I have a website in php which has some pages:
www.example.com/news
www.example.com/people
www.example.com/music
On each of these pages is an overview of content. If you click, for example, on a link on www.example.com/news, an article opens with that url using a template (www.example.com/article.php?url='example-of-article-url')
For each of these pages there is a rewrite needed. The displayed url should be www.example.com/news/example-of-article-url
and this should acces the article.php file. The news directory is virtual. The www.example.com/news, www.example.com/people, www.example.com/music are being rewritten by this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
What I have been trying is:
RewriteRule ^news/(.*) article.php?url='$1' [R=301,L]
However, when this is loaded, css and images aren't. The content is generated thinking it's in the /news/ directory, thus unable to find the other files. I can't use canonical URL's because of SEO-reasons.
You should add:
<base href="/"/>
In your <head>section.
First of all dont forget to add this at the very start:
RewriteEngine On
Remove the Qoutes from '$1' your last line and try the method below instead.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ article.php?url=$1 [R=301,L]
To redirect with the contents of a whole directory to your location:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ article.php?url=$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Or you can do it this way too with a Slash on the Start:
Redirect the whole folder (news) to your new location:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?news/(.*)$ article.php?url=$1 [R=301,L]
or
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/news/(.*)$ article.php?url=$1 [R=301,L]
To redirect with the contents of a whole directory to your location:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/news/(.*)$ article.php?url=$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Best of Luck

I have a following sub domain and folder structure
https://subdomain.maindomain.com/companyName1/area/dashboard
I want to mod_rewrite to this
https://subdomain.maindomain.com/companyName1/area/
So that everything in "dashboard" loads, in "area"
I would like the .htaccess file to live in the area folder, as there are multiple companyNames
I've tried placing the following .htaccess in companyName1/area
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-s
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/dashboard/%{REQUEST_URI} -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dashboard/$1 [L]
However when visiting https://subdomain.maindomain.com/companyName1/area/ it just loads the index.html of that folder, and not of the /dashboard folder
With your shown samples, attempts please try following htaccess rules. Please make sure to keep these rules at the top of your htaccess file.
Also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /companyName1/area/
##For external redirect to area link.
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s.*/dashboard/?\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/dashboard/?$ /$1/? [R=301,L]
##For internal rewrite to dashboard folder here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.html [QSA,L]
Site Structure
/articles/Employment/Companies.php
/articles/Employment/Companies/.htaccess
/articles/Employment/Companies/index.php
.htaccess file reads
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ index.php [L]
So when you go to
/articles/Employment/Companies/[company type]
It is displaying the index.php page.
The Problem
I'm trying to link to
/articles/Employment/Companies.php
without the .php being displayed, however if I link to
/articles/Employment/Companies
it is going to
/articles/Employment/Companies/
What i'm Ideally Looking For
Understand why I my site is adding the / when linking to folder/hello
to strip out all .php so if you go to /hello it'll display /hello.php apart from in certain directories such as my current .htaccess file is located where /this or /that will display /index.php.
Please try with below, use from rewritecond with your existing rule what I am doing if the request is actually for php file which is not index.php then serve the extension less code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule !index.php$ $1.php [L]
I've just added a simple rewrite rule to my .htaccess file to drop .php from this page http://themeat.in/register.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ /$1/$2.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
but now when I go visit that page without the .php (http://themeat.in/register/) all my styles and files have vanished. When I open up the console I see the page name is being treated as a folder.
This is what the file path should be and was before the rewrite, http://themeat.in/css/styles.css
and this is what it is now,
http://themeat.in/register/css/styles.css
I guess it's got something to do with the trailing slash within the rewrite but I'm totally stumped at how to fix this problem? I need the .php dropped and I'd like to keep the trailing slash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

This is because of the rewritten urls. when the url is example.com/register/ apache thinks /register/ is a directory and appends that in front of all relative urls.
To solve this, You can add the following base tag in head section of your webpage :
<base href="/">

i got a site php based with some rules in the .htaccess file to get rid of file extentions in the url adress bar. Basically it takes http://netbureau.com.br/en/about.php/ and turns it into http://netbureau.com.br/en/about.
Here are the lines in the htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
The problem comes when i try to access the rss feed of the blog at http://netbureau.com.br/blog/?feed=rss2 and when i try to set custom permalinks for the blog at http://netbureau.com.br/blog. It gets messed up by the htaccess file.
So is there any way to disallow the RewriteRule for the /blog folder so that i can get back my rss link and set custom permalinks in the blog?
I know it's at the same time Wordpress related but it feels more connected to the htaccess file than Wp.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT #1:
I've set up the wordpress permalinks to the default structure which goes like this: http://netbureau.com.br/blog/?p=123 This made my rss link back for good.
The remaining problem is that Wordpress gives me its own rewriterule which is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
Is there a way to to still use the first rule to apply to the whole site except the /blo/ folder and apply the WP rule only to the /blog/ folder?
I've tried different combinations but without luck so far. I could only have the site without the custom links for the blog or the custom blog links and a 404 on the pages of the site.
Try:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog/?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
The !^/blog/? expression excludes any URI that starts with /blog
currently i have a /en/ folder that is empty except for a .htaccess with the following
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ../index.php?language=en$1 [NC]
i use it to eliminate the need for
index.php?language=en
in all my URLs. I would like to modify the htaccess in a way that i no longer need the /en/ folder with nothing but the htaccess inside. ideally i would like an htaccess in my root folder that reads the url and if it is www.example.com/en/ to rewrite to www.example.com/index.php?language=en
This should work for you:
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?language=en$1 [NC]
Put the following code in .htaccess file in your root folder.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ index.php?language=en$1 [L]
Here $1 will append rest of the url as well. The condition will also help if you request your files using direct url.
