriteRule in .htaccess file?

[sayedtaqui]

Hi, I have created a cms on my localhost for a website. And I have created only one page where I am dynamically creating all other pages by passing different ids. So my pages are like this.
http://localhost/spscollege/allpages.php?id=1 for about-us
http://localhost/spscollege/allpages.php?id=2 for facilites
http://localhost/spscollege/allpages.php?id=3 for addmission
and so on…

I want to rewrite the rule for the url in .htaccess , and I googled it a lot but nothing seems to work. Let me tell you what all things I did so you can figure out what mistake i m making.
1- I created a .htaccess file and kept in the root directory of my folder(along with allpages.php)
2. I wrote (from a turtorial) this in the .htaccess file

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home.*$ http://localhost/spscollege/allpages.php?id=1/ [R=301,L]

I also checked the configration in phpinfo() and I can see that mod_rewrite
is on.
I also used http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/ to rewite which gave me this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*).html$ /spscollege/allpages.php?id=$1 [L]

but that didn’t work either
I watched a lot of youtube vidoes but nothing seems to be working for me.
What mistake m I making? and how do get this work . ):
I m using Xampp
I have never written the rewrite rule before, I would apperecite any help or suggestion.
Thanks

What happens when you try to use the rewrite rule? Does it 404?

It doesn’t show any errror.
But when I replaced a letter ‘m’ from the word +FollowSymLinks to +FollowSynLinks(just to check weather its even doing something or not.) , it showed error 500, thats the only error I have seen, else it doesn’t show any error.
