I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong url.
The url they are indexing is:
http://www.example.com/index.php/section1/section2
I need it to redirect to:
http://www.example.com/section1/section2
.htaccess isn't my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.
The original answer is actually correct, but lacks explanation. I would like to add some explanations and modifications.
I suggest reading this short introduction https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/intro.html (15mins) and reference these 2 pages while reading.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html
This is the basic rule to hide index.php from the URL. Put this in your root .htaccess file.
mod_rewrite must be enabled with PHP and this will work for the PHP version higher than 5.2.6.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L]
Think %{REQUEST_FILENAME} as the the path after host.
E.g. https://www.example.com/index.html, %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is /index.html
So the last 3 lines means, if it's not a regular file !-f and not a directory !-d, then do the RewriteRule.
As for RewriteRule formats:
So RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L] means, if the 2 RewriteCond are satisfied, it (.*) would match everything after the hostname. . matches any single character , .* matches any characters and (.*) makes this a variables can be references with $1, then replace with /index.php/$1. The final effect is to add a preceding index.php to the whole URL path.
E.g. for https://www.example.com/hello, it would produce, https://www.example.com/index.php/hello internally.
Another key problem is that this indeed solve the question. Internally, (I guess) it always need https://www.example.com/index.php/hello, but with rewriting, you could visit the site without index.php, apache adds that for you internally.
Btw, making an extra .htaccess file is not very recommended by the Apache doc.
Rewriting is typically configured in the main server configuration
setting (outside any <Directory> section) or inside <VirtualHost>
containers. This is the easiest way to do rewriting and is recommended
To remove index.php from the URL, and to redirect the visitor to the non-index.php version of the page:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will cleanly redirect /index.php/myblog to simply /myblog.
Using a 301 redirect will preserve Google search engine rankings.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
Assuming the existent url is
http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar
and we want to convert it into
http://example.com/foo/bar
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
#1) redirect the client from "/index.php/foo/bar" to "/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php/(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NE,L,R]
#2)internally map "/foo/bar" to "/index.php/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
In the spep #1 we first match against the request string and capture everything after the /index.php/ and the captured value is saved in %1 var. We then send the browser to a new url.
The #2 processes the request internally. When the browser arrives at /foo/bar , #2rule rewrites the new url to the orignal location.
Steps to remove index.php from url for your wordpress website.
Check you should have mod_rewrite enabled at your server.
To check whether it's enabled or not - Create 1 file phpinfo.php at your root folder with below command.
<?php
phpinfo?();
?>
Now run this file - www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and it will show mod_rewrite at Load modules section.
If not enabled then perform below commands at your terminal.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Make sure your .htaccess is existing in your WordPress root folder, if not create one .htaccess file
Paste this code at your .htaccess file :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Further make permission of .htaccess to 666 so that it become writable and now you can do changes in your wordpress permalinks.
Now go to Settings -> permalinks -> and change to your needed url format.
Remove this code /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and insert this code on Custom Structure: /%postname%/
If still not succeeded then check your hosting, mine was digitalocean server, so I cleared it myself
Edited the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Added this line after DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Restart your apache server
Note: /var/www/html will be your document root
Do the following steps
1. Make sure that the hosting / your pc mod_rewrite module is active. if not active then try to activate in a way, open the httpd.conf file. You can check this in the phpinfo.php to find out.
change this setting :
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to be and restart wamp
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
if above does not work try with this:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
3. Move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php there.
www OR root folder
- index.php
- .htaccess
Some may get a 403 with the method listed above using mod_rewrite. Another solution to rewite index.php out is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Put your installation directory here:
RewriteBase /
# Do not enable rewriting for files or directories that exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have used many codes from the above mentioned sections for removing index.php form the base url. But it was not working from my end. So, you can use this code which I have used and its working properly.
If you really need to remove index.php from the base URL then just put this code in your htaccess.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will work, use the following code in .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
I don't have to many bulky code to give out just a little snippet solved the issue for me.
i have https://example.com/entitlements/index.php rather i want anyone that types it to get error on request event if you type https://example.com/entitlements/index
you will still get error since there's this word "index" is contained there will always be an error thrown back though the content of index.php will still be displayed properly
cletus post on "https://stackoverflow.com/a/1055655/12192635" which
solved it
Edit your .htaccess file with the below
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index.php to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
Not withstanding we have already known that the above code works with already existing codes on stack see where i applied the code above just below the all codes at it end.
# The following will allow you to use URLs such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything
# example.com/anything/
#
# Which will actually serve files such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything.html
# example.com/anything.php
#
# But *only if they exist*, otherwise it will report the usual 404 error.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Remove trailing slashes.
