I've successfully rewritten
RewriteRule ^alphabetical alpha.php
So that when anyone comes to www.example.com/alphabetical it loads alpha.php. However, I'm having problems creating a rule so that when someone comes to www.example.com/alphabetical/a it should loa alpha-a.php. This is the rule I've tried that isn't working:
RewriteRule ^alphabetical/a alpha-a.php
put your second more specific rule on top of the the first rule.
RewriteRule ^alphabetical/a alpha-a.php
RewriteRule ^alphabetical alpha.php
further, you can use a $ at the end to denote an end of url, saying urls ending with 'a'.

For my family members I was giving each person their own subdomain
(sister1.mydomain.com, sister2.mydomain.com, etc...)
I was using PHP to detect the domain, and then I'd load information related to the subdomain dynamically.
I'd like to get rid of the subdomains and use the power of .htaccess
My goal is to give the same URL:
www.mydomain.com/sister1
www.mydomain.com/sister2
www.mydomain.com/mommy
www.mydomain.com/daddyo
Obviously, I don't plan to have literal working directories for each person.
I'd pass the "sister1" portion to a process.php script that takes care of the rest.
I've figure out how to do it by manually typing each RewriteRule in my htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?sister1$ process.php?entity=sister1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?sister2$ process.php?entity=sister2[L]
RewriteRule ^/?mommy$ process.php?entity=mommy[L]
RewriteRule ^/?daddyo$ process.php?entity=daddyo[L]
I feel this is the long way of doing it.
Is there a more universal way of extracting the text after the first "/" forwardslash, and passing it to process.php?entity=$1 ?
I tried it this way:
RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ process.php?entity=$1 [NC,L]
I'm getting the apache 404 error: "Not Found".
It is because you have a mandatory / in the beginning of your rule, i.e., you are always looking for something like /sibling in the URL. Your first examples have that first forward slash as optional due to the question mark after it.
You do not need a beginning forward slash - normally the rewrite rule picks up stuff after the domain name
www.example.com/string/mod/rewrite/gets/is.here
So just remove the starting slash and it should work.
I am using scssphp for my css preprocessing and right now my styles look like src="style.php/style.scss". What I was wanting is to use a htaccess to just write in the style and then anything ending in .scss would get run through style.php. So I tried putting this in my home directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.scss$ style.php/$1.scss
I even tried
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteRule ^(.*)\.scss$ style.php/style.scss
Neither work, something is happening, because my style.scss is loading with a 500 internal server error, but I'm not sure where the error is.
Your rules are looping, try adding an additional check to not rewrite when the URI has style.php in it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !style\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.scss$ style.php/$1.scss
The rewrite engine will continue to loop through your rules until the URI stops chanmging. What's happening with your rule is that a request like /path/style.scss is getting procfessed and rewritten to /style.php/path/style.scss, and the the rewrite engine loops. The second time around, the rule gets applied again and it rewrites to: /style.php/style.php/path/style.scss, etc.
a better regex to get requested file name would be [a-z_A-Z]+.scss
try your htaccess using this syntax
I'm trying to redirect from domain.com/user/12345 to domain.com/user?id=12345 and from domain.com/user/12345/profile to domain.com/user/profile?id=12345.
I've written this rule in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]*)(/.*)?$ user$2?id=$1 [L,QSA]
It works ok for domain.com/user/12345/profile but domain.com/user/12345 is not redirected.
I've also tried with this simplest form for this case:
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]*)$ user?id=$1 [L,QSA]
I've tested both in http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ and seems to work fine.
¿What is my mistake? ¿How can I do it?
UPDATE:
The next rule I've in this file rewrites from domain.com/user to domain.com/user.php and so on. If the previous rule is not defined it rewrites ok from domain.com/user/12345 to domain.com/user/12345.php but with the previous rule defined it neither does this rewriting.
Does it means that there is any kind or transformation that skip the second rule or that there is any kind of misyake that stops rules verification?
I've found the solution. I don't know why it worked well in a case and not in the other but I'd forgotten the slash so it was trying to rewrite to user?id=12345and not to /user?id=12345.
So the rule must be like this one:
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]*)(/.*)?$ /user$2?id=$1 [L,QSA]
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
I have an old url at:
http://example.com/search/admin
I want to make it go to:
http://example.com/cgi-bin/admin
This is what I have so far, which could be completely wrong...
RewriteRule ^/search/admin$ https://example.com/cgi-bin/admin
The mod_rewrite is definitely on and working and I am using apache 2.2.
Little correction to Benubird post:
RewriteRule ^search\/admin\/?$ cgi-bin/admin [L]
RewriteRules never start with a slash and the redirect can be without slash.
the ^ character matches the start of a line ( or url in this case). Just a thought, but maybe your line should be:
RewriteRule ^/search/admin$ /cgi-bin/admin
Otherwise I suspect you'll either not be redirected, or be getting redirected to https://example.comhttps://example.com/cgi-bin/admin
