I put an .htaccess file in the directory where I am hosting my site. /var/www/html
However it isnt being read.
I tried changing the AlowOverride in the httpd config file
<Directory /var/www/html>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
And my .htaccess works on my local server, however when I try it on my hosted server it doesnt read it at all.
Here is my .htaccess file for reference.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?week=$1
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/$ index.php?week=$1
Your .htaccess file could be being ignored for multiple reasons, so I would encourage you trying the following steps to determine the cause of your issue:
Can Apache read .htaccess? Check file permissions are set to something proper such as 0640 and make sure its group owner is www-data.
Is rewrite_mod enabled? Without it, RewriteEngine will not work. You can enable rewrites by running 2enmod rewrite with root permissions.
Have you restarted Apache since the last time you changed httpd.conf? In case not, restart it by running /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, again with root permissions.
If your website is still not working properly after trying these steps, check your Apache error logs. They're usually located in /var/log/apache2/error.log.
The easiest way to check if .htaccess file is loaded by apache is to add a line with wrong syntax into it. You should get 500 Internal Server Error after that if .htaccess file is being read. Remove this test line after that.
Then you may check that mod_rewrite is loaded. After that you may check that rewrite rules are working as intended with htaccess tester
Hi Can you please review if you had uncheck the below options -

I'm having a problem with a script. It doen't works with a htaccess file that is needed to work. Here's what the htaccess contains. I'm trying to install it on a wamp localhost. The code is:
#AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
#AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
Options All -Indexes
If I remove this it works:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
But this way the script loads but every page show error 404. Is there a way to resolve this problem??
It looks like you don't have the rewrite modules loaded. Find your httpd.conf file and make sure this line (or something similar) is uncommented:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Check that you have the the apache rewrite module loaded.
go to wamp_manager -> apache -> modules and look for rewrite_module in the list.
If it does not have a TICK beside it click it. Apache will be bounced ( stop, start ). Try again.
The rewite engine will not work without the required module loaded.
I had the same problem. To un-comment the line, remove the # in front of the line
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Worked for me in Wamp.
Directory of the httpd.conf file: C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf
This is one solution that solved the issue for me. Rewrite module was always enabled, used in IfModule rewrite_module, permissions were granted and .htaccess contents were fine, yet it still was 500 error trying to use rewrite module.
In httpd.conf by default:
This is a source of a 500 error if you try to use rewrite in .htaccess in some sub directory.
`
# Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
# explicitly permit access to web content directories in other
# <Directory> blocks below.
#
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
`
So one may want to use .htaccess with rewrite module in a specific directory. You would add a <directory> block for that directory. If one copies and pastes the directory block, you need to make sure the intent of the block you copy is correct for the directory you want to apply it to.
So for my intent this block, causes a 403 error, but does get rid of the 500 error.
<Directory "c:/Apache24/htdocs/store">
AllowOverride All
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Changing to this solved the issue:
<Directory "c:/Apache24/htdocs/store">
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
I suppose this is why the issue is commonly seen, but rarely solved in these threads. If I simply copied a different block, typed my own block, or had any understanding of what I was doing, this wouldn't have been an issue.
I can't say this solves everybody's issue, but I hate when people solve-and-run w/o enlightening the rest of us. So for those that did my mistake, this is the answer.
I have read that setting changes in httpd.conf are much better as compared to making changes in .htaccess as the later one is parsed at Runtime while .conf is parsed at the time of starting Apache. So, is it possible to have all the .htaccess functionality in httpd.conf or there are a few things that have to done in .htaccess only.
Also, can you suggest how to debug clean URL issues?
Basically, I am not able to get the clean URL working. I can access the show.php file but am not able to access the GET variables. Here is the .conf settings.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/show/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+) http://www.example.com/show.php?id=$1&img=$2 [L,R]
I have also added
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
in <Directory "/var/www/html">
Thanks.
