.htaccess rewrite exception for letsencrypt doesn't work - apache

I have a custom application that needs to redirect all requests through a central router, and I need to add an exception for LetsEncrypt to make requests to the temporary /.well-known directory created directly beneath the document root.
Say my original .htaccess file is:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^.*$ router.php
I modified it to read:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/.well-known.*$
RewriteRule ^.*$ router.php
But I can see requests still being forced into the router. Why doesn't this rewrite condition work?

You may use this rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\s/\.well-known/?[?\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ router.php [L]
Using additional RewriteCond to skip files and directories and using THE_REQUEST instead of REQUEST_URI.

.htaccess RewriteRule Exception

I have the following rules in my .htaccess file. The problem is when I try to navigate to site.com/news/wp-admin/, it ends up in a redirect loop. From other questions/answers I've read, you can create an exception by using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/news/wp\-admin/ but this does not resolve the issue. It still redirects. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
The below .htaccess is in my root.
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/news/wp\-admin/
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [L,NC,QSA,B]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/(option1|option2|option3)/?$ index.php?p=$1&type=$2 [L,NC,QSA,B]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/(option1|option2|option3)/(.+)$ index.php?p=$1&type=$2&q=$3 [L,NC,QSA,B]
If I comment out RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [L,NC,QSA,B] it works, but breaks the rest of my site.
This is the .htaccess in /news/ where my WordPress is.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /news/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /news/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I assume you have Apache 2 so that mean you have to do it that way:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?news/wp-admin/
In Apache 2 there is no leading / so we make it optional with /?
and there is no need to escape the - because it have no special meaning.
Edit
Additional removing RewriteOptions inherit will do it, because with this option you apply the same rules to subdirectory and this will cause your loop

Laravel on Plesk-Server - Only accessible by calling /public

When setting up a fresh Laravel installation, we have to run it using domain.com/public instead of domain.com.
I googled after this problem and I saw that this could be because of mod_rewrite not being enabled. However, we are running Plesk on our server and their documentation at http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/index.htm?fileName=74206.htm says:
The mod_rewrite module is enabled by default in Apache that comes with Plesk for Linux. To make use of the functionality, you will need to create an .htaccess file containing the desired rewrite rules - refer to the Apache documentation for more information.
Laravel is working fine, if I move the contents of public in the main folder, and the rest in a /laravel folder (simply have to adopt the main index.php file).
However I would like to keep the original file structure.
Any tips?
Just use .htaccess to redirect from / to /public. Maybe similar to this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
You need two .htaccess files. One inside the Laravel Project and the other one inside your domain.com
Laravel Project (/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/public/.htaccess)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews -Indexes
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]
# Send Requests To Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
main domain (/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/.htaccess)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]

htaccess rewrite clean url for multiple parameters

This is my .htaccess code for clean url rewriting.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[a-zA-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php\?bank=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1%2%3%4? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?bank=$1$2$3$4 [L,QSA]
This code works fine for single parameter in url. For example it rewrites
http://example.com/example-path/ to
http://example.com/index.php?bank=example-path/
But when I tried to pass multiple parameters in url, all I got are errors.
I need a url like
http://example.com/example-path instead of http://example.com/index.php?bank=example-path
How can I alter My code to pass multiple urls.
Your redirect logic can be greatly simplified to just:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#If a request does not match an existing directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#And does not match an existing file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#then rewrite all requests to index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ index.php?bank=$1 [L,QSA]

URL Rewrite Rule using .htaccess not working as expected

In continuation with my previous Question url-rewrite-rule-based-on-certain-conditions
I am trying to do a URL rewrite like this
http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/pluginA/abc.css
http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/pluginA/abc.js
i want that when the CSS and JS are from this plugin (Plugin A ) or any other plugin whose URL i want to rewrite, The URL should get rewritten as
http://www.cdn.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/pluginA/abc.css
http://www.cdn.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/pluginA/abc.js
This is what i tried as in my .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^.+\.(css|js)$
RewriteRule ^wp-content/plugins/(nivo-slider-light|Usernoise|lightbox-plus|wp-content-slideshow|content-slide)/(.+)$ http:/abc.cloudfront.net/wp-content/plugins/$1/$2 [L,R=302,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I have tried every possible way to rewrite the URL so that JS and CSS should get served from my CDN server, but seems like the rule is never been picked up by apache.Any help/pointer in this regard will really be appreciated.
Make this your first rule (right after RewriteBase line)
RewriteRule ^(wp-content/plugins/(nivo-slider-light|Usernoise|lightbox-plus|wp-content-slideshow|content-slide)/[^.]+\.(css|js))$ http://abc.cloudfront.net/$1 [L,R,NC]
Also if it doesn't work try moving your *.js and *.css files away from local directories under wp-content/plugins/ path.

