I'm attempting to use htaccess to write my urls as localhost/username instead of localhost/profile.php?id=username
I looked it up and this is what I found to be the solution
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L]
That's an exact copy from this stackoverflow question htaccess rewrite for query string however, for some reason it always returns a 500 error. I'm not sure why it's giving me this since I'm no expert with htaccess. I pretty much just find code modify it to fit my use.
Mod_rewrite is definitely turned on. So I know that can't be the issue. Any idea what is wrong with the code I have?
Edit:
This is what the apache error log returned.
[Sat Apr 27 14:20:10.558122 2013] [core:error] [pid 3244:tid 1688] [client 127.0.0.1:58653] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
If it's really a redirect loop per your comment, try adding this line immediately before your rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
The part where it says /profile.php?id=$1 is where it will rewrite you to. If that;s not a file then it would show up with an error so change that to whatever file you want it to rewrite you to.
Hope this helped

What I want to do should be quite simple: when the admin writes www.example.com/admin I want that he's addressed to www.example.com/admin/admin_index.php.
I wrote this rule and I checked on other posts here on Stackoverflow: it apparently seems to be correct, but it actually doesn't work.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/admin/?$ /admin/admin_index.php [L,NC]
Has anyone any clue on why the redirect doesn't work, since it "stays" at www.example.com/admin outputting (obviously) the 403 error?
There is no need to use a rewrite rule. Just use DirectoryIndex directive in admin/.htaccess:
DirectoryIndex admin_index.php
This will load admin/admin_index.php when a request comes for http://domain.com/admin/
I have an .htaccess file with several lines. It does not work as expected. Mod_rewrite is enabled. RewriteLogLevel is set to 9.
The first two rules are there to forbid uris with a length more then 80 characters:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.{80}
RewriteRule .* - [F]
It does not seem to get evaluated as every test url passes through and it does not generate an error either.
I also tried:
RewriteRule .{80} - [F]
But that did not do the trick either. The process ends with a 404, not a 403.
This next rule is not working either. It used to work.
RewriteRule ^(\/)?([\w]+)$ /index.php [L]
The URI /Contact was always handled by this index.php.
Whatever URL I type I get a 404. I should get a 403 or a 200. Not a 404. What am I missing?
Apache has on all directories the permission to read, write and execute and on all files the permission to read and write.
The two urls for testing are:
127.0.0.4/asssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssddddddddddddddddddddd?p=s&s=psv
and
127.0.0.4/Contact
The alias for 127.0.0.4 used is considerate.lb.
Try this rule instead:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+\S{80}
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
Using THE_REQUEST instead of REQUEST_URI as that variable might get overwritten due to presence of other rules in your .htaccess
Finally I have found a solution. The problem was not in the coding of the .htaccess. I replaced the file with a previous version, added the new lines to test the request and it worked all fine.
It is not a satisfactory solution, because it can happen again and I do not have any clue what caused the error. If someone knows the error, I would love to hear what might have been the exact cause and how to solve that properly. I would like to change the tags of the question as the current tags might be misleading (although other people might experience the same problem how apache handles a .htaccess file), but I do not know which tags I should use.
We're seeing some really weird URLs in our logs and I've been told to start redirecting them.
I know of a couple of better ways to go about fixing this, but the boss wants it done this way. I apologize in advance.
We're seeing stuff like the following in our logs:
http://www.example.com/foo/bar/bla&ob=&ppg=&rpp=100&ob=&rpp=&ppg=&rpp=30&ppg=&ppg=1&rpp=10&rpp=50&ob=&ob=&ob=&rpp=40&ob=&rpp=5&rpp=30&rpp=&rpp=20&order_by=&results_per_pge=75
I've been told to 'toss some mod_rewrite rules in the .htaccess file' to take this and strip out all the ob, rpp, and ppg variables.
Now, I've found ways to strip everything out. And that wouldn't be too bad if I could leave the /foo/bar/bla in there. But I can't seem to do that. Basically, any help would be appreciated.
Try:
# strip out any params that's ob=, rpp= or ppg=
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)&ob=([^&]*)&(.*)$ /$1&$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)&rpp=([^&]*)&(.*)$ /$1&$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)&ppg=([^&]*)&(.*)$ /$1&$3 [L]
# if everything's gone, finally redirect and fix query string
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !&(ob|rpp|ppg)
RewriteRule ^/?(.*?)&(.*) /$1?$2 [L,R=301]
The problem here is that your URL:
http://www.example.com/foo/bar/bla&ob=&ppg=&rpp=100&ob=&rpp=&ppg=&rpp=30&ppg=&ppg=1&rpp=10&rpp=50&ob=&ob=&ob=&rpp=40&ob=&rpp=5&rpp=30&rpp=&rpp=20&order_by=&results_per_pge=75
has A LOT of ob=, rpp=, and ppg= in the URI. More than 10. That means you'll get a 500 internal server error if you use these rules against that URL. By default, apache has the internal recursion limit set to 10, that means if it needs to loop more than 10 times (and it will for the above URL), it'll bail and return a 500. You need to set that higher:
LimitInternalRecursion 30
or some other sane number. Unfortunately, you can't use that directive in an htaccess file, you'll need to go into server or vhost config and set it.
I have the following .htaccess on an Apache/2.4.2-win32 server:
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
# Allow direct loading of files in the static directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^/?static/(.+)$ - [L]
# Send all other requests to controller
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$
RewriteRule .* spf/index.php [L,QSA]
This works well and does exactly what I want it to. For those of you who can't be bothered working out what it does, it sends all requests through spf/index.php unless they are for a file that exists in the static directory.
The file resides in the virtual host's documentroot.
Every request that falls through this .htaccess generates the following error:
[Wed Aug 01 14:14:16.549835 2012] [core:warn] [pid 7100:tid 1076] AH00111: Config variable ${REQUEST_URI} is not defined
This is not actually causing a problem - every request works as expected - but it's filling up my error log and I don't like it.
According to Google, no-one has ever had this error before. That's as far as I've got with debugging it, I don't really know where to go next.
Anyone got any idea what's going on here?
P.S. I'm aware this might be a question better suited to SF, if the general opinion is that it doesn't belong here I'll move it.
You need to replace the $ with a %:
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$
to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?(spf/index\.php)?$
I've looked around for an answer to this, no luck.
What i want to do is replace
http://localhost/mysite/superv/something with
http://localhost/mysite/superv/?p=something
Here's the best formula I came up with since yesterday:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mysite/
RewriteRule ^(superv/)([^\?/]+)$ $1\?p=$2 [NC]
Yet it's not working.
I think the "RewriteBase" thingy has nothing to do with the problem because this line is working like a charm:
RewriteRule ^(javascripts/main\.js)$ $1\.php [NC]
Edit: Right Rekire, that was a mistake while copying and pasting the code. I've fixed the question now.
Edit2: Here's the error that appears in apache logs:
[Tue Mar 20 20:26:01 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1]
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.
Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
I'm guessing the problem is "looping" and I quote:
Looping occurs when the target of a rewrite rule matches the pattern.
This results in an infinite loop of rewrites
This appears to be working for me.
RewriteRule ^(superv/)([^\?/]+)$ $1?p=$2 [R,NC]
Remove the R, if you want to do an internal redirect.
For some reason, this formula worked (internal redirect):
RewriteRule (.*)(superv/)?(.*) $1$2index.php?p=$3 [NC,QSA]
It seems to have broken the "infinite loop".