As stated in the Apache manual on .htaccess, anything you can put in an .htaccess file can be put inside a <Directory> block within httpd.conf for better efficiency.
As for your issues with rewriting the URL, your first RewriteCond appears to only be matching URLs that aren't www.example.com (the ! in front is a negation modifier). Remove the ! and see if that fixes the issue. (You probably should remove the second RewriteCond as well, until you have the first one matching; otherwise, debugging problems will be more difficult.)
I have followed from many links to solve this problem. However, It doesn't work with my project.
Move .htaccess file to CI root directory
Config about mod_rewrite in .htaccess file (all structures that I found on the Google)
change config[‘index_page’] to an empty
Set config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI' or 'QUERY_STRING'
then, it shown
Not Found The requested URL /class/method was not found on this
server.
I don't know how to fixed it further. I spent so long time for this problem.
Install a fresh copy of CodeIgniter
Change $config['index_page'] to = '';
Copy this to your .htaccess
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Visit http://yourhost/codeigniter/welcome/index.
Does it work? If not, change the last line of the .htaccess above to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
If it does not work at this point, check if your Apache supports mod_rewrite and it is enabled.
Ensure that mod_rewrite is enabled: If you're running Ubuntu open a terminal and type sudo a2enmod rewrite.
Furthermore, ensure that your .htaccess file is even being parsed. Again, on Ubuntu locate: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and modify the <Directory> directive to:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

I have a problem with one of the url's in my website , it doesn't seem to comply to my .htaccess rules. The problem I'm experiencing is the following.
I access my site using url: http://www.website.com/sitemap
I have the following .htaccess rules:
ReWriteEngine On
php_value include_path ".:/Webserver/blabla/boo"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cms[A-Za-z0-9\-_/]*$
ReWriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\-_/]*)$ /site/index.php/
ReWriteRule ^$ /site/index.php/
So I would expect this URL call to rewrite to /site/index.php but the point is it never goes there and instead opens sitemap.xml which is in the webroot. It does work for all other URL's in my site. What could be the case here?
I found the culprit. It was due to the MultiViews option set in httpd.conf and each individual site .conf file. I disabled the MultiViews option in the per site .conf file setting it to -MultiViews
Maybe this question fits better in Serverfault. Is there a posibility for me to transfer it?
I think I know how to hide the files but how do I use mod_rewrite to allow only the web service to be called in the same directory?
Here is the directory/file structure
/var/www/html/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.server.php
/var/www/html/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.client.php
/var/www/html/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.class.php
/var/www/html/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.ini
/var/www/html/xmlrpc/logs
Important note: /var/www/html/xmlrpc/logs has 777 permission
before you start harping on me I plan to move this into a non public directory and give the correct permissions. But I was asked to see if I could hide it with the .htaccess file.
.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My hidden files"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/xmlrpc/.pswds
Require valid-user
.pswds
user:5/abcde1abcdE
Also I'm a newbie with mod_rewite/mod_alias and need this URL:
http://127.0.0.1/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.server.php
to be this:
http://127.0.0.1/xmlrpc/v1/
How does one do this?
Also on know on the virtual host setup in Apache you can set the log file paths/names, can this be done from the .htaccess file as well?
Examples are welcome as this is a learning experience for me as well.
Ah mod_rewrite. Try this in the xmlrpc directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^v1/$ xmlrpc.server.php [L]
Some questions though - does xmlrpc.server.php take any get parameters? Can you guarantee that the url will always include a trailing slash?
To enforce a trailing slash as well as some other stuff, try this:
# Allows direct linking to files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#Checks if the url is missing a slash, if so, evaluate rule below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1/$1/ [L,R=301]
The last rule will have to be adjusted depending on where you put the .htaccess file. If it's at the root, then it will work for all lower directories. If it's in the xmlrpc folder, then you can leave off the localhost.
Also remember to restrict access to the .htaccess file:
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
Someone else will have to answer the other questions - not as familiar with that.
