I'm setting up an nginx server this time and wanted to implement my .htaccess from my old apache server.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^proc/?$ process.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>
Which describes the following behaviour:
If I browse to http://server.io/proc/, then it should execute process.php , and /proc/ is not a folder!
Nice to have
Also it would be nice, if a direct execution of process.php is disabled - so only via /proc/ allowed.
What did I try already?
I've tried to input in my http.conf and default.conf inside the server{...}:
rewrite ^proc/?$ process.php last;
However thank you guys in advance.
Best Regards
finally after searching the web - I found a simple solution for my first problem.
Solution:
In my http.conf create this inside server{ ... }:
location /proc/ {
rewrite ^/proc/$ /process.php;
}
So, now when I call http://server.io/proc/ process.php will be executed.

First of all, this question has been asked a few times on stack, however, none of the answers seem to work for me.
I have a website which has a "pages" folder in the root, I want to store all of my website pages in there.
Here's my structure
/pages/folder/folder2/index.php
I want to make it so the link displays:
https://wwww.website.com/folder/folder2/index.php
Removing the "/pages/" part of the URL, when I try all of the answers suggested previously, I get a 404 error.
Here is the htaccess I'm using
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^pages(/.*|)$ $1 [L,NC]
</IfModule>
and i also tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
This htaccess is in the root. I can't seem to get it working, can anyone offer any suggestions? Thank you!
Your second attempt looks fine, though it can be imporoved a bit:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?pages/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301]
That rule should work inside the http servers host configuration or in some dynamic configuration file (".htaccess" style file) if the http server's rewriting module is loaded. You definitely should prefer the first option, but if you really need to use a dynamic configuration file then take care that the interpretation of such files is configured at all and that the file is placed in your hosts's DOCUMENT_ROOT folder and is readable for the http server process.
If that does not work then you need to start debugging. In this case you will start by monitoring your http server's error log file while making test requests. If no hint appears in there you need to enable rewrite logging which allows you to learn what exactly is going on inside the rewriting engine. See the official dpcumentation for the apache rewriting module for that. As typcial for OpenSource software it is of excellent quality and comes with great examples.
I am trying to convert this apache .htaccess rule to something nginx can use.
This .htaccess is a part of this tutorial to make a php REST api. ( http://www.androidhive.info/2014/01/how-to-create-rest-api-for-android-app-using-php-slim-and-mysql-day-23/ )
The idea of this .htaccess file is to make a REST get/post request to "task_manager/v1/register/"
and it redirects you to "task_manager/v1/index.php"
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php [QSA,L]
I've tried one idea from stackoverflow, one from winginx, and I tried writing one myself and they all sort of flop.
Nginx config:
something I tried and failed so I commented it out.
rewrite ^/task_manager/v1/(/)$ /task_manager/v1/index.php redirect;
something I saw in stackexchange and didn't help, so I commented it out
rewrite ^task_manager/api/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ task_manager/api/v1/index.php?class=$1&method=$2? last;
was recommended to use winginx, didn't work. :c
location / {
if (!-e $request_filename){
rewrite ^(.*)$task_manager/v1/index.php break;
}
}
Please advise me.
phew. Good thing I was only pretending to be dumb.
anyways, so yeah I was trying to make that android REST API work in nginx.
I took a look at another post ( nginx configuration for a RESTful API )
and basically I just needed to change a few things.
original:
rewrite ^/api/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /apiv1.php?class=$1&method=$2? last;
Edit:
rewrite ^/task_manager/v1/([^/]+)/?$ /task_manager/v1/index.php?method=$2? last;
It seems to work for this specific tutorial. I ran into a different problem with php5-fpm but at least when I use REST Client on chrome it either gives me a 500 error (logs show something in my config isn't parsed correctly) or it will tell me "no there are no users"/"no you are not logged in" but at least this part is solved.
I am struggling with an age old problem. I inherited a site with some pretty good SEO and one glaring problem. The entire site is hosted on the /site/ subdirectory. I have decided that I need to load the site at the root. So something like http://example.org/site/index.php will instead redirect to /index.php (<-- that counted as a link, if it is unclear I mean it to be the root of the site/index.php.)
We use joomla for our backend and there are hundreds of pages on the site at this point. I have struggled getting any of the redirects I have seen to do what I want them to do. Basically, any page our patrons visit from an old link with /site/ in it should be redirected to the exact same link, but without the star.
I am open to just loading the page from /site/ and making it look like it is from root. It is my understanding that this can be done with some advances mod-rewrite (http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/85/Using+.htaccess+rewrite+rules#gs ?) but I have not had any success yet. I run a beta site that mimics the parent site in a subdomain that I have already moved from /site/ to / so I can test a lot of .htaccess configs.
Any help is appreciated... thanks!
