I'm trying to ignore a google adword get that is coming through.
Url coming in as:
/location/&gclid=287ejek22kj
This is going to a 404 page because of the gclid...
I need it to go to:
/location
I've tried this, with no success:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)&gclid=(.*)$ $1 [L]
All help is appreciated. Thanks.
Works here:
192.168.1.2 - - [01/May/2011:05:38:48 +0100] [192.168.1.2/sid#938b98][rid#2789a40/initial] (3) [perdir C:/HTTP/htdocs/] strip per-dir prefix: C:/HTTP/htdocs/location/&gclid=287ejek22kj -> location/&gclid=287ejek22kj

Check your rewrite log. See RewriteLog and RewriteLogLevel.
Looks alright but you can also try this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^&]+)&gclid=.*$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]

I have the same problem as htaccess - canonical URL when redirecting to subdirectory, but the solution there appears to use a hardcoded host name in the htaccess file which I can't do.
The following is in my htaccess file in the root directory which works fine for redirecting all requests into the /public directory with the exception of node_modules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# Allow node_modules
RewriteRule ^node_modules($|/) - [L]
# Rewrite everything to public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
However I realize that the pages can be accessed through two different URLs, for example:
https://localhost/application1/foo/books.php
https://localhost/application1/public/foo/books.php
How do I either prevent the second one (ideally) or have it redirect to the first one?
I tried various RewriteCond statements with %{THE_REQUEST} but they turned out to be infinite loops. As mentioned above this needs to be hostname-agnostic as the application runs on different environments.
Update
I tried #SuperDuperApps answer below with the following in my .htaccess, which seemed to make no difference:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^node_modules($|/)
RewriteCond $1 !^public($|/)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^public/ - [L,R=404]
After enabling RewriteLogLevel 3 in my dev server, this is what appears when I access a file with /public in the URL:
192.168.33.1 - - [27/Jan/2017:22:52:45 --0500] [localhost/sid#7f4a0d1d2cf0][rid#7f4a0d6a5d58/initial] (1) [perdir /var/www/html/application1/public/] pass through /var/www/html/application1/public/common/assets/js/nav.min.js
And this is when I access the same file without /public in the URL (desired behaviour):
192.168.33.1 - - [27/Jan/2017:22:48:45 --0500] [localhost/sid#7f4a0d1d2cf0][rid#7f4a0d684738/initial] (3) [perdir /var/www/html/application1/] add path info postfix: /var/www/html/application1/common -> /var/www/html/application1/common/assets/js/nav.min.js

This should do it:
RewriteEngine on
# Allow node_modules
RewriteCond $1 !^node_modules($|/)
# Rewrite everything to public except public
RewriteCond $1 !^public($|/)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L,QSA]
# 404 diret access to public
RewriteRule ^public/ - [L,R=404]
Got it working with two separate files.
.htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# Allow node_modules
RewriteRule ^node_modules($|/) - [L]
# Rewrite everything to public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
.htaccess inside public:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# pass-through if another rewrite rule has been applied already
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [S=1] # Skip the next rule
RewriteRule ^ - [L,R=404]
# ...additional rules here as needed
</IfModule>
[L] can have been used instead of [S=1] in the second file if there are no additional rules.
This question gave me the idea with "pass-through if redirect".
Also thanks to #SuperDuperApps for the debugging hint with RewriteLogLevel and the original answer with the [END] flag that may have worked if I had Apache 2.4.
I'm trying to figure out how to do an apache mod_rewrite to remap $_GET.
What I'm trying to accomplish:
Currently, to get to the page one would have to go to
http://www.domain.com/index.php?URL=pages/the-page.php
I would like this to work in 2 ways:
If someone goes to domain.com/the-page, it takes them to the above but keeps it looking like this. Secondly, if someone goes to the http://www.domain.com/index.php?URL=pages/the-page.php, it will still show as domain.com/the-page, keeping the URL short and clean.
Most Recently Tried Code
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} URL=pages/([a-z0-9-_]+)\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /%1
I'm pretty sure I setup everything right in the apache httpd.conf. I'm using XAMPP to test locally, restarted apache on changes, still nothing. Where am I going wrong?
I would prefer to handle this in .htaccess
I am using XAMPP localhost and trying on live server.

