My ubuntu localhost mod_rewrite is acting funky. I'm trying to rewrite the url:
mydomain.com/random/50/post-title-here/
to:
mydomain.com/random.php?id=50
using the rewrite rule:
Options -MultiViews
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^random/([0-9]+)$ random.php?id=$1
I can't for the life of me see how that simple rule could be matched wrong, but it just isn't working as you can see from the rewrite log that I've cleaned up and presented here.

Any ideas stack?
The $ meta-character means "assert end of subject", so your URL will not match unless it doesn't have anything else after the digits.

Using Restler 3.0.0-RC6 I'm getting a 404 from Routes.php at route stage. I've turned on rewrite debugging on apache and I see that it's redirecting to /var/www/html/api/public/index.php when I try to load the URL, and that is in fact where the index.php for Restler lives. It's just not loading any of the classes from the src directory though. How do I debug this?
Here's the rewrite rule output:
[perdir /var/www/html/api/] add path info postfix: /var/www/html/api/v2 -> /var/www/html/api/v2/team/details/1/0
[perdir /var/www/html/api/] strip per-dir prefix: /var/www/html/api/v2/team/details/1/0 -> v2/team/details/1/0

[perdir /var/www/html/api/public/] pass through /var/www/html/api/public/index.php
And as you can see, the index.php is there, and the appropriate class is there:
% ls -l /var/www/html/api/public/index.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 961 Jun 3 21:40 /var/www/html/api/public/index.php
% ls -l /var/www/html/api/src/v2/Team.php
-rw-rwxr-- 1 559 559 19255 May 9 23:02 /var/www/html/api/src/v2/Team.php
I forgot to include the Defaults::$useUrlBasedVersioning = true; line in my index.php so it was always trying to force a v1 version to load, which doesn't exist any longer.
I am trying to introduce two URL path rewrites but for some reason it does not work as expected.
I am trying to rewrite:
/styles/democlient/main.css to _projects/democlient/public/styles/main.css in the first instance. The second 'styles' rule works as expected, only the first one doesn't.
I added LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6 to my Apache vhosts configuration to make it easier to track. It seems to me that when mod is reaching the first 'style' rule then it does not stop and for some reason tries to match it to the second one.

If you could help me find the reason, would be great.
You need to add a ^ before your styles RewriteRules and prevent your last RewriteRules to redirect physical files.

I am a little miffed by this one, the rules I am pretty sure are correct yet when using them in a .htaccess file they just won't apply.
The rules push everything through a dispatch.php which then handles my MVC views and controllers for me.

I have finished developing a micro app with Phalcon and tried to move it to production server, but have encountered some problems with .htaccess rules.
Directory layout on the serwer is like this :
/var/www
|- .htaccess
|- redmine/
|- wordpress/
|- (other dirs)
|- MyApp/
|- .htaccess
|- public/
|- .htaccess
|- api.php
/var/www/.htaccess :
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(redmine|MyApp) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
/var/www/MyApp/.htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif|\.jpg|\.png|\.mp3|\.ods|\.csv|\.xls)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif|\.jpg|\.png|\.mp3|\.ods|\.csv|\.xls)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
/var/www/MyApp/public/.htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php?_url=/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I'm really new to all this. The top-most .htaccess was not setup by me, and frankly I don't know what is going on in there. The others are based on Phalcon tutorials.
Everything worked on my local machine, but stopped when I uploaded it. I turned on logging in both places.

The differences begin with the first line with [perdir (...)] ending with /public/. I don't understand why it adds .php and why the !-f rule doesn't match on the remote server.
Local server :
OSX 10.9.3, MAMP 3.0.4, Apache 2.2.26
Remote server :
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.9, Apache 2.2.16
I wonder whether this is caused by the additional .htaccess file on the remote, or by the difference in Apache version.
I'd appreciate some explanation as to what's going on and any directions on where to look for answers.
Cheers!
This looks like it may be caused by multiviews. In both htaccess files inside MyApp, add this (above your rules, but anywhere is fine):
Options -Multiviews
Note that because api.php exists, a PATH INFO url like: /MyApp/api.php/something will fail the !-f check.
I'm trying to disallow access to certain folders in my webApp, but there seems to be some exception to the use of index.cfm somewhere...
for this example I'm using just the folllowing mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm [QSA,L]
accessing the following urls with results:
/index.cfm //->/index.cfm naturally
/test/test.html //->/index.cfm
/test/ //->/index.cfm
/test/test.cfm //->/index.cfm
/test/index.cfm //->/test/index.cfm
Note that the last request seems to ignore the rewrite rule, how could that happen?
(All files above are not present in the file system with exception to the index.cfm in the root)
EDIT also, the .htaccess file is placed in the root directory
EDIT 2 I added a RewriteLog to see whats going on, There definitely is a difference but I dont see why...

Not the perfect answer i was looking for but this is what I did to get the same result:
In the .htaccess I add the following line to forward any files not processed by railo:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(my|forbidden|folders)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.cfm/some/page [L]
In the application.cfc I add the following line to forward the files processed by railo:
<cfif Find(listFirst(arguments.targetPage, "/"), "my,forbidden,folders")>
<cfset GetPageContext().Forward("/index.cfm/some/page")>
</cfif>
This way I can show another page whilst not changing the requested url.
I was hoping for a solution just in the .htaccess but it seems because of a bug in the resin / apache connection this cannot work yet.
