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 have a sneaking suspicion this is not possible, but figured I would ask regardless.
Is it at all possible to take a URL passed to a server in the form of:
http://domain.com/index.php?Action=Controller/Action&one=1&two=2&three=3
And rewrite it to appear as:
http://domain.com/Controller/Action/1/2/3
I am trying to clean up an borderline ancient project to support "Pretty URLs" and I would really like to make the URLs display a bit nicer. I know I could setup a 301 header redirect to the new URL, but I would prefer to avoid that overhead if at all possible.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
To get
http://domain.com/index.php?Action=Controller/Action&one=1&two=2&three=3
To appear as
http://domain.com/Controller/Action/1/2/3
You will need to use %{QUERY_STRING} to capture the query string data. Your .htaccess file will look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Action=Controller/Action&one=(\d+)&two=(\d+)&three=(\d+)
RewriteRule ^.+ /Controller/Action/%1/%2/%3 [R=301,L]
This will set up a permanent redirect to the new page. You can play around and test .htaccess rewrite rules here: htaccess.madewithlove.be
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?Action=$1/$2&one=$3&two=$4&three=$5 [L,QSA]
I looked on the web but none of the questions had condition similar to mine.
I want to rewrite http://sub.domain.com/this to http://domain.com essentially masking the url
For example, if a user goes to http://domain.com he should see content of http://sub.domain.com/this and i want to accomplish this without redirect (so the url remains same)
Is it possible? Can anyone help me with this?
Yes, it is possible. You just have to put this .htaccess in your root folder :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://sub.domain.com/this [L]
SO I have this in my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /core/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^page page/%1/? [L]
my url is
http://localhost/core/page.php?page=8
with the rules applied I'm getting..
Not Found
The requested URL /core/page/8/ was not found on this server.
This is running on wampserver 2.2
the file structure looks like
c:/wamp/www/core
the .htaccess is inside the /core/ directory.
What is it that I'm missing.. i've checked my apache.conf file and it looks fine.
I think you got it the wrong way around. When logically thinking of rewriting you don't rewrite original URL to new URL (for example page.php?page=8 to page/8/) you actually rewrite page/8/ to page.php?page=8. You tell the server how it should interpret the unfamiliar URL.
So if I understood correctly what you want to achieve is:
User visits localhost/core/page/8/
User is served (under the hood) localhost/core/page.php?page=8
I believe the following RewriteRule will do the trick (The query string condition is not necessary):
RewriteRule ^page/(\d+)/$ page.php?page=$1 [L]
Once in a while I have to fuddle around with mod_rewrite or rather Apache's redirect. Now I have a simple task, that drives me nuts, cause I can't get it working:
Everything that was under /journal/(.*) is now under /blog/(.*).
This is what I have now:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/journal/([^/]+)$ /blog/$1
If it matters: this is a drupal installation.
Drupal has existing rewrite rules in .htaccess. If you put your rules at the top of the file, Drupal's rules may override them.
I don't think you want the starting / in your rule.
If you're expecting the rule to redirect folks who use the old /blog/ URL, you're mistaken. If that's what you're trying to do, you'll need to perform a redirection, like this:
.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^journal/(.+)$ http://example.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
since your rewrite base is / I think you can leave out the / in front of journal. so try
RewriteRule ^journal/([^/]+)$ /blog/$1
Also if you have any other rules happening you can append [L] to the end of the statement to make sure no other rewrites happen.
my .htaccess in the root folder includes the following lines :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ http://example.com/?city=$1 [NC]
when I open the address http://example.com/bla.htm, my browser doesn't hide the GET values specified in the .htaccess, it redirects me to ?city=bla. eventhough I'm not using the [R] switch. This has always worked for me before (as I remember, haven't dealt with htaccess in a while). What's wrong here ?
When you redirect to an entire URL, it doesn't do URL rewriting (you can't exactly rewrite URLs on someone else's website).
Assuming both URLs are on the same server, you need to do something like
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ index.php?city=$1 [NC]
Also, I'd recommend getting into the habit of using the [L] switch whenever you can - it helps avoid bugs when you have a lot of URLs to rewrite.
