# RewriteRule "^(.*)$" http%2://www.%1/$1 [L,R=301]
Everything works fine (any suggestion to improve performances or for better regexps is welcome, anyway) but I'm experiencing a weird situation and I can't understand if it's produced by my rewrite rules or by a default Apache behavior.
If my URL ends with a "/", I can append as many slashes as I want without it being rewritten.
For example, if in my address bar I insert the following:
http://[MY-HOST-NAME]////////////////////////////
All those slashes are not being removed. And I'm still seeing my index.php page.
If I insert the following address:
http://[MY-HOST-NAME]/members///
All those multiple slashes are not being removed and I can see my members index.php page.
And so on...
Can someone help me please? Many thanks!

Gerbens answer works well for .htaccess but not so much for global config.
This one removes all the slashes before sending the redirect.
# if match set environment variable and start over
RewriteRule ^(.*?)//+(.*)$ $1/$2 [E=REDIR:1,N]
# if done at least one. redirect with 301
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIR} 1
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]

I've searched over previously asked questions but none have the same problem as me. I'm wanting to remove the trailing slash, whilst still sending all pages to index.php (or if the file actually exists, use that.)
I'd like a solution that I don't have to fiddle with between server and localhost.
So localhost/pages/to/file/ and http://example.com/pages/to/file/, go to ... /pages/to/file
My current htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
# removes www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
# if file exists, ignore the index.php re-write
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# send everything to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
Give the following a try:
RewriteEngine on
# Remove the trailing slash, if not in a directory
# DirectorySlash off can be used instead.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Remove www. (generic method with HTTPS support)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|off
RewriteCond http%1://%{HTTP_HOST} ^(https?://)(www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^ %1%3%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# Send everything (except existing files) to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
If this works for you, change the R flag to R=301 to make the redirect permanent.
You can add an extra condition to your existing rule to remove www and remove any trailing slash in that rule too.
RewriteEngine on
# removes www. and trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
# if file exists, ignore the index.php re-write
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# send everything to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
See the documentation for clarification.
Have a separate rule for removal of trailing slash:
RewriteEngine on
# removes www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.*?)[^/][?\s]
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,NE,R=301]
# if file/directory exists, ignore the index.php re-write
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# send everything to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
The 3 comments in the code explain fairly accurate what I want to achieve.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Change secretdiary.org/index.php?url=URL to secretdiary.org/URL on the browser's url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]
# Redirect http://www.secretdiary.org/ to http://secretdiary.org/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^secretdiary.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://secretdiary.org/$1 [L,R=301]
# Add trailing slash / if there's none
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(/$|\.)
RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
However, I am finding some problems and I think they come from putting the conditions together. When I enter www.secretdiary.org/about , it gets (showing it in the browser) to secretdiary.org/index.php?url=about, deleting the www but ignoring the first rule. Switching the order did not help at all nor messing with RewriteBase. However, if I enter normally without the www, the uri is shown normally, secretdiary.org/about, without any rewriting. Why is this and how can I fix it?
Besides, I've followed this answer and this other attempting to add automatically a trailing slash to the uri if missing. I could achieved it with PHP ( if (substr($_GET['url'], -1) != "/") header("Location: " . htmlspecialchars($_GET['url']) . '/');, but now it bothers me that I cannot achieve it with .htaccess, so if you could also spot where's the problem here it'd be very helpful.
Try this .htaccess code :
RewriteEngine On
# Change secretdiary.org/index.php?url=URL to secretdiary.org/URL on the browser's url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^secretdiary.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]
# Redirect http://www.secretdiary.org/ to http://secretdiary.org/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^secretdiary.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://secretdiary.org/$1 [R=301]
# Add trailing slash / if there's none
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)[^/]$ $1/ [R=301,L]
I'm not sure for the last rule.
The main problem I faced was with Firefox storing the 301 redirect, which made the changes in .htaccess "not work". I deleted the cache and now it's working perfectly, although I made the trailing slash to be added with PHP to avoid headaches.
.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# For some shady reason, this redirect should be first.
# Redirect http://www.secretdiary.org/ to http://secretdiary.org/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^secretdiary.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://secretdiary.org/$1 [L,R=301]
# Change secretdiary.org/index.php?url=URL to secretdiary.org/URL on the browser's url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
index.php:
<?php
// Redirect if there's no trailing slash
if (!empty($_GET['url']) && substr($_GET['url'], -1) != "/")
{
header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header ("Location: http://secretdiary.org/" . htmlspecialchars($_GET['url']) . "/");
}
// The rest of the php
I am using mod_rewrite to remove .php from my urls but for some reason, mod_rewrite is adding strange chars after the url.
E.g. I go to:
http://www.mydomain.com.br/como-funciona
and I get redirected to:
http://www.mydomain.com.br/como-funciona#.UMkkyuR2x8E
Here is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
# remove .php; use THE_REQUEST to prevent infinite loops
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.php\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
# remove index
RewriteRule (.*)index$ $1 [R=301]
# remove slash if not directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]
# add .php to access file, but don't redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
Thanks for any help!
As #MJK pointed out, it was some code from addthis that was generating these strange urls. Thanks.
I'm having a bit of problem with Apache redirect.
While bellow rules work for any page on site, mydomain.com will get redirected to mydomain.com//, which ignores trailing slash removal rule.
Also is it efficient to use multiple rules such as this or should I try to combine them or chain them somehow together in order to avoid multiple redirects for single url?
Thanks

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^\.localhost$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
The reason the mydomain.com gets redirected to www.mydomain.com// is because you have an extra "/" in your rewrite rule target:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
^----here
When you have rules in your server/vhost config, the leading slash isn't removed so that gets match and used as a backreference, so mydomain.com is / which matches ^(.*)$ and the target becomes http://www.mydomain.com//. So you can either remove the slash in the target or add one to the regex:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com$1 [R=301,L]
or
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Your other rule you have:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^\.localhost$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]
are fine. They are for removing trailing slashes when there is something between them, e.g. /something/, because of the (.+). It wouldn't match // anyways because that inherently gets turned into just /. You just need to prevent redirecting to http://www.mydomain.com//
I have the following rewrite rules:
#remove the www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.website.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://local.website.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
#this removes php extention
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
# stops you accessing url with.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^.?\ ]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.php(/.+)?$ /$1%{PATH_INFO} [R=301]
I want to add in a rule that removes the trailing slash if someone tries to access site with one.
eg
website.co.uk/cheese/ should redirect to /cheese
as you can see I have a rule that redirects ursl with the .php extention, not sure where to begin.
I do have directory in the root folder which I do not wish to remove the trailing url, but I can add a ignore rule for those.
Cheers
Make the change below to your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#existing rule
#remove the www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.website.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://local.website.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
#new Rule
#if its not a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#and it has a trailing slash then redirect to URL without slash
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# rest of your existing rules go here
