I'm working on an API system with PHP, but I don't want the URLs to contain the file extension. Therefore, I've created a .htaccess file containing the following:
RewriteEngine On
# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://xxxxx.com/api/$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://xxxxx.com/api/$1 [R=301,L]
# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]
When opening http://xxxxx.com/api/some_call.php, it redirects me to http://xxxxx.com/api/some_call, but I get a 404 not found error:
The requested URL /api/some_call was not found on this server.
I have full control over the (root) server, so any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
CrushedPixel
Try adding the conditions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ $1.php [L]
And try and add Options -Multiviews above the RewriteEngine On

First off, I know there are many questions similar to this one. I've read everything I can find, but the solutions I see elsewhere don't seem to work for me. I'm really hoping someone can give me some insight here.
I am trying to use Apache's .htaccess directives to force specific pages on my server to use ssl. In addition to those directives, I'm also using some rewrites to mask .php and .html extensions.
I created a page, https-test.html. I want that page specifically to always get redirected so it uses https and so that .html gets stripped off, like https://www.example.com/https-test
However, I seem to always end up with a loop. Reading the Apache docs for 6 hours got me closer, but I'm still missing something.
Below is my annotated htaccess file.
RewriteEngine on
# If port is insecure...
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
# And requested URI is /https-test...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*/)https-test$ [NC]
# Then point the server to the secure url:
RewriteRule . "https://www.example.com/https-test" [L,R]
# The next few lines try matching extensionless requests to .php files
# If the requested file is not a directory...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# And we CAN find a .php file matching that name...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
# Then point us to that .php file and append the query string.
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
# These next few lines were added by the previous project owner
# They're supposed to redirect requests like /foo.html to /foo,
# But I suspect these might be the culprit
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ /$1 [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /$1.html [NE,L]
# Next few lines are legacy SEO stuff, some pages were linked to as
# php but now are html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .php$
RewriteRule ^(.*).php$ /$1.html [L,NE]
So that's the code I have in my htaccess. And if I go to http://www.example.com/https-test in Chrome, I get www.mysite.com redirected you too many times.
You should probably just rewrite the code a bit. You are trying to match both extensionless files to php and html and doesn't look like you're accounting for each of the conditions. You should add a condition to make sure they are not tryiing to do the same things.
Backup your code, replace your code with this and give it a try. Clear all your cache before trying.
RewriteEngine on
# If port is insecure... redirect for a specific page
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^http-test/?$ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Next few lines are legacy SEO stuff, some pages were linked to as
# php but now are html
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /(.+)\.php
RewriteRule ^ /%1? [R=301,L]
# The next few lines try matching extensionless requests to .php files
# If the requested file is not a directory and php file exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
#remove trailing slash and is not a php file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ /$1 [R=301,NE,L]
#finally redirect extensionless URI to html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ /$1.html [NE,L]
Note I haven't tested this fully.
I want to be able to Access my scripts without the .php, .html etc., so I already wrote
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
##same for other extensions
in my .htaccess file (note: this file lies not in the root-path), but I also want to Redirect every incorrect request to my main page, so that www.mysite.com/dir/incorrect will be rewritten to www.mysite.com/dir/.
But my first try (RewriteRule ^ / [R] after RewriteCond) redirected me to www.mysite.com/, my experiments with RewriteBase (RewriteBase . and RewriteBase /) didnt work and I also noticed that many similar scriptredirect to www.mysite.com/dir/index.php (www.mysite.com/dir/index in my case), but I really want to Redirect to www.mysite.com/dir/. Is there any way to achieve this?
Have it this way:
RewriteEngine on
# see if .php is found
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
# determine DIR_BASE dynamically
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=DIR_BASE:%1]
# if not found redirect to %{ENV:DIR_BASE}
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ %{ENV:DIR_BASE} [L,R]
so I am playing with .htaccess to have clean URLs in my codeigniter app.
in short, i am trying to:
1) remove index.php in urls (redirect permanent)
http://localhost/directory/index.php*
to
http://localhost/directory/*
http://my.domain.com/index.php*
to
http://my.domain.com/*
2) rewrite requests for certain controllers to index.php/[controller_name]
http://localhost/directory/controller1*
to
http://localhost/directory/index.php/controller1*
http://my.domain.com/controller2*
to
http://my.domain.com/index.php/controller2*
my htaccess file currently goes like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
# Redirect index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/system/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php((/)(.*))?$ /$1/$4 [R=301,L]
first issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/index.php/controller1.
instead redirecting to http://localhost/dir/controller1, it redirects to http://localhost//controller1 ($1 return empty string?)
# Rewrite CI certain controllers
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} directory/(home|other_controller) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)(home|other_controller)(.*)$ /$1index.php/$2$3 [NC,L]
second issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/home gives internal server error (too many redirects).
but if I test added R=301 code, it successfully redirect to http://localhost/dir/index.php/home. but this is not my intention to redirect, I only need to rewrite it.
please advise.. :)
Try with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
You can place this in the directory the bootstrap file (index.php) is in.
If you have FastCGI implementation, you need to add a question mark in the rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
We have a website, unfortunately all the URLs have the .html suffix, its a Magento installation, Magento allows you to change this on the CMS, but again, unfortunately all this URLs with .html suffix have a good ranking in Google. We need to redirect to non .html.
So, consider the following scenario, we are rebuilding this site from scratch, so we have the same urls on the new site but without the .html suffix.
Now is: www.example.de/cool-shoes.html
Will be: www.example.de/cool-shoes
So www.example.de/cool-shoes.html will not exist anymore, and I've been trying a redirect with the .htaccess with no luck.
I've tried so far:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule (.*)index\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
and:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
but it doesn't seem to work...any ideas?
Ok so, after some research, and failing to achieve this with a rewrite rule, the following line of code worked:
redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)\.html $1
This is quite usefull to remove any url extension and avoid broken links, hopefully helps someone in the future...
cheers!
This will rewrite the url like so http://example.com/page.html -> http://example.com/page
# Remove .html from url
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
Try adding the following to the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site redirect URLs with .html extension and remove it.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}/ -d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [QSA,L]
Here's the solution that worked for me.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [L]
Follow the steps, and you'll be able to remove .html from url without modifying .htaccess file.
This should do the trick:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(\w+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Try this to putting in your .htaccess file
Redirect permanent www.mysite.de/cool-shoes.html
www.mysite.de/cool-shoes
this may be helpful to you
This is for URLs ending with .html /product/raspberrypi.html ---> /product/raspberrypi/ (/product/raspberrypi/index.php) the index.php is hidden. Took me awhile to figure this out. LOL...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
You have to use 'REQUEST_URI' and add it before index redirect rules since it could be overridden by the application. Its important to know that its URI not a filename or directory we are trying to redirect, since the file names all have index.php in the root folders(Wordpress).
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.
