My local project's root is localhost/website
I created the file localhost/website/.htaccess with the following contents:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^content/(.*)$ content/$1.html [L]
What I exactly want to achieve:
localhost/website/main -> localhost/website/content/main.html
where localhost/website/content/main.html actually does exist.
I tried several rules but none of them worked for me. Somehow I think I'm missing something.
If you want to redirect /main to /content/main you'd have to omit the content/ from the first argument.
The following does the trick
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*content/[^/]*\.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ content/$1\.html [L]

We currently have a website with a URL structure as follows:
https://www.example.com/en_CA/homepage/page1.html
https://www.example.com/en_CA/homepage/page2.html
We need to shorten the URL to:
https://www.example.com/page1.html
https://www.example.com/page2.html
We have tried using the following rewrite rules and conditions:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en_CA/homepage/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /en_CA/homepage/$1 [P]
The problem we have is that we get a 404 because the shorter URL doesn't exist. I think the solution needs to also involve AliasMatch to set up an alias for that URL but I'm not sure how to go about that.
I've tried:
AliasMatch ^/[^/]*/(.*) /en_CA/homepage/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en_CA/homepage/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /en_CA/homepage/$1 [PT]
But this doesn't work.
The website is build using Adobe AEM so we need to ensure that AEM only ever receives the long URL.
Thanks

There is no need to use AliasMatch, I think, you want to access the url https://www.example.com/en_CA/homepage/page1.html from https://www.example.com/page1.html, and the same to the other one. Please let me know if I am wrong.
Try this, let me know if it works:
Please read the comments (text after # symbol) carefully
# Add this to your root .htaccess file i.e the public_html, htdocs, etc. or use RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On # Do not use this two times in one .htaccess file, be sure you don't have any other directories other than /en_CA/homepage/ in your root dir, or use the RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /dirname/$1 [L] for every dir.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en_CA/homepage/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /en_CA/homepage/$1 [L]
I am sure the above will work.
Follow the same to other folders.
I will add something later to hide the folder containing it.
I have a problem with changing the root directory in .htaccess.
My folder structure looks like this.
What I want to achieve is, when I visit this page:
/comparty/about/
The page I will see is this page:
/comparty/pages/about/
I have already tried to search on Google, but the code I found did not work, though I tried to change it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /comparty/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
I don't want it to redirect, I want to keep the same URL. Also I've had a big problem with Apache caching the .htaccess file, so I haven't been able to test many things.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
I found a way to rewrite the URL from /comparty/pages/about/ to /comparty/about/ - this is the code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /comparty/
RewriteRule ^about/(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
This only works on the about page, though. What would I have to do, to make it dynamic and work with every page?
You need to use a dynmic pattern :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /comparty/
#if the request is not for an existent dir
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#and the request is not for an existent file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#rewrite the request to "/pages/request"
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
RewriteConditions above are important to avoid rewriting your existent files and directories to the /pages subfolder. Without those conditionrt the Rule will rewrite all requests including the destination path /pages and this may result in rewrite loop error.
I know similar questions have come up, though often without a working answer. I'm hoping to have better luck!
I have an .htaccess file in my root directory adding "www" to everything:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^mysite.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.org/$1 [R=permanent,L]
This generally works fine. I have a subfolder (/myquiz/) in which the old index.html file has been replaced with index.php. I know there are external links to /myquiz/index.html, so I want to make sure those redirect. Leaving index.html in place and trying to redirect from that led to some odd behavior, but adding an .htaccess in that directory works for that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.html?$ /myquiz/index\.php [NC,R]
Trying to load index.html redirects to index.php as hoped for, and the WWW gets added if needed. But requesting mysite.org/myquiz/index.php directly does not add the WWW.
I tried adding "RewriteEngine inherit", but that resulted in calls getting redirected to my root folder instead. A great trick if I want to make a subfolder inaccessible, but not helping here. I also tried just adding the code from my root .htaccess into the beginning of my subfolder's .htaccess, but that worked no better.
Any ideas?
You shouldn't need to add another htaccess file in the myquiz folder. This should work in the htaccess file in the root of the site. Remove the htaccess file in myquiz and try this.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.org/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^myquiz/index\.html$ /myquiz/index.php [R=301,L]
Also I wouldn't use %{SERVER_NAME} unless your are sure the name is set properly in the config file. Then it can be more reliable than HTTP_HOST, otherwise I would instead use %{HTTP_HOST}.
I think inherit would work if you add an L flag to the rule that you have in your myquiz folder:
RewriteRule ^index\.html?$ /myquiz/index\.php [NC,R,L]
So that it redirects first, then the inherited rule (the www) gets applied after.
You could also just put both rules in the same file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.org/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteRule ^myquiz/index\.html$ http://www.mysite.org/myquiz/index.php [R=permanent,L]
I have the url such as:
page.com/content.php?xname=p&yname=q&zid=1
I want to rewrite this url using apache mod_rewrite into something like:
page.com/p/q/
note there should not be 'zid' parameter in renamed url. I know expressions are passed as GET into the original url.
Is it possible to rename as above. If yes, How to achieve this?
This one works fine for me and will rewrite request for /p/q/ to /content.php?xname=p&yname=q&zid=1.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ content.php?xname=$1&yname=$2&zid=1 [QSA,L]
This rule is to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
It will not rewrite if requested URL is a real file or folder (I'm sure you do not want to rewrite images or some other pages -- I had to add such condition since I do not know what is your website structure is).
RewriteRule ^content\.php\?xname=(p)&yname=(q)&zid=1$ /$1/$2 [R]
Instead of p and q you can try expressions like [a-Z0-9_-]+ to match identifiers.
There's an online testing tool here: http://civilolydnad.se/projects/rewriterule/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/[a-z0-9]+/[a-z0-9]+/$ content.php?xname=$1&yname=$2 [L]
Is it possible to set the /web directory as webroot without changing apache configuration file?
I tried using the following .htaccess code, but if i go to localhost/module/, it displays 404 error. But if i go to localhost/web/module/ then everything works.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule sf/(.*) lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ web/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) web/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
i do like this on the root :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) ./web/$1 [L]
And edit web/.htaccess uncommented the 'RewriteBase /' line.
this make all the mysite.com/aaaa/bbbb works like mysite.com/web/aaaa/bbbb
Short answer: no.
Bit longer: you will have to edit the apache config at least to give it permission to access the web/ directory, so even if you symlink your web folder to /var/www, it will not work.
This is quiet similar to my question Symfony on virtual host (document root problem).
This is my .htaccess in the project root directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/images/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/js/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/css/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/index.php [QSA,L]
This solved my problem but symfony tries to generate every url (eg. using url_for) from the document root so instead of url like domain.com/my-article it generates domain.com/web/my-article.
I had to slightly modify my PatternRouting class to trim the /web prefix from each url. I think this is not the best solution but it works.
Also if I want to access backend application I have to call always /web/backend.php/ because I don't want to have so many rewrite rules in the .htaccess.
If you want to see my extended PatternRouting class source code I'll paste it here.
Yes, it is possible. Copy everything from web/ up a level to your document root. Edit index.php to reflect the fact that everything it includes is now one level closer to its current directory than it used to be (one less ../). You won't have to edit a single other Symfony file.
