I need to do some redirecting to get some internal links to work but I'm having a complete block.
The url would be http://www.something.com/faqs/What_happens_if_I_move_home?
redirected to http://www.something.com/faqs/index/What_happens_if_I_move_home?
but it must look like the original url. I'm sure there is a simple answer but rewrite rules and regex are a mystery to me at times.
I did try RewriteRule ^faqs(/.*)?$ /faqs/index$1 [R,L,NC]
amongst many others!
try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/faqs/index
RewriteRule ^faqs/(.*) /faqs/index/$1 [L,NC]

I'm trying to catch http://mysite.loc/orders/invoice/?id=asdf and redirect it, but it's not catching. Does anyone have any ideas on something I might've missed?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^orders/invoice?id=([^/]+)$ /store/order/view?hash=$1 [R=301,L,NC]
Rewrite rules act on request URIs. The query string (the question mark and everything after it) is not part of the URI so you can't write a pattern to match it.
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=(.*)
RewriteRule ^orders/invoice /store/order/view?hash=%1 [R=301,L]
I don't know if they really using a RewriteRule (Apache mod_rewrite) for this, but if we append an URL after the URL of bit.ly (ie: http://bit.ly/http://www.somesite.com/), it takes the URL appended as a parameter (http://bit.ly/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.somesite.com%2F).
Someone knows how to do that, maybe with a RewriteRule or something else? If so, what can be the regex to manage this?
Thanks!
I would imagine their rewrite rule looks something like this:
RewriteRule ^(http.*)$ ?u=$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R]
Couldn't help but fiddle around with this: Accepts multiple protocols and avoids appending the ? if there is no query string:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^$)
RewriteRule ^((http|ftp).*)$ ?u=$1 [B,R,L]
RewriteRule ^((http|ftp).*)$ ?u=$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [B,R,L]
It's probably something in these lines:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
And then have index.php do a:
search database to see if link is ok or flagged (badware, spam, etc)
mark visit in stats database
throw http 301 headers on the user for a proper redirect
Currently my .htaccess looks like this...
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
It currently changes any /xxx.php file into /xxx. This is great for SEO. However, I also want Mr. htaccess to convert certain URLs into a URL + query string. For instance when user goes to
/specific/somerandominfo
Then somerandominfo is passed to the specific.php file. I normally have no problem doing this using rewrites, but because of my fancy catchall rewrite, I can't figure out how to do it.
For example if I add
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC]
to my .htaccess, then hitting up /specific/somerandominfo just serves me a big fat 500 Internal Service Error.
Any help from you apache gurus out there would be so, so cool.
Thanks!
p.s. anybody want to also throw in any other cool SEO tricks that they like? I'll bake you cookies.
You are getting 500 error because your rules are creating an infinite cycle. Check apache error log to see if it is true. So you should design your rules properly. Maybe like that:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)$ $1.php?var=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC]
This is mostly correct. I'd just add the B flag, like this:
RewriteRule ^specific/([^/]+)$ /specific.php?somerandominfo=$1 [NC,B]
This causes the capture group $1 to be properly escaped for use in query strings. Note that you can still use QSA to retain the query parameters used in the original request (in addition to somerandominfo).
Perhaps you'll want to post your actual RewriteRule.
I am not really familiar with apache mod_rewrite.
I have url parameters such as {domain}/index.php?blog=5
I simply want to make it {domain}/home.php?client=5
Is it a task as simple as it sounds and can anyone help?
The following might work, give it a try
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/home.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} client=([0-9]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{REMOTE_HOST}/index.php?blog=%1 [L]
That seems pretty simple, to be honest — once you get your head into mod_rewrite, it's not that complex.
It sounds like you want to add
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/index.php?blog=(.+)$ /home.php?client=$1
to your configuration.
Some caveats:
If you are putting this in a .htaccess file, then remove the / from the RewriteRule line.
If you want to make this case-insensitive, add [NC] to the end of that same line.
If you want users to see the URL change (so sending a 302 Found redirection to the browser), then add [R] to the end of the RewriteRule line.
If you want both a 302 Found and for the URL to be case-sensitive, combine the two instructions as [NC,R] at the end of the RewriteRule line.
It's definitely worth reading the mod_rewrite docs, but the rule above should be all you need for this use-case.
I have the following URL:
http://domain.com/index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=My Subject
I want to have a rewrite rule so that the following:
http://domain.com/feedback?Subject=My Subject
maps to the previous url. Heres my rule at the moment:
RewriteRule ^feedback?Subject=(.*)$ index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=$1
Doesn't seem to be working tho! Any ideas?
Query Strings are not parsed by Apache Mod_Rewrite, but there is a workaround. Try this
RewriteRule ^feedback/?$ index.php?m=feedback&c%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
You can use RewriteCond statement to do exactly what you want:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Subject=(.*)
RewriteRule ^feedback$ index.php?m=feedback&cSubject=%1 [L]
There seems to be an = missing from clops answer to give..
RewriteRule ^feedback/?$ index.php?m=feedback&c=%{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]
.. at least I need one to make it work.
