Apache .htaccess file redirect - apache

Should be easy for someone.
My files are in this directory: /user/home/peter/mygame/production/
I am required to access my site using: www.foo.com/peter (which brings me to /user/home/peter/)
How do I tell apache:
www.foo.com/peter reads from /user/home/peter/mygame/production/
Thanks.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /peter
# To avoid the infinite loop.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/peter/mygame/production/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mygame/production/$1 [L]
(Assuming this is going into "/user/home/peter/.htaccess".)

.htaccess rule for redirecting to parent

I am trying to redirect one of my urls to the parent folder using .htaccess file. I have tried the following rule
RewriteRule ^test/(.+)$ /test/ [L,R=301]
found from htaccess wildcard redirect to parent folder but it is not working (logs show too many redirects).
I also tried the other rules below but none of them worked
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/test/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /test/ [END,NC]
or
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^test/(.+)$ /test/ [L,R=301]
The OS is ubuntu server. Any help or pointers is appreciated. Please let me know if I can furnish any other details to debug. Thanks
Following should work considering the parent directory is test
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(test/).* /$1 [R=301,L]
Add this to disable MultiViews:
Options -MultiViews
The Apache docs on mod_negotiation, describes what the Multiviews Option does, when enabled:
If the
server receives a request for /some/dir/foo and /some/dir/foo does not
exist, then the server reads the directory looking for all files named
foo.*, and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those
files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it
would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then
chooses the best match to the client's requirements, and returns that
document.
Use:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test/(.+)$ /test/ [NC,L,R=301]
In your specific folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^rootFName(.*) /rFile.php [QSA,R=301,L]

htaccess rewriterule to send a file to another file in the same directory

I have a directory that contains an index.php and an index.html file, both being published from a CMS. There's a specific IP address that will attempt to access index.html, but should instead be shown index.php in the same directory. All other traffic should act as normal.
I've been working with some variations of this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^123\.456\.789\.10
RewriteRule ^index\.(htm|html?)$ index.php [NC,R=301,L]
This does do the redirect, but of course it goes to the root of the site rather than staying in the same directory. It's somewhat unclear what the directory path will be in all cases, so I'd like to tell Apache to stay in the same directory it's in.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Jonathan
If you want to have this rule for IP: 123.456.789.10 then you shouldn't have this IP with
negation like: RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !
Try this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdir/
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^123\.456\.789\.10$
RewriteRule ^index\.html?$ index.php [NC,R=302,L]

.htaccess being overpowered by file structure in apache2

I have a .htaccess file and am using mod rewrite to redirect /tags to /tags/. When the directory contains a file called tags.php, it doesn't work, but when I remove that file it does. What setting do I need to change to make the .htaccess file overpower the file structure? I'm running Apache2 on Ubuntu 11.10 with PHP.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^tags/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.\ ]+)$ tags/$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^tags/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.\ ]+)/([0-9]*)?$ tag.php?tag=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^tags$ tags/ [R]
RewriteRule ^tags/$ tags.php
Try adding an L to your tags rule to stop further processing i.e.
RewriteRule ^tags$ tags/ [R,L]
Your rules are in the wrong order, and you've forgotten the [L] to stop processing the rewrite rules. Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^tags$ tags/ [R, L]
RewriteRule ^tags/$ tags.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^tags/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.\ ]+)$ tags/$1/ [R,L]
RewriteRule ^tags/([a-zA-Z0-9-_.\ ]+)/([0-9]*)?$ tag.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L]
Disable Multiviews in the server configuration.

URL Rewriting using .htaccess

To change the URL /mobiles.php?id=5 to /mobiles/5
The content of .htaccess file is as follows:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /mobiles/$1 ^/mobiles.php?id=([0-9]+)$
But still it is showing /mobiles.php?id=5 in the address bar. Please help. Is there anything else needs to be added in the .htaccess file?
Note:
mod_rewrite module is enabled
I have restarted Apache server after making changes to the .htaccess
file
.htaccess file is in htdocs folder of Apache.
I am using Windows + PHP + Apache + MySQL
This works for me:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^mobiles/([0-9]+)$ mobiles.php?id=$1&rew [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^mobiles.php$ /mobiles/%1? [R,L]
If you see this line:
RewriteRule ^mobiles/([0-9]+)$ mobiles.php?id=$1&rew [L]
I have added rew variable in the query string to prevent Apache to fall in an infinite loop
When Apache execute this line:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
Is to make sure that url has not been rewritten for Apache
If your only concern is that the old url stays in the address bar, and you want this not to happen, try adding an [R] at the end.
RewriteRule ^/mobiles.php?id=([0-9]+)$ /mobiles/$1 [R]
Did you actually see the correct page?
By the way, the rewrite rules generally go the other way. I would be expecting to see something like:
RewriteRule ^/mobiles/([0-9]+)$ /mobiles.php?id=$1
Is your concern one of making sure a URL with query parameters does not show up in the address bar?
If I understand correctly, you want
Internally redirect /mobiles/5 to /mobiles.php?id=5
Also redirect the browser TO /mobiles/5 if a user navigates to /mobiles.php?id=5
For this you need 2 rules one to internally rewrite the URL for 1st case and 2nd for browser redirection.
You can do it like this:
RewriteEngine on
# for internal rewrite
RewriteRule ^/?mobiles/([0-9]+)/?$ /mobiles.php?id=$1 [L]
# for browser redirect
RewriteRule ^/?mobiles\.php\?id=([0-9]+)$ /mobiles/$1/ [R,L]
You are doing the opposite, should be:
RewriteRule ^/something/mobiles/([0-9]+)$ /something/mobiles.php?id=$1

Use symfony 1.4 without changing apache configuration

Is it possible to set the /web directory as webroot without changing apache configuration file?
I tried using the following .htaccess code, but if i go to localhost/module/, it displays 404 error. But if i go to localhost/web/module/ then everything works.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule sf/(.*) lib/vendor/symfony/data/web/sf/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ web/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) web/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
i do like this on the root :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) ./web/$1 [L]
And edit web/.htaccess uncommented the 'RewriteBase /' line.
this make all the mysite.com/aaaa/bbbb works like mysite.com/web/aaaa/bbbb
Short answer: no.
Bit longer: you will have to edit the apache config at least to give it permission to access the web/ directory, so even if you symlink your web folder to /var/www, it will not work.
This is quiet similar to my question Symfony on virtual host (document root problem).
This is my .htaccess in the project root directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/images/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/js/ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/css/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/index.php [QSA,L]
This solved my problem but symfony tries to generate every url (eg. using url_for) from the document root so instead of url like domain.com/my-article it generates domain.com/web/my-article.
I had to slightly modify my PatternRouting class to trim the /web prefix from each url. I think this is not the best solution but it works.
Also if I want to access backend application I have to call always /web/backend.php/ because I don't want to have so many rewrite rules in the .htaccess.
If you want to see my extended PatternRouting class source code I'll paste it here.
Yes, it is possible. Copy everything from web/ up a level to your document root. Edit index.php to reflect the fact that everything it includes is now one level closer to its current directory than it used to be (one less ../). You won't have to edit a single other Symfony file.