htaccess remove index.php from url

I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong url.
The url they are indexing is:
http://www.example.com/index.php/section1/section2
I need it to redirect to:
http://www.example.com/section1/section2
.htaccess isn't my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.
The original answer is actually correct, but lacks explanation. I would like to add some explanations and modifications.
I suggest reading this short introduction https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/intro.html (15mins) and reference these 2 pages while reading.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html
This is the basic rule to hide index.php from the URL. Put this in your root .htaccess file.
mod_rewrite must be enabled with PHP and this will work for the PHP version higher than 5.2.6.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L]
Think %{REQUEST_FILENAME} as the the path after host.
E.g. https://www.example.com/index.html, %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is /index.html
So the last 3 lines means, if it's not a regular file !-f and not a directory !-d, then do the RewriteRule.
As for RewriteRule formats:
So RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L] means, if the 2 RewriteCond are satisfied, it (.*) would match everything after the hostname. . matches any single character , .* matches any characters and (.*) makes this a variables can be references with $1, then replace with /index.php/$1. The final effect is to add a preceding index.php to the whole URL path.
E.g. for https://www.example.com/hello, it would produce, https://www.example.com/index.php/hello internally.
Another key problem is that this indeed solve the question. Internally, (I guess) it always need https://www.example.com/index.php/hello, but with rewriting, you could visit the site without index.php, apache adds that for you internally.
Btw, making an extra .htaccess file is not very recommended by the Apache doc.
Rewriting is typically configured in the main server configuration
setting (outside any <Directory> section) or inside <VirtualHost>
containers. This is the easiest way to do rewriting and is recommended
To remove index.php from the URL, and to redirect the visitor to the non-index.php version of the page:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will cleanly redirect /index.php/myblog to simply /myblog.
Using a 301 redirect will preserve Google search engine rankings.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
Assuming the existent url is
http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar
and we want to convert it into
http://example.com/foo/bar
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
#1) redirect the client from "/index.php/foo/bar" to "/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php/(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NE,L,R]
#2)internally map "/foo/bar" to "/index.php/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
In the spep #1 we first match against the request string and capture everything after the /index.php/ and the captured value is saved in %1 var. We then send the browser to a new url.
The #2 processes the request internally. When the browser arrives at /foo/bar , #2rule rewrites the new url to the orignal location.
Steps to remove index.php from url for your wordpress website.
Check you should have mod_rewrite enabled at your server.
To check whether it's enabled or not - Create 1 file phpinfo.php at your root folder with below command.
<?php
phpinfo?();
?>
Now run this file - www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and it will show mod_rewrite at Load modules section.
If not enabled then perform below commands at your terminal.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Make sure your .htaccess is existing in your WordPress root folder, if not create one .htaccess file
Paste this code at your .htaccess file :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Further make permission of .htaccess to 666 so that it become writable and now you can do changes in your wordpress permalinks.
Now go to Settings -> permalinks -> and change to your needed url format.
Remove this code /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and insert this code on Custom Structure: /%postname%/
If still not succeeded then check your hosting, mine was digitalocean server, so I cleared it myself
Edited the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Added this line after DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Restart your apache server
Note: /var/www/html will be your document root
Do the following steps
1. Make sure that the hosting / your pc mod_rewrite module is active. if not active then try to activate in a way, open the httpd.conf file. You can check this in the phpinfo.php to find out.
change this setting :
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to be and restart wamp
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
if above does not work try with this:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
3. Move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php there.
www OR root folder
- index.php
- .htaccess
Some may get a 403 with the method listed above using mod_rewrite. Another solution to rewite index.php out is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Put your installation directory here:
RewriteBase /
# Do not enable rewriting for files or directories that exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have used many codes from the above mentioned sections for removing index.php form the base url. But it was not working from my end. So, you can use this code which I have used and its working properly.
If you really need to remove index.php from the base URL then just put this code in your htaccess.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will work, use the following code in .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
I don't have to many bulky code to give out just a little snippet solved the issue for me.
i have https://example.com/entitlements/index.php rather i want anyone that types it to get error on request event if you type https://example.com/entitlements/index
you will still get error since there's this word "index" is contained there will always be an error thrown back though the content of index.php will still be displayed properly
cletus post on "https://stackoverflow.com/a/1055655/12192635" which
solved it
Edit your .htaccess file with the below
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index.php to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
Not withstanding we have already known that the above code works with already existing codes on stack see where i applied the code above just below the all codes at it end.
# The following will allow you to use URLs such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything
# example.com/anything/
#
# Which will actually serve files such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything.html
# example.com/anything.php
#
# But *only if they exist*, otherwise it will report the usual 404 error.
