I have searched for hours to try to find a solution. I must be missing something. I'm trying to clean up my urls.
I'm having my index page generate pages based on an action. Basically:
<?php
include("header.htm");
$action = $_GET['action'];
$action = basename($action);
if (!empty($_GET['action'])) {
if (file_exists("$action.htm")
} else {
include("index.htm");
}
include("footer.htm");
?>
I am using MAMP and Mod_rewrite is running when I look at phpInfo.
I created a new .htaccess file in the same folder as my index.php from above. I used bad code to see if it threw an error, and it did, so I know it's being referenced. Here is exactly what I have in it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/galleries$ /?action=galleries
</IfModule>
I have changed every httpd.conf file to AllowOverride all for the directory.
I see an abundance of people having this issue but have still not found what I am missing. Please help?

My urls currently look like this: http://www.morrisononline.com/index.php?p=contact
I would like to rewrite them to http://www.morrisononline.com/contact
The content for (in this case) contact comes from the directory /pages/ (www.morrisononline.com/pages/contact.php)
I have tried the following in the .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
I have also tried other combinations too (I'm not very good at this and trying lots of suggestions from other forum posts etc) but nothing has any effect. No error messages and no rewrites either. Did I do it wrong or could there be another command before that, that overrides this?
Do I have to refresh some cache or restart the server for this to work?
Make sure you have AllowOverride All or at least AllowOverride FileInfo in your site's config for the site's document root. And make sure the htaccess file is in the document root, is readable by everyone. If it's still not working, make sure that you've got AccessFileName set to .htaccess.
I'm trying to solve this for more than two hours now.
I have a personal site which uses .htaccess to manage urls.
It looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
...
RewriteRule ^sklad/?$ index.php?action=sklad
RewriteRule ^sklad/user/([0-9]+)?$ index.php?action=sklad&user=$1
RewriteRule ^sklad/folder/(.+)?$ index.php?action=sklad&folder=$1
RewriteRule ^sklad/file/(.+)?$ engine/ajax/sklad.php?file=$1
RewriteRule ^sklad/logout/?$ index.php?action=sklad&op=logout
...
RewriteRule ^admin/?$ admin.php
RewriteRule ^admin/news/?$ admin.php?action=news
the first five ones work fine. The admin/ one works fine. But when I try to access admin/news/, I get a blank page. No errors displayed or logged by Apache, and no output. admin.php?action=news is working fine.
Both sklad/ and admin/ folders physically exist on the server. BUT when I rename the admin/ folder to something else OR change the the last RewriteRule to something like
RewriteRule ^admin123/news/?$ admin.php?action=news
I can access admin123/news/. If it has something to do with the actual folder existing on the server, then why the first five rules are working? This doesn't make sense.
I'm out of ideas, hope someone here helps...
Yes, it's called news.php... I renamed the file and exerything is fine now, thanks! Didn't know about this, pretty unobvious bug (or not?)
It's not a bug, it sounds like content negotiation (via mod_negotiation) is turned on and it's doing something you don't want. Negotiation can be turned on via a type map or the MultiViews option. Typemaps are a little explicit to setup, so I'm assuming since you don't know why this is happening, you haven't set of a specific type that maps to news.php. So you've probably got Multiviews turned on. You can turn it off by either removing it from an Options statement:
# remove this word -----------v
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
This could be anywhere, in your htaccess, server config, vhost config, some config include file, etc. So you can also explicitly unset it in your htaccess file (as long as you aren't also explicitly setting it in the same file):
Options -Multiviews
I am not to good with htaccess and RegExp but i think admin/news will fall into your first htaccess rule.
RewriteRule ^admin/?$ admin.php
It wont proceed on your second rule on admin which is:
RewriteRule ^admin/news/?$ admin.php?action=news
Its the same problem I was facing before.
Try to modify your admin.php, echo/print something when there is no params pass. Something like this:
if($_GET['action'])
{
echo 'With Parameters';
}
else
{
echo 'No Parameters pass';
}
Debugged it that way.
im new here.
Im trying to rewrite some urls on my site only for some reason no matter what I try I cannot get them to work!
My directory on my server has the following...
index.php
user-profile.php
.htaccess
On my index.php there is a number of users that all have a view more details button that links through to user-profiles and posts an ID using GET method as such...
http://mysite.com/user-profile.php?userID=2&firstName=Martin&lastName=FAM
However Id like to format them as so...
http://mysite.com/people/2/Martin/FAM
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
Can anybody give me some reason as too why this isnt working?
The regex should be
^people/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$
You need to make sure you have this option set in your document root directory in Apache's httpd.conf file:
AllowOverride All
I'm trying to replace all requested images with a test image inside my .htaccess file
(running Apache2.2/Coldfusion8) like so:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|?:JPE?G|gif|png)$ test.jpg
</IfModule>
The test.jpg is in the same folder as my .htaccess file, which I have cleared everything from except the above snippet.
Problem is, still nothing happens.
Question:
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT:
Must be something in the httpd.conf settings I guess. I have set:
AllowOverride All
in the document root directory, but still doesn't do anything.
Thanks for help!
try adding some random text to the htaccess and see if you get a 500 error message. If not, htaccess is not enabled.
I'm experimenting with mod_rewrite for the first time (I'm a web newbie, but trying to learn). I'm trying to get bob.html to redirect to alice.html (read: URL stays the same, page content is alice.html). Both files are in /var/www/. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 w/Apache 2.2.16.
Here's what works in the .htaccess file placed in the /var/www/ directory:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^bob.html$ alice.html
</IfModule>
This behaves as expected, but it does not work when moved to the httpd.conf file (just learning best practices w/performance and such). I read somewhere that when using mod_rewrite in httpd.conf file, leading slashes are required, so my httpd.conf file looks like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/bob.html$ /alice.html
</IfModule>
I also read that /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default needs to have AllowOverride set to All.
<Directory /var/www>
...
AllowOverride All
...
</Directory>
I think that's just for use with .htaccess but I wasn't sure so I just left it in.
With all of these configuration settings, the redirection does not work. I've tested to make sure the file itself is being read (someone suggested httpd.conf isn't used anymore and apache2.conf is used instead) by inserting erroneous code. I've taken a look at a couple other questions/answers but I still cant figure it out.
Edit: It should be noted that I'm using /etc/init.d/apache2 restart after each change to httpd.conf to restart Apache and (hopefully) reload the configuration.
Try wrapping the rewriterules in your httpd.conf file in <Location /></Location> tags. The seems to alter the behavior making it more similar to the .htaccess file.
