Filepath: /Users/user_name/Sites/example.com
Browseable at: http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/
In a child directory (chrome) I got a .htaccess like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^rgba\((\d{1,3}%?,\s?\d{1,3}%?,\s?\d{1,3}%?,\s?[0-1]?\.?\d+)\)$ rgba.php?rgba=$1 [PT]
This matches a request like:
http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/chrome/rgba(255,255,255,0.5)
and should rewrite the request to:
http://localhost/~user_name/example.com/chrome/rgba.php?rgba=(255,255,255,0.5)
I put the rgba.php in the chrome directory. Still I get this error msg:
The requested URL /Users/user_name/Sites/example.com/chrome/rgba.php was not found on this server.
I read the part in the manual about Home directory expansion and the [PT] flag but it makes no difference.
If i put up a vhost pointing to the example.com directory it works. I would like it to work both ways =P
So how do I do it?
I run Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) on a Mac OS X
EDIT
AllowOverride is set to All for the users Sites directory. If it wasn´t the rewrite shouldn´t have worked at all.
I spent half a day wracking my brains on this and the only solution I could find was to create a new VirtualHost with the DocumentRoot set to the user's home directory.
Holy god that was frustrating. But I have it working.
I tried a bunch of stuff. I thought that the PT flag on the RewriteRule would fix it, but nope.
I still don't know how to stop the home directory expansion, but I figured out a workaround. Just before the RewriteRule, use RewriteBase /~user_name/example.com/chrome/. This overrides the rewrite's prefix (log entry from my config):
<SNIP> (2) [perdir /Users/colin/Sites/ajaxtest/] trying to replace prefix /Users/colin/Sites/ajaxtest/ with /~colin/ajaxtest/
UPDATE
This solution works somewhat, but it appears to make the rewrite engine trigger twice... once for the internal redirect, and again afterwards. I ended up just using a VirtualHost like the other submitter.
Allow overrides in you configuration file for your home directories.

This simple RewriteRule that I am using for practicing with .htaccess files works almost always:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*$ test.html
When I have the file flowers.html and I use http://localhost/flowers I get redirected to test.html, however when I rename flowers.html to flowers.php I get a 404 page with the message The requested URL /flowers was not found on this server. Does anyone know what causes this?
EDIT:
When I create an empty file called flowers it does redirect properly to test.html. What is going on here?
This does sound like a conflict with MultiViews, so try adding the following at the top of your .htaccess file to disable MultiViews:
Options -MultiViews
MultiViews is not enabled by default, so maybe this has been enabled in your server config?
When MultiViews (part of mod_negotiation) is enabled, a request for /flowers (no extension) will result in Apache searching for an appropriate file to return (based on mime-type) by trying various file extensions of files found in that directory. This is achieved with an internal subrequest before mod_rewrite runs.
However, it's not clear why this would be a problem in your case if you have no other directives? Since your directive simply rewrites everything to test.html (which should include any subrequests). (I was unable to reproduce this behaviour on my Apache 2.4 test server - hence my initial doubt.)
i m using XAMPP but i m not able to use .htaccess file at local host. i m trying so many times.. Online working good. but local host showing [The requested URL was not found on this server]
My root folder is real

Please
Just had a similar issue
Resolved it by checking in httpd.conf
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All <--- make sure this is not set to "None"
It is worth bearing in mind I tried (from Mark's answer) the "put garbage in the .htaccess" which did give a server error - but even though it was being read, it wasn't being acted on due to no overrides allowed.
In conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, add the line AllowOverride All for all the websites that you are having problem with
<VirtualHost example.site:80>
# rest of the stuff
<Directory "c:\Projects\example.site">
Require all granted
AllowOverride All <-----This line is required
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Try
<IfModule mod_rewrite.so>
...
...
...
</IfModule>
instead of <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Without seeing your system it's hard to tell what's wrong but try the following (comment answer if these didn't work WITH log error messages)
[STOP your Apache server instance. Ensure it's not running!]
1) move apache server/install to a folder that has no long file names and spaces
2) check httpd.conf in install\conf folder and look for AccessFileName. If it's .htaccess change it to a file name windows accepts (e.g. conf.htaccess)
3) double-check that your htaccess file gets read: add some uninterpretable garbage to it and start server: you should get an Error 500. If you don't, file is not getting read, re-visit httpd.conf file (if that looks OK, check if this is the only file which defines htaccess and it's location and it does at one place -within the file- only; also check if both httpd.conf and htaccess files are accessible: not encrypted, file access rights are not limited, drive/path available -and no long folder path and file names-)STOP Apache again, then go on:
4) If you have IIS too on your system, stop it (uninstall it too if you can) from services.msc
5) Add the following to the top of your valid htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/path/logs/rewrite.log" #make sure path is there!
RewriteLogLevel 9
6) Empty your [apache]\logs folder (if you use another folder, then that one :)
7) Check the following entries are set and correct:
Action application/x-httpd-php "c:/your-php5-path/php-cgi.exe"
LoadModule php5_module "c:/your-php5-path/php5apache2.dll"
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Avoid long path names and spaces in folder names for phpX install too!
8) START apache server
You can do all the steps above or go one-by-one, your call. But at the end of the day make sure you tried everything above!
If system still blows up and you can't fix it, copy&paste error message(s) from log folder for further assistance
I had a similar problem. But the problem was in the file name '.htaccess', because the Windows doesn't let the file's name begin with a ".", the solution was rename the file with a CMD command. "rename c:\xampp\htdocs\htaccess.txt .htaccess"
for xampp vm on MacOS capitan, high sierra, MacOS Mojave (10.12+), you can follow these
1. mount /opt/lampp
2. explore the folder
3. open terminal from the folder
4. cd to `htdocs`>yourapp (ex: techaz.co)
5. vim .htaccess
6. paste your .htaccess content (that is suggested on options-permalink.php)
For windows user, make sure to closely look at this section.
RewriteRule ^properties$ /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
As said in Apache documentation :
The mod_rewrite module uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on a
PCRE regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.
So ^properties$ means Apache will only look for URL that has exact match with properties.
You might want to try this code.
RewriteRule properties /property_available.php/$1 [NC,QSA]
So Apache will see the URL that has properties and rewrite it to /property_available.php/
I've setup xampp for my localhost as well, I've not done anything with the files created by xampp during or after setup.
But in the '.htaccess' file, make sure you've set it to something like this. Works for me, and this should not make any difference for you.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^filename/?$ filename.html
Change .html to whatever format you're using.
Make sure your install is clean, and just make the .htaccess file.
Also remember to put one .htaccess file for each directory (don't really know if you can use ONE file for all folders, but to be safe, just do this and it will always work.
Edit the .htaccess file, so the first line reads 'Test.':
Test.
Set the default handler
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

