I want all my URL with matching pattern as
/released/2013/iron-man
/released/2013/abc-of-death
/released/2012/saw6
to be redirected to
/released/1.php
and I can the name as well.
I am adding this rule to my .htaccess file but its not working
RewriteRule ^released/([0-9]+)/?$ /released/1.php?id=$1 [L]
The trailing question mark matches an optional ending / which is not what you want.
^released/([0-9]+)/iron-man$
or
RewriteRule ^released/([0-9]+)/(.+)$ /released/1.php?id=$1+$2
Problem is that you have $ after second slash but you have movie name after 2nd slash like iron-man etc. Remove $ since you are not matching it.
Make sure that mod_rewrite and .htaccess are enabled through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(released)/([0-9]+)/ /$1/1.php?id=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
A RewriteRule which does not specify a specific external domain is always executed internally. To make it redirect as you ask add [R=301] at the end - or 302, 303 or 307 depending on which kind of redirect you require, but usually 301 is fine.
Besides that, the regular expression you wrote does not allow for extended URLs - remove the trailing $. After that the /? part is moot so you can remove it as well.
The resulting line would read:
RewriteRule ^released/([0-9]+) /released/1.php?id=$1 [L,R=301]

I've tried in in my localhost at it worked fine but after I upload it to my ionos webspace the website index is working but after I click the content it is not directing to anywhere and there is an error message:
Error 404 not foound, Your browser can't find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.
Here is my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) news.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^seksikateg/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+) seksikateg.php?kategori=$1 [NC,L]
and i placed he file in the same place as the index.php, news.php, and seksikateg.php
It's possible that MultiViews is enabled at your host and this will break your rules since this will append the .php extension before mod_rewrite processes the request.
However, your directives are also in the wrong order. The generic rewrite to append the .php extension should appear after the other rules.
Your rewrite to append the .php extension is not strictly correct as it could result in a rewrite loop (500 error) under certain circumstances.
Try it like this instead:
# Ensure that MutliViews is disabled
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)$ news.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^seksikateg/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)$ seksikateg.php?kategori=$1 [NC,L]
# Append ".php" extension on other URLs
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [L]
I've also added the end-of-string anchor to the regex of your existing rewrites, otherwise you are potentially matching too much. eg. /news/foo/bar/baz would have also been rewritten to news.php?url=foo - potentially creating duplicate content and opening up your site to abuse.
I would also question the use of the NC flag on these rewrites. If this is required then you potentially have a duplicate content issue.
No need to backslash-escape literal dots in a regex character class and the NC flag is certainly redundant on the last rule.
I have script file post.php which I'm using without .php extension using code below
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
I want to use a pretty URL. For example, when I request the URL /post/12 it should give me $_GET parameter 12 like I'm using with a query string: post?id=12.
Is it possible? Also, I don't want to direct all requests to index.php. Only requests that are made to posts.php script.
Handle requests of the form /post/12 with a separate rule, before your generic rewrite that appends the .php extension.
Try it like this:
Options -Indexes -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Remove trailing slash if not a directory
# eg. "/post/" is redirected to "/post"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
# Rewrite "/post/<id>" to "/post.php?id=<id>"
RewriteRule ^(post)/(\d+)$ $1.php?id=$2 [L]
# Rewrite "/post" to "/post.php" (and other extensionless URLs)
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
Notes:
MultiViews needs to be disabled for the second rule to work.
Your initial rule that appends the .php extension was not quite correct. It could have resulted in a 500 error under certain conditions. However, the first condition was superfluous - there's no point checking that the request does not map to a file before checking that the request + .php does map to a file. These are mutually inclusive expressions.
Without the first rule that removes the trailing slash (eg. /post/ to /post) it raises the question of what to do with a request for /post/ (without an id) - should this serve /post.php (the same as /post) or /post.php?id= (empty URl param)? Both of which are presumably the same thing anyway. However, these would both result in duplicate content (potentially), hence the need for a redirect.
I'm having an issue with a format of URL.
I need to send
/en
to /
The problem is that I need only /en (exactly), not /en/foo...
I know how to do it with string that ends with .html, but here I have other URLS that have /en/stuff and they are also matched.
Would really appreciate assistance...
