i try to redirect url's like:
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
i've tried with:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
but it is not working
my currently htaccess file has only the first line:
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
and videos only loads at
example.com/video/1640/video-name/
url type
i want to redirect the non-backslash url type
example.com/video/1640/video-name
to the correct one (the one with the backslash)
How can i do this?
Your second rule should be RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
Or you could forgo the redirect totally, and just say RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/?$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L] which will allow both to view your video.
Update FallingBullets is right (see the comments on this answer), his answer better suites the OP's problem, so please ignore this answer (I am leaving it for reference, though).
Maybe you simply have to prefix your pattern with a /?? E. g.
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
# ^ these ones
instead of
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ video.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /video/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ [R=301,L]
since you are anchoring the pattern at the beginning of the path (using ^).

i am working on project, which is running XAMPP localhost and PHP MYSQLI,
my question : how i replace "?","=" signs with "/" slash. ?
like, my url is "archive?date=2017-06-02&p=4"
and i want to force it "archive/2017-08-02/4"
i found many codes on stackoverflow and some other sites, but that are not working for me.
if codes are working then, CSS files and GET method doesn't work on my project.
complete code of .htaccess is given below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)=(.*) /$1/$2/$3 [N]
RewriteRule ^([^=]*)=([^=]*)$ $1/$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^home index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^archive archive.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^about about.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article article.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news news.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video videos.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^video?vid=([0-9]+) videos.php?q=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article?num=([0-9]+) article.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^editorial?num=([0-9]+) editorial.php?num=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news?news=([0-9]+) news.php?news=$1 [NC,L]
You cannot check against the query string in a rewrite rule. You need rewrite conditions for that:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2?
Demo here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=81e85c09-d505-5206-ab14-6c5059107808
If you want to actually redirect just add [R=301,L] to the end of the RewriteRule.
However, looking at the above I suspect you have your script sitting listening at /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar but want URLs to be like /archive/date/p, ie pretty.
This is actually a very common misconception about how htaccess URL rewrites work when you first get into them.
RewriteRules will mask or redirect URLs for you but they cannot change the underlying location a script is located at and thus the address used to pass it information.
In other words - you can mask /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as /archive/date/p so that requests made to /archive/date/p resolve to /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar, but you cannot make it so that if you enter /archive/index.php?data=foo&p=bar as URL you have the URL change to /archive/date/p while still serving content from /archive/date/p. It has to be either or.
If this all sounds about right my advice would be as follows:
First, put your code into a different file, say /archive/script.php.
Next add the following to your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} date=([^&]+)&p=(.+)
RewriteRule ^archive/? /archive/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^archive/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /archive/script.php?date=$1&p=$2
Note that the first two lines are the same as before, but now there is a new line that looks for the masked URL format of /archive/date/p and sends it off to the actual script, which is handled by the new RewriteRule.
The behaviour of the new rule is demoed here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=06751667-f16f-5c13-91eb-dd5cffdc6db3
Hope this makes sense / helps.
I have these links in my website:
www.example.org/folder/files.php?file=folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf
and I want redirect to :
www.example.org/files/folder/document.pdf
www.example.org/files/2009.pdf
I tried :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
but doesn't work!
any help?
RewriteRule ^files/(.*)$ /files.php?file=$1 [R=301,L]
There are two issues with this rule ... first, what you are matching needs to appear first in the rule, then what you are rewriting appears second - you have that backwards.
Once you reverse that, though, you run into the second issue - you can't match query strings in a RewriteRule, you need to match them in a RewriteCond:
To match www.example.org/folder/files.php?force&file=2009.pdf and redirect it to www.example.org/files/2009.pdf you would do:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^force&file=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/files.php$ /files/%1 [R=301, L]
The %1 matches what's in the parentheses in the RewriteCond.
Search on google first. The first thing displayed on google for htaccess is htaccess redirect. I think
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html (same line with a space) should work. Go to http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/242/How+do+I+redirect+my+site+using+a+.htaccess+file%3F . Php would also do the work. Just goolgle things before asking them.