I am trying to get pretty urls using htaccess for SLIR image resizing plugin.
I want to rewrite something like below:
Before Rewrite:
localhost/img/600x400/slider/image.jpg
After Rewrite
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img/slider/image.jpg
But the following code is returning a 500 Internal server error...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]{1,4})x([0-9]{1,4})/(.*)\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png) application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=$2&h=$3&i=$1/$4.$5 [NC,NE,QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Please help me.....
UPDATE
I thought it was a File Permissions issue...
so I checked all the related directories and files, surprisingly there were all 755/644.
Then I directly checked the /application/public/slir/index.php. It was not accessible.
I created another file named hello.php in the same slir directory and hello.php was accessible.
Then I moved the SLIR directory to the another folder named public. Here, both the index.php and hello.php were accessible.
After that, I moved SLIR directory to back to the original scripts folder. In scripts folder, hello.php is accessible but index.php is not accessible.
Now, Both files have same permissions and are in same folder.. I dont know what is happening here... :/ :/
Someone please help me......
In case anyone else is looking at this - the problem I found was these two lines in the htaccess file:
php_value auto_prepend_file none
&
php_value auto_append_file none
some servers don't allow them.
moving them to my php.ini file solved it for me:
auto-prepend-file = none
auto-append-file = none
That is probably because you are editing the .htaccess file with a Windows based editor like notepad. Notepad adds some characters to the file which you can't see, but they mess with the .htaccess. I recommend using an editor like Notepad++ and setting the mode to Unix, so it won't mess with the server..
Speaking technically that is because Linux and Windows have different type of EOL ( End Of Line ) so that notepad adds some characters to the end of every line to go to the next line, but Unix won't recognize them, because it has it's own type of EOL..
Slashes are normally forbidden in query strings, but you can enable them by setting
AllowEncodedSlashes directive.
You may also want your rewrite rule to use percent encoding for slashes (that is %2F) so after rewrite:
localhost/application/public/slir/index.php?r=slir&w=600&h=400&i=img%2Fslider%2Fimage.jpg

Duplicate, phrased very differently:
Has anyone used Smart Image Resizer on subdomain sites?
The problem is the subdomain...
My htaccess file is the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/post/([0-9]+) /blog.php?post=$1
RewriteRule ^blog/page/([0-9]+) /blog.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^work/([0-9]+) /work.php?ID=$1
The work.php rule is working, but the two blog rules aren't. They used to all work, but I recently moved my server. Any ideas why this would be?
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
Woah, I noticed that I had a work folder, but no blog folder, so I made one, and now this works. Any ideas why?
I just set up a (virtual) server on my local Apache 2.2 installation, running PHP 5.2 as a module. The server's document root contained only php files to (simplistically) process the examples you gave above (just echoing the parameters from $_GET). My .htaccess file at the document root contained only what you specified above, and nothing else. The document root did not contain the subdirectories /work or /blog (or /blog/post or /blog/page).
My setup did not have any problems at all rewriting the SEO-friendly URLs to the proper PHP files, which in turn echoed the parameter values I expected from $_GET.
There is something other than mod_rewrite requiring the existence of the subdirectories, and Apache is hitting (and thus requiring) it before it processes the rewrite rules. Not sure what it is, but it does not appear to be mod_rewrite, given the rules you have above.
I am running a website on MAMP, and the root is http://localhost/sandbox
When I have links that link to, for example - /calendar
it directs them to localhost/calendar, I want it to redirect to localhost/sandbox/calendar
What would I have to do in htaccess to get it to redirect everything to localhost/sandbox/ as the root?
You would usually change the application or site that generates the links, and have that add the /sandbox to the URL.
If that's not possible, putting this into the web root directory (the one above /sandbox) should do:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/sandbox # If URL does not start with /sandbox...
RewriteRule (.*) /sandbox/$1 # Add /sandbox/ in front of it
(if it's easier to achieve with Alias, Apache Gurus, feel free to add your solution, but I couldn't get Alias to work for this scenario.)
However, this solution will make any other directory besides /sandbox inaccessible. You may want to re-think your Virtual hosts structure!
