I'm using mod_rewrite for rewriting my links as follows. I defined a redirect from /test/1234_5678_... to /test.php?id=1234 as follows:
RewriteRule test/(.*)_(.*)$ test.php?id=$1
It works perfectely. Now I wanted to add the following redirect: /test/1234_5678_.../print to /test.php?id=1234&print. Therefore I added the following line before the one above. The redirect is not working and it seems as if only the second rule applies. Am I doing anything wrong with the pattern matching? Is it a problem that there can be more than one underscore and I only used one in the pattern?
RewriteRule test/(.*)_(.*)/print$ test.php?id=$1&print
RewriteRule test/(.*)_(.*)$ test.php?id=$1
Both rules work fine for me, but you probably want to change the first grouping to ([0-9]+) or ([^_]+), and the second group to [^/]+, and add some L flags:
RewriteRule test/([^_]+)_([^/]+)/print$ test.php?id=$1&print [L]
RewriteRule test/([^_]+)_([^/]+)$ test.php?id=$1 [L]

We currently have a .htaccess RewriteRule that's incorrectly (or correctly as the rule is incorrect) redirecting a URL.
The Rule
RewriteRule ^holiday-ecards/?.*$ /appindex.php [L]
The desired redirects for this are:
http://domain.com/holiday-ecards/
http://domain.com/holiday-ecards/1/
http://domain.com/holiday-ecards/1/2
http://domain.com/holiday-ecards/1/2/3
However, it seems to also be redirecting the following, which is undesired:
http://domain.com/holiday-ecards-business/
EDIT
/appindex.php
This is taking care of the app routing and works as intended.
A number of ways you could do it, one would be setting a rewrite condition to not touch URI's that have holiday-ecards plus hyphen, like so:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/holiday-ecards-.*$
RewriteRule ^holiday-ecards/?.*$ /appindex.php [L]
Not sure how many variations you have of URI's with holiday-ecards in them.
RewriteRule ^holiday-ecards/?.*$ /appindex.php [L]
(Note that this is an internal rewrite, not a redirect.)
The above RewriteRule pattern makes the slash after holiday-ecards optional (so it will also match holiday-ecards-business). However, in the example URLs that should be rewritten, the slash is mandatory. So, it would appear that you just need to make it mandatory (?), for example:
RewriteRule ^holiday-ecards/ /appindex.php [L]
The trailing pattern .*$ is superfluous.
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=$2 [L]
Or something to that order anyway.
Note the stub and the [L] each time: the products/ and buy/ avoid that the same URL refers to two different locations, and the [L] (for "Last") tells the rewrite engine to stop processing rules when it gets matched.
If a URL matches the second rule, it also matches the first rule. After applying the first rule, the resulting URL no longer matches the second rule. That's why the second rule is never applied.
I have these links in my website:
www.example.org/folder/files.php?file=folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf
and I want redirect to :
www.example.org/files/folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/files/2009.pdf
I tried :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
but doesn't work!
any help?
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
There are two issues with this rule ... first, what you are matching needs to appear first in the rule, then what you are rewriting appears second - you have that backwards.
Once you reverse that, though, you run into the second issue - you can't match query strings in a RewriteRule, you need to match them in a RewriteCond:
To match www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf and redirect it to www.example.org/files/2009.pdf you would do:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^force&file=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/files.php$ /files/%1 [R=301, L]
The %1 matches what's in the parentheses in the RewriteCond.
Search on google first. The first thing displayed on google for htaccess is htaccess redirect. I think
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html (same line with a space) should work. Go to http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/242/How+do+I+redirect+my+site+using+a+.htaccess+file%3F . Php would also do the work. Just goolgle things before asking them.
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.
I have the following code in the my .htaccess file and the top Rewrite works fine the bottem one does not I know why but I dont kno how to fix it.
Its seeing RewriteRule ^([^/]*).html index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L] as the top rewrite command becuase of the hightlighed part and i dont want to put it in a dir
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+).html
index.php?p=$1 [L]
index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([^/]+).html
index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [L]
index.php?p=order&course_id=5
Thank you,
Can you give example urls that should match the pattern block and what you would like them to be rewritten to? That would be very helpful.
One thing I notice is that your first regexp you test if you match the pattern block with a + which means 1 or more times and the second one you check it with a * which means 0 or more so I don't think the second one will ever be called, although I am very new to regexps but it is just something I noticed.
These are very helpful resources for me:
http://www.webforgers.net/mod-rewrite/mod-rewrite-syntax.php
http://forum.modrewrite.com/
From the example of the urls you would be using, this should work:
# http://website.com/about_us/ rewrites to /index.php?p=about_us
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^order/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=order&course_id=$1 [NC,L]
The second Rewrite might be:
# http://website.com/order/12/ rewrites to /index.php?p=order&course_id=12
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z_-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1&course_id=$2 [NC,L]
Depending on your page structure.
