I have this rule which works perfectly
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+) /demo/index.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2
this converts my link from
/demo/index.php?category=ABC&subcategory=XYZ
to
/demo/ABC/XYZ
but at times I want to enter just the category name like this
/demo/ABC/
But unfortunately this gives error Page not found. What causes this error and how can I fix it?
Also can someone provide link to RewriteEngine resources/books/tutorials. I couldn't find anything that would help a beginner like me. Thank you.
Change your rule to:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]*) /demo/index.php?category=$1&subcategory=$2 [L,QSA]
This making second argument optional (using * instead of + in [^/]*)
Unless /demo/ABC/ is a directory that exists on your local file system, it won't be able to find the page. Your first rule is only rewriting that parameter-filled link into that pseduo-path, it doesn't establish a virtual directory or create a solid redirect.
The best info for RewriteRule is probably going to be in the actual Apache docs.

I would like to ignore all query-strings in my redirect. How would I achieve this?
Basically, /project/(.*) should always redirect to /?tag=project&id=$1
/project/100?shareid=fromsomeemailprovider
should end et the ? and only redirect to Id 100.
Thank You!
I tried the following:
^/project/([^/]*)[/]?(.*)$
/?tag=project&id=$1&$2
to put the query-string behind another &, but this only works if the first URL hast a / at the end of it, which it often hasn't and the RewriteRule can't detect the ? sadly.
With your shown samples, please try following htaccess rules file.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(project)/(.*)/?$ index.php?tag=$1&id=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
Please make sure:
You clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
You make sure to keep your index.php file along with your htaccess rules file. Also add / in case both of these files are in root location in your system.
I change my URL name using mod write. But my URL doesn't show the changes on browser.
This is how it looks from before and after
www.mydomain.com/toy/image.php
to this
www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox
How can I make this: www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox appear on the browser
Another words on my website it should appear www.mydomain.com/toy/xbox instead of this
www.mydomain.com/toy/image.php
This is my code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^toy/xbox$ /toy/image.php* [L,R]
Can someone to explain to me how it works. Did I missed a step? Do I need to used PHP?
If I did make a mistake, correct me so I can learn from my mistakes. I try to google this but I couldn't find what I need to do
Any links or explanations would be appreciated. Thanks.
For it to "show the URL," you need it to do a 301/302 redirect, with a location header. All you have to do is end your RewriteRule line with [L,R=301]
You must perform a redirect using the R flag instead of just a rewrite.
RewriteRule ... ... [R]
I'm trying to redirect a series of around 400 urls using .htaccess/Apache containing a given /directory/ anywhere in the url to a specific location.
The problem here is that my site is receiving requests for an old site hosted on our servers ip. I've tried manually redirecting the urls but the volume is simply too great.
I've searched but can only find examples for redirecting query strings or files
Thanks in advance.
Ok, if all links have the same directory in there... example store/funstuff/blahblah.php
and funstuff is the directory you are looking for then you could modify your .htaccess file something linke this
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} funstuff
RewriteRule . http://www.gohere.com/
Then if you needed to pass more of the URL info you could do the last line like this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.gohere.com/1$
That should get you started... you may need to tweak it slightly.
What language are you processing the redirects in?
You probably need to use a regular expression that searches for the given /directory/.
If I understand your question correctly and that you are using Apache; RedirectMatch should do what you want.
It accepts a regexp for matching and can then redirect to the place you choose.
I want to change my url with only the parameter. As I am passing only one parameter, so I want the sub url should be changed with my parameter name. I want change the url as the following type-
From:
http://www.xyz.com/cat.php?slag=season
to
http://www.xyz.com/season
Can anyone help me to do it. I don't know how to do it. Thanks
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
RewriteRule ^(.*)cat/(.*)$ cat\.php?slag=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
put the above in your .htaccess file.. and that would do the magic..
Note :
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
(use this line only if your application is in any of subfolder the folder)
I suggest you obtain a copy of the .htaccess that WordPress uses. It's a quite powerful starting point that allows you to handle routing internally from within your Application - which you might feel more comfortable with, as it seems to me.
This is the contents of my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^upload$ upload.php
RewriteRule ^/(\d+)/?.*$ /view.php?id=$1 [L]
The first rule successfully works. When I navigate to http://localhost/upload it shows the upload.php page.
The second rule however, does not. When I browse to: http://localhost/1234/some-string I get a 404 error. It's meant to show this page: http://localhost/view.php?id=1234.
Hopefully you can see what I'm trying to do with the rule, I want the last string on the end of the URL to be completely ignored, and take the 1234 as a parameter for view.php.
Can anyone spot why this isn't working? I've tried everything I can think of, but to no success. Thanks!
it will be trying to find the directory /1234/ and failing. change the / to a - and it should work
EDIT: got that completely wrong ... it's actually that you have a / at the beginning of your pattern, whereas MOD_REWRITE receives the path without the first slash.
