I am trying to rewrite
http://example.com/category/this-is-my-category
to...
http://example.com/category.php?id=this-is-my-category
My .htaccess file is below:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^category/(\d+)/([\w-]+)$ /category.php?id=$1 [L]
This gives a 404 error
http://example.com/category.php exists on the server
I have also tried
RewriteRule ^category/(\d+)/([\w-]+)$ ./category.php?id=$1 [L]
and
RewriteRule ^/category/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ /category.php?id=$1
I have read some articles on this and can't see an issue with the code in the .htaccess file.
Right, so your first regex...
^category/(\d+)/([\w-]+)$
requires a number between category and the last part, eg /category/1234/something-else.
Your second regex...
^/category/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$
has an incorrect leading slash (rewrite rules start at the rewrite-base) and requires only letters and numbers after category, eg /category/thisIsMyCategory.
The URL you're testing has letters and hyphens.
To me, it looks like you want
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/([\w-]+)$ /category.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

Some notes...
It's rare to ever need RewriteBase, especially if your .htaccess file is in the root directory so I've removed it
I've added the QSA flag so any query parameters are preserved. For example
/category/this-is-my-category?foo=bar
becomes
/category.php?id=this-is-my-category&foo=bar

I have many urls such as:
mydomain.com/location/illinois/
mydomain.com/location/wisconsin/green-bay/
mydomain.com/location/new-york/
I have removed the word location and replaced it with:
/blog/category/
so those urls should now be:
mydomain.com/blog/category/illinois/
mydomain.com/blog/category/wisconsin/green-bay/
mydomain.com/blog/category/new-york/
I am trying to get this done with one rewrite rule. But the one I created is not working. Can you tell me what is wrong with it?
Here is what I tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/location(/.*|)$ /blog/category/$1 [L,NC,R=301]
Nice try, you just need to drop the opening slash which is not included in .htaccess matches:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^location(/.*|)$ /blog/category$1 [L,NC,R=301]
No need for the RewriteBase either. And you had doubled up the slash before the category which you're already capturing.
I have directory my-site.com/m/ and it contain so many sub-folder so i want internal redirect for sub-folder to my-site.com/m/req="rest-path-of-directory"
ex
my-site.com/m/article/pc to my-site.com/m/?req=article/pc
For this I use the code below but something is wrong, it is not working for me.
My .htaccess file is :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/m/([A-Za-z0-9\/]*)/?$ http://www.localhost/m/index.php?req=$1 [L]
Try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/m/([A-Za-z0-9\/]*)$ http://www.localhost/m/index.php?req=$1 [L]
I think the /? outside your capture group brackets is never being matched, as all the / characters are being captured inside your ([A-Za-z0-9\/]*) expression.
For internal redirection you need to remove the hostname and scheme from the Rewrite target
Try :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^m/([A-Za-z0-9\/]*)/?$ /m/index.php?req=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
On my website I am trying to rewrite a long URL to a SEO friendly one.
I've got the following code, but it doesnt seem to affect anything! However if I type dgadgdfsg into my htaccess, it throws an internal server error. So I am presuming it is something with Rewrite Rule.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
I have confirmed that mod_rewrite is on.
This is the current URL
http://mysite.com/missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=1&firstName=Liam&lastName=Gallagher
and this is what I want it too appear like
http://mysite.com/1/Liam/Gallagher
Change your RewriteRule to this (slightly modified from your version)
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [QSA,L]
If that doesn't work try putting a R flag for testing purpose (which will make your browser change the original URI to: /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=1&firstName=Liam&lastName=Gallagher
Presuming your userID is comprised only of digits and firstName and lastName are only alphanumeric.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /(\d+)/(\w+)/(\w+)/ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
A more strict version that does the same thing except it sets boundaries for the beginning and the end of the evaluated regex.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /^(\d+)\/(\w+)\/(\w+)$/ /missing-people/user-profile.php?userID=$1&firstName=$2&lastName=$3 [L]
I'm having issues with apaches mod_rewrite. I'm wanting to make clean urls with my php application but it doesn't seem to give the results i'm expecting.
I'm using this code in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^project/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})$ /project/index.php?q=$1&r=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^project/([0-9]{4})$ /project/index.php?q=$1 [L]
To make it so when I view, http://localhost/user/project/system, it would be the equivelant of viewing http://localhost/user/project/index.php?q=system
Instead of getting any results I just get a typical 404 error.
