htaccess - only rewrite if "/" (Slash) contained - .htaccess

I am having some issues with Apache rewriting rules.
On my webserver the following files with a leading "s" exist (exerpt):
search.php
stats.php
status.php
Now, i want to rewrite search.php to simply s.
But when i now call status.php, my search.php is being included.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^stats$ stats.php
RewriteRule ^status$ status.php
RewriteRule ^s search.php # <---
RewriteRule ^live$ live.php
RewriteRule ^about$ about.php
RewriteRule ^i$ item.php
RewriteRule ^compare$ compare.php
DirectoryIndex home.php
How can i force Apache to only rewrite search.php to s if the URL is like
http://localhost/s/PARAM1/...
I tryed RewriteRule ^s/ search.php without success.
EDIT: 404 Error at .../s/PARAM1/..., stats, etc. works.
I hope you'll understand my issue although I'm not very familiar with the rewriting rules.

Reorder your rules and make use of regex to reduce your rules like this:
DirectoryIndex home.php
RewriteEngine on
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(statu?s|live|about|compare)$ $1.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^i$ item.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^s/ search.php [L,NC]

Rewrite different page with .htaccess url rewrite

I'd like to use .htaccess for url rewrite.
In my previous post you have shown me how to do it to the index.php page but now would like to do also for other pages like browser.error.php, etc.
To do so I tried to add the last 2 rows in the .htaccess, but unfortunately if I try the link www.mysite/browser-error/ it doesn't work - Return me in the index page.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png|js|ico)$ - [L,NC]
# rule to ignore files and directories from all rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/(.*)\/?$ index.php?op=$1&idric=$2&sp=$3 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)\/?$ index.php?op=$1&idric=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/?$ index.php?op=$1 [L,QSA]
#NEW ADDED ROWS
RewriteRule ^browser-error/(.*)\/?$ browser.error.php?r=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^browser-error\/?$ browser.error.php [L]
Where I am doing wrong? How would I go? Thank you
I would suggest avoid use of .* and use [^/]+ instead with re-ordering of your rules:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png|js|ico)$ - [L,NC]
# rule to ignore files and directories from all rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
#NEW ADDED ROWS
RewriteRule ^browser-error/([^/]+)/?$ browser.error.php?r=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteRule ^browser-error/?$ browser.error.php [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?op=$1&idric=$2&sp=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?op=$1&idric=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?op=$1 [L,QSA]
You have rules before preceding this rule. That makes your petition change to index.php before your rule is reached. (They all have the L flag that makes them be the LAST rule processed). As they are not restricted to not be applied when url is browser-error, they will run on every ///* or simialr petition.
Then, you should add RewriteCond to negate the browser-error url in your other RewriteRules as this:
Please try, and comment if that´s not what you need of it does not work as expected.
Hope it helps

.htaccess rewrite rule giving server error

I think I just need a second pair of eyes for this as I can't see why i'm getting a server error.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^Gig/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ gig.php
RewriteRule ^Gig/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ gig.php
#allow non caps
RewriteRule ^gig/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ gig.php
RewriteRule ^gig/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ gig.php
Edit:
I have now viewed the log and the reason is there are far too many internal redirects. I myself am not too competent at mod_rewrites etc so please have a look.
#redirect so home page shows /Home
Redirect /home.php http://localhost/Home
#add php extension
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
Redirect /home.php http://localhost/Home
# redirect to .php-less link if requested directly
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\s.+\.php\sHTTP/.+
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php /$1 [R=301,L]
#redirect www to non-www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$1 [L,R=301]
#remove trailing slash
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
#allow artistprofile nice url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/?$ artist_profile.php
#info nice url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/[Aa]bout/?$ artist_about.php
#gigs nice url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/[Gg]igs/?$ artist_gigs.php
#tracks nice url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/[Tt]racks/?$ artist_tracks.php
#gig nice url
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^[Gg]ig/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/?$ gig.php
That's all the rewrites in the .htaccess file
Edit:
The problem is the adding PHP extension part
#add php extension
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
I think its due to the ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) being after the file name.
You need to escape your - characters when they're inside brackets. You can also shorten your code to the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^[Gg]ig/([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)/?$ gig.php
# Escape it! ^^
Why can we shorten it like this?
[Gg] means "The character G or g"
/? means "/ repeated 0 or 1 time"

