I have the following working rule in my htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
However this prevents my admin panel to work. Is it possible to exclude a directory and its subfolders from this rule?
Exclude folders like this (exclude panel folder):
/panel/
/panel/a-subfolder/
/panel/a-subfolder/deeper/
They should work without the rule, without the ending slash as well like /panel/a-subfolder
Don't exclude folders like this:
/another-unknown-folder/
/some-other-folder/folder/folder2/
They should follow the rule, force slash as the rule does today.
You can add an additional RewriteCond for exclusion:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/panel/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

I have the following project structure:
There is a folder called 'views' containing all my HTML files.
The problem now is, that my url looks like this: http://example.com/views/index, http://example.com/views/account,...
How do I use mod_rewrite in my .htaccess to get rid of the views part in the URL?
I just want that when someone visits http://example.com, it actually sees the file http://example.com/views/index.php.
I've got very close with this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(views)
RewriteRule (.*) /views/$1
But the problem is that now all my other folders are not found anymore. My CSS from the folder css ain't found, also my media files are not found, and also not my PHP.
Edit:
This is my new .htaccess:
# browser requests PHP
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^\ ]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)\.php$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# check to see if the request is for a PHP file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /$1.php
RewriteRule ^(css|js|media|partials|php)($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(views)
RewriteRule (.*) /views/$1
It gets very close. On the third line from the bottom I was able to exclude all folders for the rewrite_rule, resulting in media, css, js,... loading. But the problem is that that line, also removes the rewrite_rule above.
In the folder php there are files like example.php, test.php,... But I refer to it without extension. But that's not working anymore because the third rule from the bottom ignores ALL rewrite_rules; so also the rules removing the PHP-extension.
So how do I exclude folders for only a specific rewrite_rule?
Edit2:
Solved.
Correct .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# browser requests PHP
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^\ ]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)\.php$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# check to see if the request is for a PHP file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /$1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(views|css|js|media|partials|php)
RewriteRule (.*) /views/$1
Your current rule adds prefix /views to all URLs, including those starting with /css, /js, /media and so on. You need to exclude those.
I know how to exclude folders, file types but i don't know how to exclude a link that contain a specific word.
I have this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://en.domain.com/$1 [QSA,L]
How to exclude from this rule the links that have at beginning: index.php?a=admin
This should do the trick:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^a=admin
RewriteRule (.*) http://en.domain.com/$1 [QSA,L]
Here, we're adding a condition that states that the rewrite may only occur if the host is www.domain.com, the file being requested is index.php, and the query string does not being with a=admin.
So, www.domain.com/test will redirect to en.domain.com/test, but www.domain.com/index.php?a=admin will not redirect at all.
I want to have a multi language site. Now, I have 2 domains. The first one is the main domain. That is website.nl. And i have a domain alias, website.org. So the 2 domains share the same public_html folder.
What I want is that:
website.nl will use the file /index.php/$1 and
website.org will use the file /gb/index.php/$1 (So when the url is website.org/test you will use the file /gb/index.php/test (No url redirect)
I found on another topic on stackoverflow the following:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} website.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gb/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
But this htaccess file won't work. I will get a 500 error. That's all.
Can someone see what's going wrong?
Your rules are looping, otherwise the 2 rules will mess with each other and loop indefinitely (e.g. requesting /foo will result in /index.php/index.php/index.php/index.php... etc thus returning 500). You need to add some conditions to stop the looping. Try changing the conditions and rules to:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} website.org
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gb/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gb/index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gb/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
i have a strange apache mod_rewrite problem. I need to hide a sub-directory from the user, but redirect every request to that sub-directory. I found several quite similar issues on stackoverflow, but nothing really fits, so i decided to post a new question.
My .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ foo/$1 [QSA,L]
The document-root only contains the following folder/files:
/foo/bar/index.html
I would now expect that example.com/bar and example.com/bar/ would just show me the contents of index.html.
Instead example.com/bar/ show me the content as expected but example.com/bar redirects me with a 301 to example.com/bar/foo/ an then shows the contents. I really don't get why there is a 301 redirect in this case.
When i put something this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*\.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [QSA,L]
on top of that rule it seems to work, but that would require me to list every used file extension...
Is there any other way i can omit the redirect, the folder "bar" should never be seen by an outside user.
Thanks in advance!
1st rewrite rule is redirect from /foo/(.) to ($1) and second - from (.) to $1.
just idea, this has not been tested.
Better late than never...
Got it working with a simple RewriteRule which append a / to every url that doesn't have on.
# only directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# exclude there directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/excluded-dirs
# exclude these extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.excluded-extension$
# exclude request that already have a /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
This is my htaccess file
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/chat/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/m/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/__admin/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gzip_headers.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/phpfreechat/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/_temp/
RewriteRule ^.+\.php$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.css gzip_headers.php [L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.js gzip_headers.php [L]
RewriteRule ^classifieds/ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/movies/.
RewriteRule ^movies/ /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/games/.
RewriteRule ^games/ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^jntu/ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^news/ /index.php [L]
My idea behind this basically is,
forward everything to public_html/index.php (except some directories)
forward all js and css to gzip file, ( i am doing this basically because im not jsut gzipping them but also compressing in tha phpfile)
the problem is when I load images from subdirectories the are redirected to index.php as well, so just creating conditions for those directories and storing images in them like RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/games/.
I would like to make it simple to do stuff like this
forward everything to index.php (except some conditions on top)
forward css and js to gzip file
load images and flash and some other mime types straight away only if they exists. (jpg|gif|png|swf|flv|mp4|3gp|mp3|zip|rar|exe)
Something like logical AND REQUEST_URI and -f flag I guess
Try these rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule .*\.(js|css)$ gzip_headers.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .+\.(jpg|gif|png|swf|flv|mp4|3gp|mp3|zip|rar|exe)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(gzip_headers|index)\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(chat|m|__admin|phpfreechat|_temp)/
RewriteRule ^.+\.php$ index.php [L]
I'm not sure why your images are being redirected if your rule only redirects URIs ending with '.php'. That should exclude all other file extensions from the rule.
I'm also not sure what you mean by needing 'logical and'. When you have a number of RewriteCond lines before a RewriteRule those conditions are ANDed together and the rule is only applied if they all are true.
You can't use modrewrite to check for the existance of files and say "if the file exists, don't apply any rules, just serve up the file".
I think the best solution would be to either use a single top-level directory called 'static' or 'images' where you put all your files and exclude it from the rules, or have a wider-matching rule.
So for example you could make 'static' or 'images' a special directory name and exclude any url that contains .*/images/.* from the rules. Then /something/images/image.jpg and /something/else/images/image.jpg would both be excluded and the file would be served up.
Another hacky way would be to serve the files up from PHP. So in PHP you would translate $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] into a filename and see if it exists. If it does, you can write the file contents to the PHP output stream, although this won't be as efficient as leaving it up to Apache, and actually I really would not recommend it.
But like I said before, if your rule is only matching files that end with .php then your images should not be getting redirected. I would figure out why this is happening first. There is a way to turn on debug logging for mod_rewrite but you'll have to Google that.
