I am trying to make a rewrite rule so if a visitor types:
https://mywebsite.com/app/invite/abc123
it gets parsed as:
https://mywebsite/invite.php?id=abc123
using the following code:
RewriteRule ^app/invite/(.+)$ /app/invite.php?id=$1
The issue is that all relative links break after rewriting, as the invite is not a real existing directory and it is added to all relative links.
How can I fix this or prevent adding the invite directory to links?
I wanted to point out that I use the following rules in my .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect http to https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Redirect www to non-www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# Remove php file extension from links
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
I am trying to adjust all they do not result in infinite redirects or interval server errors.
I use Apache/2.4.46.
I finally managed to solve this issue by using this code:
RewriteRule "^app/invite/([0-9a-zA-Z]+)" "/app/invite?id=$1" [NC,L,QSA]
and in the invite.php I set the base in the <head> tag to:
<base href="../">
So it jump back to the actual directory and don't break the website links.
If any one has a better approach, I will be delighted if they share with me.
Cheers!

So I have successfully deployed a Flask app using CGI. In order to get the app working, my .htaccess file had to look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/user/public_html/mysite/cgi-bin/main.cgi/$1 [L]
However, I am facing a couple of issues.
mysite.com works, but when I link other pages to the home page, it takes them to mysite.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi. I'd like for the links to take users to mysite.com. Similarly, when I try to link to another page, it goes to mysite.com/cgi-bin/main.cgi/page2, when I actually want it to be mysite.com/page2. How can I fix this?
The following .htaccess content seems to not work:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
Header always set Content-Security-Policy "upgrade-insecure-requests;"
I'm not sure if the above two issues are related, but I'd like to fix both.
With your shown samples, please try following Rules. Please make sure your htaccess Rules file is besides your cgi-bin directory/folder. Also clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##Rules for applying https to urls.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
##Rules to remove www from urls.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1/%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/main.cgi/page2/?$ cgi-bin/templates/page2/index.html [NC,L]
JS/CS rewrite/redirect:
You may need to use base tag to fix your js and other relative resources. If you are linking js files using a relative path then the file will obviously get a 404 because its looking for URL path. for example if the URL path is /file/ instead of file.html then your relative resources are loading from /file/ which is not a directory but rewritten html file. To fix this make your links absolute or use base tag. In the header of your webpage add this <base href="/"> so that your relative links can load from the correct location.
I have a small blog in generated with Jekyll up on a shared Apache server. I have been following this guide to set up the server so that I can update the site by pushing changes via GitHub, but I haven't even gotten that far yet. The .htaccess rewrite rule to point the domain to the generated /_site subdirectory has me stumped. The code I'm using (below) is redirecting the site correctly, but the guides I've read say that this code should hide the subdirectory from the URL, and this is not happening. It works correctly on the homepage, but subpages still have /_site/ in their URL. Any ideas?
My website
.htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joejoiner.tk$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/_site/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /_site/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joejoiner.tk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ _site/index.html [L]
Add a trailing / to the end of line 6 in the above code block, like so:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /_site/$1/
I'm using following htaccess rule which is proposed all over internet for removing index.php in codeigniter urls. And there are some of the redirection rules i added above it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
The problem is:
I'm getting some odd http request, which i think is caused by htaccess rules above.
Here are some of them :
https://www.sitename.com/index.php/favicon.ico
which ought to be .com/favicon.ico
https://www.sitename.com/index.php/scripts/jquery.js
which ought to be .com/public/jquery.js
as a side note im using base tag to redirect assets to /public/
strange thing is i couldnt find where the second redirection happens
i tested whole site and javascript & css files load correctly
i handled this redirections by making my controller ignore those requests but a while ago
a strange error happened. which i asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11775849/htaccess-didnt-work-until-renaming-and-then-renaming-back
my guess is that, even though i ignore misredirected request, hosting company receives them and probably it was causing some trouble for them which led to the problem i shared in linked question by a maintenance of hosting company.
Anyway, Question is:
How can i make htaccess rule only redirect requests that doesnt have file extension at the end?
You're missing a line before the REQUEST_FILENAME line:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|something|fav\.ico|robots\.txt)
You can modify this to suit your needs. I've got my JS/CSS etc in the assets folder so it's not affected by the rewrite.
so the full .htaccess will look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|something|fav\.ico|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
I've some different mod rewrites and they are working well. But the most simple one isn't that nice. I just wan't to show a subpage on my Index invisible.
So http://foliodock.com shows http://foliodock.com/blog/index.php?p=4 but still shows just the domain in the browser bar. The current Code is
RewriteRule ^$ blog/index.php?p=4 [L]
On the live site it shows foliodock.com/blog/home cause of enabled redirects in my wordpress blog, but if i deactivate them blog/index.php?p=4 shows up like it should.
How do i do this redirect invisible or internal?
I have some additional redirects and also index file in the main root so i can not virtual host to the blog folder or such.
The full redirect is
# force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R=301]
# force not to use www
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Rewrite Base Url to Blog
RewriteRule ^$ blog/index.php?p=4 [L]
# Skip pier, thumb and blog
RewriteRule ^(pier|timthumb|blog)($|/) $ [L]
# load the index file
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ index.html [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /index.html [L]
Sorry for this stupid problem but i seem to be blind?!
I just had to figure this out for a client.
# make homepage the wordpress index
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(|/)$
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ /wordpress/ [L]
This makes the homepage redirect (invisibly) to the wordpress index page. I'm using this with a Zend project so this condition and rule goes before the rewrite conditions and rules that make zend work.
A word of warning, rewrite rules are not my area of expertise; test this thoroughly before using it on a production server.
My URL structure is currently as follows:
http://domain.com/folder/filename (CURRENT)
I want to change this so that I can use the following URL instead:
http://sub.domain.com/filename (NEW)
So accessing the CURRENT or the NEW url, should load the file located at the CURRENT url, but show the NEW url in the address bar. It should only apply to the "/folder/" path.
sub.domain.com is a mirror of domain.com, ie. they share the same file system and root directory.
This is what I have so far:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder/?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This is working, but is missing the rule to remove the "/folder/" from the path. I've tried combining multiple RewriteRule's with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE: Thanks again #Gerben - I understand what your rules are doing now, but the second one isn't working for me. I suspect because it's conflicting with some other rewrite rules, in particular those of WordPress, which are lower down in my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Because of this the page ends up in a redirect loop, ie (from Chrome):
"The webpage at http://sub.domain.com/folder/index.php has resulted in too many redirects." - while the url I was originally trying to access was, for example, http://sub.domain.com/page
Any ideas?
Try:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(folder/)?(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$2 [R=301,L]
This will redirect everything to sub.domain.com, and remove the /folder part of the URI if it is there. If not, it redirects and leaves the URI untouched.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /folder/
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1 [L]
# WordPress rules here
edit the second R=301 should not have been there
But this won't work, as wordpress has no way of knowing you want folder. You could add the Proxy flag to the rewrite, but then you need to change the rule above to not redirect on this internal proxy request.
