I want to be able to enter the following into the URL:
https://mydomain.com/fork
or
https://mydomain.com/fork/
And for both to goto a subfolder called
https://mydomain.com/prod/fork_contents/index.html
But still only display https://mydomain.com/fork (or https://mydomain.com/fork/, either way)
I would like index.html to act as the root so all the image urls, etc still work (they are relative to '/prod/fork_contents/')
Currently the .htaccess in the root is:
ErrorDocument 404 /live/site_documents/document404.html
ErrorDocument 403 /live/site_documents/accessDenied.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^fork$ /fork/index.html [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^fork/$ /fork/index.html [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^fork/(.*)$ /prod/forklift_contents/$1 [L,QSA]
https://mydomain.com/fork/ Works fine!
https://mydomain.com/fork Doesn't work. The index.html loads, but it can't find any of the files. Firebug's net panel reports the following 'https://mydomain.com/css/style.css not found'. So the second case (without the trailing /) doesn't seem to know to go into https://mydomain.com/fork/css/style.css.
Thoughts?
You can use the question mark for optional charters
RewriteRule ^fork\/? /prod/fork/$1 [L]

Having some experience with procedural php I watched some tutorials about OOP and the MVC model (with php). Things start to get more clear and I wanted to put the theory to practice.
The tutorial I'm following works with an app folder and a public folder, both subfolders of the root directory. There's an index.php file in the public folder and a htaccess file that redirects all requests (in the public folder) to none existing files to index php. The code in that file is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /public
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
That works fine.
In the root folder there is also a htaccess file with the purpose of redirecting all url requests to the public folder (in case /public/ is not in the url. The code in that file is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
That goes wrong, and it's the second RewriteRule that causes the problems. If I for example browse to
www.mywebsite.com
the browser redirects to www.mywebsite.com/public/index.php
But if I browse to www.mywebssite.com/shop (shop is not an existing file) I suppose the browser redirects to www.mywebsite.com/public/index.php?url='shop', but instead there is an internal server error. It seems to be the second RewriteRule that causes the problem.
What could be the problem?
I am on mobile I haven't tested it but looks like you could be reaching out to maximum redirect limits here why because your condition in your root htaccess isn't looking good to me, try this once.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/? [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Issues in OP's approach: You haven't mentioned any condition to when it should redirect so it doesn't know when to stop hence it's creating a loop here IMHO.
I'm using some software that sits in the /var/www/html folder and manages URL redirects through .htaccess (the software isn't Wordpress, but it manages URL redirects in a similar way).
I need to carve two folders (/var/www/html/folder1 and /var/www/html/folder2) out from the redirect rules, which are at the very bottom of the .htaccess file. I read through a ton of documentation but can't seem to make the following work in .htaccess (which sits in /var/www/html):
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
#force HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#carve out these folders
RewriteRule ^/folder1($|/) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/folder2($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)//(.*)$
RewriteRule . %1/%2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?qa-rewrite=$0&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>
When I go to the directories in question (eg. https://example.com/folder1), I get: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /folder1/ on this server.
Any ideas?
I can't comment as I'm new but do the two folders have any sort of index page? Otherwise you will get a 403 response because you have disabled indexes at the top of your file excerpt.
I was trying to rewrite a URL for making my site SEO friendly, but .htaccess rewrite not seems to work.
My URL is
www.tasteofkochi.com/dine-detail.php?a=150
I need this to look like
www.tasteofkochi.com/sometext/150
I did the simple formula but it's not reflecting, intact nothing happens at all. If I add some junk char in htaccess, site crashes, which means htaccess is working fine. Also I added a formula to remove .php extn, and that too works fine. Only issue is with this one. Can anyone please help me. I enable rewrite in httpd and allow all in directories, still not working.
Below is my .htacces
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteBase /
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
RewriteRule ^detail/([0-9]+)/?$ dine-detail.php?a=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
We can create pretty urls with .htaccess and php by mainly two files one is .htaccess and another index.php
Example
I've been working with my own MVC system for a while now and it works great!
I use this in my .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
Now, when a page (controller) doesn't exist, I redirect to /error (in the index.php file).
But there are some scenarios when a picture will be deleted in a folder, and still be printed in the html page. This will automatically make the browsers call the picture, which doesn't exist (So it will call the /error page)
Now what I want to do is that, when a picture, or any file, (except, php,html files i guess) I would like to redirect to a 404 file instead of the /error.
I am certain that this could be solved in the .htaccess file, but me and Apache aren't so buddies at the moment. Anyone who is friend with Apache?
Thanks!
Assuming that your images are in a common subfolder, for example /images in http://example.com/images/img.png, you can alter your rule to exclude this subdirectory completely, then add an errordocument. This .htaccess should be in your www-root.
RewriteEngine On
#If the file does not exist, and the url doesn't start with /images
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
#If the rule above didn't match, and the file does not exist, use the ErrorDocument
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

I have a website that uses mod_rewrite for pretty urls. I have two main urls:
example.com/id
example.com/generate/id
And this htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^generate/([a-z0-9_-]+)$ generate.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)$ contact.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
The first url is working correctly, but the second not. Apache shows a 404 error, I think that it's because it's looking for the folder "generate", that doesn't exist, and it can't find the htaccess in the document root.
Thank you
Have you try
RewriteRule ^generate\/([a-z0-9_-]+)$ generate.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
