This is a link to a website I am making (I am very new to this) - http://www.inquivesta.iiserkol.ac.in. I am using .htaccess to try and rewrite the URLs for some of the pages. One of them is the about us page whose actual link is - www.inquivesta.iiserkol.ac.in/Home/index.php and I want it to look like www.inquivesta.iiserkol.ac.in/about/
So I wrote this in the .htaccess file :-
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about/?$ /Home/index.php [NC,L]
This doesn't seem to work. Whenever people open this page, I don't want it to display the filename. But the filename is stil being displayed. And if I try to open http://www.inquivesta.iiserkol.ac.in/about/ then it redirects to www.inquivesta.iiserkol.ac.in/Home/index.html

i'm trying to achieve the following:
I have domain.it and domain.fr
domain.it contains a website localized in multiple languages, so for example if you go to www.domain.it/fr/somecontent.php it shows that content in french language. This works. This website is hosted on a dedicated server.
In domain.fr i have an empty space with only an .htaccess. What i want is that when the user go to www.domain.fr/somecontent.php the browser shows the content from www.domain.it/fr/somecontent.php but keeping www.domain.fr/somecontent.php in the URL. So basically www.domain.fr/* should show the content from www.domain.it/fr/* but keeping www.domain.fr/* in the browser address bar.
Using an iframe is not an option because is not good for the SEO.
I'm using the following code inside the .htaccess on domain.fr (which is hosted on an OVH shared hosting):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.fr$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.domain.it/fr/$1 [P]
But when i open www.domain.fr or www.domain.fr/somecontent.php in the browser it says "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /somecontent.php on this server."
Instead, if i place [L] or [L,R=302] in place of the [P] in the last line of .htaccess, it correctly redirect to the www.domain.it/fr/somecontent.php showing it contents, but it shows the destination url (the it domain) in the browser bar.
So i think the rules are correct, but for some reason when i use the [P] flag which as far as i know is needed to mask the url, it doesn't work.
Have you any clues ?
Thank you!
I'm using .htaccess for URL redirection as below:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^x.php$ /y.php
Can the user know some how (even using some advanced tools) that the page was actually served from y.php instead of x.php?
Thanks
I have a site that's coded mainly in PHP, but I'm trying to rewrite my dynamic php URL's into static HTML URL's.
But I want the address bar to still remain as the static HTML link.
I'm trying to accomplish this through .htaccess (I have no access to httpd.conf as I'm hosted on a shared account). Here is what's written in my .httaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^inventory-search-([^.]+)-by-([^.]+).html$ http://www.pianostudiosandshowcase.com/inventory.php?search=$1&by=$2 [R]
But I can't get the address bar to remain as the static HTML link.
Here is a link to show you what I mean:
http://www.pianostudiosandshowcase.com/inventory.php?search=manufacturer&by=1
What am I missing?
You need to remove both the R flag in your rewrite rule as well as the protocol/domain name:
RewriteRule ^inventory-search-([^.]+)-by-([^.]+).html$ /inventory.php?search=$1&by=$2 [L]
Both will cause the server to externally redirect the browser, telling it "what you were looking for is not at that URL, you need to go to this entirely different URL". The forces the browser to display the new location in its address bar.
If you internally rewrite it, the browser has no idea the URI that it sent as a request had been changed, therefore the address bar remains unchanged.
I have a link which looks like that:
www.domain.com/file.php
I want to create .htaccess entry so that if someone goes to
www.domain.com/folder/name
they would be redirected to
www.domain.com/file.php
I've created .htaccess entry which works and it looks like this:
RewriteRule ^folder/name$ /file.php [L,R=301,L]
The only problem I have is that in browser address field user sees
www.domain.com/file.php
where as I want him to see
www.domain.com/folder/name
Is it possible to do this and if so, how do I do that?
You don't need the redirect, that's causing it to reload the page which causes the new URL to appear in the address field. You just want to tell the server what directory path is represented by the "friendly" URL. Try this:
RewriteRule ^folder/name$ /file.php [L]
I am currently trying to put a RewriteRule into my .htaccess file for my Magento website that will allow me to write a category URL in the following way:
http://mydomain.com/dir/<direction>/order/<order>/<Magento category URL path>.html
What I am basically looking to do is use my robots.txt file to make some of the category URLs not appear (specifically when you apply a different sort order to the category).
So let's assume I have the following URL:
http://mydomain.com/dir/asc/order/sales_index/footwear/mens-work-boots/motorcycle-boots.html
I would like that to be rendered just as if it the URL was:
http://mydomain.com/footwear/mens-work-boots/motorcycle-boots.html?dir=asc&order=sales_index
The code I have put in my .htaccess file is as follows:
RewriteRule ^dir/(.*?)/order/(.*?)/(.*?)$ $3.html?dir=$1&order=$2
For some reason, when I have this in there, I get a 404 error. Can someone point me in the right direction to make this work for me?
I tried with this on my server
RewriteRule ^(.*)/dir/(.*?)/order/(.*?)/(.*?)$ $4.html?dir=$2&order=$3 [R,L]
and when i issue request
http://myserver/dir/asc/order/sales_index/footwear/mens-work-boots/motorcycle-boots.html
i get proper redirection to
http://yuave.dev:81/footwear/mens-work-boots/motorcycle-boots.html.html?dir=asc&order=sales_index
May be you are missing [L] flag on your request.
