I have a simple .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/locations/$ location.php
The folder "mydomain.com/locations/" does not exist but the locations.php does.
According to the hoster the module mode_rewrite is enabled on the server by default but still my rewrite rule won't work.
The request "mydomain.com/locations/" answers with 404.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help :)
RewriteRule uses a relative path starting without a leading slash on htaccess context . So remove the slash
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^locations/$ location.php

I just learnt about url-rewrite for my website with .htacess. My actual url is:
localhost/index.php?view=some-page
So i write this RewriteRule like this:
RewriteRule ^/([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?view=$1 [NC,L]
When i typed localhost/homepage on my browser, It does not work, it displays error 404 object not found. What have i done wrong please show me.
Many thanks
This should work in your DocumentRoot/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?view=$1 [QSA,L]
Leading slash is not matched in htaccess.
are you using apache?

When i was playing around with rewrites i had to enable it and tell apache where the pages were stored
I have this snippet in my .htaccess file to defend against anyone trying to get into the app directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/app.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/?$ index.php?r=$1 [L,QSA]
And although it works when I go to http://domain/app/, if I make a request to http://domain/app, it redirects to http://domain/app/?r=app.
Does anyone know what needs to be changed to stop such redirection?
Try the DirectorySlash directive that can be use globally or per directory.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryslash
try using
[L]
instead of
[L,QSA]
I'm having some mod_rewrite problems with my .htaccess..
RewriteBase /folder
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ basic.php?url=$1 [L]
Above is what I'm currently using. However, I have no idea what I'm doing to be honest as I'm just cycling through the internet trying to figure this out.
Basically, for my website, if you type in
www.domain.com/folder/xxx/
I want it to basically be www.domain.com/folder/basic.php?url=xxx.
For some reason, all that does is cause a 404 error :/
So can someone please politely point me in the right direction?
Ok, I will explain using your htaccess.
RewriteEngine on
Turn on the Rewrite Module to enable URL rewriting
RewriteBase /folder
Rewrite the Base Directory to directory name folder
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ basic.php?url=$1 [L]
Remap every request make using the folder/***** to basic.php?url=********
Note: RewriteEngine On Should be the first statement on your case
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ folder/basic.php?url=$1 [L]
This is more of a problem with regexs than .htaccess files.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

I have already configured my apache(mod_rewrite,alias,allowOverride), and I am trying to rewrite
http://localhost/b33m/view_blog_details.php?post_id=4
To
http://localhost/b33m/blogs/4
so that user can simply type in the second url and it would work. But I am getting a 404 not found error.
I am using WAMP on XP, and my .htaccess is in www->b33m
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^b33m/blogs/([^/]*)$ /b33m/view_blog_details.php?post_id=$1 [L]
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blogs/(\d+)$ view_blog_details.php?post_id=$1 [L]
Note the / in the beginning of each URL have been omitted.
Try the following:
EDIT: I updated the code which hopefully will work better
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /b33m
RewriteRule ^blogs/([0-9]+)$ /view_blog_details.php?post_id=$1 [L]
Since you expect an id I'd rather use:
Moreover shouldn't you put a trailing slash?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/b33m/blogs/(\d+)$ /b33m/view_blog_details.php?post_id=$1 [L]
Try adding this in your hosts file:
www.localhost.com 127.0.0.1
.htaccess sometimes doesn't like localhost
I am trying to rewrite the URL using the mod_rewrite apache module.
I am trying to use it as below :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wants/testing.htm wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
I have created a .htaccess file in the directory from where the files are accessed.
The mod_rewrite is also enabled.
With all these done, i still haven't been able to get it working.
Can someone please help me with this? Please let me know if i am missing something
Thanks in Advance,
Gnanesh
As per OP's comment:
The URL shows
mydomain.com/wants.php?wantid=123. I
need to make it look like
mydomain.com/wants/123
This should work for your case:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wants/([0-9]+)$ /wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
It will allow you to use http://yoursite.com/wants/123 and will silently rewrite it to wants.php?wantid=123
I think a leading slash (or rather the lack thereof) might be yoru problem:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wants/testing.htm /wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
Otherwise Apache might be looking for the PHP file in /wants/wants.php as it'll be treating it as a relative URL.
Hmm, so I gave it some thought and I guess you could do something like this ( only changed the regexp according to your comment, if I understood correctly ):
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^wants/\d+$ /wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
But I guess you could also leave out the $1 reference, and still be able to access the id in your wants.php. So
RewriteRule ^wants/\d+$ /wants.php [L]
should work too, and you can then use something like
<?php
$request = split('/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])[1];
?>
in your wants.php where the last element of the array would be your id ( or anything else you ever decide to rewrite and send to the script ).
If you want to use the rule in the .htaccess file in your wants directory, you have to strip the contextual wants/ from the start of the pattern. So just:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ /wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
Otherwise, if you want to use the rule in the .htaccess file in your root directory:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^wants/([0-9]+)$ wants.php?wantid=$1 [L]
