Currently I have an URL that looks like :
www.mywebsite.com/confirm/ZChCQhXNJ5i
The last part of the URL is a random string. I want to remove it from my URL to get something like that
www.mywebsite.com/confirm
I've tried many things such as RewriteRule ^(confirm)/.+$ /$1 [L,NC] but I really don't understand the .htaccess syntax.
Edit 1 - Here is my .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(confirm)/.$ /$1 [L,NC]
</IfModule>
Edit 2 - Your answers helped me, here is the solution I found :
RewriteRule ^(confirm)/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]
Have you tried using this RewriteRule?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/ZChCQhXNJ5i /$1 [L,R=301]
When I test this it works perfectly. See here: http://htaccess.mwl.be?share=33ae279c-7597-5935-8bf0-d389add54d0a
It successfully changes your URL to www.mywebsite.com/confirm using a permanent 301 redirection.

I'm trying to parse urls with .htaccess and pull our either 1 or 2 parameters to load content based on the url.
If only the first url param (site.com/param1) is present then that's fine and should route to index.php?c=param but could also be (site.com/param1/param2) and get routed to index.php?c=param1&p=param2
It works perfectly on MAMP PRO running on Mavericks but when I clone the repo onto our VPS I get a redirect loop. There is an admin area for the site so I need to ignore the any url that follows the pattern
site.com/admin
The "parsable" urls follow this pattern
site.com/param1
or
site.com/param1/param2
The .htaccess looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## SEO REWRITES ###
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2
## URL PARSE ##
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2
</IfModule>
I'm lost but I feel like I'm missing something simple here. The most confusing part is that it has worked since development began. Anyone have any ideas as to why the redirect loop when running on an vps with apache but not on localhost or more importantly how to get it parsing on the live server.
Im now using this which works except when the trailing slash is missing from the url, then it breaks, Ive tried dif variations to let it match without a trailing slash but i just get 404's or internal server errors:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/$ /index.php?c=$1&p=index [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Have it this way:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
## SEO REWRITES ###
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?(\w+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(\w+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
## URL PARSE ##
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?c=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
The problem is that
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1
matches
index.php?c=blah
You need to add a rule so that any valid paths are served without modification.
Try adding
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
just after RewriteEngine on
I am having issues trying to set up a correct htaccess file.
What I basically want to do is to implement clean URL and hide the .php extension except for one file.
What I currently have set up is the following:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
#RewriteRule ^(?!recruit)(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
The first rule will take anything after 'recruit' and pass it as a get variable in the url
www.example.com/recruitHI --> www.example.com/recruit.php?id=HI
What the other rule needs to do is to append .php to anything else other than anything that starts with recruit.
www.example.com/index --> will look for index.php
www.example.com/contact --> will look for contact.php
www.example.com/recruit --> Needs to be ignored because of the first rule
When I have the 2 rules on and start apache, I get an error saying my configuration is wrong. They both work individually though.
You can use:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.php [L]
2nd rule will add .php extension only for URIs that are not file or directories and that are already valid php files.
Try adding a condition to the second rule so that it won't blindly append a php to the end of the URI:
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
Specifying RewriteBase at the beginning. If everything is in the site root it would be
RewriteBase /
Otherwise all your Rules should begin with ^/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
Since your have the L The rules after recruit will only affect items that don't have it. But instead of having a script for every url possibility, you should look at using a single Front Controller.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L]
Then you can use FallBack provider instead (newer in Apache)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^recruit(.*)$ recruit.php?id=/$1 [QSA,L]
FallbackResource /index.php
this is urgent a lot. I need help with some htaccess rules. The clue is when user receives an answer for sth the real url will be www.mydomain.com/results.html/sth but he must can see in his browser only www.mydomain.com/sth only and when i redirect him to home page (www.mydomain.com/index.html) the url has to be www.mydomain.com only.
Thanks
#this is for the www.yourdomain.com/index.html
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [L]
RewriteRule ^/$ index.html [L]
#this is for the results
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ results.html?$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ results.html?$1
Replace the first 3 lines of code with:
DirectoryIndex index.html
it should have worked by default though
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(results|index)\.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /results.html/$1
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [R=301,L]
Further to my previous questions i am getting my self into a mess, so i will try and lay my problem/s out as best as i can here.
I am tidying up my URL structure but have the problem that my urls are well indexed in Search engines, so i need to rewrite my urls while also redirect them.
With help earlier on a previous question i currently have the following in my .htaccess
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
# Rewrite all index.php to root: / ( with perm redirect )
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
# Rewrite A newly added section rewrite ( no redirect required )
RewriteRule ^products/digital_imaging/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /products/digital_xray.php?id=$1&product=$2 [L]
# Rewrite dental news article to neat nice url
RewriteRule ^dental_news/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=$1&title=$2&redirect [L]
#Conditional rewrite of old news article path to new one with 301 redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} article=([0-9]*)&title=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1/%2? [L,R=301]
So, this is all working as expected, but i have another url that ends in a index.php that sometimes but not always has php variables, this i also need to rewrite and redirect, by trying to do it myself i am creating a conflict of some sorts, and its not working as expected.
The URL i need to rewrite & redirect with a 301 is below
http://www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=February&year=2011
With the previous index.php rule it currently displays as
http://www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/?month=February&year=2011
Half way there i guess... I need it to be the following
http://www.mydomain.com/dental_news/February/2011
Baring in mind that the url sometimes has no variables as below
http://www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php
Which is currently with the index.php rule above is showing as
http://www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/
This needs to be
http://www.mydomain.com/dental_news/
So yes, i am totally crap at this stuff, it is entirely new to me, so if i can get this sorted ill be a very happy bunny indeed!
Thanks All
EDIT
Ok my current .htaccess looks as below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mydomain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
# Rewrite all index.php to root: / ( with perm redirect )
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteRule ^products/digital_imaging/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /products/digital_xray.php?id=$1&product=$2 [L]
# Rewrite dental news article to neat nice url
RewriteRule ^dental_news/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=$1&title=$2&redirect [L]
#Conditional rewrite of old news article path to new one with 301 redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} article=([0-9]*)&title=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1/%2? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} month=([^&]*)&year=([^&]*)
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1/%2? [R=301]
RewriteRule news/dentistry_dental/$ /dental_news/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^dental_news/$ /news/dentistry_dental/index.php [L]
As it stands with this, The following occurs
www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php
-> www.mydomain.com/dental_news/
( ^ Correct )
www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=May&year=2011
-> www.mydomain.com/dental_news/April/2011
( ^ Wrong : Showing right path in url bar, but displaying article_detail.php instead of index.php with variables)
I am guessing that 2 of the rules are similar and one is picking up the index.php with year and month variables and sending to article_detail page. I might be wrong however and i have no idea how to fix.
EDIT #2
Current .htaccess as below.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^dentalsupportuk.com [nc]

