when passing parameters after index.php its showing 404 error .. its apache error not the cms
but there is no problem accessing index.php directly
File does not exist: /home/me/web/test/index.php/a
File does not exist: /home/me/web/test/index.php/home
File does not exist: /home/me/web/test/index.php/contact
problem doesn't related to mod_rewrite because I am getting same error when index.php is in the URL ..
using .htaccess and mod_rewrite and removing index.php from url doesn't help :(
You're not making totally clear where those URLs come from, but from the looks of it, your web server's AcceptPathInfo directive isn't "On".
This directive controls whether requests that contain trailing pathname information that follows an actual filename (or non-existent file in an existing directory) will be accepted or rejected. The trailing pathname information can be made available to scripts in the PATH_INFO environment variable.

I have a website and I realized visiting an missing path, i.e. https://example.com/favicon.ico will actually return an identical http response as https://example.com/index.php
My goal is to return an empty string if favicon.ico does not exist rather than the contents of https://example.com/index.php
I have tried to create an empty file named favicon.ico in the file directory but this is not a permanent fix.
You may use $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to get the full url and check if it match index.php. When the last part of the url matches index.php you may send the default content. In all other cases it would be perfect to send a 404 HTTP-Status-Code and send your wished text.
Or you change your rewrite rules to a defined php script and send there a 404 site
I would like to move an entire directory and its subdirectories from one Apache server A to another Apache server B, and then create a redirection from A to B.
i.e.
http://server_a.com/docroot/dir to http://server_b.com/docroot/dir.
This is what I did:
I copied the files and directory structure under dir from A to B
I deleted the directory dir on A
I created a rule in docroot/.htaccess on server A that reads
Redirect permanent dir/ http://server_b.com/docroot/dir/
But when I go to http://server_a.com/docroot/dir/path/to/file/index.html, I get a 403 Forbidden, even if the target page http://server_b.com/docroot/dir/path/to/file/index.html is up.
I know that the .htaccess is read by Apache, because it correctly controls other parts of server_a. I am not root on these servers. I have also tried with a RewriteRule, with the exact same results.
How should I go about creating a redirect in this case? Thanks.
If you have mod_rewrite enabled than you can do this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?docroot/dir(/.*)?$ http://server_b.com/docroot/dir$1 [R=301,L]
Put it in your .htaccess file in the Document Root directory http://server_a.com/.
Note:
Delete you Browser cache first.
You'll need the leading / in the old URL. Like this:
Redirect permanent "/dir" "http://server_b.com/docroot/dir/"
See the mod_alias docs for more details.
I have created an axtra ftp account for someone else, so he can upload files.(tournament results, about 20/30 htm files and images)
I am also very paranoid, so in case he upload "possible dangerous" files, i do not want those files to be accessible via an http request. With the help of PHP I want to grab the content of those files. (I do not expect troubles with that yet)
Problem:
My hoster does not allow extra ftp accounts have access outside the public_html.
So i thought htacces should solve my problem. Just by deny from all rule.
But with ftp acces this htaccess file can be deleted or changed.
So i tried to add the following code in my main htacces file in the root of my site:
<Directory "/home/xxxx.nl/public_html/xxxxxxxx.nl/onzetoernooien/swissmaster_ftp">
deny from all
</Directory>
My site hung with an internal server error.
I have no access to the httpd file.
My idea was to use an htacces file above this directory.
If the absolute path was incorrect, i could use some kind of wildcard, like *swissmaster?
I have searched on the Apache website, but i get lost in the overwhelming amount of information.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Unfortunately you can't use a <Directory> section in .htaccess, only in the server configuration file. That causes the server error (check your error logs and you'll see the error message). We can't secure a subdirectory with a <Filesmatch "subdir/.*$"> either, as FilesMatch examines only the filename part of the requested URI.
You can, however, use mod_rewrite, along these lines:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^subdir.*$ - [NC,F]
If the requested URI matches the regex pattern subdir.* (so "subdir" followed by anything else; you may need to tweak the pattern, as it happily catches subdir_new/something.txt too -- I'm sure you get the idea), then mod_rewrite's F flag will return a 403 Forbidden status (the NC stands for No-Case, making the pattern case-insensitive).
