I have two pages say
http://assistque.com/services.php?prod_id=35&prod_url=Operating%20System%20–%20Windows
and
http://assistque.com/sub_services.php?sp_id=13&sp_url=Technical%20Support%20For%20KASPERSKY
i wrote two rules for two different pages but the for the second page it uses first rule .
Please help
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /services.php?prod_id=$1&prod_url=$2
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /sub_services.php?sp_id=$1&sp_url=$2
This is because the patterns in the both rules are the same, try changing them into something unique:
RewriteRule ^services/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /services.php?prod_id=$1&prod_url=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^subservice/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /sub_services.php?sp_id=$1&sp_url=$2 [L]
Then in your links you add something like:
operating systems windows
Note, that you should not use spaces inside an url, so in this case I assume those will be replaced with an - character.
It may also be better to narrow down allowed characters and numbers in your rewrite rule:
# will match services/<number>/<string>.html
# the NC flag states that the rule is case insensitive
RewriteRule services/([0-9]+)/([a-z-]+)\.html$ /services.php?prod_id=$1&prod_url=$2 [NC,L]

I have a problem with making a 301 redirection. I was using "flat" link system on website with RewriteRule:
domain.com/rubric-news
domain.com/article-815/news-title
RewriteRule ^rubric-([^*]*) news.php?kat=$1
RewriteRule ^article-([^*]*)/([^*]*)-([^*]*) article.php?id=$1&kat=$2&title=$3
Today I started to build better internal links system for SEO so now RewriteRules looks like this:
domain.com/news
domain.com/news/title-815
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ news.php?kat=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^*]*)/([^*]*)-([^*]*) article.php?id=$3&kat=$1&title=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
now I should make 301 redirection from old links to the new ones and I don't know how to make it. Can anyone help me?))
The redirect directives would follow exactly the same principles as you have already used for the rewrites. (Although there are potential issues with the rewrites/regex you are currently using - see below).
Try it like this before your existing rewrites:
# Redirect "/rubric-<news>" to "/<news>"
RewriteRule ^rubric-([a-z0-9]+)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect "/article-<815>/<news>-<title>" to "/<news>/<title>-<815>"
RewriteRule ^article-(\d+)/(\w+)-(\w+)$ /$2/$3-$1 [R=301,L]
I have assumed your "id" parameter is all numeric (as per your example). (Although your existing directives do not enforce this.)
Any query string will be be passed through by default (you do not need the QSA flag here).
You should test first with 302 (temporary) redirects to avoid potential caching issues. Clear your browser cache before testing.
Aside:
RewriteRule ^([^*]*)/([^*]*)-([^*]*) article.php?id=$3&kat=$1&title=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
The regex [^*]* matches anything that is not an asterisk (*) 0 or more times. You should be matching anything that is not a slash 1 or more times, ie. [^/]+. And you are missing the end-of-string anchor on the end of the regex (as you have on the preceding rule). With the very generic regex you are currently using (ie. [^*]*) this does not strictly matter, however, it is potentially ambiguous, ...
Your regex should be more restrictive (similar to the preceding rule). If your id consists of digits only then match only digits. If the title is only alphanumeric then match only letters and numbers, not everything. Currentrly it "looks like" the news and title parameters could contain hyphens, but that would introduce an ambiguity.
The NC flag is naturally superfluous here.
Consider something like this instead:
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)-(\d+)$ article.php?id=$3&kat=$1&title=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
If your title can contain hyphens then change the regex accordingly. eg. ^(\w+)/([\w-]+)-(\d+)$
Let's say I have phpbb3 forums software and I want to prettify some URLs. I put this in my htaccess:
RewriteRule ^cake viewforum.php?f=5&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
which works for domain.tld/cake and domain.tld/cake/ but it also catches domain.tld/cake-recipes and domain.tld/cake-recipes/ for instance, and so rewrites them.
How can I write this so that it only matches that exact URL, not URLs that begin with that string?
You need to add $ in order to delimit your rule pattern.
RewriteRule ^cake/?$ viewforum.php?f=5 [L,QSA]
The above rule will now only match domain.tld/cake or domain.tld/cake/.
Also, you can avoid using %{QUERY_STRING} by adding QSA flag (which does the same, but in a more elegant way)
Below is my code for .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)$ /products/product-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /products/product-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)$ /buy/buy-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /buy/buy-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2
First rule is working fine but its not taking the second rule...Unable to understand what is happening here...
Original URL's are like this
www.example.com/products/product-full-view.php?src=somevalue&id=somevalue
and for second one
www.example.com/buy/buy-full-view.php?src=somevalue&id=somevalue
Please help me to run second rule also.
Thanks in advance
You're trying to match the same pattern, give or take an optional trailing slash, four times. By the time you reach the last two rules, your URL is already rewritten to something else.
You probably want something that looks more like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/([0-9]+)/?$ /products/product-full-view.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^buy/([0-9]+)/?$ /buy/buy-full-view.php?id=$1 [L]
Or:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /products/product-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^buy/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /buy/buy-full-view.php?src=$1&id=$2 [L]
Or something to that order anyway.
Note the stub and the [L] each time: the products/ and buy/ avoid that the same URL refers to two different locations, and the [L] (for "Last") tells the rewrite engine to stop processing rules when it gets matched.
If a URL matches the second rule, it also matches the first rule. After applying the first rule, the resulting URL no longer matches the second rule. That's why the second rule is never applied.
I am trying to rewrite URLs through .htaccess and what I want is that a rule be taken into account only if the URL is like "www.mysite.com/basedir/directory/file.htm".
I don't want "www.mysite.com/basedir/file.htm" or "www.mysite.com/basedir/directory/directory/file.htm", I want the exact described structure. At the moment I am trying to do it with this:
RewriteRule ^(basedir)/([^/\.]+)/(.*)\.(htm)$ /template.php?&page=$3 [L]
but it doesn't work. It accepts any number of directories after basedir.
Thanks for your help
Your second match area needs to have a character exclusion like the first:
RewriteRule ^(basedir)/([^/\.]+)/([^/]*)\.(htm)$ /template.php?&page=$3 [L]
That way you don't allow additional slashes to be matched, only the two explicit slashes earlier in the pattern.
Also, what exactly are you trying to match with $3? You only need to use parentheses around things that you need to match. If $3 is supposed to match file.htm, then you could instead write:
RewriteRule ^basedir/[^/\.]+/([^/]*\.htm)$ /template.php?&page=$1 [L]
or if it should just match "file" then:
RewriteRule ^basedir/[^/\.]+/([^/]*)\.htm$ /template.php?&page=$1 [L]
Is it possible to edit htacces in such a way that only the following url is rewritten and the rest isn't?
http://www.example.com/index.php?x=foobar
to
http://www.example.com/foobar/
I want the pages not having x=... as a variable to behave normally
I got the following but that doesn't work
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*)/ index.php?x=$1
RewriteCond $1 !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css|html|swf|mp3|wav|txt)$
Who can help me?
First off, the RewriteCond must be put before the RewriteRule to which it belongs.
But I think that you need another approach for your case, something like this:
RewriteRule (.*)\.php - [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ index.php?x=$1
The first rule Passes Through (PT) every PHP page, so the second rule is only applied to all non-PHP requests.
That second rule only applies to a "simple path", no matter if this path has a dot in it or not (e.g. hello.gif/ will match, too).
If this does not work for you, then you might consider one of these points to start further research:
the pattern ([^\.]*) matches everything that does not have a dot in it
see RewriteCond to skip rule if file or directory exists for RewriteConds where the following RewriteRule is only used if the request does not point to an existing file or directory
Hope this helps.
