In my application I have a file called sampleaudios.php
My URL look like this
www.test.com/sampleaudios.php
But I want my url to be www.test.com/sampleaudios because my client forgot to add .php in that and the url has been mailed to customers.
Kindly help me to achive this.
You don't need a rewrite rule. Just add this line in your .htaccess:
Options +MultiViews
Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.

I try to rewrite some of my URLs with a .htaccess file but it didn't work as expected.
This is the rewrite rule in my .htaccess file :
RewriteRule ^(index|administration)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)(\.php)?$ index.php?c=$1&t=$2 [QSA]
When I go on www.example.com/index/main, I get a 404 error code.
So I try to change my rewrite rule to
RewriteRule ^index.php$ index.php?c=index&t=main [QSA]
Then I go to www.example.com/index.php and the webpage displays perfectly with all the datas in $_GET (c = index and t = main).
So I don't know why my first rule is not working. Let me see if you have any idea.
Is it possible that my server wants to enter the index folder, then the main folder for my first rule without taking care of my .htaccess (www.example.com/index/main) ?
You need to ensure that MultiViews (part of mod_negotiation) is disabled for this to work correctly. So, add the following at top of your .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
If MultiViews is enabled (it's disabled by default, but some hosts do sometimes enable this in the server config) then when you request /index/main where /index.php already exists as a physical file then mod_negotiation will make an internal request for index.php before mod_rewrite is able to process the request. (If index.html also exists, then this might be found first.)
(MultiViews essentially enables extensionless URLs by mocking up type maps and searching for files in the directory - with the same basename - that would return a response with an appropriate mime-type.)
If this happens then your mod-rewrite directive is essentially ignored (the pattern does not match, since it would need to check for index.php) and index.php is called without the URL parameters that your mod_rewrite directive would otherwise append.
it perfectly works by disabling the MultiViews Option in my .htaccess
This would ordinarily imply its your script (ie. index.php) that is triggering the 404 (perhaps due to missing URL parameters?), rather than Apache itself?
However, if you were seeing an Apache generated 404 then it would suggest either:
You also have an index.html file, which is found before index.php. .html files do not ordinarily accept path-info (ie. /main) so would trigger a 404.
OR, AcceptPathInfo Off is explicitly set elsewhere in the config, which would trigger a 404 when the request is internally rewritten to /index.php/main (by mod_negotiation).
is there a way to replace a url being called on all pages in the source code via htaccess? I'm unable to change the code on the pages but have access to htaccess.
Example: each page calls a stylesheet form an external url. I want to change this via htacess to point to my own url elsewhere.
I tried this without success:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule
^http://3rdpartyurl.com/style.css$ http://differenturl.com/style.css [L]
</IfModule>
This worked for a different project successfully when the url being replaced both resided on my own domain but the urls called on all pages are for an external url.
Thank you
If it is a third party URL that isn't on your server, you won't be able to redirect it with any configuration on your server.
You could edit your code to change the URLs.
You could also use an Apache filter to modify the output to substitute the URLs before they are sent to the client.
xlate is the name of the filter, it will be applied to all HTML files and the command that will be executed is sed s#oldURL#newURL#g
ExtFilterDefine xlate mode=output cmd="/bin/sed s#oldURL#newURL#g"
<Directory /var/www/html/stuff>
AddOutputFilter xlate html
</Directory>
In .htaccess file inside my www/public folder, I see Options -MultiViews, could anyone explain to me what this line of code does?
Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.
a need redirect
http://www.mysite.com/product.php?id_product=216
to
http://www.mysite.com/category/newProduct.html
I try to add a line in htacces
redirect 301 /product.php?id_product=216 http://www.mysite.com/category/newProduct.html
but dont work.
If I add
Redirect /product.php http://www.mysite.com/category/newProduct.html
All links like
http://www.mysite.com/product.php
http://www.mysite.com/product.php?id_product=216
http://www.mysite.com/product.php?id_product=219
Go to homepage http://www.mysite.com/
Any idea. THX
Check the following:
Make sure your file is called .htaccess, not htaccess as you say above.
If you're using FTP to transfer it to the server, use ASCII rather than binary transfer mode.
Make sure the .htaccess file is in a directory where the Apache AllowOverride directory option is on if you're using apache web server.
I have a subdirectory setup with a static website inside.
But when I go to www.site.com/directory/ it doesn't show the index page, only www.site.com/directory/index.html works.
Is there a way for .htaccess to rewrite this?
I can't just forward all urls because there are also other pages like www.site.com/directory/other.html that still need to work.
Inside /directory/ it's enough that you put an .htaccess file with the directive:
DirectoryIndex index.html
If it still does not work, maybe there are other server directives conflicting with it.
In Apache config you should enable AllowOverride so you could set different options in .htaccess. In that file you could set the DirectoryIndex directive.