# e.g. example.com/foo/ will redirect to example.com/foo
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=permanent,QSA]
# Redirect to HTML if it exists.
# e.g. example.com/foo will display the contents of example.com/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.html [L,QSA]
# Redirect to PHP if it exists.
# e.g. example.com/foo will display the contents of example.com/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
try this, it work for me
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Enable Rewrite Engine
# ------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect index.php Requests
# ------------------------------
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

</IfModule>
For more detail
create .htaccess file on project root directory and put below code for remove index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index.php|resources|robots.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
i have this Code in my .htaccess file:
#Rewrite everything to https
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ index.php?witz=$1 [L,QSA]
ErrorDocument 404 https://example.com/erorrpage.php
ErrorDocument 403 https://example.com/erorrpage.php
i have one argument like this:
https://example.com/var
Your ErrorDocument is not getting triggered because of the following Rule you have in your htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ index.php?witz=$1 [L,QSA]
The Rule redirects everything that doesn't exist as directory !-d and !-f file to /index.php . Since mod-rewrite Rules are applied before mod-core your ErrorDocument will never get applied.
To solve this,You need to use a mod-rewrite Rule instead of ErrorDocument to Redirect non-existent requests to 404 page. So put the following at the top of your htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ - [R=404,L]
If you want to redirect 404 requests to a specific page ,you can use the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /errorpage.php [R= 404,L]
I will suppose that you use apache.
Ensure that your .htaccess file are on the right directory (like root directory for example) or erorrpage.php is accessible on the https://example.com/
Try to simplify it with ErrorDocument 404 "Custom very simple 404 error", just to see if it works
Ensure that your mod rewrite is enabled (on httpd.conf, uncomment the ;LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so if not. Then restart apache)
Find the relevant directory tag for your www root (on other words, on your apache config of your root directory) and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All
If the problem occured in a web hosting, the ensure that it allow the .htaccess
If all of these does not work, try to check apache official docs
Hi there I'm working with .htaccess to set a couple of rules but my knowledge of .htaccess is rather limited. I've been searching only to find parts of what I need and where unable to make it work.
Currently I use the following rules to force all links to the index.php:
# if requested url does not exist pass it as path info to index.php
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?/ [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
My issue is to combine this with the following rules:
1. Force http -> https
2. force www -> non www
3. Apply the top rules
As an example:
http://wwww.example.com -> https://example.com
I hope this makes sense; I've got quite some issues with the mod rewrite rules.
So thanks in advance ...
This must be added to your vritualhost config
<virtualhost *:80>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)(.+) [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ https://%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This should be added to your virtualhost ssl config
<virtualhost *:443>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?/ [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
This should work.
I am trying to create "pretty urls for dynamically created pages. My desire is to render all pages from the index page.
I am working on my computer using wamp 2.5/apache 2.4.9
The apache httpd.conf is set to:
Listen 0.0.0.0:7080
Listen [::0]:7080
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
ServerName localhost:7080
I have tried several different approaches which have resulted in everything from a blank page returning to a 404 error page. With the code below it returns to the index.php in the /www/ folder in wamp.
This is my non-working .htaccess code:
# Turn Rewrite Engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
# Pages
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?topic=$1
# Rewrite to www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost:7080/demo [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.localhost:7080/demo/$1 [r=301,nc]
The clupret line of code is this I believe:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?topic=$1
which I am thinking is some sort of path issue but am not sure... any assistance would be appreciated.
The URL in the address is: http://localhost:7080/demo/test where demo is the site folder in the wamp/www/
http://localhost:7080/demo/test/ (with the forward slash) returns a 404 error.
Your htaccess is lacking a rewrite base.
Just after: RewriteEngine on
Add RewriteBase /demo/
It is strictly not allowing trailing slashes
Replace this line: RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?topic=$1
withthis code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?username=$1 [N,L]
This will allow urls ending trailing slashes to force back to your redirect url.
Remove this from the last line:
http://www.localhost:7080.
Leave it as just: /demo/$1 [r=301,nc]
The second to the last line is not doing a lot. You can do and I will advice you do away with it.
Please do remember that when leaving the localhost environment for an online host, replace all incidence of "/demo/" with just "/"
Your final htaccess should be someting like this:
# Turn Rewrite Engine
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /demo/
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Pages
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?username=$1 [N,L]
# Rewrite to www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /demo/$1 [r=301,nc]
I hope this helps
Try these rules in /demo/.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /demo/
# Rewrite to www.
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}:7080%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
I'm getting 404 errors when accessing via:
http://www1.example.me/z/account/login
Although these work fine:
http://www1.example.me/z/index.php/account/login
http://www1.example.me/z/
.htaccess - got it from this website:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

UPDATE:
Getting this in error_log:
[Wed Dec 28 17:54:30 2011] [notice] cannot use a full URL in a 401 ErrorDocument directive --- ignoring!
Never mind, fixed it.
Should have been:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ z/index.php/$1 [L]
instead of
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
because the code is inside of z folder. Thanks for visiting. :)
Whilst you have 'solved' your problem in your question, your implementation is actually incorrect.
To correctly implement this you should change the RewriteBase directive rather than pointing your rules specifically at a folder.
In your case
RewriteBase /z/
On a side note, rather than amending your question to say you've fixed it, you should post an answer to the same effect. This prevents the question appearing in unanswered feeds etc.
first you go to config file....
then set $config['index_page'] = ' ';
then create one file with .htacess extension and write below code in that and save in root directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
Yes, you can easily remove the index.php from url from .htaccess, please check this url for more detail.
