I am trying to change base_url on my drupal 7 website, but failed to do it and google a lot, still could not solve it .
I am running localhost/drupal "on my local server. but I want to run it like
" localhost ". ( sorry I have to get rid of http://, otherwise it doesnot let me post)
How to get rid of folder in the url. I know I need to change $base_url on sites/default/setting.php to
$base_url = 'localhost'; // NO trailing slash! ( sorry I have to get rid of http://, otherwise it doesnot let me post)
And in the .htaccess file I am so confused what should I change. People online have their own solution, some said they work , some could not . Could someone give me some suggesttion ?
I assume this has to do with where you have placed your files.
In your file system, remove the 'drupal' directory and place all the files within that at /var/www/html ... instead of /var/www/html/drupal, if that's how it is currently set up.
I feel your pain; I've had this trouble myself before and I believe I had to alter both the settings.php and the htaccess (but try one at a time to begin with). I'm fairly sure that the section below in your .htaccess is what needs changing (just remove the hash from in front of the RewriteBase line). If you're unsure of what you're doing, make a copy of your .htaccess as htaccess.txt and then you can always switch back over if things get nasty.
# Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a
# VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.
# For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and
# modify the following line:
# RewriteBase /drupal
I just realised that what you need is a re-write rule in an .htaccess file within your root folder (not the one that's inside the drupal folder). First, undo any edits you've already made, then create an .htaccess file in the same folder that contains your drupal folder and in it, add:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /drupal [L]
That should send any traffic from the root into the drupal file structure. If you get issues with strange css, or urls that include the /drupal path, you'll need to revisit the other options in the /drupal/.htaccess file and your settings.php file in order to get it all working correctly.
However, going down this route, you may as well just copy all the files and folders into the root directory anyway (as the first answer suggested), assuming you're not going to be running multiple sites. If you do want to be testing multiple sites, you can just change the RewriteRul above to whatever site directory you're wanting to test in future.

right now my url looks like this:
http://domain.com/en/c/product%2C-product2%2C-product3/82
where last number is category numer.
And im trying to rewrite it and redirect user to url which should look this one:
http://domain.com/82/product-product2-product3
The clue is I want to hide "en/c/" part and clean url from commas and blank spaces. I'm completely green in rewriting.
Any ideas?
You can use these 2 rules in your root .htaccess for that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en/c/([^,\s]*)[,\s]+([^,\s]*)/(\d+)/?$ $3/$1$2 [NC,L,NE,R=302]
RewriteRule ^(en/c)/([^,\s]*)[,\s]+(.*)/(\d+)/?$ $1/$2$3/$4 [NC,L]
In order for this to work, we need to tell the server to internally redirect all requests for the URL "url1" to "url2.php". We want this to happen internally, because we don't want the URL in the browser's address bar to change.
To accomplish this, we need to first create a text document called ".htaccess" to contain our rules. It must be named exactly that (not ".htaccess.txt" or "rules.htaccess"). This would be placed in the root directory of the server (the same folder as "url2.php" in our example). There may already be an .htaccess file there, in which case we should edit that rather than overwrite it.
The .htaccess file is a configuration file for the server. If there are errors in the file, the server will display an error message (usually with an error code of "500").
If you are transferring the file to the server using FTP, you must make sure it is transferred using the ASCII mode, rather than BINARY. We use this file to perform 2 simple tasks in this instance - first, to tell Apache to turn on the rewrite engine, and second, to tell apache what rewriting rule we want it to use. We need to add the following to the file:
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^url1/?$ url2.php [NC,L] # Handle requests for "url1"
Hi I want to remove the index.php in my url. I tried alot of methods but none of them work. All of them reponse 500 error or could not find folder. any one can help me please. I just use normal joomla page dont have any thing special but removing index.php seem impossible to me
This is link to my website http://www.website.com/index.php/vn/
I am using joomla 2.5
Hi i fixed it. on some sever we have to do a little modified to the htaccess not just remove .txt and add . in front of it.
In my case, I need to add . in to the line "RewriteBase /" => "RewriteBase /."
What you are looking for is an option to turn on search engine friendly URLs. To completely get rid of "index.php" you need to be running Joomla on Apache server.
Rename "htaccess.txt" file in your root Joomla directory to ".htaccess".
Site > Global Configuration > Site > SEO Settings and set these settings:
Search Engine Friendly URLs - Yes
Use URL rewriting - Yes
Adds Suffix to URL - No
Unicode Aliases - No