The problem url links to my website are of the form
/fullpage.php%3F%20cp3_Hex%3D0F0200%26cp2_Hex%3D000000%26cp1_Hex%3DFC2024
The un-encoded url is
/fullpadge.php?cp3_Hex=0F0200&cp2_Hex=000000&cp1_Hex=FC2024
Apache returns a:
403: You don't have permission to access /fullpage.php? cp3_Hex=0F0200&cp2_Hex=000000
I have tried the following rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^/fullpage.php%3F(.*)$ /fullpage.php?$1
to no avail
Any ideas
You are almost certainly getting a 403 error.
The error is caused because ? is a banned file/directory name character on Windows and Linux. This means when Apache attempts to find a file or directory named "/document/root/index.php?blah" (after decoding) and it causes a 403 error. This is before the .htaccess files are read so you cannot use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file to override this 403 error or an ErrorDocument defined in the .htaccess file to catch this error.
The only way to catch %3f is to use mod_rewrite or an ErrorDocument in a "VirtualHost" e.g. in httpd-vhosts.conf (or the main server configuration if there aren't any "Virtualhost"s e.g. in httpd.conf).
Pretty sure based on various examples (like the one here) I set things up correctly:
1) I created a file 'notfound.html' in the root directory of my site
2) I'm running xampp, ie. Apache web server, so based on the stuff I've read, Apache looks for a notfound.html in the root directory of a site when a non-existent page is typed in the browser, such as www.mysite.com/NotAValidPage.html and uses that notfound.html for the 404 error message
Here's what I've tried and the result of each attempt:
1test) I put my own notfound.html in my site's root directory and enter a non-existent page
1result) my notfound.html is not used, but instead the default 404 error from (I guess) my web server, appears and says:
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try
again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost
2/14/2012 9:11:29 AM
Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
2test) I next added an .htaccess file to the root folder of my site and added this line in this .htaccess file:
ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html
then I typed a non-existent page into my browser.
2result) I still see a default 404 error page, not my notfound.html, only this time the default error page says:
Not Found
The requested URL /mysite.com/indsadfaex.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying
to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
3test) I then modified my .htaccess file by removing the '/' before the name of my custom 404 error page filename as follows:
ErrorDocument 404 notfound.html
3result) Now when I type my site name followed by a non-existent page, I no longer see the default 404 error page -- the browser window is completely blank except for the following at the top left corner:
notfound.html
Not sure what to do here, seems like I am missing some subtlety -- any ideas are really appreciated.
EDIT: I doubt it matters but there are 2 other statements in my .htaccess file for redirection situations:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)$ theHandlerPage.php?theArgumentPassedIn=$1 [L]
The regex here simply says 'go to the very end of the URL typed in and match a contiguous string of characters iff no '/' or '.' is in that contiguous stream of characters, then pass those in by way of $_GET[theArgumentPassedIn'] to the file theHandlerPage.php.
I don't think this rewrite rule is coming into play here because it will not match on a bad page name such as mysite/badpage.html because of the '.' in badpage.html.
Okay -- I discovered a bit of unexpectedness.
1) I move my notfound.html error file to the parent directory of my site -- whereas before the file was located at c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite/notfound.html, I have now moved this file to c:/xampp/htdocs/notfound.html.
2) then I use ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html inside of my .htaccess file, which is located at c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite/.htaccess
And now when I type in the browser bar mysite/aBadfilename.html, my 404 notfound.html is showing up fine.
BUT THIS IS UNWORKABLE. I cannot have my notfound.html reside in the parent directory of my site, because I need a different notfound.html for each site I develop. I must be able to put my site's notfound.html in its folder space, ie. inside c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite.
Because c:/xampp/htdocs is the root folder of all web sites on the server.
Why is my web server looking for my-site's notfound.html in the c:/xampp/htdocs root directory instead of c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite? After all, I type mysite/badfile.html so the web server (in my opinion) should understand that notfound.html is in the c:/xampp/htdocs/mysite folder space.
Are you using Virtual Hosts ?
if so, i think there is a problem, open your httpd-vhosts.conf and look for a line where is DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/bla/blah/mysite/ and write down full path to a host, if it doesn't work play with Directory path. Hope it helps.
