I am trying to strip down
http://host.name/html/about.html
to
http://host.name/about.html
But I keep encountering a 404 error with the following in my .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritebase /
RewriteRule ^html/(.*) $1 [R,L]
http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ says its valid, and i think its valid, but there is clearly something I missed.
Can anyone correct me?
Edit:
It also bounces to root when I try to visit /html/
You have it backwards. Since the actual resource is at /html/about.html, you need to internally rewrite to that URI, not from. Once the internal rewrite is in place, you can externally redirect any direct requests to the html directory. So something like:
Options +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /html
RewriteRule ^html/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/html%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/html%{REQUEST_URI} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/html%{REQUEST_URI} -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /html/$1 [L]
Or you could replace the last set of conditions/rule to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/html/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /html/$1 [L]

I am trying to rewrite page URL's with .htaccess.
I would like to transform links like this (mysite.com/page.php -> mysite.com/page)
This is the code which I've used in previous sites with the same requirements
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond /%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-\s]+)/$ /$1.php
But when I try to access mysite.com/page it leeds to a 404 page where as mysite.com/page.php will show the page.
Can anyone explain if I have missed a setting somewhere? I have placed the .htaccess file in the site root dir and the permissions are set as 644.
Instead of using %{REQUEST_FILENAME} which by the way you have an unneeded / there, I suggest you to use %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php, here is an example:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## To internally redirect /anything to /anything.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ $1.php [L]
Additionally on your rule you have /$ which would again cause you trouble as you want to catch /page.
You could have made it /? to make the / optional.
Your .htaccess fixed should look like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-\s]+)/?$ /$1.php [NC,L]
I have a page with this settings:
Options All -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /demo/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*)show(/|.*)$
RewriteRule . /demo/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
For example, when you request the page http://example.com/demo/any_folder/ it loads http://example.com/demo/index.php without changing the URL, to retrieve data from a database for example. Well, this works.
But I want to add and exception.
I need a condition that if you visit http://example.com/demo/any_folder/show it loads the same URL removing the word "show" but avoiding the redirect that is actually defined. So, it will load http://example.com/demo/any_folder/ and not http://example.com/demo/index.php. Does anyone know how to do this?
There has to be something different about the URL to not be redirected to index.php. The following .htaccess code adds a query parameter ?show to tell the two URLs apart.
Since, the redirection is internal; the user never gets to see the parameter.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /demo/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/show/?$ $1?show [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^show [NC]
RewriteRule . /demo/index.php [L]
I have several urls on a Joomla site which have been indexed and I need to 301 redirect them into some new pages. The old URL is formed like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=20
I want it to go to:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease
I tried using:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ http://www.www.mydoamin.com/en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
I've tried several answers on here but nothing seems to be working.
htaccess 301 redirect dynamic url
and
301 Redirecting URLs based on GET variables in .htaccess
Any ideas what I should try next? (I've tried a normal redirect 301)
You've almost got it. You need to remove the leading slash from your rule's pattern because it's removed from the URI when applying rules from an htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease%1? [R=301,L]
You also don't need the http://www.www.mydoamin.com bit (2 sets of www). At the end of your target, you have family-disease%1, which means if start=20 then the end of your URL will look like: family-disease20. Is that right?
The new URL doesn't have the query string in it, so it is just stripping of the last URL path part. If you want it hardcoded
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or a little bit more flexible
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/.+$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or if you just want to keep two levels after en/wfmenuconfig
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/(.+?/.+?)/ /en/$1? [R,L]
Never test with 301 enabled, see this answer Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules for details.
If you just want to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease, then you must try these directives:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease [R=301,L]
But if that's not what you want, but to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease$var then you could check this one:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
Now, give this one a little more try if it will work. If it's not, then find any suspicious why this code is not working:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /family-members/family-disease [R]
And go to http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$AnyNumber if it's redirecting into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease just make sure that your web server have mod_rewrite.
I just wanted to throw this out there, I was also having trouble getting the RewriteRule to work. I have a client that upgraded to a WordPress powered site from .asp pages. What I had to do to get this to work is insert the RewriteCond and RewriteRule in the htaccess file BEFORE the "# BEGIN WordPress" section. Now it works just as it should.
This is posted way late, but hopefully it helps someone else out there running into the same issue.
Doesn't Work:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
Does Work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Order of operations must be important =)
I have a directory structure like this
/ub/
/ub/img/
/ub/inc/
Basically I want to change my img URL to it's parent directory (ub),
When i access http://localhost/ub/mypic.jpg
First, it has to check /ub/img/mypic.jpg, if exist then get that file and pass to the browser, if not then just pass it to http://localhost/ub/index.php?img=mypic.jpg with INTERNAL REDIRECTION.
Second, index.php will create mypic.jpg and store it to /ub/img/, then pass mypic.jpg to the browser.
So, whether the file is exist or not, the browser will only have http://localhost/ub/mypic.jpg as the URL
So far, i have this on my .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ub/img/$1 -f
RewriteRule .+ /ub/img/$1 [L]
I have 2 days to find out the solution, but, it doesn't seem to work,
Thanks,
EDIT :
Hey, I've got this, The request to http://localhost/ub/app/file.php is already passed to index.php?uri=app/file.php as i expected,
but the request to http://localhost/ub/img/mypic.jpg is not passed to index.php?uri=img/mypic.jpg. Is there any solution?
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ub/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}ub/img/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ img/%1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}ub/inc/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ inc/%1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?uri=$1 [QSA,L]
Try something like this (place it in .htaccess in the /ub folder):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /ub/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ([^/]+\.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/ub/img/%1 -f
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?img=$1
Hey guys i'm trying to convert url which looks like this
example.com/sometype/author-name/sort-date
or
example.com/sometype/author-name/sort-date/something-value/
Just need a generic solution.
I'm pretty new to this and a little weak at regular expressions.
So what i could write was this to identify
sometype/author-name/sort-date/
or
sometype/author-name/sort-date/something-value/
/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/ ([a-zA-Z0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
I want to rewrite this into this format
example.come?data={"par1":"sometype","author":"name","sort":"date","something":"vale"}
or
example.come?data={"par1":"sometype","author":"name","sort":"date"}
First understand what you're asking is very unusual and extremely tricky for mod_rewrite. Not only it required recursion based code but also this code won't be very readable.
With that cautionary note enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## If the request is for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
## If the request is for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
## If the request is for a valid link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
## don't do anything
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)(.*?)/?$ $1\",\"$2$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-([^,]+)(.*)$ $1\":\"$2$3 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?data={\"part1\":\"$1\"} [L]