I have got this rule.. which I put as my first rule
RewriteRule ^categories_compare/$ index.php?app_table_comparison=3 [L]
This is the url that I type:
http://apps.com/categories_compare
The problem is that it doesnt do the redirect.. why is that?
This is part of my htaccess:
RewriteRule ^news2/([^/\.]+).(html)$ index.php?news_url_two=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^news/([^/\.]+).(html)$ index.php?news_url=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^categories_compare/?$ index.php?app_table_comparison=3 [L]
I want the last rule to work.
Your regular expression is: ^news3/$, so it wants a trailing / at the end but you're only going to news3. Try changing your rule to:
RewriteRule ^news3/?$ index.php?app_table_comparison=3 [L]
The /? means the slash is optional.
RewriteRule categories_compare http://fuckedapps.com/index.php?app_table_comparison=3 [L]
Okay that is the solution without any ^ or / or ^ or $.
Weird thing that it didnt work when I put ^categories_
I've got:
RewriteRule ^page/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
Which points page/([^/\.]+)/? to index.php?page=$1.
When I go to page/([^/\.]+)/, I don't want to see index.php (which is achieved from the above)
For the reverse, when I go to index.php, I want to see a visible 301 redirection to page/([^/\.]+)/.
How do I do this without causing an infinite loop... or do I only rely on canonical tags?
Update:
I got it happening in one direction (new to old), but not the other (Old to new)
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)-yum/?$ yum/?x=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)-yum/?$ yum/?x=$2&y=$1 [L]
You need to do a check against the %{THE_REQUEST} variable so that you are rewriting only when the actual request is for the index.php file:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?page=([^&]+)([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^/?index\.php$ /page/%1/?%2 [L,R=301]
So if a browser requests http://yourdomain.com/index.php?page=qwe&someother=var
It should get redirected to: http://yourdomain.com/page/qwe/?someother=var
Full solution here:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Variable=([A-Za-z]+)$
RewriteRule OldURL/$ /NewURL/%1? [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^NewUrl/([^/\.]+)$ MappedNewLocationFolder/?Variable=$1 [L]
1st Line: Check (the name and number of) parameters are as expected
2nd Line: Check base path of parameter(s), which is OldURL is correct and 301 to NewUrl
3rd Line: Map NewUrl to actual location where file sits (not shown in browser)
(The question mark right at the end of 2nd line strips out the variables from appending to the NewUrl)
My blog's .htaccess is setup in such a way that one page is accessed through multiple URLs, and displays different content depending on which URL is visited.
http://kn3rdmeister.com/category/blog/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/
all are actually using http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php.
The .htaccess file is very handy in the sense that I only need to redirect to one page (pretty much ever) just with different query strings. After a lot messing around with 'em, all of my rules finally work, and I'm dang glad that they do. Well, almost all of them work. The last one does not.
the .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog\.php$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/?$ blog.php [L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/?$ /category/blog/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/blog/page/([0-9]*)/?$ /category/blog/?pagenum=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [L]
The last rule is supposed to redirect to the "permanent link" page for each blog post. Being that each URL is unique, I'm using the post URLs as the unique identifier. Essentially, it is supposed to pass the "url" query string through "blog.php". The PHP script takes over, sees that the "url" query string is set, and then loads the only post with that exact URL in it's row.
The script works, but the redirect doesn't. Going directly to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/blog.php?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
will load the right content. However, going to
http://kn3rdmeister.com/2012/07/04/amsterdam-ave/
doesn't.
Try adding QSA (Query String Append). Also, invert rules so that "deeper" links go on top.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$ /category/blog/?url=http://kn3rdmeister.com/$1/$2/$3/$4/ [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2&day=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1&month=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?$ /category/blog/?year=$1 [QSA,L]
But, you can't use rewritten links in other rules. So wherever you have category/blog/ replace it with blog.php.
Whilst webarto comments are good advice, your problem is a missing [:
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/([^/]+)/?$
not
^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(^/]+)/?$
