Mod Re-Write Struggling With Rule Not Working - apache

So after a lot of testing - I've started to figure out my problems but still can't get the rewrite to work.
This is how my htaccess file looks now.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^schemdetail/id/(.*)$ schematicdetails?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://abfielder.com/$1 [R=301,L]
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
Rule 1 is the one I'm having problems with
RewriteRule ^schemdetail/id/(.*)$ schematicdetails?id=$1 [L,NC]
My understanding is now if I type this url into my browser
https://abfielder.com/schemdetail/id/158
I should get
https://abfielder.com/schematicdetails?id=158
The test of this here
https://htaccess.madewithlove.com/
Tells me my rules are ok.
And rules 2 and 3 are working fine.
However when I try and access
https://abfielder.com/schemdetail/id/158
I essentially get the page not found error.

Ok think I've finally fixed this for anyone else who is having issues with mod rewrite where they wish to have a rule to remove the file extension and other rewrites working together the order matters. Lastly if you're on a shared host type thing you may also need to set the rewrite base. This is how my htaccess file looks now.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^schemdetail/id/(.*)$ schematicdetails?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !=443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://abfielder.com/$1 [R=301,L]
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
This allows me to have url's without the .php extension.
It also allows for
schemdetail/id/100 to be translated into schematicdetails?id=100

how to change url to a clean url that works

I've been looking for an answer for my problem, however the things I tried didnt work out. What I've been trying to do is to create a beatiful url for this link:
mywebsite.com/blog_template?slug_url=blog-post-name
to
mywebsite.com/blog-post-name
To achieve this I tried the following code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog_template/([^/]+)$ /blog_template?slug_url=$1 [L]
But my code didnt work... Any advice?
Here’s the full htaccess my website:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
ErrorDocument 404 http://91.218.67.117/404/
ErrorDocument 500 http://91.218.67.117/500/
#redirect 404
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/500/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/errors/500.php [L]
#remove php
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.php [NC,END]
Considering you want to rewrite this request in backend to index.php(OR change it to appropriate file's name in case its some other php file). With your shown samples and attempts please try following .htaccess Rules.
Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/blog_template\?slug_url=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?slug_url=$1 [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 500 /pages/errors/500.php
NOTE: Please keep your .htaccess file and index.php(OR any php file which is taking rewrite request in backend for that matter) in same path(your root etc).
Your attempt was close. Just a small fix:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/?$ /blog_template?slug_url=$1 [L]
This relies on additional rewriting rules to get applied though, since /blog_template most likely is not a resource the http server can somehow "execute" immediately. So you may want to combine above rule with other rules, which you did not reveal to us, which is why I cannot say anything about that.
If you also want to redirect requests to the "old" URL, then that variant should do:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^slug_url=([^/]+)$
RewriteRule ^/?blog_template$ / [QSD,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/?$ /blog_template?slug_url=$1 [L]
It is a good idea to start out using a R=302 _temporary_redirection and to only change that to a R=301 permanent redirection once everything works as expected. That prevents nasty caching issues on the client side.

Apache htaccess for generic pretty URLs

I've been crazy trying to make my .htaccess work, and followed several examples with no success (of course modifying them because they were mostly static).
My problem, is that I need a generic htaccess to redirect to random php files (omiting the php extension), for example:
/xxxxx/ loads /xxxxx.php
/yyyyy/zz loads /yyyyy.php?param=zz
This is what I am trying with not success:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MYDOMAIN [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://MYDOMAIN/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?(.+)$ /$1.php?param=$2 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
The problem is that I am getting 500 server error on any request.
If I comment the last rule, then:
/xxxx works correctly
/xxxx/ works correctly
/xxxx/yyyy does not work correctly (it is not rewriting the wanted
parameter).
Any help will be appreciated as I don't really know what is happening here.
P.S. I also tested to put a "stopping" rule in the beginning like:
RewriteRule ^.*\.php.*$ - [L]
And then I can have both rules without a 500 server error, just having a 404 in the parameters case.
You are getting 500 because your last rule is running without any conditions and causing infinite looping.
You can use these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/])/?$ $1.php?param=$2 [QSA,L]

