I have a domain at example.com
There is a subdirectory that has a quiz on it, located at example.com/quiz/?id=1
I need to change the ?id=1 to TakeTheQuiz so it would look like example.com/quiz/TakeTheQuiz
Here is what my .htaccess looks like right now (the .htaccess is located in the root direct at example.com). Right now I always get a server 500 error.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /quiz
RewriteRule ^?id=1$ TaketheQuiz
This is really simple and all of the examples I have seen have been really complicated and hard for me to apply it to this one :( Help, anyone? Thank you for your time.
You've just got the rule the wrong way round:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /quiz
RewriteRule ^TaketheQuiz$ ?id=1 [L]
EDIT
Per your comment try this instead:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=1
RewriteRule ^$ TaketheQuiz [R=301,L]

I have the following htaccess rules but I dont know how to make it work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^game/([^/]*)$ index.php?cash=$1
The following is the screen shot of my folders structure:
Can someone tell me how to get it to work? I have also tried:
RewriteRule ^index.php([^/]*)$ index.php?cash=$1
The URL that I want to display is: http://localhost/biteep/game/100 while the URL that I want the browser to go to is http://localhost/biteep/game?cash=100
Try to put a rewrite base into your .htaccess:
RewriteBase /biteep/
And this route should be enough:
RewriteRule ^game\/(\d+)$ index.php?cash=$1
So it works when I do this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ index.php?cash=$1
I'm trying to get MapRewrite working for some vanity urls but I'm just not having any luck. I don't get errors, it just doesn't seem to work (redirect).
Here's the code I put in my vhost.conf:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap vanURL txt:/var/www/vhosts/myconditions.txt
RewriteCond ${vanURL:$1|not-found} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond %1 ~^not-found$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /${vanURL:$1|/$1} [L]
What I'm looking to do is to determine if "www.mydomain.com/some_folder" exists. If it doesn't, look in "myconditions.txt" for "some_folder" and redirect to the corresponding location.
Here's an example of MyConditions.txt
some_folder another_folder
some_folder_two another_folder_two
Visiting www.mydomain/some_folder is simply a dead link.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
(Note that I did test putting garbage in my Vhost.conf and .htaccess to ensure the files are being read)
You cannot use %1 in LSH of the condition, use a negative lookahead like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap vanURL txt:/var/www/vhosts/myconditions.txt
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)(/.*)?$ /${vanURL:$1}$2 [PT]
I want to redirect website user to www.mywebsite/users.php?user=xyz when the user types http://xyz.mywebsite.com into the address bar where http://xyz.mywebsite.com is virtual and doesnt exist.
I am a beginner and doesnt know much about url rewriting. Tried to search google and stack overflow but didnt got the solution.
I started with this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).mobilehealthnig.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/users.php?subdomain=%1
</IfModule>
also tried this but none of these are working for me
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mywebsite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+).mywebsite.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /users.php?subdoamin=%1
Ok, based on your additional input I suggest this setup:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mywebsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mywebsite.com/users.php?subdomain=%1 [L]
</IfModule>
If that does not work (I take that from your comment), you have to check where the actual problem is:
does rewriting work at all?
does this rule do anything atall? what?
is that rule ignored? why?
What absolutely makes most sense in such cases is to turn on rewrite logging to see and understand what is actually happening inside the rewrite engine. Please take a look at the two commands RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel inside the manual mentioned. Enable a log level of maybe 7 and look what is logged when you make a single request. It should give you an idea of where to look for the cause of the problem.
I'm having some mod_rewrite problems with my .htaccess..
RewriteBase /folder
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ basic.php?url=$1 [L]
Above is what I'm currently using. However, I have no idea what I'm doing to be honest as I'm just cycling through the internet trying to figure this out.
Basically, for my website, if you type in
www.domain.com/folder/xxx/
I want it to basically be www.domain.com/folder/basic.php?url=xxx.
For some reason, all that does is cause a 404 error :/
So can someone please politely point me in the right direction?
Ok, I will explain using your htaccess.
RewriteEngine on
Turn on the Rewrite Module to enable URL rewriting
RewriteBase /folder
Rewrite the Base Directory to directory name folder
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ basic.php?url=$1 [L]
Remap every request make using the folder/***** to basic.php?url=********
Note: RewriteEngine On Should be the first statement on your case
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ folder/basic.php?url=$1 [L]
This is more of a problem with regexs than .htaccess files.

I want to rewrite urls like index.php?c=4 & index.php?g=23 into website.com/games/categoryname/id/
and the same thing for the game page website.com/play/gamename/id/
my htaccess file looks like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?c=$3
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?g=$3
The problem is that only the first rewrite rule is working, if I comment it, then the second will work too, but never both :(. I'm testing this on MAMP
Can you please help me?
They cannot work both as they have the same condition - you have set two different actions with the same criteria and only the first one is executed.
Ah, I understood what you are trying to achieve:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(games)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?c=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(play)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?g=$3 [L]
You have to do something like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^play/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?c=$2
RewriteRule ^games/([a-zA-Z0-9\-_%]+)/([0-9]+)/$ index.php?g=$2
