I have the file path: example.com/blog/ where blog is a directory. Blog gets a query string from the URL called URL and makes a dynamic page out of that information. So essentially it's something like this: example.com/blog?url=hello-world but i'd like to remove the ?url part and instead add a slash. So it should look something like this: example.com/blog/hello-world I've tried to accomplish this by putting the .htaccess file in the blog directory. This is my current .htaccess file, but it is not working:
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /stories/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?url=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [L,R=302]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
Inside /blog there is a index.php file and that generates the dynamic page.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^blog/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ blog/index.php?url=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^blog/?$ blog/index.php [NC,L]
Try this one.
EDIT
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(blog)/(.*)$ blog/index.php?url=$1
I have an app stored on my server in "SERVER_ROOT/app/1.0.1/index.php". The app is accessed by typing in "example.com/index.php" and I use a rewrite to achieve this.
The issue I am having is I want users to access "SERVER_ROOT/app/1.0.1/image/" by typing "example.com/image/" but none of my rewrites work when I edit the .htaccess file.
Here is my .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /app/1.0.1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^image/$ app/1.0.1/image/ [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Thanks,
Peter
Since the /image/ directory doesn't actually exist, it'll get trapped by the first rule that routes everything to index.php. Assuming your htaccess file is in your document root, you need to add the rule above your routing rule and change it to this:
RewriteRule ^image/(.*)$ image/$1 [L]
If your htaccess file isn't in the document root, then you need to add this rule to the top of the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteRule ^image/(.*)$ /app/1.0.1/image/$1 [L]
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.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Remove trailing slashes.
# e.g. example.com/foo/ will redirect to example.com/foo
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=permanent,QSA]
# Redirect to HTML if it exists.
# e.g. example.com/foo will display the contents of example.com/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]
# Redirect to PHP if it exists.
# e.g. example.com/foo will display the contents of example.com/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
try this, it work for me
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Enable Rewrite Engine
# ------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect index.php Requests
# ------------------------------
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]

RewriteCond $1 !\.(css|js|gif|jpe?g|png) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
For more detail
create .htaccess file on project root directory and put below code for remove index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
I am using a .htaccess file to direct requests for a directory to a custom php file that provides info about that directory (and i want the url displayed by the browser to not change).
Here is the relevant part of the .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myphp.php?url=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
This works well if you go to a directory and include a trailing slash:
http://domain.com/path/
But without the trailing slash, it doesn't
http://domain.com/path
The url (shown in the browser) turns into:
http://localhost:8888/path/?url=/path
I've tried fixing this by adding a rule above this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -D
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L]
But that isn't working for me.
How can I get .htaccess to add the trailing slash if it is omitted and then act just as if it had been there?
Thank you
Update:
As requested, here is the whole thing.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#force trailing slashes on real directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -D
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L]
#use the directory viewer on directories without an index page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myphp.php?url=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
This line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -D
Should have been:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
Don't bother with Mod Rewrite, there is a directive for it
<Location /some/path>
DirectorySlash On
SetHandler some-handler
</Location>
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html
Did you mean
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L]
instead?
I don't know about your approach. I would try something like
RewriteRule ^/(\S+)/?$ /myphp.php?url=$1
I've used this for rewriting before and it works:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com$1
RewriteRule ^/(\S+)/?$ /myphp.php?url=$1
Note that I didn't include the trailing slash in the first rule.
Also, I would advice you not to rely on .htaccess unless absolutely necessary. This is because the server will check for .htaccess files constantly. Using the httpd.conf file instead means apache will only load conditions and rules once. At least I was adviced to do so because of this.
Try this. It will add trailing slash to directory requests which don't have trailing slash.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#use the directory viewer on directories without an index page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /myphp.php?url=$1/ [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Example URL:
example.com/user
/user is both a symlinked directory and a valid URL to content on my site. I user Horde Routes to request the content and all requests to the site go through index.php.
I currently have a .htaccess file that looks like:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#allow cool urls
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [L]
#allow to have Url without index.php
But going to /user lists the directory contents rather than the webpage. Is it possible to ignore symlinks?
Additional to that is if you request:
example.com/user/some-css-file.css
That is a valid request that should not be ignored. So is it possible to allow files via symlinks to be requested, but the base symlinks themselves to be ignored and go to index.php?
Thanks :)
The test for !-d will fail when /user/ is requested since it’s actually an existing directory. You might want to use it without that condition and only allow direct access to existing files but not directories:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [L]
Additionally you could replace the pattern ^(.*) with !^index\.php$ so that a request for the index.php doesn’t require a filesystem lookup:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^index\.php$ index.php [L]
Forget ignoring symlinks just create another RewriteRule. Place it before the "allow cool urls" rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/user/$
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php [L]
So http://www.example.com/user/ or http://www.example.com/user should go to the content. The [L] should prevent further rules from being processed.