RewriteRule ^dental_news/([a-zA-Z]*)/([0-9]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=$1&year=$2&redirect [L]
www.mydomain.com/dental_news/ is now rewriting to www.mydomain.com/dental_news/ which doesnt exist so 404 error ( should be rewriting to www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/ )
www.mydomain.com/dental_news/100/some-title is now rewriting as expected to www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php with the variables ( working )
www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=100&title=some-title is redirecting as expected to www.mydomain.com/dental_news/100/some-title and displaying correctly ( working )
www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=May&year=2010 is redirecting but crashing out Firefox stating ( Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. ) ( Not Working, is this some sort of loop causing this? )
www.mydomain.com/dental_news/July/2010/ the rewriting is giving me a 404 error.
So yes, im all over the place, maybe ive put in wrong order or something, but the more i mess the more im scared of breaking everything. Any ideas?
Regards

Try adding the follow two rules:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} month=([^&]*)&year=([^&]*)
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1/%2? [R=301]
RewriteRule news/dentistry_dental/$ /dental_news/ [R=301]
I don't believe it causes any conflicts, and seems to cover the two scenarios you described.
EDIT
OK, so if I'm getting this correct, the URLs that are /dental_news/2968/Redefining-oral-hygiene-intervention should be rewritten to /news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php with the proper querystrings. And then the /dental_news/April/2011 should be rewritten to /news/dentistry_dental/index.php. So...if that is the case, you should be able to add the following rule:
RewriteRule ^dental_news/([a-zA-Z]*)/([0-9]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=$1&year=$2&redirect [L]
It would also probably make sense to make the following update:
Current: RewriteRule ^dental_news/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=$1&title=$2&redirect [L]
Updated: RewriteRule ^dental_news/([0-9]*)/([^/]*)$ news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=$1&title=$2&redirect [L]
The difference there being that it is more specific, and the first regex group will only match a group of digits, and will help to avoid conflict with your rule that is rewriting to the index.php file.
EDIT 2
I believe I tested all of the URLs you provided, and they seem to be working now. There were a couple of redirect loops that we weren't accounting for. Hopefully this will help...

Hope this helps.
I have the following rewrite rules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Route requests to /media/* to /projects/media/*
RewriteRule ^media/.* - [NC,L]
# Route all URLs to dispatch.php.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.php [L]
</IfModule>
This redirects everything to dispatch.php, unless the URL is example.com/media/* in which case it will look for the requested file in ./media/. I would like the URL /media/* to be rewritten to look in project/media/*.
Using the rewrite rule RewriteRule ^media/.* project/media [NC,L] results in everything going to dispatch.php.
You'll need to capture the path and append it. Such as:
RewriteRule ^media/(.*)$ project/media/$1 [NC,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Route requests to /media/* to /projects/media/*
RewriteRule ^media/(.*)$ project/media/$1 [L]
# Route all URLs to dispatch.php.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/project/media/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ maintenance.php [L]
Originally I wanted to use the special %{IS_SUBREQ} variable, but I couldn't get it working.
Try these rules:
RewriteRule ^media/.* project/$0 [NC,L]
RewriteRule !^project/ dispatch.php [L]
