.htaccess rule is "not working" - .htaccess

This is my url:
http://www.mychoice.com/apppages.php?type=iphone&title=Best-Audiobooks-100&id=2617
I want to rewrite as like that:
www.mychoice.com/app/iphone/Best-Audiobooks-100/2617.html
I am using this rule for Rewrite:
RewriteRule ^app/([^/])/([^/])/([^/]*).html$ category.php?type=$1&cat=$2&catid=$3 [L]
but its not working. always redirect to 404

You forgot to add the quantifier + for first two capture groups.
RewriteRule ^app/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)\.html$ category.php?type=$1&cat=$2&catid=$3 [QSA,NC,L]
You have also changed the query parameter names in your substitution URL. If the target URL actually is
http://www.mychoice.com/apppages.php?type=iphone&title=Best-Audiobooks-100&id=2617
then the RewriteRule should be
RewriteRule ^app/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)\.html$ /apppages.php?type=$1&title=$2&id=$3 [QSA,NC,L]

Replace part of uri with .htaccess

I want to replace get parameter with mod_rewrite in .htaccess. I have Url www.domain.at/success?id=12345 and need to replace "id" with "vid" -> www.domain.at/success?vid=12345
This replacement must only work on "success" page/uri, but not on other pages of website.
I tried
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)success?id=([^0-9]*)$ /$1success?vid=$2 [R=301,L]
But this is not working on dynamic part?
Thanks for help!
Martin
You have to match query parameters in RewriteCond separately from request URI like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^success/?$ /$0?vid=%1 [R=301,L,NC]

restricting input of GET url on htaccess rewrite url

My original url is : www.site.com/report.cgi?d=2012-05
Requested URL: www.site.com/report-2012-05.cgi
My Htaccess Code:*
RewriteRule ^report([^/]*)\.cgi$ /report.php?d=$1 [L]
I want to restrict the request parameter to just XXXX-XX number format in GET url.
How can I do this ?
I didn't really understand your question, except you want to modify the URL format placing the parameter value in a different position.
The best way to do it is by capturing the query string like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} d=(.*)
The value inside the round brackets is the parameter value (2012-05), which can be back referenced with %1. For example:
RewriteRule .* report-%1.cgi [L]
Will rewrite the URL with /report-2012-05.cgi
Hope this helps.
I think you need to remove .cgi from your rewrite rule
For www.site.com/report-xxxx-xx
RewriteRule ^report-([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]<br>
For www.site.com/xxxx-xx
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]

How to make a htacess RewriteRule with a url variable

I want to redirect the url http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos.php?q=my-tuto/tuto-1.html to
http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos/my-tuto/tuto-1.html, how to do that with a .htaccess ?
I tried this, but it's don't working... :
RewriteRule ^http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/([^-]*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
Thanks !
The rule that you have seems to be doing the opposite of what you say that you want. It's redirecting the non-query-string URL to the query-string URL. But if that's what you want, you need to remove the host and protocol from the regular expression. Only the URI (sans query string) is used to match against in a RewriteRule:
RewriteRule ^tutos/([^-]*)$ /tutos/tutos.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
But if you wanted it the other way around like you had asked:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*)(^|&)q=([^&]+)(.*)
RewriteRule ^tutos/tutos.php$ /tutos/%2?%1%3 [L,R=301]

.htaccess 301 redirect problem

i try to redirect url's like:
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
i've tried with:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
but it is not working
my currently htaccess file has only the first line:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
and videos only loads at
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
url type
i want to redirect the non-backslash url type
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to the correct one (the one with the backslash)
How can i do this?
Your second rule should be RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
Or you could forgo the redirect totally, and just say RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L] which will allow both to view your video.
Update FallingBullets is right (see the comments on this answer), his answer better suites the OP's problem, so please ignore this answer (I am leaving it for reference, though).
Maybe you simply have to prefix your pattern with a /?? E. g.
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
# ^ these ones
instead of
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
since you are anchoring the pattern at the beginning of the path (using ^).

.htaccess redirect from GET variable to url string

I need to redirect
/search?keywords=somesearchterm
to
/search/somesearchterm
This seems incredibly basic but I've been pounding my head against it for an hour.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
You want to implement what is called a "301 Redirect" with mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=somesearchterm$ /search/somesearchterm
adding regular expressions:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=(.+) /search/$1 [R=301,L]
R=301 means provide a 301 Header redirect so the user's URL changes in the browser, and L means don't process any more rewrite rules if this one matches.
If you want to do the reverse -- in other words, if someone goes to mysite.com/search/asearchterm and you want the URL to stay the same, but "behind the scenes" you want it to load a certain server script, do this:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search/(.+) /search.php\?keywords=$1 [L]
You can not match aginst Query string in RewriteRule directive. Use %{THE_REQUEST} or %{QUERY_STRING} server variables to match the Query string :
The following rule works fine for this redirection
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/search\?kewords=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /search/%1? [NE,NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/?$ /search?keyword=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
