I'm facing a strange issue with mod_rewrite RewriteRule in .htaccess.
Here's my minimal .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^phpinfo phpinfo.php [L]
The above Rewrite results in 404 Not Found. However, suffixing anything to ^phpinfo works which is unintended and undesired.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^phpinfophp phpinfo.php [L]
Please help me with making the actual RewriteRule work.
Thanks,
Shyam Singh
RewriteRule ^phpinfo phpinfo.php [L]
MultiViews often causes problems in instances likes this, because its job is to detected slightly misspelled URLs, multiple possible file matches (different extensions, etc.) and correct them – and it interferes here, because it sees a request for phpinfo and finds a corresponding file phpinfo.php
Deactivate it using Options -MultiViews, that should fix the problem.

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?
This link from step 6 helped me

When i was playing around with rewrites i had to enable it and tell apache where the pages were stored
I want to redirect website user to www.mywebsite/users.php?user=xyz when the user types http://xyz.mywebsite.com into the address bar where http://xyz.mywebsite.com is virtual and doesnt exist.
I am a beginner and doesnt know much about url rewriting. Tried to search google and stack overflow but didnt got the solution.
I started with this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).mobilehealthnig.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/users.php?subdomain=%1
</IfModule>
also tried this but none of these are working for me
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mywebsite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+).mywebsite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /users.php?subdoamin=%1
Ok, based on your additional input I suggest this setup:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mywebsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/users.php?subdomain=%1 [L]
</IfModule>
If that does not work (I take that from your comment), you have to check where the actual problem is:
does rewriting work at all?
does this rule do anything atall? what?
is that rule ignored? why?
What absolutely makes most sense in such cases is to turn on rewrite logging to see and understand what is actually happening inside the rewrite engine. Please take a look at the two commands RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel inside the manual mentioned. Enable a log level of maybe 7 and look what is logged when you make a single request. It should give you an idea of where to look for the cause of the problem.
I've just spent the last 2 hours trawling through Google and the Stackoverflow archives to see if I could find an answer to my question and instead of finding nothing, I've found too much! So unfortunately I'm having to add to the mountain of 301 redirect questions. Sorry. And thanks for taking a look at this one ;)
Basically, I've got a blog for which I'm looking to simplify the URL. Currently the URLs look like this:
http://tempertemper.net/post.php?s=2012-05-30-freeagent
I'd like them to look like this:
http://tempertemper.net/2012-05-30-freeagent
I've tried adding RewriteRule /(.*)$ /post.php?s=$1 to my .htaccess file but it's not having it.
The full file currently looks like this:
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://tempertemper.net/error.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tempertemper\.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !cron.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://tempertemper.net/$1 [R=301,L]
</ifModule>
I've tried adding this after the canonicalisation bit that redirects www. to non www.:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ post.php?s=$1
It sort of works. I can then link to http://tempertemper.net/2012-05-30-freeagent but the problem is, http://tempertemper.net/post.php?s=2012-05-30-freeagent still exists. This is more than likely bad for seo as I guess I'll have duplicate content, in the eyes of the search engines. I've tried putting a [R=301] on the end of the new line but it stops the new link working. Also tried putting the ,L in the square brackets and removing it from the canonicalisation command, but no joy (L is for last command, isn't it…?).
Basically, I'm after all URLs that generate or have generated with post.php?s= in them to permanently redirect to the ones without post.php?s= so that any links that come in to those pages already are redirected and any links in the future will direct straight to the new-look URL.
Hope that makes sense…
Thanks,
Martin :)
Apache actually fixes local paths => proper fully qualified names (my original assumption), but I see that your file actualy checks for the wrong files. Using your supplied file I think this will work as the file contents:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorDocument 404 http://tempertemper.net/error.php
RewriteEngine On
# don't redirect post.php to itself
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !post.php
# don't redirect error.php to post.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !error.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "/post.php?$1" [R=301,L]
I'm having some mod_rewrite problems with my .htaccess..
RewriteBase /folder
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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
http://www.regular-expressions.info/
I need to change the structure of the displayed client-side URL. I'm not too skilled using regex and coding for the .htaccess file. Basically, I have a structure that looks something like:
http://www.example.com/catalog/index.php?cat=lt&sec=lt1-1&id=nmlt10.
I would like this to be displayed in the address bar as:
http://www.example.com/catalog/lt/lt1-1/nmlt10.
This is what I came up with, but it has had no effect:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\$ /catalog/index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [L]
I tested and removed any other rules in the .htaccess file to ensure nothing was being overwritten. I'm on a shared hosting apache server, and know that mod_rewrite is enabled, because I use it to rewrite non-www to www urls. I don't receive and 500 error messages, I just do not notice any change at all. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Finally found a solution that worked:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]
Appreciate LazyOne's response to get me on the right track; however, when using:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]
I wasn't able to following links that were already placed on the site, it treated different directories as the variables, for example, when browsing to an image or file, say:
folder/folder/image.png
It would grab "folder" - "folder" - and "image" as the variables. I can see why that was happening, if anyone has a different solution or an explanation, please let me know, I'm always willing to learn.
Since your .htaccess is in website root folder, then you should use thus rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^catalog/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /catalog/index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]
If you place it in .htaccess in /catalog/ folder, then you can remove catalog from it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]
I have tested rule before posting -- works fine for me.
This rule (same as above) will check if URL is a file or folder and will only rewrite if it is not:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?cat=$1&sec=$2&id=$3 [QSA,L]
