Ive got a website in a subdirectory but all the image, link and CSS paths are set like this:
"/images/error.png"
or "/help.html"
or "/css/styles/stylesheet.css"
I've tried a million different .htaccess things and tried setting the base href tag to the domain.com/subfolder.
I can't seem to get anything to work!
Also: There are hundreds of files in this system so I can't manually go and change all the paths to relative.
When you wrote: Ive got a website in a subdirectory I am assuming that you moved all images, css etc to subdirectory as well.
If that is so you can manage it using a simple RewriteRule. Create a .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT with this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# If the request is for a valid directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
# If the request is for a valid file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
# if this is a link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
# forward to subdirectory if it is not already subdirectory
RewriteRule ^((?!subdirectory/).*)$ subdirectory/$1 [L,NC]
Use Relative Paths (http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningtutorials/a/aa040502a.htm)
So if your images are in
/SubFolder/Images/
and your viewing the file
/SubFolder/index.htm
Images/fileName.png
Will work.

I'm trying to setup virtual directories with .htaccess.
I want to use this directories as language indicators. E.g. example.com/de-de, example-com/de-en and so on. But in fact, the directories doesn't exist on the server and the index.html file at the root of the directory should be loaded. I wrote some rules, but they dont work properly:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
URLs like example.com/de-de works, but example.com/de-de/ doesn't. When I open example.com/de-de/ it tries to load resources from the /de-de/ subdirectory, e.g. de-de/js/jquery.js instead of /js/jquery.js. Whats wrong with my rules? And is there a way to force a trailing slash, so users will be redirected from example.com/de-de to example.com/de-de/?
I'm looking to rewrite the first directory of a url string and have the rest of the request still work.
Eg: I want it so when a user clicks the link for : /products/category/item.php
it actually grabs the file of : /shop/category/item.php But still shows as /products/category/item.php as the URL
This will be dynamic so it should be something like /products/$ /shop/$1 I'm guessing.
You do not need mod_rewrite. when to avoid mod_rewrite.
Mapping url directories to file directories is a basic functionnality of Apache handled by the mode mod_alias (which is quite certainly already present for you).
So basically you have the Alias and AliasMatch directives. In your case the first one is enough:
Alias /products/ /path/to/web/document/root/shop/
The mapping is done only server-side so the url seen by the end user is never modified.
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^products/(.*) shop/$1 [L]
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^products/(.+)$ /shop/$1 [L,NC]
I’m a newcomer in the development world. I desperately try to get the good URL. I checked the site for similar problems but I can’t find exactly what I need. Or I do it badly.
Here is the situation: I set up a project for a site whose the index.php file is in a folder named Public.
To be clearer, here is the URL I have now to reach the homepage of the built site:
http:// Domain Name.com/ Folder / Name of the site/public
My concern is about the folder Public: I don’t want it appears in the URL.
Here is the URL I’d like to get:
http:// Domain Name.com/ Folder / Name of the site
In fact, I’d like this URL permits to get the index file placed in the folder "Public".
I can’t access the Apache configurations (shared host) so I have a .htaccess I placed in the project (i.e: www/ Folder /Name of the site /.htaccess). Here is its content:
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html [NC,L]
I made something very simple for now because I tried lots of things without efficient result.
Not really sure what you are trying to do, but if you want to remove the /public/ path that appears in the URL, you need to remove it from all your links, second, turn off multiviews, it's not what you want, third, you need a rule to externally redirect the browser when a request is made for /public/, then you need to internally rewrite requests to point to public.
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
# externally redirect, must match against %{THE_REQUEST}
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD|POST)\ /public/
RewriteRule ^/?public/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# internally rewrite it back, but we must first check that it's pointing to a valid resource:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public%{REQUEST_URI} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/public%{REQUEST_URI} -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L]
The user requests a PNG image, say: http://server/myfolder/subfolder/1234.png. If that .png doesn't exist, then I want to show instead a .gif in the same folder of the same name except for the .gif extension, which should exist.
Another addition is that we recently changed the directory structure so the URL that I need to check may have changed. For example, the URL above should be able to be reached by requesting either directly as http:// server/myfolder/subfolder/1234.pngor by http://server/oldfolder/1234.png. The change in the directory structure can be expressed as:
RewriteRule oldfolder/(.*) myfolder/subfolder/$1 [L,QSA]
In both directories, I need to check if the file exists, and use a different image instead if necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try adding the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site.
It should work with your changed file structure too.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#if the file does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#and is in any of these folders: /myfolder/subfolder or /folder1 or /folder2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(myfolder/subfolder|folder1|folder2)/ [NC]
#and its a png, then try to serve the gif instead
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.png$ $1.gif [L,NC]
I'm trying to remove file extensions with htaccess, so www.mysite.com/file.php becomes www.mysite.com/file.
I'm using the following code in the .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
So far, so good. Where it falls down is in subfolders: www.mysite.com/subfolder/file.php
becomes www.mysite.com/file.
I've tried uploading another .htaccess file in the subfolder, but it still does the same. It feels like it should be really simple, but I'm struggling...can anyone help me out? Thanks!
Edit Sorry folks, should have said - the file is in a subfolder like so:
www.mysite.com/folder/subfolder/file.php
The .htaccess file is in /folder, the URL changes to this format:
www.mysite.com/subfolder/file
Apologies for misleading.
This is the rule you'll need to hide .php extension. This goes into your .htaccess in the DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
# To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
You shouldn't be using rewrite rules for this. Apache has built-in option explicitly for doing what you're trying to do, called MultiViews, and that's what you should be using:
The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo.*, and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client's requirements.
Just add Options MultiViews to your .htaccess, and make sure that AllowOverride is properly configured.
A guess in the wild
Try
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
