I'm working on a local MAMP website. I use a micro MVC framework to use friendly urls
so I don't need to call index.php (which is inside of public_html directory) in the urls.
To achieve that, I have the following htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !public_html/
RewriteRule (.*) /public_html/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
Then I have the following line in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mywebsite
Also, I have the following in httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite"
ServerName mywebsite
</VirtualHost>
So if I simply call http://mywebsite from the browser, the whole thing works smoothly.
So what's the problem?
The problem appears if I try to reach the same page from another machine in my LAN.
So if I write http://192.168.1.15/mywebsite the answer is:
Not Found
The requested URL /public_html/ was not found on this server.
I get the same message if I call http://localhost/mywebsite from my own machine.
I have the feeling that is something related to .htaccess, but I've been trying a
lot of different ideas I've found in the web, and nothing works.
I'd like to fix this, because I need other people to check the website from their machines.
If you have any clue please help. Thanks a lot.
Edit: I can't solve this, so as a temporary fix I've created a free account at AppFog for my team to be able to access the page until we go to production.
After all these years, I thought that computing would be easier... it's getting harder, actually. The htaccess file is a huge mistery to me! Thanks anyway :)
By the way... as I told you, I've found a way to fix the problem. The funny thing is I have to use a different .htaccess file. I thought you could be interested, provided that it seems you like computing stuff :)
This is the .htaccess that works in my LAN debian server:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(www/.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
As you can see, it's different from the one I showed you at my first post. My conclusion? Well, even when I always try to keep things simple, life shows me one and another time that everything can be more complicated. Look at the .htaccess file. It's so funny... I've learnt to work with it by using different combinations of code.
Isn't it crazy? Yes it is. Please let's do understandable software. Thank you!
Ok, I've been trying a lot of different things and all of them fail. The only solution I've found is to install the web site in a separated LAN debian server. Everything works ok in that way, but it's not possible to make it work from my machine with MAMP.
Why not? Well, I don't know. After a lot of years in computing, I've learnt to say "I don´t know", you know what I mean.
I've been working for a few days with an AppFog account for free but, you know, that thing cannot work when you put a database and the whole thing there. Obvious.
So at the end the only solution I've found has been to put everything at that local LAN debian server.
Thank you anyway :)

I've searched and tried many tutorials and problem solutions but couldn't achieve what I want.
If user open domain.com/xxx.php he see the content of domain.com/hosting/xxx.php
This
RewriteRule ^xxx.php$ /hosting/xxx.php
Works perfectly what i want to do, but there are over 150 pages in hosting directory and writing rules for each page does not seem right? any possible way to do it dynamically?
I tried this solution it works but it try to find those pages which are currently at root domain.com/xxx.php inside domain.com/hosting/
I search slimier questions have been asked many times before but non of the answer worked for me.
You need to also take care of reuests to the shortened, rewritten URL:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?hosting/(.*)$ /$1 [END,NC,R=302]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /hosting/$1 [END]
I've had a Joomla 2.5.28 site for quite a while now and recently changed hosting providers. On the new server I managed to get Joomla updated to 3.2.7 and get it to run normally.
Now for the tricky part:
On my previous hoster I had a second installation being kind of the gateway to the other site. It just lets you select language and that's it.
My domain is www.cyclingtoserve.at with Joomla Main being /joomla and Joomla portal being /3.1
I figured by adding a REDIRECT rule from / to /3.1 I could get the portal up and running again. Sadly not.
This is what I get:
I thought I could undo this by deleting the .htaccess file. The problem lives on though.
I've tried just about everything. Help is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Edit01: A bit more info may be interesting.
The Joomla install is in /joomla while the other page is in /3.1
The .htaccess file however was in the root directory.
Edit02: I have managed to remove the wrong redirection. Question is: What is the correct way to redirect people from www.cyclingtoserve.at to /3.1? (without it showing up in the address)
Edit03: Here is a graphical representation (FTP) of the folder structure.
ftp
In order to avoid the redirect loop, you need to first check to see if your are already in the /3.1/ folder. Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/3.1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/3.1/$1 [L,R]
Sadly I've had to give up using .htaccess for the redirection.
