How to change file extension sitemap.php to sitemap.xml using htaccess - .htaccess

If I write URL domain.com/something-any-word website is running properly. But I need a sitemap in XML format so I write PHP code in sitemap.php. I want in runtime sitemap.xml (ref. website is https://www.webslesson.info/2017/06/make-dynamic-xml-sitemap-in-php-script.html)
my current .htaccess file is working without sitemap.xml
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Just rewrite the request to that sitemap as you like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine ^/?sitemap\.xml$ /sitemap.php [END]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
In case you receive an internal server error (http status 500) using the rule above then chances are that you operate a very old version of the apache http server. You will see a definite hint to an unsupported [END] flag in your http servers error log file in that case. You can either try to upgrade or use the older [L] flag, it probably will work the same in this situation, though that depends a bit on your setup.

If you want sitemap.php to runtime show sitemap.xml and you want yourdomain.com/something-without-ext write this code in .htacces file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

Error 404 - Not Found when URL change by .htaccess

I have changed the URL using the .htaccess file. When go to that URL it gives Error 404 - Not Found
.htaccess code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^Product/Details/([^/]*)/(.*)/?$ index.php?u=$1&p=$2 [QSA,L]
Change aaa.com/Product/Details/index.php?u=aa&p=bb to aaa.com/Product/Details/aa/bb.
How to avoid ERROR 404 and get URL data by $_GET['u'] and $_GET['p'] or using other method.
This probably is what you are looking for:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^u=([^&]+)&p=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^/?Product/Details/index\.php/?$ /Product/Details/%1/%2 [R=301,L,QSD]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?Product/Details/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?u=$1&p=$2 [QSA,L]
It is a good idea to start out using a R=302 temporary redirection and only change that to a R=301 permanent redirection once everything works as desired. That prevents nasty caching issues.

.htaccess rule not excluding existing files when rule has a slash condition

I am redirecting this type of url
http://www.site.com/windows/games/ or http://www.site.com/windows/games
http://www.site.com/windows/software/ or http://www.site.com/windows/software
to
http://www.site.com/windows/ct.php?ct=games
http://www.site.com/windows/ct.php?ct=software
Site structure
wamp/www/Site/windows/ct.php
I am trying this way its redirecting properly but when url has trailing slash at end its rewriting css, js files too.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/?$ /Site/windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
i.e
this type of url has css and javascript applied.
http://www.site.com/windows/games
but this type of url has no css and javascript applied. (not working with trailing slash).
http://www.site.com/windows/games/
I have tried several syntax like
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)/?$ /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/(^(.[^/]*)/?)$ /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/? /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)/? /windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
but it didn't work.

RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^rss/(.*?)\.xml$ rss/$1.php [L]

Please see and suggest any possible way to do it.
Thanks.
The issue here is that your relative paths break when you add a trailing slash as it introduces two-levels of directory structure while the CSS/JS file paths come out only once ... So, your RewriteRule is actually firing for CSS/JS files as well when resolving 404s for paths like /windows/global/js/js.js. But, the scripts still fail to work because they aren't under /Site and that's where your rule is serving the request from.
So, to fix things without touching the relative URLs or resource locations; add another rule as follows:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]*)/?$ /Site/windows/ct.php?ct=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^windows/(global/.*)$ /$1 [L] # handles css|js files
The rest of your .htaccess (of course) remains the same.
I use the following rule in .htaccess, but this may be too general:
RewriteRule ^q/([^/]+)/([^/]+)(\/?)$ /path/to/q.php?type=$1&q=$2&{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
This may be better for you:
RewriteRule ^windows(\/?)$ /path/to/windows.php?{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
RewriteRule ^windows/([^/]+)(\/?)$ /path/to/windows.php?type=$1&{QUERY_STRING} [NC]
You will have to change this according to your situation. I haven't tested this, but I hope it is good enough for you to get where you want.

Moving codeigniter project to a new hosting provider - .htaccess and index.php

I just moved my functional codeigniter project to a new web hosting provider and am now having challenges removing the index.php from the URL using a standard .htaccess mod-rewrite. Here is the .htaccess that was working fine:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I found this discussion but I do not have root access to the apache server to make the suggested configuration change.
Using the provided .htaccess file above,
Works fine: http://www.mysite.com/index.php/plans
Doesn't work: http://www.mysite.com/plans
Any suggestions are appreciated.
If you really have to accept both forms of URLs likewise then you need two RewriteRules. Once accepting variants with then 'index.php' part and one without.
Something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index\.php/(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Your question's not very clear, but a common problem with mod_rewrite rules like this is that some servers need the request to be passed as a query. I.e. you'd need to change your last line to:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

htaccess physcially redirect in case of 404

To start off I know how to do a simple redirect to a 404 when a page doesn't exist with.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
Is what I want to do is a physical redirect to the index page. So if a user types in mydomain.com/abc and that page doesn't exist it does an actual redirect TO the index page. I don't want the url to remain the same with the bad address. Yes I know its not a big deal but it bugs me. I could accomplish this by having a custom 404 page redirect to the homepage but I don't want this.
I've tried this with the [R] redirect flag and obviously it doesn't work.
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [L,R]
Update
This is the error I get it rewrites the url to mydomain.com/index.php
I tried to remove the index.php with just / and it didn't redirect but gave the same error below.
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
Do this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(?:\.\w+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [L,R]
Explanation:
checks whether the file has extension:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(?:\.\w+)$ [NC]
If not, checks whether file is present:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
If not a file, checks whether it is a folder which is present:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
If not append .php. If / is present at the end, remove it and append .php
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/?$ $1.php
Checks whether the .php appended or whatever extension file is actually a file which is present:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
check whether it is a directory:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
If not, then it is a invalid file request and redirects it to /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [L,R]
This should be your mod_rewrite based 404 handling:
# if it is not a file, directory or link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L,R]
However I am not sure what are you doing in your first rule? Are you trying to add .php to each request URI?

mod_rewrite won't remove file extensions with other rewrite rule in place

I have the following mod_rewrite within my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?ID=$1 [QSA,NC,L,R]
The code above works but the issue is several of the pages on my site link to files without extensions because our original .htaccess file removed all extensions from every request. My site is built on PHP. Ultimately I want to use the rules above exactly as is but at the end of it all, i want to strip the file extension (.php) from every request.
Is this possible?
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?ID=$1 [QSA,NC,L,R]