htaccess rewrite %3F and %3D to ? and =

I'm wanna rewrite all incoming URLs who at end have %3Ffull%3D1 to ?full=1
I'm try this in htaccess but not work:
RewriteRule ^(.*)%3F(.+)%3D(.+)$ $1?$2=$3 [R=301]
here is full .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)%3F(.+)%3D(.+)$ $1?$2=$3 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I recently implemented the following .htaccess code to accomplish this - I've modified it to fit your scenario of using the "full" parameter.
# replace %3F with ? and %3D with =
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^\%]+)\%3[Ff]full\%3[dD]([^\ ]+)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule \.*$ http://www.mywebsite.com/%1?full=%2 [R=301,L]
Try adding the L flag in the rule that handles the query string:
RewriteRule ^(.*)%3F(.+)%3D(.+)$ $1?$2=$3 [L,R=301]
otherwise, the rewritten URI could end up getting handled by the last rule (RewriteRule . /index.php [L]) and yet still get redirected because the URI was flagged for a 301. Also, if the original URL that you are trying to redirect contains %3Ffull%3D1 in the query string itself, then your rule isn't going to match that, you'd need something like:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)%3Ffull%3D1(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?%1&full=%2 [L,R=301]

How can I redirect all sub-directories to root using htaccess or httpd.conf?

I have an index file that builds content based on n PATH_INFO variables.
Example:
site.com/A/B/n/
should use index.php at either:
site.com/index.php?var1=A&var2=B&varN=n
- or -
site.com/index.php/A/B/n/
instead of:
site.com/A/B/n/index.php || which doesn't exist ||
So far I've tried a number of variations of:
RedirectMatch ^/.+/.*$ /
with no success.
I have an inelegant and unscalable solution here:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3&p4=$4 [NC,L]
Problems with this solution:
Inelegant and unscalable, requires manual line for each subdirectory
Fails with non alphanumeric characters (primarily +,= and &) ex. site.com/ab&c/de+f/
(note, even changing the regex to ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-\+\=\&]+)/?$ does little to help and actually makes it error out entirely)
Can you help?
Option 1: (site.com/index.php?var1=A&var2=B&varN=n):
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# do not do anything for already existing files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3&p4=$4 [QSA,L]
1. You had [NC] flag ... so there were no need to have A-Z in your pattern.
2. Instead of [a-zA-Z0-9_-\+\=\&] or [a-zA-Z0-9_-] I use [^/] which means any character except slash /.
3. [QSA] flag was added to preserve existing query string.
Option 2: (site.com/index.php/A/B/n/):
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 [L]
In reality, if you do not plan to show that URL anywhere (like, 301 redirect etc), the last line can easily be replaced by RewriteRule .* index.php [L] -- you will look for original URL using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in your PHP code anyway.
Adding the following will redirect all traffic (for files that do not exist) to the index page:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [NC]
Then, you can make your decision in index.php by parsing the 'REQUEST_URI'
RewriteRule ^/.+ / [R=301,L]
any url with any kind of path beyond root will be redirected to root.
^ = start of url
/ = a slash
.+ = 1 or more characters

.htaccess mod_rewrite - how to exclude directory from rewrite rule

I have 8 lines of rewrite rules in my .htaccess file. I need to exclude two physical directories on my server from these rules, so they can become accessible. For now all requests are sent to index.php file.
Directories to exclude: "admin" and "user".
So http requests: http://www.domain.com/admin/ should not be passed to index.php file.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?mod=error404
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/] )/([^/] )\.html$ index.php?lang=$1&mod=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/] )/$ index.php?lang=$1&mod=home [L]
Try this rule before your other rules:
RewriteRule ^(admin|user)($|/) - [L]
This will end the rewriting process.
What you could also do is put a .htaccess file containing
RewriteEngine Off
In the folders you want to exclude from being rewritten (by the rules in a .htaccess file that's higher up in the tree). Simple but effective.
add a condition to check for the admin directory, something like:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(admin|user)/
RewriteRule ^([^/] )/([^/] )\.html$ index.php?lang=$1&mod=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(admin|user)/
RewriteRule ^([^/] )/$ index.php?lang=$1&mod=home [L]
If you want to remove a particular directory from the rule (meaning, you want to remove the directory foo) ,you can use :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/foo/$
RewriteRule !index\.php$ /index.php [L]
The rewriteRule above will rewrite all requestes to /index.php excluding requests for /foo/ .
To exclude all existent directries, you will need to use the following condition above your rule :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
the following rule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule !index\.php$ /index.php [L]
rewrites everything (except directries) to /index.php .
We used the following mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my-folder/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects (permanently with a 301 redirect) all traffic to the site to http://www.newdomain.com, except requests to resources in the /test and /my-folder directories. We transfer the user to the exact resource they requested by using the (.*) capture group and then including $1 in the new URL. Mind the spaces.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(wordpress)($|/) - [L]
