I'm looking for a way to rewrite all my image requests from one folder into some.php file, while preserving the original image url (or partial path).
So,
example.com/folder/img/test.jpg
would be rewrited as something like
example.com/folder/some.php?img=img/test.jpg
(is this the best approach?)
I'm not familiarized enought witrh regular expressions, so I'll be very thankfull :)
note : I've tried some solutions before, none of them worked. ALso, I'm running Apache 2.0 under CentOS environment.
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 ^(folder)/(img/[^.]+\.jpg)$ $1/some.php?img=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
Make sure:
.htaccess is enabled
mod_rewrite is enabled
Your URL is http://example.com/folder/img/test.jpg
It sounds like you you want the filename of the image in the url to be included in the new php url, not the entire url. So something like:
RewriteRule ^folder/img/(.*[.]jpg)$ /folder/some.php?filename=$1
Considering what you mention in the comments and that the previous rules didn't work, I edited the message, this is what i have now.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)\.jpg [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/img/([\w]*\.jpg)$ folder/some.php?img=img/$1[R=301,L]
If folder is al variable, you can change that for (\w*) and add the reference in the right side of the rule.
Hope this helps.
Bye

I have already one blog running in root folder and I want to test another one in a sub directory called "test".
How do I make all links point to example.com/test/login.php and not example.com/login.php ? I don't want to edit all links in my files, I want this one behave as root so later no need to change anything when I put it in production.
I assume it can be fixed with .htaccess crazy Rewrite Module but I haven't figured it out yet so please help save my time!

