I am trying to redirect /folder to / using .htaccess but all am I getting is the Apache HTTP Server Test Page.
My root directory looks like this:
/
.htaccess
-/folder
-/folder2
-/folder3
My .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1 [L]
What am I doing wrong? I checked my httpd.conf (I'm running Centos 5.3) and the mod_rewrite library is being loaded. As a side note, my server is not a www server, its simply a virtual machine so its hostname is centosvm.
Addition: I have found that the mod_rewrite module is loaded, but none of my .htaccess redirects seem to be working.
Addition: My httpd.conf directory directive looks like:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
#AllowOverride None
</Directory>
What does you AllowOverride say? (see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html)
And that would bring us to requiring this in (virtual)host/directory settings:
AllowOverride FileInfo

I got a basic problem that I can't resolve.
I set up a LAMP server on a Debian 10 machine which run into a Docker container.
PHP and the services Apache and MySQL are functionnal, but I got a problem with the URL rewriting.
It don't run, even on the basic entry point of my web server which is : "http://localhost/"
If I use the real adress, It work, but if I brink a "virtual" adress like "http://localhost/toto" for exemple, I got a 404 error from Apache.
Here is the content of my .htaccess file that I put on the root of my base directory "/var/www/html" :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.css|.js|.jpg|.jpeg|.png|.svg|.ttf|.woff|.woff2|.pdf|.zip|.mp4|.avi|.ogg)$
RewriteRule .* /index.php
In the configuration file of my default website (/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf), I've the directive "DocumentRoot /var/www/html".
If I do a phpinfo(), I see the "mod_rewrite" in the loaded_module.
Is anybody know how can I solve it ?

Finally..., It's OK !
My .htacess file was just ignored by Apache, because the AllowOverride statement was set to "None" by default in my "apache2.conf".
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
I changed it by "AllowOverride All", I restarded Apache and I could valid that the rewriting work fine.
Trying to fix this .htaccess, so it can work on a SSL apache server. Before it was hosted on another Linux server (http://) and was working without problems, but when uploading the files to another Linux server with apache and SSL (https://), it stopped working. The main function is to hide the .php extension...
Here´s what I was using:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
Thanks for your help!
So, .htaccess files may not be allowed, and by default on many systems they are not allowed. To see if .htaccess is allowed, make this your .htaccess:
BREAK IT!
That should be the only contents in your .htaccess. Attempt to load any page on your website, and if .htaccess usage is enabled, you would see "Internal Server Error" or possibly some other error, but you would not see your actual page.
If you do see the error, that's actually good and means .htaccess usage is enabled. If you don't see the error, it's likely that you will have to find your Apache .conf file and inside look for the line(s):
AllowOverride None
Change that to:
AllowOverride All
If after doing that you still can't use .htaccess, then there may be other apache related files that have "AllowOverride None". On that comes to mind is your virtual host file, and on my system that is located at /etc/apache2/sites-available/.
If you still have problems, check this out:
https://docs.bolt.cm/3.3/howto/making-sure-htaccess-works
Solution is for the issue, need to change in apache2.conf file after that it will works,
Change this file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
update it same
OLD:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
New Updated Code:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
I had a similar problem. Apache 2.4.23 with .htaccess error 404 set up.
Using it with HTTP works fine; access it with HTTPS didn't work.
I seted AllowOverride All in the http.conf and error 404 wors well.
Currently I am using OSX Server (Yosemite) to host a bunch of PHP applications, some of which have a sub-directory under the websites document root for subdomains. Since updating to the Yosemite version of OSX Server, these subdomains have been throwing a 500 error with the error log referring to RewriteEngine not allowed here.
Investigating, I have confirmed that both the parent and subdomain sites have AllowOverride All configured, and .htaccess files are working on non-subdomain sites. Also, I have discovered that renaming or otherwise removing the .htaccess file from the parent directory causes the sub-domains to start working again.
/original_site_doc_root <- doc root for regular site
.htaccess
index.php
...
subdomain/ <- configured as a seperate site in osx server as a subdomain
.htaccess
index.php
...
Every bit of googling I do ends up referring to making sure mod_rewrite is installed and AllowOverride is configured properly.
My question is, how can I get Apache to stop throwing a 500 error on the sub-domain sites?
Edit
Here is the .htaccess file for the sub-domain that is causing me grief (with domains, directories and pages fuzzed to protect the innocent)
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.m\.somesite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.somesite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteBase /
# supress php errors
php_flag display_startup_errors off
php_flag display_errors off
php_flag html_errors off
php_value docref_root 0
php_value docref_ext 0
# enable PHP error logging
php_flag log_errors on
php_value error_log /some/fuzzed/dir
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^home$ /home.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page1$ /some-page1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page2$ /some-page2.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page3/(.*)$ /some-page32.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page3(\/?)$ /some-page32.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page4/(.*)$ /some-page4.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page4(\/?)$ /some-page4.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page5/(.*)$ /some-page5.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page5(\/?)$ /some-page5.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page6/(.*)$ /some-page6.php [L]
RewriteRule ^some-page6(\/?)$ /some-page6.php [L]
The .htaccess for the parent directory/non-sub-domain-site is more or less similar, with the only real difference of relevance being the top 2 lines:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes -Multiviews
Just ran into this same problem (after recent update Apache2) and found a solution.
Assume your domain is example.com and the directory is /var/www/example/, and you had a subdomain called api.example.com with directory /var/www/example/api/.