I've also just checked to see if mod_rewrite works by replace my .htaccess code with this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.stackoverflow.com
And it properly redirects me here, so mod_rewrite is definitely working.
The root path to my project is /home/user/public_html/project
The the url used to view my project is http://localhost/user/project
If anymore information is required let me know.
Thanks
If your .htaccess file is indeed located in the project/ subdirectory already, then don't mention it in the RewriteRule again. Remove it:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})$ /project/index.php?q=$1&r=$2 [L]
# no "project/" here
Rules always pertain to the current local filename mapping.
Else experiment with a RewriteBase.
You have [0-9]{4} in your regex which will only match numbers of 4 digits. "system", however, is not a number of 4 digits, and therefore does not match.
You can use something like [^/]+ instead.
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/([0-9]{2})$ /index.php?q=$1&r=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)$ /index.php?q=$1 [L]
Don't know if the second parameter should be a number with 2 digits or not.
Edit: I also added "user" at the beginning now.
Edit2: Okay, I thought you were in the root htdocs with your htaccess. So remove "project" and "user" if you are in "project" with the .htaccess.
You probably mean
RewriteRule ^/project/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})$ /project/index.php?q=$1&r=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/project/([0-9]{4})$ /project/index.php?q=$1 [L]
The '^project' means "start of line is 'project'" but the start is a '/project', so you need to include the starting slash (i.e. '^/project...').
Sorry, missed the system bit (and the user bit). Was concentrating on the slash.
RewriteRule ^/user/project/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)$ /user/project/index.php?q=$1&r=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^/user/project/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)$ /user/project/index.php?q=$1 [L]
Should have you right.
I am trying to learn url rewriting.
My code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /index.php
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)$ /index.php?page=$1
When I try it like this: localhost/mysite it shows home page. But when I try something like this: localhost/mysite/abcdefg, it would show a 404 error.
EDIT
What I want to do is:
If only original domain is given, it should goto home page. Eg: www.mysite.com --> www.mysite.com/index.php. Otherwise, if www.mysite.com/contactus --> www.mysite.com/index.php?page=contactus
EDIT
I am using WAMP server in Windows XP.
That's because the first rule would catch the second request. Now, that I took a closer look at the regex, no it would not catch the request. However, your second request would fail. Also, as a rule of thumb the more specialized a rewrite is the higher it should be placed.
You don't need to rewrite all the requests to index, but if you know what you are doing, then re-order the rewrites.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/$ index.php [L]
Edit 1: Taking into account that you are working on a localhost, this would work for you.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mysite/
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ mysite/index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^$ mysite/index.php [L]
When you go live, just remove the mysite/ part.
Note: You don't need this rule RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L] the server will automatically load index.php if you visit localhost/mysite. That is the expected behavior if your server is configured to load a default page, the file index.php, on httpd.conf configuration file.
Edit 2: I see your edit, but you can't test that rewrite in the current URL structure you have in the localhost. You should try and setup virtual hosts to test in an environment that resembles your production as much as possible. Search on Google for how to create virtual hosts for your WAMP, XAMPP, or any other stack you are using.
Then the rewrite rules are simple
RewriteEngine on
# page-url -> index.php?page=page-url
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
/localhost/mysite/abcdefg will not match the rule you expect it to match because the path (/mysite/abcdefg) contains a / in the middle that is not matched by your regular expression. So the web server looks for the file, can't find it, and returns a 404.
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]+)$ /index.php?page=$1
will match any string beginning with/ followed by any number of characters a-z. / is not in that range, that is why it fails on /mysite/abcdefg.
#trott and #anders_lindahl are right:
Your first only matches localhost/ aka the root of the site.
The second rule will match anything that has lowercase letters (and just that!) after the first slash, so localhost/thisisavalidstring.
You have put a / in there, so it will not match. use something like:
RewriteRule ^/([a-z\/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1
(haven't tried it, but I assume it will work. I'm not too sure about the need to escape inside the [])
You probably meant to use
RewriteRule ^/([a-z/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1
or
RewriteRule ^/([a-z/]*/)?([a-z]+)$ /index.php?page=$2