Thank you everyone that is helping. I've spent 2 days trying to get this to work!!!
Basically, you need two rules. One rule to redirect the client to a clean URL and another to internally rewrite the pretty URL to the real content via index.php.
Assuming the index.php and .htaccess is in a directory cdi
RewriteEngine on
# prevent endless loop
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
# redirect the client
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} URL=pages/(.+?)\.php
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /cdi/%1? [R,L]
# exclude rewriting all files located in /cdi/files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cdi/files/
# rewrite to real content
RewriteRule ^.*$ /cdi/index.php?URL=pages/$0.php [L]
Update:
When the request is /cdi/index.php?URL=pages/abc.php, the second rule extracts the needed URL part and redirects the client to the new URL path. The client then requests the new URL /cdi/abc and the third rule takes this and does an internal rewrite to the real content.
This all works fine as it should, but would rewrite and redirect indefinitely. To break this endless rule, the first rule checks the environment %{ENV:...}, if the request was already redirected REDIRECT_STATUS and then stops the cycle with the RewriteRule
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
which matches everything ^ and does no substitution, but ends the rewrite cycle with the flag [L]
Instead of using the system provided environment STATUS/REDIRECT_STATUS, you can also set a variable yourself with the flag E=SEO:1 for example, and then test for this variable with
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_SEO} 1
For the REDIRECT_ prefix, see Available Variables.
You could try this:
RewriteRule ^/([a-z0-9_-]{1,40})/?$ index.php?URL=pages/$1.php
Though ideally you might want to get rid of the "pages/" part of the query string variable, as this fixed constant could be handled by the index.php script.
You approach seems fine but your RewriteCond doesn't match your requirements:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^index.php?URL=pages
means "rewrite the URL if someone requests something that starts with 'index.php"—but that's not what anyone will be requesting. You want your visitors to request pretty URLs.
If your server only needs to serve those requests for /the-page, you can drop the condition entirely. Then any URL will be rewritten. (Note: This might not be what you want!)
Otherwise, the condition should read something like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^[a-z0-9-_]{1,40}
If you don't want to mess with regular expressions, you could also try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
which means "if the user requests a URL for which no file can be found, rewrite the URL according to the upcoming RewriteRule."
If you want the group ([0-9]+) to be alphabetic then just change it to ([a-z]+) and if you've wanted it to be alphanumeric, then change it to ([a-z0-9]+), and ([a-z0-9-_]+) if with a hyphen and an underscore. If you've wanted it to set their limits manually, you can do that with this format ([a-z0-9-_]{1,40}). Do you see, the plus sign is gone, for it limited the [chars] with 1 to anything, and the {1,40} limited the [chars] with 1 to 40, you can either change it.
Do you know what the real problem is? Is my stress.. Imagine even I know that you want to remap /$var into /index.php?URL=pages/$var.php I'm still trying giving you a wrong information that will rewrite /index.php?URL=pages/$var.php into /$var. I just have realize that after my 4 hours sleep. Did you see what's happening when the time of your sleep isn't right? Maybe a rule I would gives to you when my brain's in functioning well, was:
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+)/?$ /index.php?URL=pages/$1.php
Why did the viewers letting this to happened.. My previous codes are needed to be voted down.
I'm currently using wamp on windows 7. I'd like to clean my urls obviously. I've tried to find the current syntax and what not, but I haven't figured it out.
My path right now is localhost/rs/index.php
When I go to localhost/rs/user it gives me a 404, but localhost/rs/ gives me the index.php page.
This is what I have in my .htaccess file at the www directory of wamp.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ index.php
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)$ index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)/$ index.php?page=$1
I have un-commented the line
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
in the httpd.conf file of Apache
What's wrong? Is my .htaccess file in the wrong spot? Is my syntax wrong?
Thanks!
Place your .htaccess in /rs folder and try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]*)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
Hope this will help
Your .htaccess file should be placed in '/rs' folder, in the same directory where index.php is.
I've tried with enabled rewrite log, and what I saw there, when tried to access localhost/test/user:
::1 - - [12/Oct/2012:09:53:11 +0400] [localhost/sid#68a898][rid#1cc4d48/initial] (3) [perdir D:/Development/htdocs/test/] strip per-dir prefix: D:/Development/htdocs/test/user -> user

From the first line it is clear, that mod_rewrite is stripping beginning '/', and you are getting 'user' instead of '/user'. So, rewrite rules should be written without '/', that is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1
Also notice, that I've combined two last rules by writing '/?'. That means '/' symbol at the end of url is optional.
In order to turn on rewrite log, set the following in your httd.conf file:
#
# Logging for mod_rewrite
# Use RewriteLogLevel 3 only for debug purposes
# Normally use RewriteLogLevel 0
#
<IfModule rewrite_module>
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteLog "logs/rewrite.log"
</IfModule>
That way log will be created in logs/rewrite.log file. And this is usually the best way to examine what goes wrong.
If you're running it in subfolder you need to add this line after RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /rs
Also, make sure that in your apache virtual host section has this value
AllowOverride All
Seems like some apache module is interfering with my request uris as it suffixes ".html" to it.
My rewrite log:

This merely happens on our development servers. But It's hard do compare the whole apache config. Any ideas which module could be responsible?
Turn off MultiViews as this generates subrequests
Ditto DirectoryIndex with a list of possiblities.
Use the NS flag on your rewrite rules, or
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} t
RwriteRule ^ - [L]
I'm experimenting with CodeIgniter PHP framework, this framework works like:
http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/index.php/blog
So, I tried to remove index.php part from there. So far I do these:
make $config['index_page'] = "index.php"; to $config['index_page'] = "";
make $config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"; from $config['uri_protocol'] = "AUTO";
enable apache mod_rewrite by "a2enmod rewrite"
put a .htaccess file to /ci directory:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
And of course restart apache server

Here is the result in Firefox:
404 Not Found:
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
So, what should I do (or where am I wrong) to get work these URLs?
http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/blog/ instead of http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/index.php/blog/
Here is how i resolve it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|flash|css|js|robots\.txt|downloads)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Then in the config.php file
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
| http://example.com/
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:7777/~dhalsim/ci/";
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Index File
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Typically this will be your index.php file, unless you've renamed it to
| something else. If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this
| variable so that it is blank.
|
*/
$config['index_page'] = "";
UPDATE
In the routes.php file:
//Point to default controller
$route['default_controller'] = "site/home"; //Set to your controller
// Point to the right controller
$routing_array = array(
'blog' => 'site/blog',
); // set to your blog controler
Use the following Rewrite Rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [NC,L]
In order for this to work you should setup your CodeIgniter app on a different port or use /etc/hosts to give it a simple Vhost (127.0.0.1 ci and http://ci:7777/ with Apache set to use the ci vhost.). Then you can set the base url to / and not worry about it. Otherwise you're going to have to deal with confusing directory issues and mod_rewrite.
