I have set up this very simple .htaccess-file in my projects root folder c:\xampp\htdocs\myproject\
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ test.php?stuff=$1 [QSA,L]
as well as a test.php (there is no index.php)
<?php
if (isset($GET_['stuff'])) {
echo $GET_['stuff'];
} else {
echo "not set";
}
When I visit localhost/myproject instead of redirecting me to test.php it just lists the directory structure of my project.
When I change the htaccess to something like
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.google.de [L]
everything works as expected. What am I doing wrong?
Reason why you get directory listing because your URL localhost/myproject actually sends an empty per-dir URI when .htaccess is placed inside /myproject/.
You URI pattern is (.+) that obviously won't match an empty string hence rules doesn't fire and since you don't have index.php or index.html, you get directory list.
Correct rule should be:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ test.php?stuff=$1 [QSA,L]
PS: Note that removing RewriteCond will invoke test.php for localhost/myproject but it will be internally invoked as test.php?stuff=test.php&stuff=

So I have included an htaccess file to my server in the root directory and changed all of the ./ I could find set the absolutes.
However, when I search by URL into one of the directories pressing the home button does not take me home. Instead, it appends the index onto the end:
/website/book/index.php?p=home
Instead of
/website/index.php?p=home
Where have I made a fuddle?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])/$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/paperbound/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?p=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
Is the htaccess used. https://sitehost/website/book/2 is URL entered and page retrieved which exists as https://sitehost/website/index.php?p=book&id=2, clicking navlink to return to https://sitehost/website/index.php?p=home, instead places https://sitehost/website/book/index.php?p=home into the URL bar and returns an error as the file does not exist.
With your shown samples/attempts, please try following htaccess rules file. Make sure to keep your index.php file is present in website folder and htaccess is present along side with website folder(not inside it).
Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

It seems every few weeks I have to ask more .htaccess rewriting/redirecting questions. Every time I think I understand it, another wrench gets thrown into my project that shows that I don't.
EDIT: My original question wasn't very clear so the following is an attempt to be more concise.
As it stands, all of the .html files live in the root directory. eg: http://example.com/about.html
There aren't any sub-directories with the exception of normal ones like img, css, etc.
For tracking purposes, if someone types in http://example.com/random/ where "random" can be any string of characters, I'd want them to see the index.html file, without modifying the url. The directory "random" doesn't actually exist on the server at all.
The same goes for other pages like about.html. If someone types in http://example.com/random/about.html I'd want them to see the about.html page.
At the same time, I'd like http://example.com/random/about or http://example.com/about (missing file extension) to also show the about page.
However, if someone typed in a page that doesn't exist, I'd like for it to use the ErrorDocument
Example: I don't have a file named "pickups.html" so the following would all be 404s:
http://example.com/pickups.html
http://example.com/pickups
http://example.com/random/pickups.html
http://example.com/random/pickups
It would be nice if the end redirect/rewrite did have the file extension stripped off (because it looks nicer).
My thoughts are that any request ending with a / would just serve up the index.html file that exists at the site root. So that leaves the files.
My thought process is:
strip the file extension off of the request
check if that file with an extension exists at site root
if yes, display that page.
if no, 404.
My initial code (had help on it) was this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.*)$ /$2 [R=301,L]
I understand that in that code I'm grabbing everything after the last slash and serving it from the document root. Unfortunately, it doesn't account for files that do not exist.
Starting with existing files, they will be passed through unchanged. This also prevents rewrite loops.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
Next are existing files, requested as part of an optional, virtual subdirectory
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+)$ /$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+)$ /$2.html [L]
This splits the request into an optional prefix (.+/)? and the file part. If this file part exists, maybe with an appended .html, you're done.
Next comes anything with a trailing slash, just rewrite to index.html
RewriteRule /$ /index.html [L]
Anything else will be requests for non-existing files, which yield a 404 status code.
In order to remove an optional .html extension and remove an optional trailing slash / for existing files, we must insert two rules at the beginning
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+?)\.html/?$ /$1$2 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+?)/$ /$1$2 [R,L]
These rules are similar to the other rules, except they do a redirect R|redirect instead of a rewrite, and have an additional condition to prevent a rewrite loop.
