Codeigniter .htaccess not ignoring directories - .htaccess

I have a website built on codeigniter and am trying to get the PP IPN working with it. I have looked at a few CI specific libraries, but want to have a stand alone IPN file.
Basically, I have CI installed in the website root and I have another directory 'pp', also in the root.
I'm trying to test the IPN using Paypal's sandbox, but it's returning a 404, I also can't access the file directly.
Here is my .htaccess file:
XSendFile on
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
### Canonicalize codeigniter URLs
RewriteRule ^(index(/index)?|index(\.php)?)/?$ / [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index/?$ $1 [L,R=301]
# Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.net/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|pp|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
# Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Here's hoping it's something really obvious!
Thanks,
Ryan

If the pp directory exists, you could just put an htaccess file in that directory and just have:
RewriteEngine On
in it by itself, and any rules in the main htaccess file would get ignored. If your paypal stuff already has rewrite rules in an htaccess file in the pp directory, you may want to look into those rules as the cause of the 404.

Do you have mod_rewrite.c enabled. If not, that .htaccess will always give 404. (Sorry I couldn't make this a comment, don't have the rep).

Yii2 app in a subdirectory of a Wordpress website: cannot enable pretty urls

I’m trying to deploy a basic webapp on a shared environment where Wordpress is on the root. The Yii2 app is in /subfolder.
I’m following this guide. In root’s .htaccess I added:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subfolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subfolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/web
RewriteRule ^assets/(.*)$ /web/assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ /web/css/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^js/(.*)$ /web/js/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ /web/images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /web/$1 [L]
RewriteBase /subfolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subfolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /web/index.php
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
But with these rules added all Wordpress’ pages are handled (or attempted) through Yii, so this breaks the blog installation. It’s the first block of rules capturing all the pages, but I don’t understand why as the two RewriteCond should intercept only the Yii app URIs. I checked mod_rewrite docs but couldn’t understand what’s wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
RewriteBase /subfolder
You cannot set multiple RewriteBase directives in the same .htaccess file. The last instance "wins" and controls the entire file. So, in the .htaccess file you posted, RewriteBase / set in the WordPress code block, is what is actually set for the file.
However, none of the directives actually make use of the RewriteBase directive anyway - so none of the RewriteBase directives are actually doing anything. The RewriteBase directive only applies where you have set a relative path (not starting with a slash) in the RewriteRule substitution string.
but I don’t understand why as the two RewriteCond should intercept only the Yii app URIs.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subfolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/web
RewriteRule ^assets/(.*)$ /web/assets/$1 [L]
Presumably it's these two RewriteCond directives you are referring to... in which case these two conditions aren't really doing anything. RewriteCond directives only apply to the first RewriteRule directive that follows, so it only applies to the directive that rewrites your assets.
However, this RewriteRule is matching /assets in the document root, not /subfolder/assets, which is presumably the requirement - so these rules will fail to match.
But with these rules added all Wordpress’ pages are handled (or attempted) through Yii, so this breaks the blog installation.
The rules will certainly "break the blog installation", however, they don't appear to get as far as handling the request "through Yii". There's nothing that actually rewrites the request to /subfolder. However, the following directive unconditionally rewrites everything to the /web directory in the document root (which presumably does not exist) - so this will certainly "break" all the WordPress URLs.
RewriteRule (.*) /web/$1 [L]
In fact, I would have expected this to have created a rewrite-loop (500 Internal Server Error response)?! Unless you have a subdirectory /web off the document root which also contains an .htaccess file containing mod_rewrite directives? But that seems unlikely, since the /web directory should be inside the /subfolder directory?
Try the following instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(subfolder)/(assets|css|js|images)/(.*) $1/web/$2/$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(subfolder)/((?!web).*) $1/web/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^subfolder/web/index\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(subfolder)/. $1/web/index.php [L]
# BEGIN WordPress
:
No need for the <IfModule> wrapper. Or the RewriteBase directive.
Alternatively
However, it would be preferable to move these directives into their own .htaccess file in the root of the project, ie. /subfolder/.htaccess - which I believe is what the linked "guide" is suggesting. This keeps the two projects entirely separate. And avoids having to explicitly include the /subfolder in the directives.
In addition, creating a another .htaccess file in the web subdirectory, ie. /subfolder/web/.htaccess. This is again, suggested in the linked "guide". However, this also negates the need for the additional directives to route the request in the parent .htaccess file.
For example, putting these changes together, the /.htaccess file in the document root should only have the WordPress directives. And then...
/subfolder/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((?:assets|css|js|images)/.*) web/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^((?!web).*) web/$1 [L]
/subfolder/web/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Again, no need for the RewriteBase directive here - in fact, using RewriteBase here arguably complicates things. When in the /subfolder/web/.htaccess file, all relative URL-paths are relative to that directory.
So, requesting /subfolder/foo gets internally rewritten by the /subfolder/.htaccess file to /subfolder/web/foo. Which is then caught by the /subfolder/web/.htaccess file (preventing a rewrite loop) and internally rewritten to /subfolder/web/index.php (providing foo does not exist as a physical file).