Reference: Apache mod_rewrite Introduction
My software supports multiple domains pointed at the exact same directory, I use shared hosting. I need to have each domain's favicon load from directories with their respective host names. Here is a visual...
http://www.example1.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example1.com/favicon.ico
\
http://www.example2.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example2.com/favicon.ico
\
http://www.example3.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example3.com/favicon.ico
I've tried some rewrites along the lines like this without any success...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^favicon\.ico$ %{HTTP_HOST}/favicon\.ico
Things to keep in mind...
1.) I use shared hosting so remember that the answer I need should be short and simple.
2.) I will only accept a DYNAMIC answer, I will only use the %{HTTP_HOST} variable and NOT a static domain name as I will not be manually editing my .htaccess file every single time I add a domain name.
3.) I may end up putting a .htaccess file in those sub-directories though I do not at the moment, an exception for the favicon would be greatly appreciated though is not necessary for me to accept the answer.
4.) I'll be more than happy to make any clarifications.
Use this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(favicon\.ico)$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
I have been struggling with this issue too but I finally fixed it using the following rule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico$ /sites/all/themes/mytheme/favicon.ico
</IfModule>
I stuffed this into a virtual host declaration. You can do this for each of your virtual hosts, all you need to do is point the second part to the correct icon!
This solves all of my favicon problems, even for Firefox :)
(Tested on FF25, Safari 6.1, IE8 and IE10)
This one worked better in my case
RewriteCond $0 !=images/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*favicon\.ico$ /images/favicon.ico [L,NC]
To support all possible browsers and platforms, in addition to favicon.ico file, need to have files such as android-chrome-192x192.png, apple-touch-icon.png, favicon-32x32.png, etc...
Here is rewrite rule to support them all:
RewriteRule ^(favicon.*\.(ico|png)|apple-touch-icon.*\.png|android-chrome.*\.png|mstile.*\.png|safari-pinned-tab.*\.svg)$ /favicons/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
This will serve favicons including Apple Touch, Android Chrome, Windows and other favicons from /favicons/<DOMAIN_NAME> folder.
I had a problem with favicon in files on subdomain
I was struggling with redirect for favicon in htaccess for only one subdomain for a long time.
My case was that all domain take favicon from public/ directory. One subdomain (let's call it 'subdomain_a') is configured to take it from another directory and it works.
Problem appeared when a file was opened on subdomain_a. The favicon in file view (f.e. pdf-viewer) was taken from public/ directory, not from configuration of subdomain_a.
Here is my solution:
# Redirect for favicon
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.subdomain_a.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/favicon.ico$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/favicon/for/new/domain/$1 [R=301,L]
the good old mod_rewrite. I can't seem to get it right.
Typical scenario: A user types in "http://domain.com/page"
I want that the user is being redirected to "http://domain.com/page/page2"
My htaccess file looks as follows:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /var/www/
RewriteRule ^/page/$ page/page2
RewriteRule ^/bla/$ page/page2/bla
The first rewrite rule works, the second on the other hand doesn't seem to have any effect. Any idea? Maybe a better way to do this?
And another question:
As I said the first rewrite works just fine, but the url is not pretty. "http://domain.com/page" changes to "http://domain.com/page/page2". Is there a way to keep the typed in url but still forward the user to the actual link?
I presume the .htaccess is in your DocumentRoot.
How does your /bla containing look like? This should not rewrite the URL in the browser.
Use this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(/?)page/?$ $1page/page2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(/?)bla/?$ $1page/page2/bla [L]
I think this is a pretty simple question.
How do you an apache rewrite to hide a folder.
EX: www.website.com/pages/login.php to www.website.com/login.php
or www.website.com/pages/home.php to www.website.com/home.php
The folder needs to alway be hidden. thanks
I assume what you want is for the browser to request /home.php but the server to actually use the file located at /pages/home.php, right? If so, this should work:
Make sure the apache mod_rewrite module is installed. Then, use something like this in your apache config, virtual host config, or (less desirable) .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /pages/$1
The rules use regular expressions, so you may want to look at a reference on that topic if you're unsure. Read the manual for more info on other directives (RewriteCond can be very useful) or rule options.
I know the original post here was from a couple years ago, but it's been coming up first in the search engine, so maybe this will help others looking to hide a folder name in the URL.
Not exactly what original poster wanted, but along the same lines.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomainname\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomainname\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfoldername/
RewriteRule (.*) /subfoldername/$1
The above example would redirect any request to mydomainname.com or www.mydomainname.com to the subfoldername directory in the root directory for the domain, and the subfolder name would not appear in the URL.
If your example actually reflects the files you need, then in your .htaccess file:
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/pages/(.+)\.php $1\.php [NC, L]
Also, if the directory has read permission, it cannot be, in reality "hidden". I assume you mean that it no longer appears in the url.
I am betting on an obvious problem here I am not seeing.
Here's the important bits for those of you familiar with Mod-Rewrite
.htaccess file with mod-rewrite rules exists here:
http://www.thedomain.com/.htaccess
User goes to this URL:
http://www.thedomain.com/test/blog
Mod-Rewrite rules should actually tell the server to access this URL:
http://www.thedomain.com/index.php?page=blog
.htaccess:
Options FollowSymLinks
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test/([^/.]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
This combination of code/request does not work. If you're wondering about the code snippet ^test not being ^/test instead, it is because apparently this is a problem on GoDaddy, the code fails with the / after the ^ - this seems like it may be related to my problem, which I'll explain further... If I change the .htaccess code line:
RewriteRule ^test/([^/.]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
to
RewriteRule ^test([^/.]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
(just removing the / here: ^test/([^/.]+) )
The code works when the requested URL is changed to accomodate (remove the slash; http://www.thedomain.com/testblog) as the user views the proper index.php?page=blog server response. It seems to me I cannot use any slashes within the darn match side of the RewriteRule. What gives?
Update: If at all relevent, this .htaccess file and the relevant files to the question all exist in a subdirectory off of the GoDaddy server that is hosting this although the domain points to the subdirectory as the root. Not sure if this is relevant.
Update: This server (at the server root) is actually running wordpress with pretty URLs enabled and they work perfectly fine. I assume wordpress uses mod-rewrite to make crazy urls like thedomain.com/2008/11/15/the-article-title.html work...?
Thanks so much.
Is RewriteBase what you're looking for?
there is a nice test utility for windows here
http://www.helicontech.com/download-isapi_rewrite.htm
try changing your code to:
^/test/([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
or without slashes
^test[^a-z]+([a-z]*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
I was unable to find a solid method around this problem on GoDaddy; for whatever reason I could not have slashes within the URL that was attempting to be rewritten aside from the base (http://www.somedomain.com/testingthis would work but http://www.somedomain.com/testing/this died).
I ended up instead using the Wordpress .htaccess to send all non-existant file/directory requests back to my index.php. I then used the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] var with pathinfo() to parse the URL and then direct what content to load from the parsing. This works well, is fast, and is probably the same method Wordpress uses.
Thanks for the attemps!

That’s not odd but necessary:
Per-directory Rewrites
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the pattern matching and automatically added after the substitution has been done.
And that per-directory prefix is for a .htaccess file in the document root (/.htaccess) the URL path root (/). Thus patterns with the ^ must be written without that per-directory prefix /.
On the same way the substitution is handled. After a rule is applied, the per-directory prefix is added to the substituion. So try this rule:
RewriteRule ^test/([^/.]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
OK, first off, I think that the GoDaddy apache server simply has some of the options turned off. I think that if they don't have an AllowOverride FileInfo in their configuration, RewriteRule won't work so well, or at all.
Which means its surprising that the URL http://www.thedomain.com/testblog works at all, and gets re-written. So I guess I'm a little confused.
Here's an idea: Try creating a directory named test, and put the .htaccess file in there! It would look like this:
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
OK, another idea: Use RewriteCond. Maybe you can check the request URI directly, like this:
Options FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test/([^/]+)
RewriteRule . /index.php?page=%1 [L]
Last idea: maybe your browser sees the URL http://www.thedomain.com/test/blog and thinks it's a directory, and adds a slash? So the URL is sends is http://www.thedomain.com/test/blog/. In that case, the REGEX won't match unless you allow for a trailing slash:
RewriteRule ^test/([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
Whoops. Sorry for gushing - there's just some many things that can go wrong in an HTTP request that goes through rewriting, and as many ways to try and overcome the problems :-)
