Rewrite doesn't work without trailing slash - .htaccess

I have problems getting an URL to work WITHOUT entering trailing slash.
It's:
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range/
.htaccess Rewrite Rule is:
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/show/([A-Za-z0-9\-\,]+)/?$ _shop/products.php?trg=${productmap:$1}&range=$2 [L]
It works with trailing slash (which I don't want in the URL) but not without. I should also add that if I was to remove '/show/' from the URL (which I can't do though), it works without trailing slash, or if 'range' contains a dash '-', as in 'new-product', it also works.
However, this URL works with or without trailing slash:
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range/color
.htaccess Rewrite Rule for this URL is:
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/show/([A-Za-z0-9\-\,]+)/([A-Za-z0-9\-\,]+)/?$ _shop/products.php?trg=${productmap:$1}&range=$2&color=$3 [L]
How can I get the first URL to work without trailing slash? This might be something really obvious as I'm a recent newbie to using .htaccess but I have now spent hours staring at the code and reading forum posts about rewrites but not been able to resolve this. Thank you!

T'm not so sure, but have You try to put /? in braces: (/)?, I think this will work:
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/show/([A-Za-z0-9\-\,]+)([/]?)$ _shop/products.php?trg=${productmap:$1}&range=$2 [L]

You Can Test This Code
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/(.*?)/show/(.*)/(.*)$ _shop/products.php?trg=$1&range=$2&color=$3 [S,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/(.*?)/show/(.*)$ _shop/products.php?trg=$1&range=$2 [S,L,QSA]
sample:
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range/
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range
redirect to:
www.domain.com/_shop/products.php?trg=products&range=range
and:
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range/color
www.domain.com/shop/buy/products/show/range/color/
redirect to:
www.domain.com/_shop/products.php?trg=products&range=range&color=color
one Another way is you Can Use Only This code
RewriteRule ^shop/buy/(.*?)/show/(.*)$ _shop/products.php?trg=$1&range=$2 [L,QSA]
after That split range in php By
list($range,$coler)=explode("/",$_GET['range']);
It is work too.

.htaccess url rewriting without collision

I've got the following code in my htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ profile.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ profile.php?username=$1
The above code works fine like this, http://domain.com/username instead of http://domain.com/profile.php?username=username
I need a similar one but with a fake string like this
http://domain.com/gallery/username
The file is at http://domain.com/gallery.php
How do I achieve this without colliding with profile code?
Almost the same:
RewriteRule ^gallery/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ gallery.php?username=$1
If you also would allow other non ascii nicknames you should replace ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) by ([^\/]+).
Just as a hint you can remove the first rule if you add a questionmark after the slash that makes the slash optional.

Why doesn't this URL rewrite work?

This is a page on my domain: www.mydomain.com/en/stats.php
I want it to look like this: www.mydomain.com/en/statistics/players
This is pretty simple to accomplish, but for some reason the htaccess code below doesn't work.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/statistics/players stats.php [R=301,L,QSA]
I get a 404 error when I try to open the SEO-friendly version. The page opens fine when I use the regular URL. What am I doing wrong?
The URL might not have a leading slash. Try without or optional slash. Additionally, you must check for the leading en, when you anchor your pattern at the beginning
RewriteRule ^/?en/statistics/players /en/stats.php
What worked in the end is the following:
RewriteRule en/statistics/players en/stats.php [NC,L]
I think it needs to be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^en/statistics/players en/stats.php [QSA]
The R=301 means it will perform a redirect instead of a rewrite and try to redirect to /stats.php which doesnt exists I guess.
The L flag means that this is the last rewrite rule that will be processed for this request, which in this case I doubt is what you want. If there are rewrite rules further down for /en/stats.php they wont be processed.

Adding trailing slash to URL using htaccess

I'm trying to re-write my URL using htaccess. Here is the code from my htaccess:
RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)?/([^/.]+)?$
post.php?pst=$1&view=$2%{QUERY_STRING}
Everything is working fine, except that this code doesn't add a trailing slash at the end of the re-written URL. How can I add that?
I don't think you can access %{QUERY_STRING} in a RewriteRule; only a RewriteCondition. I think you might need to do something like:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule ^post/([^/.]+)?/([^/.]+)?$ post.php?pst=$1&view=$2%1/
See: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteQueryString

How to strip trailing URL characters in htaccess

I'm hoping someone can help with this one. I run a forum written in Perl, and the forum does something to URLs that is causing search engines to create duplicates.
I'm thinking that the best way of handling this is to sort it at the htaccess level.
As an example, the following 4 URLs all go to the same page, but search engines are seeing one entry with three duplicates:
http://www.domain.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890
http://www.domain.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890/2
http://www.domain.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890/19
http://www.domain.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890/22
I'm looking get htaccess to redirect anything that has a forward-slash somewhere in the last three characters, to a URL that has the slash and trailing numbers removed. Using the above example:
Redirect 301 /forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890/2 to /forum/YaBB.pl?num=1234567890
Alternatively, to re-write URLs from that subdomain to strip "/n" and "/nn"
Anyone have any ideas?
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/forum/YaBB\.pl\?num=([0-9]+)/[0-9]+$ cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=$1 [R=302,L]
This should work, but let me know if it doesn't :) Also if it works, change the 'R=302' to 'R=301'
Try this rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^num=(\d+)/
RewriteRule ^(cgi-bin/forum/YaBB\.pl)$ /$1?num=%1 [R=301,L]
Tested on local Apache installation -- works fine for me.

basic mod_rewrite question

I am trying to write a rule which says
xyz.com/hotels_in_someplace will direct to xyz.com/test.php?place=someplace
by using the following in my htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^hotels_in_([a-z]+)$ test.php?place=$1 [L]
but its not working and I cant figure out why, I am running a wamp server as a dev. when i tried to run xyz.com/test.php?place=someplace (without the htaccess in the directory) it works but I suspect there's something my rule which is wrong.
additional:
whoops....my dumb ass mistake, mod_rewrite wasnt enabled...
Try it without the end-line anchor ($)
RewriteRule ^/hotels_in_([a-z]+) /test.php?place=$1 [L]
Also, did you allow the .htaccess files to be parsed?
Update: I didn't notice the RewriteBase in the question before so my point about the leading slash is null. However the RewriteRule does work on my machine.
Try:
RewriteRule ^hotels_in_([a-z]+)$ /test.php?place=$1 [L]
The path to test.php needs the leading slash. The way you are doing the rewrite you will be redirected to xyz.com/path/to/web/docs/on/machine/test.php and thats not what you want. :)
Also if you are you including a trailing slash in your test.
The above rule will not match xyz.com/hotels_in_someplace/.
To match the leading slash this should work:
RewriteRule ^hotels_in_([a-z]+)/?$ /test.php?place=$1 [L]
Your example works fine for me. Might want to make a few little adjustments (see my example, which captures uppercase letters, hyphens and underscores (for hotels in countries with more than one word (united-states, united_states)) and a trailing forward slash).
RewriteRule ^hotels_in_([A-Za-z_-]*)(/?)$ /test.php?place=$1
Hope that helps.
