I am using direct paths for downloading files from my site. the link is something like this
http://www.site.com/download.php?dir1/dir/dir3/file.doc
i want to wrap it with mod rewite rules so that only below link should be appeared
http://www.site.com/download
file, dir and dir3 are variable.
what i'hv to do in my .htaccess file?? Any Idea??
A simple redirect would be:
RewriteRule ^http://www.site.com/download/(.*)/?$ http://www.site.com/download.php?dir1/dir/dir3/$1 [NC,L]
This will take any request for something in the 'artificial' download directory and route it to the real location.
You can add more complex rules stripping out filetypes etc depending on your needs, or redirecting a 'name' to a filename etc etc..
e.g:
RewriteRule ^http://www.site.com/download/pdf/(.*)/?$ http://www.site.com/download.php?dir1/dir/dir3/$1.pdf [L,NC]
This would have an artificial PDF folder containing a filename ex the extension, routing to a .pdf doc....you can shape the redirect any way you like really...depends on the format you prefer
Not specific question. What is dir1/dir/dir3/file.doc means? If you want to get http://www.site.com/download.php?dir1/dir/dir3/file.doc, when you go to http://www.site.com/download do the next things in your .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^download/(.*)/?$ download.php?dir1/dir/dir3/file.doc [L]

I have two URL conditions and I wanted to redirect them like this:
https://www.example.com/feeds/4aceXy to https://www.example.com/direct_feed/4aceXy
Now the problem is, I am also using the URL for an older link like this one:
https://wwww.example.com/feeds/5bdb39711b41d479273e678a6f356603d7109ffc.xml
I wanted to avoid redirect with .xml extension here is my current redirect:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
It works fine but I don't want to redirect it with .xml based URL.
My question is - is there a condition that can help me to avoid the rewrite if a parameter contains .xml in regX (.*)?$
You can use a negative lookbehind:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?(?<!\.xml)$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
Example: wp_file*.log -- what that should do is to password protect every file whose filename start with wp_file and ends with .log -- for example wp_file-22.log and wp_file_randomfile.log.
Possible?
The way I would make this, is by adding a rewrite rule for those files, redirect to some PHP file with the origional request in the GET. The PHP file can than show a password box and eventually the content of the log file once logged in.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule wp_file(.*)\.log /somePHPfile.php?logFile=wp_file$1 [L]
(not tested)
If you dont need access to the log files via your website (but use e.g. ftp), than you can rewrite the requests to those files to another page
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule wp_file(.*)\.log /index.php [L]
I have a file in a folder like this folder1/folder2/folder3/filename.htm. I also have another file like this folder1/folder2/folder3-filename.htm. When i browse the url mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/filename.htm, i want the folder3-filename.htm will be served (displayed)
I know some basics about file name rewrite rules, but i have not seen any mixed-up combination of folder name and file name in that way.
Could anyone help me how to do it?
Using the expression [^/]+ to match all characters up to but not including the the next / and then .+ to match everything after the last /, the following will work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder1/folder2/([^/]+)/(.+)$ folder1/folder2/$1-$2 [L]
i have a link look like this
http://backlinks.cheapratedomain.com/index.php?backLinks_free_Backlinks=1&totalRows_free_Backlinks=7
want to replace .index.php?backLinks_free_Backlinks=1&totalRows_free_Backlinks=7 this part by /backLinks_free_Backlinks/1 using .htaccess
after replacing link will be look like this
http://backlinks.cheapratedomain.com/backLinks_free_Backlinks/1
Try adding this to your htaccess file in the document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^backLinks_free_Backlinks/([0-9]+)$ /index.php?backLinks_free_Backlinks=$1&totalRows_free_Backlinks=7 [L,QSA]
You can remove the &totalRows_free_Backlinks=7 bit from the target if you don't need it.
I want to create a bunch of files without an extension showing at the end. The easiest way to do that was to do this:
/usa/index.php
/usa/alaska/index.php
/usa/alabama/index.php
/usa/california/index.php
What I want to do is this
/usa/alaska.php
/usa/alabama.php
/usa/california.php
and have it show up as:
/usa/alaska
/usa/alabama
/usa/california
However, I have one more level I want to add to this, the cities
/usa/alaska/adak.php
/usa/alaska/anchorage.php
/usa/california/los-angles.php
I don't want the ".php" showing up, but then each state exists as both a file and a directory. What I want is an htaccess rule that serves up the file version of the file, not the directory which is the default. I also want to strip the .php off of the end of the files so the final result looks like
/usa
/usa/alaska (alaska.php)
/usa/alaska/adak (adak.php)
I know I can get close to this by creating all the directories and using index.php for each directory, but then I will have thousands of directories each with one file in it and updating is a pain in the butt. I would much rather have one directory with 1000 files in it, than 1000 directories with 1 file in it.
Please, can someone point me in the right direction and know that I am doing this for all 50 states.

I would also suggest using a single php (e.g. index.php) file and redirecting all urls starting with usa to it, instead of separating them in different directories and files. The you'd need a couple of rewrite rules like the following
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^usa/([^/.]+)$ index.php?state=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^usa/([^/]+)/([^/.]+)$ index.php?state=$1&city=$2 [L]
So then in your index.php you'd only need to check the $_GET parameters.
Update:
If you don't feel comfortable enough to use a database and pull the needed data from there you could always use the parameters to dynamically include/require the needed files. Something like this
<?php
$source = ''; //or the 'ROOT' directory
if(isset($_GET['state'])) $source .= $_GET['state'].'/';
if(isset($_GET['city'])) $source .= $_GET['city'].'.php';
include($source); // here $source would be something like 'alaska/adak.php'
// and is assumed that the dir 'alaska' is on the same
// level as 'index.php'
?>
But to answer your original question nevertheless you could use the following .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^usa/([^/.]+)$ usa/$1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^usa/([^/]+)/([^/.]+)$ usa/$1/$2.php [L]
what about creating just one single file:
/usa/index.php
With
$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
you can read the current URI.
Well, now if a user enters "http://domain.foo/usa/alaska" for example, he will get an 404 error of course.
But to call your index.php instead, you could write this line to the .htaccess:
ErrorDocument 404 /usa/index.php
Now the index.php receives everything what is written to the URI and you can match the result and include files or handle errors.
But maybe there is a better solution with .htaccess only, don't know. :)
