I've got a site with the following .htaccess rule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1
</IfModule>
It works great but I need to expand it so that IF there is another path taken by the user, I can forward it (but the root path should still work). I tried this, but the site just keeps processing the first RewriteRule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1
RewriteRule /^(.*)$/^(.*)$ /$1.php?id=$2
</IfModule>
Any ideas?
So the root page could be
domain.com/doug so this is /index.php?id=doug
domain.com/dave so this is /index.php?id=dave
The inner path could be
domain.com/group/object1 so this is /group.php?id=object1
domain.com/group/object2 so this is /group.php?id=object2
domain.com/admin/login so this is /admin.php?id=login
Ok, I think you have to go about it differently.
The easy way would be to just pass everything to index.php, chop up the $_GET['id'], and switch($id[0]) on the root folder ('admin', 'group', etc..) as a parameter in your script.
Perhaps even include("group.php") or admin.php inside the index.
Otherwise you're going to run into the problem of the root url's going to non-intended pages like: doug.php and dave.php
It can be done the current way you're headed, but you'll need to hard code cases for each root folder:
Example:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/admin/(.*)$ /admin.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^/group/(.*)$ /group.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1
You'll need these above the working RewriteRule line. That line should always be last, since it's the catch-all / nothing-else-matched / default case.
If hard coding the root pages is not an option, (too dam many or always unknown), you'd be better off in the long run to have your index.php just handle everything anyway.
Hope this helps.

I've wanted to move my index.php file from the root to /system/ folder, this is for no reason but giving myself opporunity to learn more about .htaccess, which I am finding very confusing.
How can I achieve this? Currently my code looks as follows
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?query=$1
This allows for example mydomain.com/some-url/ to become /index.php?query=some-url for example, this far I'm with it all. But moving the file into System folder and addind /system/ before /index.php does nothing. How does one do this? Thanks!
This could be done with a simple rewriterule. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ system/index.php [L]
First I like to say I feel so privileged being here. I have used the answer given here for many years and it has saved me many many hours. I have searched for the answer to my current question with no luck. I believe the answers didn't work because I am adding it to my current .htaccess file which is required. I have asked in my current software program (phpfox) forum but they said it could not be done. I will leave it to stackoverflow experts to tell me whether it can be done or not. Here is my current .htaccess file
Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(file)/(.*) PF.Base/$1/$2
RewriteRule ^static/ajax.php index.php
RewriteRule ^themes/default/(.*) PF.Base/theme/default/$1
RewriteRule ^(static|theme|module)/(.*) PF.Base/$1/$2
RewriteRule ^(Apps|themes)/(.*) PF.Site/$1/$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Here are three examples of the URL for this business page.
DomainName/directory/detail/302/name-of-business/overview/
DomainName/directory/detail/302/name-of-business/aboutus/
DomainName/directory/detail/302/name-of-business/contactus/
I think you get the picture but just in case here is a different business.
DomainName/directory/detail/303/name-of-business/overview/
Now for this business page the /directory/details never changes. The 302 is the primary id of the record in the database table for this business. In that same record is the name-of-business. So if I type in the browser URL DomainName/directory/detail/302 it will still bring me to main overview page even without "name-of-business/overview" at the end of the URL. So I am assuming the php code throws that at the end of the url from the database depending on what menu you click on this specific business.
My dream hope is getting it down to
DomainName/name-of-business/overview
DomainName/name-of-business/contact etc...
But I would even be happy to get rid of at least directory/detail (I am guessing the id "302" is needed since it is the main identifier...just guessing).
DomainName/302/name-of-business/overview
I have tried many different answers here but I feel I also may be putting it on the wrong line in my current .htaccess file. Thank you in advance for any help and your time.