.htaccess issue | Codeigniter

I'm relatively new to Codeigniter and MVC. But, have successfully made two apps 'Locally'. While exploring, I found a way to remove 'Index.php' from the URL and also about custom routes. The .htaccess file that i have works like charm locally, but when trying to host it; there is a issue 505 internal server issue
Here is the first .htaccess code that i have (works locally) :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# If your website begins from a folder e.g localhost/my_project then
# you have to change it to: RewriteBase /my_project/
# If your site begins from the root e.g. example.local/ then
# let it as it is
RewriteBase /
# Protect application and system files from being viewed when the index.php is missing
RewriteCond $1 ^(application|system|private|logs)
# Rewrite to index.php/access_denied/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/access_denied/$1 [PT,L]
# Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|public|assets|css|js|images)
# No rewriting
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [PT,L]
# Rewrite to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
When i use the code above there is an error. And, the app works only when .htaccess is removed. (I then have to use the inconvenient long URLs)
After a brief research and using different .htaccess without success, i asked one of my friends who has a Hosted CI app successfully running. He sends me a file which leads me the landing page without any problem; but, cant call any functions with/without using routing .i.e. If i use the custom routed URl (www.mySite.com/contact) then also it leads me to the landing page, the same with actual URL scheme (www.mySite.com/welcome/contact_page)
The new code here:-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading
# slashes.
# If your page resides at
# http://www.example.com/mypage/test1
# then use
# RewriteBase /mypage/test1/
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>
Using this code shows me the landing page but i cannot navigate any further from there. When i try to call a function the landing page reloads. This, I think is because of the last error Handling Code (ErrorDocument 404 /index.php)
Does anyone know what the solution the problem might be??
questions
Why doesnt the first .htaccess code work when hosted?
What may be the issue with the second available .htaccess file??
Do you guys have better .htaccess file? If yes, can you post it here??
Try this .htaccess (Codeigniter Recommended )
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|image|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
or
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
In application/config/config.php
$config['base_url'] = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
$config['index_page'] = ''; # Should be empty
And make sure Controller name, Model names are in proper way. Bcz Linux Host is an Case-Sensitive.

.htaccess rewrite page with alias

I need to rewrite an url like /services/rental/faq-2/ so that the user (and robots) see /services/rental/faq/
This is my current .htaccess (it's Wordpress) with no successful rewrite:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/services/rental/faq/?$ /services/rental/faq-2/ [NC,L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Any of the hints I searched actually worked, maybe rule order is important or (most probable) I have no idea on how to do it
Your external URL is /services/rental/faq[/]. This is the one produced by links in your pages, and is the one robots and users see. It is NOT produced by .htaccess -- .htaccess only sees incoming URIs.
Try moving your new RewriteRule up before all the other WordPress RewriteRules (after the RewriteBase).

Redirect url with .htaccess

I m sure that many people will say that this is duplicated but I try everything from other "Question"`s and nothings work for me.
The problem is that I move my project to the web server.
In this server I have folder "public_html" where I but my project Symfony.
Now to enter on my project I must write the following url: www.mydomain.com/Symfony/web/*
But I want to write a Rewrite Rule which will redirect from www.mydomain.com/Symfony/web/* to
www.mydomain.com/home/*.
To do this I try on 2 different ways with many combination of ReWrite rule.
In my public_html I create a .htaccess folder
I edit the .htaccess in Symfony/web folder
I add the following rule in both file but without success
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^Symfony/web/(.*)$ www.mydomain.com/home/$1 [L,R=301]
Unfortunately without success. What I`m doing wrong?
My htaccess file look like
And all the time Error 404 Object not found
Symfony/web/.htaccess
DirectoryIndex app.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Symfony/web/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+Symfony/web/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ $1 [L,NC]
</IfModule>
It`s redirecting me but I receive again Object not found :(
I delete the .htaccess in public_html folder which is the root one for my server
public_html\.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /Symfony/web/$1 [L,NC]
1: Place this code in /Symfony/web/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Symfony/web/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+Symfony/web/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [L]
2: Place this code in /public_html/.htaccess:
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /Symfony/web/$1 [L,NC]
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your rule is backwards. I think you want your URL to be www.mydomain.com/home/* in the browser... In which case the rule would be reversed. Also, your .htaccess should be in the root and you don't need to include the domain in the rewrite rule because you set a rewrite base.
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ Symfony/web/$1 [L,R=301]

.htaccess RewriteRule seems not to work

I got a problem with my .htaccess here and altough I searched the web and tried many things, I could not find any solution...
I have a wordpress-installation with enabled permalinks. Additional to that, I need to rewrite another URL on this wordpress-installation, which does not belong to WP.
If a user browses to http://www.URL.com/?page_id=30&tag=all&filterCategory=6\%23Jackets, I'd like to show http://www.URL.com/jackets.html as URL. There should also be the possibility to directly browse to http://www.URL.com/jackets.html.
My .htaccess looks like this
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^jacket\.html$ http://www.URL.com/?page_id=30&tag=all&filterCategory=6\%23Jackets [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Does anyone have any idea why this does not work?
The WordPress rewrite rules are redirecting any requests to non-existant files through WordPress. The rewrite rule responsible for this, RewriteRule . /index.php [L], is marked with [L], indicating that no more rules are to be processed after it. In order for your rule to work, it must be placed before the WordPress rules, but after the line RewriteBase /.
