I need to open my file banclub.html on address http://site.ru/products/love-is
I was create .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/banclub.html$ /products/love-is
What's wrong?
Is the incoming URL http://site.ru/products/love-is, and you want to send it to http://site.ru/banclub.html? Or vice-versa? Assuming the first case:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/love-is$ /banclub.html
Note that the RewriteRule has already stripped off the leading /. This rule will pass along any Query String in the URI (?var=value&var=value etc.) to the new URI. You can suppress that by adding just a ? after .html . If "love-is" is a directory, and the user might have a trailing /, change that line to
RewriteRule ^products/love-is/?$ /banclub.html
If you want to tell search engines and visitors to update their indexes and bookmarks, add [R=301] at the end of the RewriteRule line.

I'm trying to work on making a new site and I want to be able to mirror a site. Below is an example:
User visits: https://example.com/items/{some child folder}
User sees this file mirrored: https://example.com/items/listing.php
I want user to be able to see that file, but, when doing so, it don't want it to redirect. Any ideas?
UPDATE
I found a solution to the above problem. However, I need another question fixed. How would I stop the file listing.php in the /products folder from following the redirect?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/(.*) index.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
How would I stop the file listing.php in the /products folder from following the redirect?
RewriteRule ^products/(.*) index.php?name=$1 [NC,L]
Be more specific in the regex. If your products don't contain dots in the URL-path then exclude dots in the regex. For example:
RewriteRule ^products/([^./]+)$ index.php?name=$1 [L]
The above assumes your product URLs are of the form /products/<something>. Where <something> cannot consist of dots or slashes (so naturally excludes listing.php) and must consist of "something", ie. not empty.
Unless you specifically need the NC flag then this potentially opens you up to duplicate content.
If you want to be explicit then include a condition (RewriteCond directive):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/products/listing\.php$
RewriteRule ^products/([^/]+)$ index.php?name=$1 [L]
The REQUEST_URI server variable contains the root-relative URL-path, starting with a slash. The ! prefix on the CondPattern negates the regex.
Or, use a negative lookahead in the RewriteRule pattern, without using a condition. For example:
RewriteRule ^products/(?!listing\.php)([^/]+)$ index.php?name=$1 [L]

My current .htaccess looks like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/pos /pos/$1 [L]
Currently this will redirect a url such as example.com/234234234/pos to example.com/pos
I would like it to load the directory example.com/pos, but without losing the original URL (example.com/234234234/pos) from the address bar.
Basically, the number listed in the url can change, but I always want it to load the same path.
This rule doesn't look right:
RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/pos /pos/$1 [L]
As you're not capturing anything hence there is no $1. If you want to ignore any number before /pos then use this rule:
RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/(pos)/?$ /$1 [L,NC]
Thank you anubhava. Part of your answer helped me. I did want the numbers ignored, but didn't want them to disappear.
This is the line I needed:
RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/pos/ /pos/ [L,NC]
Did not need to capture anything at all. That is what was causing the redirect.
I know very little about .htaccess files and mod-rewrite rules. Looking at my statcounter information today, I noticed that a visitor to my site entered a url as follows:
http://mywebsite.com/index.php/contact-us
Since there is no such folder or file on the website and no broken links on the site, I'm assuming this was a penetration attempt. What was displayed to the visitor was the output of the index.php file, but without benefit of the associated CSS layout.
I need to create a rewrite rule that will either remove the information after index.php (or any .php file), or perhaps more appropriately, insert a question mark (after the .php filename), so that any following garbage will be treated like a parameter (and will be gracefully ignored if no parameters are required).
Thank you for any assistance.
If you're only expecting real directories and real files that do exist, then you can add this to an .htaccess file. What it does is it takes a non-existent file or directory request and gives the user the index.php page with the original request as a query string. [QSA] appends any existing query string.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?$1 [PT,QSA]
I found a solution, using information provided by AbsoluteZero as well as other threads that popped up on the right side of the screen as the solution came closer.
Here's the code that worked for me...
Options -Multiviews -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
DirectorySlash Off
# remove trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/(\?.*)?$ $1$2 [R=301,L]
# translate PATH_INFO information into a parameter
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php(\/)(.*) $1.php?$3 [R=301,L]
# rewrite /dir/file?query to /dir/file.php?query
RewriteRule ^([\w\/-]+)(\?.*)?$ $1.php$2 [L,T=application/x-httpd-php]
I got the removal of trailing slash from another post on StackOverflow. However, even after removing the trailing slash, the rewrite rule did not account for someone appending what looks to be valid information after the .php file
(For example: mysite.com/index.php/somethingelse)
My goal was to either remove the "/somethingelse", or render it harmless. The PATH_INFO rule locates a "/" after the .php file, and turns everything else from that point forward into a query string (which will usually be ignored by the PHP file).
I have a site with a folder, and a htaccess file within that folder. For the index.php file within that folder, I want to rewrite the querystring for a certain parameter, so that typing in this URL:
www.example.com/myfolder/myparameter
Behaves like this (ie makes $_GET['parameter'] = 'myparameter' in my code)
www.example.com/myfolder/index.php?parameter=myparameter
I have looked at many questions on StackOverflow, but have not managed to get this working. My code so far is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %0 [QSA]
But that just isn't working at all.
Please use this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index\.php?parameter=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^.*/)([^/]+)$ $1index\.php?parameter=$2 [L,QSA]
update
sorry use #somasundaram's answer. Per-directory .htaccess rewrite rules lose the directory prefix:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitutions.
(from the apache docs)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ http://my-site.com/directory [R=301,L]
This redirects my root page to
http://my-site.com/directory/
(notice the trailing slash).
How can I make .htaccess omit the trailing slash when generating the URL?
This is because directory is an existing directory, this is not a rewritten url.
Use another word instead of :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /mypath [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^mypath$ /directory/ [L]
Quote from noupe.com :
The filesystem on your server will always take precedence over the
rewritten URL. For example, if you have a directory named “services”
and within that directory is a file called “design.html”, you can’t
have the URL redirect to “http://domain.com/services”. What happens is
that Apache goes into the “services” directory and doesn’t see the
rewrite instructions.
To fix this, simply rename your directory (adding an underscore to the
beginning or end is a simple way to do that).
Bonus : To remove trailing slash in every urls :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R,301,L]
