I have a order page in the following path
https://example.com/backend/web/order
And I want to display it as
https://example.com/order
What should be the htaccess code (please let me know of every step if possible so I can learn also). Where should I place the htaccess file? Inside the backend folder or the root folder.
To change https://example.com/backend/web/order to https://example.com/order you can use the following rule in htaccess in your root folder :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^order /back-end/web/order [L]
The rule above makes it possible to access your old URL as http://example.com/order .

I am trying to rewrite url using htaccess but it's saying 404.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^p/([a-z0-9])$ product1.php?pid=$1
It's not opening product1.php file.
You need to make sure your htaccess file and your product1.php file are in same folder. If not that it will give 404 errors.
If they are not present in same folder then you need to complete relative path from the path where your htaccess file is present like: eg: Let's say we have folder structure like:
/root/.htaccess
/root/singh/test/product1.php
So have your rules in following manner then:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^p/([a-z0-9])$ singh/test/product1.php?pid=$1 [NC,L]
Also apart from these put NC and L flags too in your rules to do case sensitive matching and making this condition's last rule here.
I have a site https://sitename.com/web (example). So, full path to page is sitename.com/web/index.php. On ftp server there is folder /web which also contain second page file - index-2.php. How to avoid creating /web-2/ folder and redirect index-2.php to sitename.com/web-2 ?
Easy, create an .htaccess file inside the root folder of your site, then add the following lines to it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^web-2$ index-2.php [QSA,L,NC]

I have an application whose codebase is deployed inside a folder shop . The URL to the main application is http://myapp/shop/.
One of the links on my page reads
http://myapp/shop/website-design/design-urself.php
which I want to redirect to http://myapp/shop/website-design/index.php
The rule which I am using in my .htaccess file is :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/website-design/design-urself.php /website-design/index.php [R=301]
But the link is wrongly being getting redirected to http://myapp/website-design/index.php
I tried by removing the leading slash (/) from the urls as :
RewriteRule ^website-design/design-urself.php website-design/index.php [R=301]
but still it doesn't work.
I can understand that probably changing the RewriteBase to shop will solve my problem.
However , the thing here is - going further, the folder name ("shop" in my case) can change . So , in that case I have to again go and modify the .htaccess , which is not desirable.
What is the appropriate RewriteRule I should use in this case?
UPDATE : I have my .htaccess file located at my document root , i.e, inside the folder shop and outside of all other folders residing inside shop.
Ok, I'm clueless here...
I need to rewrite a directory structure and all sub-directories within it to a directory within the same server, but a root that is before the directory.
For example:
http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder
and all directories called upon after folder. Such as folder/sub_folder or folder/afolder/anotherfolder, it needs to include ALL sub-directories within the folder directory.
should be redirected to this:
http://www.mydomain.com
How do I do this via a .htaccess file within the folder path http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder?
Please someone help.
Thanks guys :)
The files within the directory structure still need to be accessible for that structure when called via PHP, but I don't want people being able to browse to http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder and be shown all subdirectories within that folderpath and/or all files. Same thing for all sub-directories that follow that folder path.
I'd like to be able to place the .htaccess file within the http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder directory on the server, but don't know exactly what code to use for this.
ALSO, even more challenging... The domain name can change, so I'd rather not use the domain name within the .htaccess file, instead perhaps use .. or . to go up a directory or a different method of grabbing the domain name within the .htaccess file.
Create a .htaccess file in /Themes/default/css/folder and place these lines there (it requires mod_rewrite):
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,L]
It will redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) all requests to a folder to a homepage. If file is requested, it will allow it.
If you want to have it working for folders as well as files then remove the RewriteCond line -- it will redirect ALL requests (even for non-existing URLs) to a homepage.
If you will see "500 Internal Server Error" after creating such file, then it is your server configuration: mod_rewrite may not be enabled or it's directives (RewriteRule, RewriteCond, RewriteEngine) are not allowed to be placed in .htaccess. In any case -- check Apache's error log for exact error message (it will give you the exact reason).

Is it possible to set a default folder to access instead of a file like "index.html".
What I'd like to to is make it so that when a person visits my site they get redirected to a folder within the root of the domain. I am using a blogging engine and I need it to show up as the homepage but I don't want to install it in the root because I have other folders and files that need to be in the root directory. And I don't want to put them inside the blogging software's folder. I also don't want to use a 301 or 3XX redirect for SEO purposes.
If there's a way to do what I'm asking let me know. If not, let me know the best option otherwise.
Try this mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ foo/bar [L]
This will rewrite requests to the directory where this rule is applied to to foo/bar. So if you put this rule in the .htaccess file in your document root and request http://example.com/, it will get rewritten to http://example.com/foo/bar.
