how can i do that?
can anyone help me?
thanks in advance

Given the URL http://creatii.artcrew.ro/X/Y, how is mod_rewrite supposed to know whether X and Y are creatie_thumb and user values or numecat and numesubcat values?
You need to add something to the URL to differentiate these cases.
For example:
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/user/dee-dee/creatie19
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/cat/poetry/satire
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^user/([^/]*)/$ /creatiiuser.php?user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^cat/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?numecat=$1&numesubcat=$2 [L]

Maybe you're too much generic with your rules and you got conflicts.
Try to map this urls
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/creatii/dee-dee/creatie1
http://creatii.artcrew.ro/categorii/poetry/satire
Starting from those sample you can easily map your urls with no conflict on rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^creaati/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /creatii.php?creatie_thumb=$2&user=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^categorii/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /categorii.php?numecat=$1&numesubcat=$2 [L]
Do some tries :D

Opencart multistore "domain.com/aaa" instead of "aaa.domain.com"

Anyone can help to have "domain.com/store1/any-product" instead of "store1.domain.com/any-product"? The second is what I have and the first is what I would like to have.
Maybe some .htaccess code added? Anything else, please?
You should be able to achieve that by using the following rule in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^store1.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/store1/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
What the above does is if the condition for store1.example.com is met, then it will rewrite the URL to example.com/store1. This will also work for any other directories you have as a part of it. So it would become example.com/store1/about for example.
Make sure you clear your cache before you test this.

How to mod-rewrite language parameter (e.g. ?lang=en) to fake subdomain (e.g. en.mydomain.com)?

It's so hard being a noob. I need someone to help me do this :-(
So basically, I need users to use this url:
en.mydomain.com <- very nice!
instead of using:
www.mydomain.com/index.php?lang=en
I know this is serious .htaccess stuff. Which I may never get my head around without any help. So, Thanks a lot.
You can place this rule as your very first rule in root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(^|&)lang=en(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?lang=en [L,QSA]

Modrewrite for pretty url

How can modrewrite be done in this above situation:
Lets say the website us is: www.real-estate.com
Then we have the first mod rewrite:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
So this will rewrite to something similar: www.real-estate.com/florida and it will list all the real estates in florida.
Then we add this rule:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/(.*)+$ details.php?project=$2
This will rewrite to www.real-estates/florida/project-one and it will display details from that project.
But if I access the link for the city like this: www.real-estae.com/florida/ (with slash last) it will jump me to the second mod rewrite rule, taking me to details.php with an empty variable.
What is the correct solution to slove this problem, so that if the users adds a slash after the city it will still display the projects in that city and not the details page with empty var ?
After playing around I found that his works, but I do not know if it is the correct solution:
I replaced this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/+(.*)$ details.php?project=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
With this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+)/([a-zA-Z\-]+) details.php?project=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\-]+) cities.php?city_url=$1
So I have replaced (.*)$ Why does this work and the other way not I do not know.. Maybe someone can explain.
Probably it fixed the immediate problem but your rules might still match more than required due to faulty regex used and not using anchor $.
For your case use these rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[a-zA-Z-]+/([a-zA-Z-]+)/?$ details.php?project=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z-]+)/? cities.php?city_url=$1 [L,QSA]

htaccess RewriteRule not processing if not all parameters are passed

Hoping someone can help me with this issue...
I have a RewriteRule set up in my htaccess file that looks like this
RewriteRule ^/?find/(.+)/?in/(.+)/(.+)/ /page.html?&type=$1&city=$2&state_abbrev=$3 [L,QSA]
The rewrite works fine if I have a URL that contains all the parameters specified for example: http://www.site.com/find/doctors/in/dallas/tx/
The issue is, I would like to have this rewrite work even if one of the parameters is missing. For example, if I only entered http://www.site.com/find/doctors/ I would still want it to redirect to 'page.html' and just not have the parameters completed. So in that case it would be writing to http://www.site.com/page.html?type=doctors&city=&state_abbrev=. Currently, if I type in a URL that doesn't have all parameters in it the RewriteRule will not work. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance...
Replace your rule with this:
RewriteRule ^/?find/([^/]+)(?:/in/?([^/]*)/?([^/]*)/?)? /page.html?type=$1&city=$2&state_abbrev=$3 [L,QSA]
There is nothing stopping you from having multiple rewrites. I have many in my .htaccess for different things and many times you have to. Not one rewrite will work for all occasions.
You could try this.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^find/(.*)/in/(.*)/(.*) page.html?type=$1&city=$2&state_abbrev=$3&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^find/(.*) page.html?type=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
It will first look for the full URL
http://www.site.com/find/doctors/in/dallas/tx
Then forward it to the first Rewrite rule.
But then if you used this
http://www.site.com/find/doctors
It will skip the first rule and it will match the 2nd rule redirecting to just the partial query string.
Hope that helps but you can make as many rules or conditions you want. And the order in which they come does matter.

Remove string in .htaccess

I have the following entry in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^blogs$ ?name=data&case=gview&group_id=31%1 [L]
What I do is, I redirect blogs to ?name=data&case=gview&group_id=31
Now what happens is, all my urls are now blogs?id=1 etc, but I need them to stay just ?id=1
How can I remove the blogs from rest of the urls?
This what I came up with, but it doesn't work:
RewriteRule ^blogs?(.*)$ /$1 [L]
EDIT I might be explaining it wrong. I need to change the actual url display of the links. Is that actually possible?
Not sure... but is that what you're looking for ?
RewriteRule ^/?$ /blogs [L,QSA]
What's wrong with just adding a R to your original rule?
RewriteRule ^blogs$ ?name=data&case=gview&group_id=31%1 [L,R=301]
Ok, the answer is pretty much: It can't be done. I just went over my code, added / before main urls and all is working as intended.
Thank you both for suggestions.
