By using the following .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ /api/web/index.html#$1/$2 [R=301,NC,L]
When user types the following URL at their browser.
http://localhost:8080/1/2
I'm expecting, Apache will perform internal redirection, and change the displayed URL at browser too (through R=301).
http://localhost:8080/api/web/index.html#1/2
Changing the displayed URL at browser is important. This is to ensure index.html's JavaScript can parse the url correctly.
However, what I really get is
http://localhost:8082/api/web/index.html%231/2
I will get Apache error.
Apache false thought that, I wish to fetch a file named 2 located in directory api/web/index.html%231/
Is there anything I can solve this through modifying .htaccess only?
The # is getting encoded as %23. Try using the NE flag in your rule:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ /api/web/index.html#$1/$2 [R=301,NC,L,NE]
the NE flag tells mod_rewrite not to encode the URI.

I am trying to update a RewriteRule. Previously, the redirect looked like this:
https://mywebsite.com/docs/#/en/introduction → https://manual.mywebsite.com/#/en/introduction
I would like to use /docs/ for something else now but I would like to keep redirecting requests containing a forward slash after the # to the manual subdomain. This is what I would like to achieve:
The old redirects continue working as usual:
https://mywebsite.com/docs/#/en/introduction → https://manual.mywebsite.com/#/en/introduction
This would not get redirected since there is no forward slash following the #:
https://mywebsite.com/docs/#overview
Here is what I have:
The .htaccess file containing the following existing rule which redirects everything:
RewriteRule ^docs/(.*) https://manual.mywebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I tried this but it did not work (I tried with https://htaccess.madewithlove.com/ which says that my rule does not match the URL I entered):
RewriteRule ^docs/#/(.*) https://manual.mywebsite.com/#/$1 [L,R=301]
I also read about the NE (no escape) flag (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/advanced.html#redirectanchors) which did not help either.
I am also sure that the server is actually using the file.
To summarize, my problem is that I want to match a URL containing /docs/#/ and redirect it to a subdomain, keeping the /#/ and everything that follows it.
Anchors are not part of the URL that's transmitted to the server: They stay within the browser, thus you can't build a rewrite rule that take anchors into account.

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/$1 [P]
But when i open www.domain.fr or www.domain.fr/somecontent.php in the browser it says "Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /somecontent.php on this server."
Instead, if i place [L] or [L,R=302] in place of the [P] in the last line of .htaccess, it correctly redirect to the www.domain.it/fr/somecontent.php showing it contents, but it shows the destination url (the it domain) in the browser bar.
So i think the rules are correct, but for some reason when i use the [P] flag which as far as i know is needed to mask the url, it doesn't work.
Have you any clues ?
Thank you!
I have Apache and want to implicitly redirect http request to a file.
That is, when a user hits http://example.com/foo/bar, I wish a user to see a content on .xml file under /some/folder/file.xml and at the same time a user must see http://example.com/foo/bar in the address bar.
Redirect instruction in httpd.conf makes a URL being changed once it gets redirected, but I want to keep the URL same.
Try this.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule "/foo/bar$" "/some/folder/file.xml" [PT]
you can even specify mime-type.
RewriteRule "/foo/bar$" "/some/folder/file.xml" [PT,H=application/xml]
You need internal remapping.
On my website, I would rename the URL on address bar, from
domain.com/economy/article.php?id=00
to
domain.com/economy/id-name-article.html
I wrote this .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\.]*)\.html$ http://domain.com/economy/article.php?id=$1 [L]
I have an anchor with this href: href="economy/id-name-article.html" and when I click on it, the server is redirected on article.php, it runs the script in the correct way and I can view the article, but on the address bar is still written domain.com/economy/article.php?id=00 instead domain.com/economy/id-name-article.html. Why?
This happens only on my online server, while locally it's all right.
The mod_rewrite module is issuing a redirect to your browser rather than transparently rewriting the url, causing you to see the new url in your browser.
Try removing the http://domain.com portion from your RewriteRule to see if it avoids the redirect to your browser by changing the rule to:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)-([^\.]*)\.html$ /economy/article.php?id=$1 [L]
If that fails, you could also use the proxy flag [P] to force apache to transparently fetch the page and return it to your users without the redirect. I don't recommend this approach since it can have security implications but it should work if the above doesn't.
EDIT: To clarify, rewriting the url with a fully-qualified domain rather than a relative uri tells apache that the redirect is on a different server, and therefore it doesn't know that the new url is accessible on the same host without redirecting the client.
Cannot seem to get a mod_rewrite to work. We have a domain name that has already been printed here, there and everywhere when the website was Flash. It has a # in its trail /#login.php and we want so that when people put this in it redirects them to /login.php. I have already tried this rule but can't get it to work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/#login.php$ /login.php
I have also checked that the rewrite engine is working by using a redirect to google. Just need the out of date #login.php to go to the new login.php
thanks
The # in the URL (or "fragment") is not sent to the server, it's purely for the client side to point to some part of the page. If you see http://hostname.com/#login.php in your address bar, the only thing the server gets is a request for /. You may need to employ some javascript on the page to look at the browser's address bar to find a fragment and maybe send that to the server as a query string.
Try :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^#login\.php$ /login.php [QSA,L]
Mod_rewrite is enabled ? available ?