Putting everything together gives
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+?)\.html/?$ /$1$2 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+?)/$ /$1$2 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2 -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+)$ /$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$2.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?(.+)$ /$2.html [L]
RewriteRule /$ /index.html [L]
So for a website I have an index.php file in my root directory that expects url parameters to determine which contents to echo:
example.com/?p=home
example.com/?p=blog
However, for aesthetical purposes, I wrote a RewriteRule in the .htaccess file in the root directory that redirect the following requests to the index.php in the root directory with URL parameters:
example.com/home → example.com/?p=home
example.com/blog/ → example.com/?p=blog
The rule looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
# This is my rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(bootstrap|cms|php|pics|project|install)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ([a-zA-Z]*)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC]
# The following rules are used by the CMS I'm using, so I don't want to change those
RewriteRule ^(cms)($|/) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(install)($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|\.jpeg|\.bmp)/$
RewriteRule (.*.html|.*.php|.*.htm) cms_worker.php?page=$1 [QSA]
However, using this all CSS and JS files that I included in the index.php using relative links (e.g. <link href="/project/style.css" rel="stylesheet">) aren't loaded as the rule seems to effect those requests as well.
Why is this happening? And how can I solve it? I thought the Rewrite Conditions above the rule should prevent the Rule from being applied when the requested directory or file exists ... I tried adding the first RewriteCond to exclude requests to the specified directories from the Rule, but that didn't work as well.
Edit: It works fine if I access a page without the trailing slash (i.e. example.com/blog). However, when I access the page with the trailing slash (i.e. example.com/blog/), the CSS and JS files aren't being loaded. The network tab of the Chrome dev tools doesn't show anything, but when I open the source code and click on the relative link to the css file, it redirects to example.com/blog/project/style.css instead of example.com/project/style.css
I believe this is due to regex pattern used in your rules. Try these rules:
RewriteEngine On
# This is my rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(bootstrap|cms|php|pics|project|install)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
# The following rules are used by the CMS I'm using, so I don't want to change those
RewriteRule ^cms($|/) - [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^install($|/) - [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?\.(?:html?|php))$ cms_worker.php?page=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
To resolve relative links add <base href="/"> in <head> section of your HTML.
I have limited .htaccess knowledge and i am requiring some help. I need to do some redirects to enable pretty urls.
In local all works fine but it is not working in another develpment server. apparently the query string get drop when redirect.
i need to redirect this http://mysite.local/info/permalink/1
to this one http://mysite.local/info?proxy=true&id=1
my .htaccess code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#remove /index.php from home url and redirect to root.
#http://mysite.local/index.php -> http://mysite.local/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.php?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php?$ "/$1" [R=301,L,QSA]
#pretty url without index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,QSA,L]
#rewrite to handle some permalink saved on my db.
#http://mysite.local/info/permalink/1
#http://mysite.local/info/proxy=true&id=1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&id=$3 [L]
</IfModule>
the redirect is working but the query string is not present. When I run var_dump($_GET) on info module i am getting an empty array array(0) {}
i have try it to solve changing
RewriteRule .* index.php [PT,QSA,L]
to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
and
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&idobj=$3 [L]
to
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&idobj=$3 [QSA,NE,L]
Server API is CGI/FastCGI
What should I change to ensure that my rewrite works as intended and $_GET variables still are accessible?
thx in advance
I have no idea how you've managed to get this to work with a regex pattern like: ^([^/]+)/info if the URL you are going to is /info/permalink/1.
The ^([^/]+)/info pattern means there's stuff before the /info part of the URI, which there isn't. Additionally, in an htaccess file, the URI's have the leading forward slash stripped off. So you probably want something like this:
RewriteRule ^info/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/([0-9]+) /info/?proxy=true&id=$2 [L]
OK, so we were working in the wrong directory, meh!
We have a .htaccess file that is setup to redirect some files to a PHP script. Now we are adding some hard files which we want to bypass this redirect. So far this does not seem to be working and we are stumped.
Below is our initial .htaccess file contents after starting the engine which is working for another app already:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
We are trying to load files now from /directory/ So we have tried adding each of these to the RewriteCond section:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !directory
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|i/|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|directory)
Neither seems to be working. Any ideas on how to get this to load?
Examples:
Should redirect
http://example.com/thisredirects/
Should not redirect
http://example.com/directory
http://example.com/directory/
http://example.com/directory/index.php
etc.
have you tried making a second .htaccess file in the /directory dir and doing a NoRewrite in it?
Try this:
Wont redirect
RewriteRule directory/.* - [L]
Redirects
RewriteRule ^$ thisredirects/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) thisredirects/$1 [L]
It seems you want to redirect anything that isn't actually an existing file in your docroot to your index.php. This little bit of rewrite should handle that:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] # file with size
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] # file is a link
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d # file is a directory
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] # don't rewrite [last rule]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [NC,L] # everything else gets sent to index.php
The [OR] operator may be what you are looking for on the RewriteCond as well.
Also if you just want to whitelist the /directory portion you could put a Rule before your redirects that is marked [L] for "last rule"
RewriteRule ^/directory.*$ - [NC,L]