I am trying to get pretty urls using htaccess for SLIR image resizing plugin.
I want to rewrite something like below:
Before Rewrite:
localhost/img/600x400/slider/image.jpg
After Rewrite
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img/slider/image.jpg
But the following code is returning a 500 Internal server error...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]{1,4})x([0-9]{1,4})/(.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png) application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=$2&h=$3&i=$1/$4.$5 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Please help me.....
UPDATE
I thought it was a File Permissions issue...
so I checked all the related directories and files, surprisingly there were all 755/644.
Then I directly checked the /application/public/slir/index.php. It was not accessible.
I created another file named hello.php in the same slir directory and hello.php was accessible.
Then I moved the SLIR directory to the another folder named public. Here, both the index.php and hello.php were accessible.
After that, I moved SLIR directory to back to the original scripts folder. In scripts folder, hello.php is accessible but index.php is not accessible.
Now, Both files have same permissions and are in same folder.. I dont know what is happening here... :/ :/
Someone please help me......
In case anyone else is looking at this - the problem I found was these two lines in the htaccess file:
php_value auto_prepend_file none
&
php_value auto_append_file none
some servers don't allow them.
moving them to my php.ini file solved it for me:
auto-prepend-file = none
auto-append-file = none
That is probably because you are editing the .htaccess file with a Windows based editor like notepad. Notepad adds some characters to the file which you can't see, but they mess with the .htaccess. I recommend using an editor like Notepad++ and setting the mode to Unix, so it won't mess with the server..
Speaking technically that is because Linux and Windows have different type of EOL ( End Of Line ) so that notepad adds some characters to the end of every line to go to the next line, but Unix won't recognize them, because it has it's own type of EOL..
Slashes are normally forbidden in query strings, but you can enable them by setting
AllowEncodedSlashes directive.
You may also want your rewrite rule to use percent encoding for slashes (that is %2F) so after rewrite:
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img%2Fslider%2Fimage.jpg

Has anyone used Smart Image Resizer on subdomain sites?
The problem is the subdomain...
Ok, I'm clueless here...
I need to rewrite a directory structure and all sub-directories within it to a directory within the same server, but a root that is before the directory.
For example:
http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder
and all directories called upon after folder. Such as folder/sub_folder or folder/afolder/anotherfolder, it needs to include ALL sub-directories within the folder directory.
should be redirected to this:
http://www.mydomain.com
How do I do this via a .htaccess file within the folder path http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder?
Please someone help.
Thanks guys :)
The files within the directory structure still need to be accessible for that structure when called via PHP, but I don't want people being able to browse to http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder and be shown all subdirectories within that folderpath and/or all files. Same thing for all sub-directories that follow that folder path.
I'd like to be able to place the .htaccess file within the http://www.mydomain.com/Themes/default/css/folder directory on the server, but don't know exactly what code to use for this.
ALSO, even more challenging... The domain name can change, so I'd rather not use the domain name within the .htaccess file, instead perhaps use .. or . to go up a directory or a different method of grabbing the domain name within the .htaccess file.
Create a .htaccess file in /Themes/default/css/folder and place these lines there (it requires mod_rewrite):
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,L]
It will redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) all requests to a folder to a homepage. If file is requested, it will allow it.
If you want to have it working for folders as well as files then remove the RewriteCond line -- it will redirect ALL requests (even for non-existing URLs) to a homepage.
If you will see "500 Internal Server Error" after creating such file, then it is your server configuration: mod_rewrite may not be enabled or it's directives (RewriteRule, RewriteCond, RewriteEngine) are not allowed to be placed in .htaccess. In any case -- check Apache's error log for exact error message (it will give you the exact reason).

My htaccess file is the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/post/([0-9]+) /blog.php?post=$1
RewriteRule ^blog/page/([0-9]+) /blog.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^work/([0-9]+) /work.php?ID=$1
The work.php rule is working, but the two blog rules aren't. They used to all work, but I recently moved my server. Any ideas why this would be?
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
Woah, I noticed that I had a work folder, but no blog folder, so I made one, and now this works. Any ideas why?
I just set up a (virtual) server on my local Apache 2.2 installation, running PHP 5.2 as a module. The server's document root contained only php files to (simplistically) process the examples you gave above (just echoing the parameters from $_GET). My .htaccess file at the document root contained only what you specified above, and nothing else. The document root did not contain the subdirectories /work or /blog (or /blog/post or /blog/page).
My setup did not have any problems at all rewriting the SEO-friendly URLs to the proper PHP files, which in turn echoed the parameter values I expected from $_GET.
There is something other than mod_rewrite requiring the existence of the subdirectories, and Apache is hitting (and thus requiring) it before it processes the rewrite rules. Not sure what it is, but it does not appear to be mod_rewrite, given the rules you have above.