Just to be sure: you want http://example.org/site/foo/bar/baz.php to go to http://example.org/foo/bar/baz.php, that is, to remove (via redirect) the /site prefix if it's there, but not touch the URL otherwise, right? If so, it depends on which server you're using:
If your server is Apache, you could use something like this in .htaccess:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ http://example.com/$1
If it is nginx, add this to the server {...} session of your site's file (usually symlinked inside /etc/nginx/sites-enabled):
location ~ ^/site/(.*)$ { rewrite ^/site/(.*)$ /$1 permanent; }
Here is a good explanation on how such pattern-based redirects can be set up in both servers.
This seems to be the working answer that I will go with. Basically, this needs put into the directory that you are wanting to redirect from, in my case, that was root/site/.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^www.beta.example.org$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://beta.example.org/$1 [r=301,nc,L]
I assume the first rule ignores www? I'd love to work around that but am not sure exactly why it would have been created anyway. this will rewrite any URL that accesses that .htaccess file (inside your subdirectory) and direct you to the same URL without the subdirectory listing. It doesn't really work with the index.php rewrite tool, but that is fine because it still reaches the correct page.
If anyone has a better option for me with use with Joomla I would be glad to hear it. But, I tihnk this is what I will go with for now because it is giving me great results.
if your server is apache2, you can configure there
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sitio.com
ServerAlias www.sitio.com
DocumentRoot /home/user/public_html/sitio/
...
</VirtualHost>
You need permissions for this change
I have my .htaccess file working in localhost. But its not working if i upload it in server. It throws me 404 error.
I am using Parallel Plesk 11.0.9 and i can't find conf file for the same on that. If anyone has any idea how to fix it or any workaround for url rewriting would be great help.
Anyway here's the code in htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^store/living/Hutches-Armoires-Side-tables-Coffee-tables-Entertainment-centers? store.php?store=Living
RewriteRule ^store/dining/sideboards-buffets-chairs-benches-Dining-table$ store.php?store=Dining
RewriteRule ^store/working/Bookshelves-Study-tables$ store.php?store=Working
RewriteRule ^store/accessories/Boxes-Photo-Frames-Mirror-Frames-Block-Stamps-and-Book-stands$ store.php?store=Accessories
RewriteRule ^store/hallway/Console-tables-Armoires$ store.php?store=Hallway
RewriteRule ^store/sleeping/Bed-Frames-Night-Stands-Dressers-Mirror-framesBed-Linens-Canopies-Curtains$ store.php?store=Sleeping
You may need to wrap your rewrite rules with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
...
</IfModule>
...probably a good idea anyway.
Or you could try putting your rules into a vhost.conf file in the conf directory immediately below the location of your httpdocs directory. For example on a Centos machine the web root might be
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs
and you should have a:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf
directory, this will contain a set of pregenerated Apache config files that Plesk creates. If there isn't already create a vhost.conf and add your rules between a set of
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ >
... your rules ...
</Directory>
Once you've created the vhost.conf file you will need to tell plesk about it with
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain domain.com
If you still can't get it to work you can add a log for mod_rewrite, see this relevant SO answer for details
Is your Plesk running IIS and supporting PHP via FastCGI or ISAPI? If that is the case, check whether URL Rewrite is installed and follow this guide to translate htaccess (for apache) into web.config (for IIS)
I'm just going to explain my problem here :
http://mysite.com/movie/20000
should be rewritten to
http://mysite.com/movie.php?id=20000
my htaccess file :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]+)$ movie.php?id=$1
On my localhost WAMP installation this works fine, but when I put it online on my linux host it doesn't completely work. It does go to the movie.php page, but it seems it gives no GET parameter id.
Edit :
if I use
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie([0-9]+)$ movie.php?id=$1
then
http://mysite.com/movie20000
Goes to the correct page, but I would like /movie/20000 and not just /movie20000
It also seems that my host automatically rewrites a visit to mysite.com/movie to mysite.com/movie.php
After searching for a long time, and pulling some of my lovely hair out I found the solution.
I just added
Options -MultiViews
to my htaccess file and that fixed it.
Why? Because .php was being added to urls without an extension, which I really did not need.
This should work.
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]+)$ http://mysite.com/movie.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
Don't forget the [NC, L] it means Case insensitive, last rule... If you don't, it will continue to process through your htaccess rules, maybe triggering other ones.
Still, the stuff below is good advice.... :)
Check to see if the Rewrite module is loading with apache. Look for this line in the httpd.conf file:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Check to see if your apache config allows for .htaccess files for your system or in the virtual host definition.
Also, test with a simpler rewrite catch all and test that alone to see if it's working at all like this (get rid of everything else in your htaccess file to limit the test):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.google.com [L,R=301]
Any request to your site should go to google if the configuration for apache is correctly set.
