I doubt even it is possible or not. I have a strange requirement by client so have to do.
I have a website that allow certain ips(ips are hard coded in .htaccess ). Client has provided me a url that have some ips listed in json format. I want that these ips should be allowed to access the website. (Ips listed on url are dynamic so i can't use them in .htaccess). Do anyone have idea how to achieve this.
I know i can use a php file(index) in htaccess and write code in it to read ips but the priority is to get it done by .htaccess file only.
Thanks in advance.
Need little bit help.
I have created rewriteMap in httpd file.
RewriteMap accessmap "txt:E:\htdocs\myfolder\map.txt"
My map.txt have follwing entries.
127.0.0.11 allow
127.0.0.1 allow
127.0.0.12 deny
These entries i am adding in htacces file
RewriteCond ${accessmap:%{REMOTE_ADDR}} allow [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.exampleweb.com/$1 [L,R=302]
Now, for example i have 127.0.0.1 in my map file as allow so it should be allowed to access the site. If i want to access site form any other ip like
130.0.0.11 (not in map file) it should be redirect to this link https://www.exampleweb.com .
I do not have much knowledge about htaccess to can't understand how to write
rewriteRule and rewrite condition for this. Please help.
Note: Ips are just for example, actual ips will be different for these.
Create a RewriteMap. Add below code in Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) or in your virtual host file.
RewriteMap accessmap "txt:file/path/to/map.txt"
NOTE: RewriteMap directive cannot be added in .htaccess file or inside Directory section. [Source: Using rewrite map]
Then in your .htaccess file add below code
RewriteCond ${accessmap:%{REMOTE_ADDR}} !^allow
RewriteRule ^(.)$ - [F,L]*
This will allow IP addresses listed in map.txt file having value allow to access your site. Otherwise, users will see 403 forbidden error.
.htaccess files are constantly read by Apache HTTPD server. You can be changing the specific Authorization directives in it according to your needs by a script or something else and the new auth directives will be applied instantly.

I store data in text file.
And when user enter in address bar something like
my_syte.com/aaa - (without extension)- I need to file_get_contents aaa.txt file
my_syte.com/bbb - I need to file_get_contents bbb.txt file
Please advise the most powerful way of do it. Apache server.
Thanks
On Apache servers you can use mod-rewrite in .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)$ /$1.txt [L]
if your files can contain - or _ or numbers then use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /$1.txt [L]
On nginx servers it's more complicated but some of them works with .htaccess. On other servers there may be entirely different approach. It's hard to help you without more informations.
As you said it's Apache, then use examples above. Either edit or create .htaccess file on your webroot (directory which is accessed by domain). First check if it were there (could be hidden) and if it exists then only edit it (add lines at the top).
If it doesn't exist, then create one by yourself.
Can you please give us some insights about your server? Apache nginx?
In Apache, you can achieve that with url rewriting.
Enable mod_rewrite in apache
Put the following line of code in .htaccess on the same location of my_site.com/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/foo$ /foo.txt [PT]
to make it generic
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/*$ /foo.txt [PT]
Maybe I am wrong in sytax based on your specific server configuration. You need to make the best possible regular expression for this case.
Under my root web directory, I have this two files:
aboutus.php
about-us.php
Now going to this URL http://local.com/about-us.php will render the file about-us.php. If I will do the inverse, how can I dictate the .htaccess that whenever the URL above is access, the aboutus.php will be rendered?
If you have access to the whole server config, the most efficient way to do this is to use mod_alias. Unfortunately this needs to be done in VirtualHost config - which is only accessible if you got root access to that server.
Alias /about-us.php /full/local/path/to/aboutus.php
If you cannot edit the VirtualHost config, use mod_rewrite (needs more server resources though, as every request has to be matched to those rules):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about-us.php aboutus.php [L]
Should do the trick.
I'm working on a solution to a problem where users could potentially access images (in this case PDF files) stored in a folder off the server root. Normally, my application validates users through PHP scripts and sessions. What isn't happening right now is preventing non-logged in users from potentially accessing the PDFs.
The solution I'm looking for would (I think) need to be tied in with Apache. I saw an interesting solution using RewriteMap & RewriteRule, however the example involved putting this in an .htaccess file in the PDF directory. Can't do that with Apache (error: RewriteMap not allowed here). I believe the rewrite directives need to go in my httpd.conf, which I have access to.
So the example I found (that resulted in 'rewritemap not allowed here') is here:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap auth prg:auth.php
RewriteRule (.*) ${auth:$1}
auth.php just checks PHP session and redirects to a login script if needed.
I'm reading that I have to place this in my httpd.conf. How would I specify that the RewriteMap should only occur on a specific directory (including subdirectories)?
1st, be sure that you have to put that directly in httpd.conf. On Debian system, for instance, you have 1 file by virtualhost (a virtualhost usually is a website)
So, you have to put your rewriteMap in a "directory" like this:
<Directory /full/path/to/your/pdfs>
RewriteEngine on
...
</Directory>
I have a website that is working properly.I dont know when I do "Domain-name.com/images" It shows me all the images in the images folder present at my site.I dont know why is this.may be this is due to the Directory permissions?But I want to ask know the actual reason behind it
Help will be appreciated.
Note:I am tagging Php and Html because these people might faced this thing while creating website.
This is because there is no index file in the folder, and Apache (assuming Apache) is set to do directory indexes.
Either create an empty index.html or add the following in either apache2.conf (or httpd.conf) or in a htaccess file:
Options -Indexes
You can restrict the folders using .htaccess.
Create .htaccess file in you website root folder and add the following code in it.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(css|js|images)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
This is a problem with the configuration of your web server which allows directory listing for your image folder. E.g. on Apache, the most common server software, you would switch it off in the httpd.conf with the directive Options -Indexes in a directory section.
To answer your question: yes. If it's a web accessible directory meaning it resides in the typical webroot folder such as public_html, www, etc and the permissions on the folder are open then anyone can see the contents.
i need in naming like this:
site.com/about
site.com/contacts
Could i do it without .htaccess?
If you want a very simple implementation then you could structure your folders to allow you to do something like:
site.com/about/ - which will go to /about/index.php
site.com/contacts/ - which will go to /contacts/index.php
But obviously there's no room for any dynamic URLs, for that you would need a .htaccess implementation. They're very simple to do.
If you mean "Can I configure my webserver to parse /about and /contacts as PHP without using an .htaccess file", then no. Without further configuration (i.e. a local htaccess, or the global configuration files), Apache will not pass them through the PHP handler. You also won't be able to setup these URLs are redirects (internal or otherwise) without configuration (again via htaccess).
You could do it without a .htaccess file if you had access to the apache config files that define your site. However, if you can't use .htaccess files, you likely don't have access to the apache configs either. Might be wroth asking your host / sysadmin.
You might also be able to do it through the 404 handler if your host lets you have access to that.
that is rewriting
google search
similar to:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^about /menu/about.html
Rewriterule ^contacts /menu/contacts.html