Try with:
Options -Indexes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(file)/(.*) PF.Base/$1/$2
RewriteRule ^static/ajax.php index.php
RewriteRule ^themes/default/(.*) PF.Base/theme/default/$1
RewriteRule ^(static|theme|module)/(.*) PF.Base/$1/$2
RewriteRule ^(Apps|themes)/(.*) PF.Site/$1/$2
# Rewrite DomainName/303/... to DomainName/directory/detail/303/...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(\d+)(/.*|$) index.php?q=directory/detail/$1$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Rewrite DomainName/303/... to DomainName/directory/detail/303/...
but only for external links or once fixed in your pages
I get how to remove index.php from CI urls overall. The following works fine:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /crm/v2/index.php?/$1 [L]
However, it interfers with other code on the live site. This new CI version i'm adding is in a subdir named v2. Thus the layout is something like:
-originalDir
--v2
-otherDirs
-.htaccess
-etc...
So in essence urls come out something like:
// Original page
https://www.site.com/originalDir/somepage.htm
// And this exist too
https://www.site.com/originalDir/index.php
// My new stuff
https://www.site.com/originalDir/v2/index.php/controller/etc...
// Desired effect withOUT affecting the original sites index.php page
// aka, the below is what i WANT but NOT getting!
https://www.site.com/originalDir/v2/controller/etc...
I can code in a lot of languages, but never a lot of experience with these htaccess rewrites. Any ideas on how to make it rewrite index.php for ONLY the codeigniter sub-directory? I've tried a few things that seem to work locally, but not on the live server. Not sure the exact structure of rewrite code.
Assuming you want to only rewrite rules in the CI directory, and not point any URLs outside of that directory to it...
Change your RewriteRule to match only URI's that start with your CI directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^crm/v2/(.*)$ /crm/v2/index.php?/$1 [L]
Alternatively, you can put an .htaccess file in your /crm/v2 directory, and specify a RewriteBase.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /crm/v2/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
Have you tried using RewriteBase?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /crm/v2
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
I have not tested this specifically with your information but this is from a template that I use for some of my projects.
Here is the documentation for RewriteBase: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase
I hope this helps!
i have a strange apache mod_rewrite problem. I need to hide a sub-directory from the user, but redirect every request to that sub-directory. I found several quite similar issues on stackoverflow, but nothing really fits, so i decided to post a new question.
My .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ foo/$1 [QSA,L]
The document-root only contains the following folder/files:
/foo/bar/index.html
I would now expect that example.com/bar and example.com/bar/ would just show me the contents of index.html.
Instead example.com/bar/ show me the content as expected but example.com/bar redirects me with a 301 to example.com/bar/foo/ an then shows the contents. I really don't get why there is a 301 redirect in this case.
When i put something this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*\.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^[^.]*\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [QSA,L]
on top of that rule it seems to work, but that would require me to list every used file extension...
Is there any other way i can omit the redirect, the folder "bar" should never be seen by an outside user.
Thanks in advance!
1st rewrite rule is redirect from /foo/(.) to ($1) and second - from (.) to $1.
just idea, this has not been tested.
Better late than never...
Got it working with a simple RewriteRule which append a / to every url that doesn't have on.
# only directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# exclude there directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/excluded-dirs
# exclude these extensions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.excluded-extension$
# exclude request that already have a /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Currently this is my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
#rewrite the url's
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
So, from the index i render a template, and give it a url.
Normally a page would look like this
www.whatever.com/?url=test/page
But with the rewrite it goes
www.whatever.com/test/page
So the question is {
I have an admin section of the site that I want unaffected by this.
So, /admin needs to access the admin folder in the folder tree.
Thanks for the help

The best way to do this is to not re-write the URL's of real files and directories on the filesystem. This can be achieved by adding a couple rewrite conditions to your rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
Now, these mean, respectively, only rewrite urls that are: not a real file (with > 0 size), not a symlink, and not a directory.
Alternatively, you could just make sure your rule does not match your admin directory:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
The first example is by far the most flexible, however, as it won't interfere with any static files, such as images, etc.
