I’m attempting to rewrite a link on my Apache config file so that it looks like an internal link, but is actually external.
The link on my site will look like this, and have multiple querystrings.
http://www.mysite.com/myscript.asp?somevar=1&othervar=2
But when clicked will be rewritten as this:
http://www.othersite.com/script.asp?somevar=1&othervar=2
Here is where I am so far (not working):
RewriteRule ^myscript.asp?(.*)$ http://www.othersite.com/script.asp?(.*) [L]
Can anybody get this rule working? Thanks!
I hope this would be helpful:
RewriteRule ^myscript\.asp\?(.*)$ http://www.othersite.com/script.asp?$1 [L]
Note: question mark(?) and dot(.) have special meaning in reqular expresion, so if you want to use them as meaningless character put \ before them!

I've tried for ages to fix this problem that I have.
On my website I have rewriten some links with the htaccess file. The htaccess file currently looks like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ index.php?sideID=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_!-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_!-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_!-]+)$ index.php?sideID=$1&id=$2&title=$3
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mypage\.no$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/mypage\.no\/" [R=301,L]
The first rule rewrites from:
http://mypage.com/index.php?sideID=home
To this:
http://mypage.com/home
The first rule rewrites from:
http://mypage.com/index.php?sideID=b&id=12&title=a-great-blog-post
To this:
http://mypage.com/b/12/a-great-blog-post
Soo they do what I want too when it comes to rewriting I guess. BUT, the problem is that if im now navigated to any blog post on the site and then tryies to navigate back to whatever other link lets say http://mypage.com/home it will add http://mypage.com/b/12/home instead. That can of course be fixed easily by just using absolute URL's in the navigation. But when I try to make a XML Sitemap, the bot will index every page for each blog ID like so: http://mypage.com/b/12/home, http://mypage.com/b/13/home, http://mypage.com/b/14/home and so on for each blog ID and pagename.
Is there a way to make sure the RewriteRule's apply seperatly or set a condition for them or something like that?? I am a bit noob in this area.
I beg you, please help me! :)
everything at my website is served from a master index.php at Document root
so normally all the functions looks like ./index.php?storage=seven
i wanted to make it looks better, so tried to use Mod_Rewrite as shown below
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/storage /index.php?storage=seven [L]
Now i am able to access the function using ./storage
but when somebody types ./storage/ (an extra '/' at end) or ./storage/some/junk the Link still works but the path to images/css/script in my page brakes(the paths to these is broken), which means, i just need it to be working for ./storage and everything else should give 404 error (./storage/ and ./storage//... to give 40)
Please help me out here, i am very new to Mod_reWrite
Thanks
Small change in rule ... and it started working
RewriteRule ^storage$ index.php?storage=seven [L]
By the way seven here is hard-coded from the Rule itself, please don't get confused with that
Thanks
Im trying to use mod_rewrite to redirect any call to /real-estate/* to rewrite.php...i know i can redirect everything to rewrite.php with this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rewrite.php?url=$1 [L]
I would like to have my urls formatted like /real-estate/12345/123-anywhere-st ....where the 123-anywhere-st would be ignored, and have /real-estate/12345 sent to rewrite.php...id like the rewrite rule to only be used on /real-estate...all other areas of the site should function as is...Ive searched all over for a good tutorial or cheat sheet, but none that I can find actually explain how to format the mod_rewrite rules, they just give one or two examples and thats it...can anyone help, as well as maybe provide a link to somewhere I can learn
Thanks!
RewriteRule ^/real-estate/(.*)$ rewrite.php?url=$1 [L]
I'm working on a Business Directory Website. What I'd like to do is transform the URL String of :
http://www.website.co.uk/business/results.php?category_id=11
To http://www.website.co.uk/business/Financial & Legal
How do I achieve this? Not too sure on the Rewrite Rules etc I am to use.
Thanks for any help, in advance.
I am now trying jut a test on a local host.
The HTML Code is as follows :
<h1>This is the PHP file.</h1>
Link Here
So all I want is the URL to be http://localhost/mod_rewrite/index.php/category
rather than : http://localhost/mod_rewrite/index.php?url=category
The .htaccess file is as follows (But doesnt appear to work)??
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?url=$1 [L]
Well,
in general you don't use ampersands in URLs.
They will be replaced by "%26" when you try to call them as a link.
But a general approach towards your question could look like that:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^business/Financial.*?Legal$ results.php?category_id=11 [L]
I hope I can explain this clearly enough, but if not let me know and I'll try to clarify.
I'm currently developing a site using ColdFusion and have a mod_rewrite rule in place to make it look like the site is using PHP. Any requests for index.php get processed by index.cfm (the rule maps *.php to *.cfm).
This works great - so far, so good. The problem is that I want to return a 404 status code if index.cfm (or any ColdFusion page) is requested directly.
If I try to block access to *.cfm files using mod_rewrite it also returns a 404 for requests to *.php.
I figure I might have to change my Apache config rather than use .htaccess
You can use the S flag to skip the 404 rule, like this:
RewriteEngine on
# Do not separate these two rules so long as the first has S=1
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1.cfm [S=1]
RewriteRule \.cfm$ - [R=404]
If you are also using the Alias option then you should also add the PT flag. See the mod_rewrite documentation for details.
Post the rules you already have as a starting point so people don't have to recreate it to help you.
I would suggest testing [L] on the rule that maps .php to .cfm files as the first thing to try.
You have to use two distinct groups of rewrite rules, one for .php, the other for .chm and make them mutually exclusives with RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}. And make use of the flag [L] as suggested by jj33.
You can keep your rules in .htaccess.
