I've been trying to set up .htaccess to create clean PHP URL. My goal is to achieve clean URLs within the folder CL.
.htaccess:
# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# This is the initialization
# For security reasons, Option followsymlinks cannot be overridden.
#Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# /CL/var1/var2/var3
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^CL/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/?$ /CL/index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2&var3=$3 [L,QSA]
# /CL/var1/var2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^CL/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/?$ /CL/index.php?var1=$1&var2=$2 [L,QSA]
# /CL/var1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^CL/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/?$ /CL/index.php?var1=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
However, for some reason, I get a 500 internal server error when y enter the folder CL. I've used similar .htaccess configurations in the past, but now its not working fore some reason.
Any ideas?
"I've used similar .htaccess configurations in the past, but now its not working fore some reason."
OK, so the ruleset works. I've just tested in on one my test VMs so it still works, so your problem isn't the mod_rewrite functionality in this .htaccess file. So where could it be?
Think laterally. A 500 status is usually a mod_rewrite loop. Have you got an .htaccess file in /CL? This could create a perdir indefinite loop.
Unfortunately DS suggestion of trying to get an answer on error_log content from a shared hosting provider for a $100 pa shared service is a no-no. Morale: set up a test VM on your PC to debug this stuff where you can get root access to the log as article here.

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.
I've never had this issue before, setting up on a new work machine and getting some odd issues. Firstly I should point out that it was working fine and after making some seemingly unrelated edits the routing without index.php became an issue.
I enabled:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
my htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Ive tried a bunch of combinations of this based on stack overflow gthreads. An hour on this seems too long, I can't figure out what's going on.
Step 1 would be to make sure Apache's rewrites are actually working. Try creating a file in your web root named bar.php
#File: bar.php
<p>Hello Bar</p>
And then creating the following in your .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule foo.php bar.php [L]
</IfModule>
And then try loading the URI foo.php on your server
http://mysite.example.com/foo.php
If your web server correctly redirects to bar.php, then you know Apache's setup correctly. If it doesn't, it means rewrites aren't on. Once you know if rewrites are on or off you'll know where to concentrate your debugging.
I would like to map "http://www.example.com/abc" to "http://www.example.com/test/abc" for having the shortest route possible. I am using pyroCMS for my users and content.
the default pyrocms file:
# Multiple Environment config
# Set this to development, staging or production
# SetEnv PYRO_ENV production
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Make sure directory listing is disabled
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
# disable the Apache MultiViews directive if it is enabled on the server. It plays havoc with URL rewriting
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
# Keep people out of codeigniter directory and Git/Mercurial data
RedirectMatch 403 ^/.*/(vendor|composer\.json|composer\.lock|system/cms/cache|system/codeigniter|system/cms/config|system/cms/logs|\.git|\.hg).*$
# Send request via index.php (again, not if its a real file or folder)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
I would like to add this rule to the file:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)$ test/$1
To rewrite "BASE_URL/abc" to "BASE_URL/test/abc"
However,
i tried many positions as to where to put this RewriteRule, my website keeps giving a "Page Missing".
Is my RewriteRule ok? And where do i insert it?
PyroCMS has built-in modular routing ability. see here:
http://docs.pyrocms.com/2.2/manual/developers/basics/modular-routing
If your "http://www.example.com/abc" refers to a custom module,then, you can add a file named "routes.php" in a in config folder of your module.
the folder construction should like this :
addones/shared_addons/modules/your-module/config/routes.php
OR even you can edit the core route config file located at system/cms/config/routes.php and add this line or whatever your routing rules are:
$route['abd'] = 'test/abd';
OR more even, at your control pannel there is a redirect module that you can add redirections.
It all depends on what your rule is supposed to do and how it is supposed to interact (or not interact) with the rest of your site. And considering your entire htaccess file is mostly commented out code (which I removed to make it halfway readable), you just want to place it under RewriteEngine On.
However, since it blindly routes everything into test you need to add a few conditions and make it something lilke:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/test%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_]+)$ test/$1 [L]
I have some domain for example http://domain.com
http://domain.com/sport -> Folder actually exits
http://domain.com/sport/123/ - > Folder dont exist
http://domain.com/sport/123/hello.html - > file dont exist
So when http://domain.com/sport/123/ or
http://domain.com/sport/123/hello.html is visited..Instead of throwing not found error it must show the content of the first folders index.php , that is in this example it must show the contents of http://domain.com/sport/index.php
I tried below code.but it throws 500 internal error
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/.*$ /$1/index.php [L]
Do you still get a 500 internal server error if you wrap all of your rewrite rules inside an IfModule container? E.G.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/.*$ /$1/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
If you stop getting the error, but rewriting is still not working, that means you have to turn on the rewrite module. How this is done is entirely dependent on your setup, your hosting services setup, and/or whether you have access to the httpd.conf file.
I have this htaccess setup on my clients site, they use godaddy
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
it worked fine on my MAMP but does not seem to work on the server
they have setup a subdomain like demo.example.com and the htaccess exists in the demo folder but I get 404 trying to get to page like demo.example.com/test but demo.example.com/test.php works fine so this tells me the htaccess is not work. does anyone know what I need to do to make this work ?
Try:
1) Add this line into your .htaccess: Options +FollowSymlinks
2) Add leading slash before $1, e.g. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]
P.S. There are some "rumours" that GoDaddy may not pick up changes in .htaccess file straight away.
I would also suggest to define custom 404 error handler (simple PHP script) that may help with debugging this (put this line into your .htaccess):
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
404.php (as simple as this)
<?php
Echo "404\n";
phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);
The details there may help identify the issue.
UPDATE:
We have a domain name & hosting that we do not use which is about to expire. So I have logged in and tested these rules myself. Got it working straight away. Here is the setup I have:
Apache/1.3.33
Hosting Configuration: 2.1
PHP 5.x (did not bothered to check exact version)
Data Center: US Regional
.htaccess was already present and had only 1 line 9possibly left over from the site that was there originally):
addhandler x-httpd-php5 .phtml
These lines were added to .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]
I have created simple php file to check if it works. Called it echo.php. Then I have tried these URLs:
http://www.example.com/abcd -- saw error page (as expected)
http://www.example.com/echo -- saw my page -- echo.php (as expected)
The full physical path to the echo.php is: /home/content/b/u/y/buyxxxxxxx/html/echo.php; ftp/website root is /home/content/b/u/y/buyxxxxxxx/html/
Try this simple setup. DO not do anything complex until you solve this issue.
This is right way of play with .htaccess on godaddy
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php [L,QSA]
This answer on Stack Overflow might help you aswell:
Add this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -Indexes
at the very top and give it a try.