Try to use the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName api.example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/example/api
<Directory /var/www/example/>
AllowOverride FileInfo Options
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/example/api/>
Require all granted
Options +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI -Indexes
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
This should work!
Since updating to the Yosemite version of OSX Server, these subdomains have been throwing a 500 error with the error log referring to RewriteEngine not allowed here.
OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) ships with Apache 2.4, whereas earlier versions of OS X ship with Apache 2.2. An important difference between these versions, and which is probably causing you problems, is that AllowOverride defaults to All in Apache 2.2 and None in Apache 2.4. (See the Apache Docs) You are perhaps relying on this default behaviour.
I have confirmed that both the parent and subdomain sites have AllowOverride All configured
But where exactly are the AllowOverride All directives set? I assume the parent and subdomain sites are configured as separate Virtual Hosts. If AllowOverride All is only set in the parent domain's VirtualHost, for the "parent directory" (of the subdomain), then this will not been seen when you access the subdomain, which is an entirely separate VirtualHost. You will need to redeclare this in the subdomain's own (isolated) VirtualHost as well (as in #benck's answer).
Or, if you don't want the parent .htaccess file to be processed at all then explicitly set the following in the subdomain's VirtualHost:
<Directory /var/www/example/>
AllowOverride None
AllowOverrideList None
</Directory>
.htaccess files work along the filesystem path, regardless of the host being accessed.
Alternatively, if the main domain is configured in the main server config (ie. not in a VirtualHost container) then you shouldn't have this problem, as the VirtualHost will inherit the server's configuration.
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Server#OS_X_10.10_(Yosemite_Server_4.0)
In my apache configuration I have a virtual host configured like this:
Alias /mediamanager /storage/files/mediamanager
<Directory /storage/files/mediamanager>
DirectoryIndex /mediaManagerIndex.php
DAV On
# ... And some authentication directives ... #
</Directory>
The idea is that someone can access the files both by a WebDAV-Client and also a simple web browser in which case some pretty directory view is generated by a PHP script.
That worked great in Apache 2.2, but recently I upgraded to Apache 2.4 and now it is broken. I highly suspect I I suffer from this bug which is already 2 years old and no fix in sight. The proposed workaround to add:
<Limit PROPFIND>
DirectoryIndex never-encounterable-file-name.html
</Limit>
Does not work for me. Probably because I still want to have a directory index. If I remove my DirectoryIndex altogether WebDAV works again (no index.html or similar files exists in this directory) but of course I loose the ability to use my PHP file as directory index. I tried to specify my DirectoryIndex in a <Limit GET> but this had no effect.
Is there any way to get both DAV and DirectoryIndex to work simultaneously in Apache 2.4 on Debian (if anyhow possible without changing the source code and recompiling)?
In order to fix this, disable directory indexing for the WebDAV site.
In your sites-available/site.conf file add DirectoryIndex disabled to the <Directory> declaration, like so:
<Directory /path/to/my/webdav/dir>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
DirectoryIndex disabled
</Directory>
Then just reload Apache and you will no longer have that issue:
sudo service apache2 reload
For me, the following configuration solved both problems:
WebDAV works again
directory indexing, if the user uses a web browser to access the repository
It works by manually implementing the directory-indexing feature with simple rewrite rules, which are applied only for the GET request method.
The following code has to be placed inside the server config or virtual host context in the apache configuration file.
# Turn off (automatic) Directory-Indexing
DirectoryIndex disabled
RewriteEngine On
# Rewrite rules for the root directory
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_METHOD}" "(GET)"
RewriteRule "^/$" "/index.php" [L]
# Rewrite rules for other sub-directories
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_METHOD}" "(GET)"
# The following line checks, if the index.php file exists
RewriteCond "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/index.php" "-f"
RewriteRule "^/(.*)/$" "/$1/index.php" [L]
Don't forget to reload Apache!
This is the solution I am currently using, located in a .htaccess file at the root of the directory tree used by the WebDav service. In this case I do not use PHP, only html files, but it can be easily adapted:
# Turn off automatic directory indexing
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex disabled
# Redirect directory requests to index.html, only for GET requests
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} "GET"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1index.html [L]
In order to launch always the requested PHP file, just replace "index.html" on the last line by the PHP file name:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1mediaManagerIndex.php [L]
I am not able to switch to pretty permalinks in WAMP. Changing to any form other than default gives 404 error.
I have switched on the rewrite_module in Apache. I Googled the problem and found that following changes should be made to httpd.conf file. My httpd.conf file stands as
<Directory />
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
I also checked that the .htaccess file is getting created. It reads as
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /vit%20web/events/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /vit%20web/events/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
All you need to do is turn on the mod_rewrite in the wamp settings tab.
Click Wamp -> Apache -> Apache Modules -> rewrite_module
If you select that then turn on %postname% it should work
Did you reboot Apache after editing httpd.conf?
A bulletproof check for mod_rewrite is to remove the <IfModule>...</IfModule> tags and try running WordPress - if you get a 500 Server Error, mod_rewrite isn't installed.
Also I would recommend changing <Directory /> to <Directory "C:/path/to/server/root"> (note the forward slashes too, even on Windows).
And the deny order should be switched if you're only on a development server;
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
The problem may be:
Whenever you have permalinks in subfolder of your main www folder (i.e.
RewriteBase /subdirectory/
you may need to have a .htaccess file in your main c:\wamp\www folder too.
