I need to allow urls like http://example.com/forum on my website.
Here is my .htaccess :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-z-]+)$ /$1.php [L]
Currently, I get a 404 error.
If I change ^([a-z-]+)$ /$1.php [L] to ^([a-z-]+).html$ /$1.php [L], and my url http://example.com/forum.html, it works.
I want something like stackoverflow, http://stackoverflow.com/questions
EDIT: It works with WAMP in localhost, but on the website, it doesn't.
What's missing?
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# add .php file extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule (.+) /$1.php [L,QSA]
I have added Options -MultiViews -- can make a big difference on some configurations (possibly your case).
Rule is now also checking if such .php file actually exist. If not -- no rewrite occurs.

I have a php website and my current .htaccess file is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Options -Indexes
</IfModule>
Now I want to do a 301 redirect on a URL. From example.com/folder/old-url-london.htm to example.com/new-url-london/
The problem is everytime I try something I get:
www.example.com/new-url-london/?page=folder/old-url-london.htm
Now I can't change this line (RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1 [NC,L,QSA]) as it is essential to the working of the website.
Any ideas?
I tried the following:
Redirect 301 /folder/old-url-london.htm example.com/new-url-london/
as well as
RewriteRule ^folder/old-url-london.htm$ /new-url-london/ [R=301,L]
Sounds like you are perhaps putting the rule in the wrong place. Or used the Redirect directive. And/or are perhaps now seeing a cached response.
You need to use mod_rewrite RewriteRule to avoid conflicts with the existing rewrite AND the rule needs to be at the top of the file, before the existing rewrite and ideally after the RewriteEngine directive.
For example:
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder/old-url-london\.htm$ /new-url-london/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
You will need to clear your browser cache before testing, since any erroneous 301 (permanent) redirects will have been cached by the browser. Test first with 302 (temporary) redirects for this reason.
Don't forget to backslash-escape literal dots in the regex.
I tidied up a few other bits:
<IfModule> wrapper is not required.
Combined Options at the top and re-enabled FollowSymLinks (since it is required by mod_rewrite)
RewriteBase is not required in the directives you've posted.
Removed spurious spacing.
NC flag not required on the rewrite since the pattern .* already matches everything.
The anchors on the pattern ^(.*)$ are not required since regex is greedy by default.
I was trying to rewrite a URL for making my site SEO friendly, but .htaccess rewrite not seems to work.
My URL is
www.tasteofkochi.com/dine-detail.php?a=150
I need this to look like
www.tasteofkochi.com/sometext/150
I did the simple formula but it's not reflecting, intact nothing happens at all. If I add some junk char in htaccess, site crashes, which means htaccess is working fine. Also I added a formula to remove .php extn, and that too works fine. Only issue is with this one. Can anyone please help me. I enable rewrite in httpd and allow all in directories, still not working.
Below is my .htacces
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteBase /
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
RewriteRule ^detail/([0-9]+)/?$ dine-detail.php?a=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
We can create pretty urls with .htaccess and php by mainly two files one is .htaccess and another index.php
Example
Since I migrated my project on Symfony2, I also avoided to use .html extensions previously used for my generated urls.
So, after looking at some examples, I'am trying to execute this in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysite:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [NC,L]
#this is the standard rewrite rule to redirect every request to /web/app.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I have tried many combinations but no one seems to work. Any Help? Thanks
Since 2 days I have been trying to get my cake app working (using German 1&1 hosting). The desired address is: http://www.bzalewski.de/k/front. If you open it, you can see, it's there but without images and css. Also this: http://www.bzalewski.de/k/front/art/discover doesn't work (but it does locally with XAMPP. There is no routing, just ArtController --> public function discover()).
I followed the instructions from this article: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/tim_m/2007/09/20/500-errors-with-1and1-hosting-apache-1-x
My three .htaccess look like this:
./.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /k/front/app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) k/front/app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
./app/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /k/front/app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /k/front/app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
.app/webroot/.htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /k/front/app/webroot/index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I would appreciate any help to:
make controllers work (art/discover working)
make images and other stuff in the webroot directory work
Just to mention it: my local XAMPP installation works with standard .htaccess files without any problems.
Try adding this line in the root .htaccess (the htaccess in /k/front/ folder) after RewriteEngine On:
RewriteBase /k/front/
Edit : I did not see that you put /k/front/ everywhere in the htaccess
Then add RewriteBase / with you version of the htaccess
OR add RewriteBase /k/front/ with the default htaccess (without /k/front/ in the RewriteRules )
I am trying to set up my htaccess file to perform these redirections:
http://www.mysite.com/about should link to http://www.mysite.com/content/pages/about.php
http://www.mysite.com/login should link to http://www.mysite.com/content/pages/login.php
http://www.mysite.com/prices should link to http://www.mysite.com/content/pages/prices.php
Thanks
To only redirect URLs you have provided you can use this kind of rule (you can add other pages to the list of you need):
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(about|login|prices)$ /content/pages/$1.php [L]
To redirect ALL non-existing pages to /content/pages/PAGE_NAME.php, you can use this rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# do not do anything for already existing files (like images/css/js etc)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
# redirect everything else
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/content/pages/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /content/pages/$1.php [L]
NOTES:
You need to place these rules into .htaccess in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