I would have loved the recommended way (and still would like to know how).
Solution:
index.html in root has the following lines:
<frameset rows="100%" frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0>
<frame src="http://cyclingtoserve.at/3.1/" name="Content" noresize>
<noframes>
It may be the quick and dirty way of dealing with this issue, but it works.
If you can reproduce the same results with .htaccess, I'd love to tag it as an answer.
I need a few redirects in my .htaccess file, and what I've done works perfectly well in the htaccess tester, but it doesn't work at all on my server. I've spent days finding a solution, and I'm stuck. It would be wonderful if someone could help!
1) "/-" in URLs
This is a good example:
https://www.haraldjoergens.com/galleries/remembrance-sunday/2012-cenotaph/-march-past/index.php?page=40
The "2012-cenotaph/-march-past" is supposed to be "2012-cenotaph-march-past"
I had though a straightforward RewriteRule ^(.*)/-(.*)$ %1-%2 [R=301,L] would do the trick, but it seems to be completely ignored.
2) Repetition needs to be removed:
Due to making the "Replace" a 301 replace too early, the search engine bots try to access very wrong things:
https://www.haraldjoergens.com/galleries/rowing/index.php/galleries/rowing/
The second "/galleries/rowing" needs to be removed. My attempt via
RewriteRule ^(.+/index\.php)/.*$ /$1 [R,L]
works fine in htaccess tester, but seems to send the website into an endless loop.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks!!!

htaccess example
I dont know if this is what you really need.
One thing helps me is to change the routes for example:
$route['index.php/galleries/rowing/'] = "index.php";
I recently got an arcade script through a membership site that I belong to. The owner of the site offered free install of the script. I registered a domain name and got a hosting account with godaddy.com The script was installed, but I am having a slight problem. Everything else seems to be working fine, except for clicking on the links on the left hand menu that says "Categories".
Here is my site: http://www.freeonlinegamerooms.com
I called GoDaddy customer service and was advised that I needed to add a Rewrite Base to my .htaccess file . They sent me a link to the apache site, but it hasn't helped me at all, as I am a non-technical person. It's all Greek to me. The guy who installed my script has tried to get it fixed, to no avail. He said he isn't a progammer either. Here is the text of my .htaccess file, as it presently exists:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "^game/([0-9]+)/$" file.php?id=$1 [Last]
RewriteRule "^category/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$" category.php?id=$1&page=$2 [Last]
Can anyone help me with this, please? All I want is a site that works properly. I am sure this something very easy for a programmer to figure out, I'm just at a loss myself because I'm not a programmer.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice
Doug
I think you need to put a slash in the rewrite rule after the ^.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "^/game/([0-9]+)/$" file.php?id=$1 [Last]
RewriteRule "^/category/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/$" category.php?id=$1&page=$2 [Last]
edit: this is wrong, see my follow-up comment in this answer.
I'm working on my project and now I want to transfer it from my localhost to server. Everything seems to work fine, but .htaccess doesn't work.
The server should be suporting mod_rewrite and print_r(apache_get_modules()); shows mod_rewrite running.
But still, when I type myaddress.com/contact, it shows error 404.
Here is the .htaccess file, but it should be fine, since it runs on my localhost:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^adminator/?$ adminator/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&detail=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
Do you have any idea?
Thanks, Mike.
Does the server allow .htaccess? It doesn't really have to.
Try other directives, ask your hosting provider, or check the configuration yourself if possible.
I tried testing your rules they should be fine on urls such as: http://myhost.com/test1 and http://myhost.com/test1/test2 result in requesting url: index.php?page=test1 and index.php?page=test1&detail=test2
So the problem is not your rules, it is your server setup somewhere. As Mewp said check your Apache config file, look for AllowOverride which should be enabled for .htaccess files to overriding default settings.
Ok, fixed it .. deep in the hostings settings, there was an option to activate it .. but I found it after 4 hours of looking around .. :P
