I have a website running on a server. It's just an index.html with a hello world text. Also, I have a folder named /vpn which contains various txt files and an index.html file.
If I try to access the URL domain/vpn, it shows me the content of index.html.
I just need to show the files inside the folder vpn when the user tries to access domain/vpn.
I created an .htaccess file with the next content in the root:
RewriteEngine on
<If "%{REQUEST_URI} == '/vpn/'">
DirectoryIndex disabled
Options +Indexes
</If>
When I try to access to vpn, it shows me a 404 error, the requested URL was not found on this server.
.htaccess is applying the DirectoryIndex rule (If a delete it, it shows me index.html content again), but not the Options +Indexes one.
I tried the same example in localhost (with XAMPP) and it's working fine.
What can be the problem?
PD: This is the content of apache2.conf file:
When I try to acces to vpn, it shows me a 404 error, the requested URL was not found on this server.
If you are getting a "404 Not Found" then it would imply that mod_autoindex is not actually installed on your server (consequently Options +Indexes has no effect - although it would seem from your server config that Indexes is perhaps already enabled).
mod_autoindex is the module responsible for generating the directory listings.
I created an .htaccess file with the next content in the root:
Personally, I would create an additional .htaccess file in the /vpn directory instead:
DirectoryIndex disabled
Options +Indexes
And disable Indexes (and set DirectoryIndex) in the root .htaccess file.
NB: RewriteEngine has no place here, unless you are overriding a parent config.
If I try to access the url "domain/vpn"
Note that you should be requesting domain/vpn/ (with a trailing slash). If you omit the trailing slash then mod_dir issues a 301 redirect to append it.
I'm using html5boilerplate .htaccess file on one of my projects and i'm having some problems trying to make it works properly.
The main problem is that on sub-directories the index.hmtl file won't load automatically if you type in the address bar its main directory path.
If you try to access to http://provaeur.altervista.org/sitovino/en/wines/ you can see an example. In the directory "wines" there is actually an index.html file but instead of the index you can see a 403 error :(
I've tried to comment these lines:
<IfModule mod_autoindex.c>
Options -Indexes
</IfModule>
but it seems not to be the solution.
Here you can find a .txt copy of my .htaccess file:

Thanks for helping an italian noob :)
I have my .htaccess file working in localhost. But its not working if i upload it in server. It throws me 404 error.
I am using Parallel Plesk 11.0.9 and i can't find conf file for the same on that. If anyone has any idea how to fix it or any workaround for url rewriting would be great help.
Anyway here's the code in htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^store/living/Hutches-Armoires-Side-tables-Coffee-tables-Entertainment-centers? store.php?store=Living
RewriteRule ^store/dining/sideboards-buffets-chairs-benches-Dining-table$ store.php?store=Dining
RewriteRule ^store/working/Bookshelves-Study-tables$ store.php?store=Working
RewriteRule ^store/accessories/Boxes-Photo-Frames-Mirror-Frames-Block-Stamps-and-Book-stands$ store.php?store=Accessories
RewriteRule ^store/hallway/Console-tables-Armoires$ store.php?store=Hallway
RewriteRule ^store/sleeping/Bed-Frames-Night-Stands-Dressers-Mirror-framesBed-Linens-Canopies-Curtains$ store.php?store=Sleeping
You may need to wrap your rewrite rules with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
...
</IfModule>
...probably a good idea anyway.
Or you could try putting your rules into a vhost.conf file in the conf directory immediately below the location of your httpdocs directory. For example on a Centos machine the web root might be
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs
and you should have a:
/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/conf
directory, this will contain a set of pregenerated Apache config files that Plesk creates. If there isn't already create a vhost.conf and add your rules between a set of
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/ >
... your rules ...
</Directory>
Once you've created the vhost.conf file you will need to tell plesk about it with
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain domain.com
If you still can't get it to work you can add a log for mod_rewrite, see this relevant SO answer for details
Is your Plesk running IIS and supporting PHP via FastCGI or ISAPI? If that is the case, check whether URL Rewrite is installed and follow this guide to translate htaccess (for apache) into web.config (for IIS)
i m using XAMPP but i m not able to use .htaccess file at local host. i m trying so many times.. Online working good. but local host showing [The requested URL was not found on this server]
My root folder is real
localhost/acre/real/property_available.php
localhost/acre/real/properties
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /acre/real/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^properties$ /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
</IfModule>
Please
Just had a similar issue
Resolved it by checking in httpd.conf
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All <--- make sure this is not set to "None"
It is worth bearing in mind I tried (from Mark's answer) the "put garbage in the .htaccess" which did give a server error - but even though it was being read, it wasn't being acted on due to no overrides allowed.
In conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, add the line AllowOverride All for all the websites that you are having problem with
<VirtualHost example.site:80>
# rest of the stuff
<Directory "c:\Projects\example.site">
Require all granted
AllowOverride All <-----This line is required
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Try
<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
...
...
...
</IfModule>
instead of <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Without seeing your system it's hard to tell what's wrong but try the following (comment answer if these didn't work WITH log error messages)
[STOP your Apache server instance. Ensure it's not running!]
1) move apache server/install to a folder that has no long file names and spaces
2) check httpd.conf in install\conf folder and look for AccessFileName. If it's .htaccess change it to a file name windows accepts (e.g. conf.htaccess)
3) double-check that your htaccess file gets read: add some uninterpretable garbage to it and start server: you should get an Error 500. If you don't, file is not getting read, re-visit httpd.conf file (if that looks OK, check if this is the only file which defines htaccess and it's location and it does at one place -within the file- only; also check if both httpd.conf and htaccess files are accessible: not encrypted, file access rights are not limited, drive/path available -and no long folder path and file names-)STOP Apache again, then go on:
4) If you have IIS too on your system, stop it (uninstall it too if you can) from services.msc
5) Add the following to the top of your valid htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/path/logs/rewrite.log" #make sure path is there!
RewriteLogLevel 9
6) Empty your [apache]\logs folder (if you use another folder, then that one :)
7) Check the following entries are set and correct:
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/your-php5-path/php-cgi.exe"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/your-php5-path/php5apache2.dll"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Avoid long path names and spaces in folder names for phpX install too!
8) START apache server
You can do all the steps above or go one-by-one, your call. But at the end of the day make sure you tried everything above!
If system still blows up and you can't fix it, copy&paste error message(s) from log folder for further assistance
I had a similar problem. But the problem was in the file name '.htaccess', because the Windows doesn't let the file's name begin with a ".", the solution was rename the file with a CMD command. "rename c:\xampp\htdocs\htaccess.txt .htaccess"
for xampp vm on MacOS capitan, high sierra, MacOS Mojave (10.12+), you can follow these
1. mount /opt/lampp
2. explore the folder
3. open terminal from the folder
4. cd to `htdocs`>yourapp (ex: techaz.co)
5. vim .htaccess
6. paste your .htaccess content (that is suggested on options-permalink.php)
For windows user, make sure to closely look at this section.
RewriteRule ^properties$ /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
As said in Apache documentation :
The mod_rewrite module uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on a
PCRE regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.
So ^properties$ means Apache will only look for URL that has exact match with properties.
You might want to try this code.
RewriteRule properties /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
So Apache will see the URL that has properties and rewrite it to /property_available.php/
I've setup xampp for my localhost as well, I've not done anything with the files created by xampp during or after setup.
But in the '.htaccess' file, make sure you've set it to something like this. Works for me, and this should not make any difference for you.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^filename/?$ filename.html
Change .html to whatever format you're using.
Make sure your install is clean, and just make the .htaccess file.
Also remember to put one .htaccess file for each directory (don't really know if you can use ONE file for all folders, but to be safe, just do this and it will always work.
Edit the .htaccess file, so the first line reads 'Test.':
Test.
Set the default handler
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
...
Has anyone had an issue where you try and do a redirect of a .pl file and that file just shows up as forbidden?
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:
(http://www.oldsite.com/folder/sample.pl)
needs to redirect to...
(http://www.newsite.com/newpage/)
Here is what I have put in the .htaccess file which is located in folder on the old site (because I don't have access to the web root .htaccess file):
#the first line should allow the pearl file extension to execute
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sample\.pl$ http://www\.newsite\.newpage/ [R=301,NC]
Though, I only get a forbidden page when I go to (http://www.newsite/folder/sample.pl). Even without the .htaccess file in place I still get a forbidden page. It's only .pl files that cause this forbidden page. If I go to any of these fake pages (sample.asp, sample.jsp) they bring up the proper "Page Not Found" message.
Can anyone think of any ideas to get around this .pl extension issue?
Thank you!