How to remove and avoid url directories in htaccess

I'm trying to allow my site to rewrite urls. I have put the following into my .htaccess file in the root directory.
RewriteEngine On
#would be nice to remove member-pages from the URL but no idea how.
#RewriteRule ^members/(.*)/?$ /$1 [NC,R]
#This part works though!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ ./members/$1/ [L]
So far, it takes
mydomain.com/someUserName or mydomain.com/someUserName/ (with trailing slash) and, if it exists, will load the page at mydomain.com/members/someUserName/ without a hitch. This works like a gem.
What I want now (and am trying to do with the first rewrite rule) is to take a mydomain.com/members/someUserName or mydomain.com/members/someUserName/ and have it show up as mydomain.com/someUserName in the url.
How do I do this? Thanks in advance!
If I understand you correctly, You want to redirect domain.com/members/foo to domain.com/foo , You can use the following rule for that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /memebers/([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ ./members/$1 [NC,L]

mod_rewrite rules in .htaccess

I want to do change my document root using rewrite rules in my .htaccess file, and also redirect all requests to index.php except static resources
In other words:
if a file with the path prepended with www exists (i.e. www/{%request_uri}):
http://domain.com/css/main.css should be rewritten to http://domain.com/www/css/main.css
if that file does not exist, redirect to the app main entry point www/index.php:
e.g.
http://domain.com should be rewritten to http://domain.com/www/index.php
http://domain.com/hello should be rewritten to http://domain.com/www/index.php/hello
http://domain.com/hello?a=1 should be rewritten to http://domain.com/www/index.php/hello?a=1
I tried variations, however either it gives us 500 internal server error, or infinite loop. Here is one that gives 500 internal server error:
# try to find it in www/
RewriteCond {%DOCUMENT_ROOT}/www%{REQUEST_URI} -f
RewriteCond {%DOCUMENT_ROOT}/www%{REQUEST_URI} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+) www/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) www/index.php/$1 [L]
This one also:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !www/
RewriteRule (.*) /www/$1
RewriteCond {%REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond {%REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule www/(.*) /www/index.php/$1 [PT,L]
Can anyone help?
I think that's impossible with a single .htaccess but it's possible with two.
You need one in your root directory, /.htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# We don't want infinite rewriting.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !www/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www/$1 [L]
And another in your www directory, /www/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /www
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Well actually I made a stupid mistake! The % sign should be outside of the {} bracket!
This can be done in one .htaccess in root dir:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !www/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^www/(.*)$ www/index.php/$1 [L]

Remove .html from URLs with a redirect

We have a website, unfortunately all the URLs have the .html suffix, its a Magento installation, Magento allows you to change this on the CMS, but again, unfortunately all this URLs with .html suffix have a good ranking in Google. We need to redirect to non .html.
So, consider the following scenario, we are rebuilding this site from scratch, so we have the same urls on the new site but without the .html suffix.
Now is: www.example.de/cool-shoes.html
Will be: www.example.de/cool-shoes
So www.example.de/cool-shoes.html will not exist anymore, and I've been trying a redirect with the .htaccess with no luck.
I've tried so far:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule (.*)index\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
and:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
but it doesn't seem to work...any ideas?
Ok so, after some research, and failing to achieve this with a rewrite rule, the following line of code worked:
redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)\.html $1
This is quite usefull to remove any url extension and avoid broken links, hopefully helps someone in the future...
cheers!
This will rewrite the url like so http://example.com/page.html -> http://example.com/page
# Remove .html from url
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
Try adding the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site redirect URLs with .html extension and remove it.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}/ -d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [QSA,L]
Here's the solution that worked for me.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
Follow the steps, and you'll be able to remove .html from url without modifying .htaccess file.
This should do the trick:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(\w+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Try this to putting in your .htaccess file
Redirect permanent www.mysite.de/cool-shoes.html
www.mysite.de/cool-shoes
this may be helpful to you
This is for URLs ending with .html /product/raspberrypi.html ---> /product/raspberrypi/ (/product/raspberrypi/index.php) the index.php is hidden. Took me awhile to figure this out. LOL...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
You have to use 'REQUEST_URI' and add it before index redirect rules since it could be overridden by the application. Its important to know that its URI not a filename or directory we are trying to redirect, since the file names all have index.php in the root folders(Wordpress).
