htaccess reference problem - apache

I have this htaccess code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /xm/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]*)\.php$ index.php?page=$1
And I want that when the user goes to, for example, main.php, that this htaccess redirects to index.php?page=main, but every time, and with every page, it redirects to index.php?page=index, and page is equal index no matter what. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: works fine with numbers (eg 4.php) but not with letters :/

It's rewriting again on the subrequest. Put [NS] to the right of it so it'll only get rewritten once.

Try this:
RewriteCond $1 !^index$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)\.php$ index.php?page=$1

redirect url already rewritten in htaccess

I have written htaccess
my actual url is
https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form
rewritten as
https://www.example.com/for-brands/partner-with-us
which works fine as I have written rule as
`RewriteRule ^for-brands/partner-with-us$ https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form [NC,L]`
but I want redirection if some user visits direclty https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form
to
https://www.example.com/for-brands/partner-with-us
below is my code redirect but I've tried many ways form other links of stackoverflow still I cant find any solution
rewriterule ^index\.php?route=information\/partnership_form(.*)$ /for-sports-brands/partner-with-us$1 [r=301,nc]
You can not manipulate querystring like that. You need to use a RewriteCond
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=information/partnership_form [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /for-brands/partner-with-us? [NC,L,R]
The ? at the end of the rewrite target is important as it discards the old querystrings.

htaccess check for one place then another after rewrite

After fiddling around with htaccess for hours upon hours I can't seem to get this just right.
What I need to do is when I try and grab an image (say example.jpg) from /images/, it should firstly be redirected to images/e/example.jpg and if it is not found there it should be redirected back to images/example.jpg.
What's strange is I can manage the other way round (i.e check for it in images/example.jpg first then go to images/e/example.jpg)
I would imagine it would be something like this:
#This redirects to images/{first letter}/image.jpg
RewriteRule ^images/([^/])([^/]*)$ /images/$1/$1$2 [L]
#Checks to see if it exists, if not redirect it back to the original request
RewriteCond images/e/example.jpg -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]
Obviously the rewrite condition should be dynamic for the first letter of the file but I don't know how to do that.
Any help is kindly appreciated, thank you.
You can use this rule in your root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/images/$1/$1$2 -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^images/(\w)([^/]+?\.jpe?g)$ /images/$1/$1$2 [L,NC,R=302]

Remove Page Number from URL with .htaccess

I need page numbers from URLs of the form:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=XXXX&page=XXXX&#entryXXXX
so they become
http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=XXXX&#entryXXXX
where XXXX are integers
I've previously tried:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)showtopic=([0-9]+)&page=([0-9]+)(.*) http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=$1$3 [QSA,L,R=301]
but to no avail. So I shortened it to:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)&page=([0-9]+)(.*)$ $1&$3 [QSA,L,R=301]
but still nowt. Is there anything wrong with the regex at all?
You can't match against the query string in a rewrite rule, you need to match against the %{QUERY_STRING} var inside a rewrite condition:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showtopic=([^&]+)&page=([^&]+)(&.*)?$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /index.php?showtopic=%1%3 [L,R=301]
The #entryXXXX part of the URL is a fragment, and the server actually never sees that. It's a client/browser-side only thing. Hopefully, the browser is smart enough to re-append the fragment after getting redirected.

Proper htaccess rewrite

I'm trying to force an old URL to go to the new url and my code seems to have no effect
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^index2\.php?page=shop\.product_details&\.tabs\.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2$
RewriteRule .* /hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [R=301,L]
my old url is
www.mywebsite.com/index2.php?page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2
and my new one is
www.mywebsite.com/hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html
My code does not break anything but does not work either
Thanks in advance
As I understand you want redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) so the URL will change in browser. This will work for this URL ONLY /index2.php?page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^index2\.php$ http://www.mywebsite.com/hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [R=301,L]
If you want internal redirect (rewrite), then use these lines:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^index2\.php$ /hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [L]
PLEASE NOTE:
You need to put these lines in a proper order (order of rules matters) otherwise (if you put it at the end) some another rule will rewrite it to a different URL.
This needs to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder. For any other location you may need to modify it a bit.

Redirecting to same page with .htaccess

From my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
I want users going to url domain.com/showPAGE.php to be redirected to domain.com/page .
When domain.com/page is being entered, I want it to show the content of the file showPAGE.php.
Is that possible to do?
The above results an infinite redirection loop.
Thanks
You're trying to do something that's very tricky. The problem is that, by design, the RedirectRule directive always triggers again the complete set of rules. You can only get out of the loop when you obtain a final URL that does not match any of the rules and that's the tricky part since you are reusing the showPAGE.php name.
My best attempt so far involves adding a fake hidden string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/showPAGE\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^internal
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page$ showPAGE.php?internal [NC,L]
It works but it's not pleasant. Definitively, it's easier to handle the redirection from with PHP or to simply pick another name.
The redirect from showPAGE.php to page needs to have [L] so that it will stop processing and redirect at once, rather than going on and applying other rules (which at once map it back to showPAGE.php). Try this:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