You need to specify end of string in RewriteCond e.g.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/en$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [L,R=301]
Please note that Condition pattern as well as Rewrite Rule pattern are a perl compatible regular expression (with some additions):
For Anchors:
^ - Start-of-line anchor
$ - End-of-line anchor
EDIT
BTW, there is very nice htaccess tester at http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ which you could use to test the rules.
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^en/?$ / [L,R=301,NC]
This will redirect /en or /en/ to / also note that /EN will also be handled because of NC (Ignore Case) flag used here.
So I'm trying to get mod_rewrite to do a few different things, and I'm not quite there with it. I'd like to:
Remove file extensions from the URLs (in this case, .shtml)
Rewrite certain URLs like so:
/dashboard -> /ui/dashboard/index.shtml
/dashboard/ -> /ui/dashboard/index.shtml
/dashboard/list -> /ui/dashboard/list.shtml
/dashboard/list/ -> /ui/dashboard/list.shtml
/workspace -> /ui/workspace/index.shtml
/workspace/ -> /ui/workspace/index.shtml
/account/manage -> /ui/account/manage.shtml
/account/manage/ -> /ui/account/manage.shtml
Either add or remove a trailing slash ( I don't care which, as long as it's consistent)
What I currently have gets me about 90% of the way there. In my .htaccess file, I've got the following:
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html index.htm
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Get rid of the /ui/ in the URLs
RewriteRule ^(account|workspace|dashboard)([a-zA-Z0-9\-_\.\/]+)?$ /ui/$1$2 [NC,L]
# Add the trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/|#(.*))$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
# Remove the shtml extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.shtml -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1\.shtml
</IfModule>
Now the issues I'm running into are twofold:
First, if I try to access one of the index pages outlined in the directories listed in step 2 above, as long as I do it with a trailing slash, it's fine, but if I omit the trailing slash, the URL rewrites incorrectly (the page still loads, however). For example
/dashboard/ remains /dashboard/ in the address bar.
/dashboard rewrites to /ui/dashboard/ in the address bar.
How can I get these index.shtml pages to keep the address bar consistent?
Second, when I try to access a page other than the directory index in one of the rewritten directories, and I include a trailing slash, it gives me a 404 error. For instance:
/dashboard/list/
throws the 404 error:
The requested URL /ui/dashboard/list.shtml/ was not found on this server.
Any help to get this working properly that you can offer is much appreciated.
So I've figured out an approach that works for what I need. Here's the .htaccess I came up with, commented inline:
# Match URLs that aren't a file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# nor a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# if it's the index page of the directory we want, show that and go no further
RewriteRule ^(account|workspace|dashboard)/?$ /ui/$1/index.shtml [L]
# If we've gotten here, we're dealing with something other than the directory index.
# Let's remove the trailing slash internally
# This takes care of my second issue in my original question
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [L]
# Do the rewrite for the the non-directory-index files.
RewriteRule ^(account|workspace|dashboard)([a-zA-Z0-9\-_\.\/]+)?$ /ui/$1$2 [L]
Not sure if this is the most efficient way to do this, but it's working for my needs. Thought I'd share it here in case it helps anyone else.
Ok so i have a url like
domain.com/item/item_id/item_description/page
when i type the link without
/page
on the url it throws a 404 error and i have to type the trailing slash on the url to make it work..
this is my htaccess code
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^item/([0-9]+)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ item.php?action=item&id=$1&desc=$2&page=$3
i have found this after searching:
# add trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*[^/]$ /$0/ [L,R=301]
which kinda solves my problem but how can i make the trailing slash to be optional by the user if the user wants to add it or not so it wont redirect everytime a slash is not found
You can handle the request using one rewriterule.
RewriteRule ^item(?:\.php)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)?/?([^/]+)?/?$ item.php?action=item&id=$1&desc=$2&page=$3 [L]
Please note I have added (?:\.php) before ^item, just to be sure this rewriterule works, if your webserver for some reason convert request
domain.com/item/...
into
domain.com/item.php/...
Tip: you can see your current rewriterule behavior enabling RewriteLog:
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/dummy-host.example.com-rewrite_log"
Be careful do not use this in production.
Use two rewrite rules (one with and one without "page"):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^item/([0-9]+)/(.*)/?$ item.php?action=item&id=$1&desc=$2
RewriteRule ^item/([0-9]+)/(.*)/(.*)/?$ item.php?action=item&id=$1&desc=$2&page=$3
