I am trying to implement a front controller. So I want to redirect requests to index.php. Here is my .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect everything to the Front Controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^(css|images|files)/ index.php [NC,L]
Currently, if I visit the following url, it works:
http://devserver/myapp/
But, if I visit any url that does not resolve to index.php, for example http://devserver/app/blog, Apache tells me that it cannot find index.php:
The requested URL
/absolute/path/to/myapp/index.php
was not found on this server.
But that path actually exists on my server, so I think what's happening is Apache is trying to access that url like a browser would - and it doesn't work because if I type in :
/absolute/path/to/myapp/index.php in my browser, it doesn't work. So, I decided to change the last line in my .htaccess to this:
RewriteRule !^(css|images|files)/ http://myapp.com/index.php [NC,L]
But it still doesn't work, because now when I check for $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] in my PHP code, it always resolves to index.php because Apache made a HTTP request.
Anyways, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and I what I can do to make Apache redirect everything to index.php?
Thanks,
Not sure but try this.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect everything to the Front Controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# RewriteRule !^(css|images|files)/ index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

I am trying to redirect www.bostonmabl.com/400hitter/boxscore/?SeID=332&GmID=93091 to www.bostonmabl.com/400hitter/boxscore/332/93091/ in the event that a user enters an old non-clean URL. Below is my .htacess file which I tried placing in both the 'root' directory and the '400hitter' directory, yet neither is working. Any help is greatly appreciated.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^SeID=([^&]+)&GmID=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/400hitter/boxscore/index\.php$ https://bostonmabl.com/400hitter/boxscore/%1/%2/? [R=301]
With your shown samples, please try following htaccess rules. Make sure your .htaccess rules file and index.php are residing in same folder.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##External redirect to new URL in browser.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/(400hitter/boxscore)/\?SeID=([^&]*)&GmID=(\d+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/%3? [R=301,L]
##Internal rewrite in backend.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^400hitter/boxscore/(\d+)/(\d+)/?$ index.php?SeID=$1&GmID=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
NOTE: This solution assumes that you want to rewrite(in backend) to index.php(by seeing your attempted code) and pass SeID and GmID parameters/query string into it.
Lets say that I have a static app and a JSON file that feeds it.
The problem is that the JSON file it's not available yet and I can't use it, so, to make the application run in development environment, I want to add a rewrite rule to redirect the JSON request to a CI controller path that will return a JSON as well.
My htaccess file looks like this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|static|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
#Rewrite for development
RewriteRule ^static/app/json/appData.json$ /buscador/getAppData
The first condition is the CI main condition to redirect all request to index.php
Then I added the RewriteRule for the JSON file that's going to be located in static/app/json/appData.json and it needs to be redirected to the CI controller buscador/getAppData
The thing is that this Rewrite Rule isn't working and I don't know why, can somebody tell me what is wrong o how can I add a custom rewrite rule in CI?
Thank you!
I was pondering on a similar problem for quite a few hours. I needed to add a custom RewriteRile so that a shorter link should be generated (and working) in order to be sent as a footer in an SMS to users. I finally managed to do it with a 301 redirect before the CI redirects. Here's my .htaccess:
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#Custom redirect
RewriteRule ^nv([0-9]+?)?$ /news/locate/item/$1 [NC,L,R=301]
#Remove trailing slash against SEO duplicates
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
#Generic controller redirects
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Now http://domain.tld/nv1234 redirects to http://domain.tld/news/locate/item/1234 as intended, although not as transparently as I would like it to, but I couldn't find a better way.
Please note the R=301 in the Custom redirect line - the RewriteRule will not work if the client is not redirected to the newsController.
Posting my solution here with the hope that other developers will not get lost as I (and the OP) did.
Quick question, and I've seen it asked hundreds of times, but I just can't seem to get it to work (shame on me).
I'm trying to redirect anything other than index.php to view.php?id=$1 where $1 is anything other than index.php - but I can't seem to get it to work.
For example:
http://domain.com/ should use index.php
http://domain.com/index.php as should this
but..
http://domain.com/sdgoi3 should use http://domain.com/view.php?id=sdgoi3 etc
I've tried a few things and gone down through the questions above but to no avail.
Anyone got a solution? Appreciated.
Try putting this in the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^view\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=$1 [L]
The logic here is:
if the request URI is / rewrite to index.php
if the request URI starts with index.php, don't change and pass through
if the request URI starts with view.php, don't change and pass through
if the request is to a non-existing file or directory, pass to view.php with the id param
Maybe something like :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^view\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ view.php?id=$1 [L]
?
I have the following in my .htaccess - the clean url's declaration and the https redirect both work fine individually but put together are causing the continuous redirect error (this server is redirecting in a way which will never complete).
Here is my .htacess:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
# force to use https
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
#RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Any idea how i can resolve this?
Thank you
Hope I am not late as I stumbled through your same problem and figured out the conflict just a day ago.
Write the following in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
The first rule will automatically redirect any HTTP requests to HTTPS and (through the crucial [L] tag) stop other substitutions which will mess up the page (specifically, images and CSS stylesheets would not be served).
The second one is the Yii suggested way to check whether a particular URL corresponds to a real file or directory and, if not, to forward the request to index.php (the bootstrap file for the Web application). (The rules in the application's configuration file should do the rest, then).
I have this rewrite rule to access profile.php?user=username with mysite.com/username..
Problem with this is that it ignores my css, even if I use the full URL and whats weird is that its the same if i go to the regular url, profile.php?user=username. But If i remove my htaccess file the css works.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
Whats the problem here? Thanks in advance :>
You could use a condition to only fire your rule if the URL you are attempting to fetch doesn't resolve to a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
This will stop a request for foo.css being rewritten as profile.php?user=foo.css
Your rule will rewrite any request, even the request for your css file.
You will also need a RewriteCond like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) profile.php?user=$1 [QSA,L]
This will redirect only if there is no file that matches the request.
Remember that the request for the CSS file is a request too, and your rule is rewriting the request for whatever.css to profile.php?user=whatever.css
