I am using .htaccess code to turn blog.php into /blog/ with this code:
# --- CUTENEWS[ST]
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog(\d+)*$ ./blog.php
RewriteRule ^blog/(\d+)*$ ./blog.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blogengine/show_news.php?cn_rewrite_url=$1 [L]
# --- CUTENEWS[ED]
This works fine, except when I load the web page with /blog/, the images break. If I load the web page with /blog.php or /blog, the images load fine.
I have been searching through all the .htaccess issues people have had on Stackoverflow, and this is as far as I have come to getting things working. The cutenews php is there because I am using cutenews for blog integration in my site.
I appreciate any suggestions. I am pretty new to .htaccess
This is because your relative URIs have their base changed. Originally, the base is / when the page is /blog.php, and the browser properly fills in relative links with the / base. But when the browser goes to a page like /blog/ the base suddenly becomes /blog/ and it tries to append that in front of all relative URLs and thus none of them load.
You can either make your links absolute, or change the URI base in the header of your pages (inbetween the <head> </head> tags):
<base href="/">
You are not accounting for trailing slash. This RewriteRule ^blog(\d+)$* will not match /blog/ .Try this instead:
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+[^/])*$ /blog.php/$1
EDIT:
As we discussed in chat you needed something else, here it is:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ /blog.php?route=$1 [R=301,L]
This will catch URLS like: /blog, /blog/, /blog/anythig_goes_here/2343/ . Adding 301 Permanent Redirect header, and L meaning don't process other rules.
in your blog.php you can reach 'route' paremeter via:
echo $_GET['route'];
EDIT:
After discussing further, the issue was solved by removing "/" from the begining of the redirect url, so now that rewrite rule line looks like:
RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ blogposts.php?route=$1 [L]
For images, absolute urls need to be used, starting with "/" pointing to your web root.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /games4u/
RewriteRule ^index/?$ index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ forum.php?user=$1
RewriteRule ^forum/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ forum.php?user=$1
So what I want is the url to be: localhost/forum/1
1 = user id 1. But the design wont load because of this. It's like the CSS file gets removed or something. Why doesn't thios work?
When you add extra / slashes in the URL, that changes what the relative URL base becomes. The browser doesn't know that /games4u/ is the base for relative URL's generated by the forum.php code. Now that you've added another level of folders, /games4u/forum/username, the browser attempts to resolve relative URLs by adding the base: /games4u/forum/ to all the links. You need to specify your base in the page headers or make all your links absolute (starts with /games4u/):
<base href="/games4u/" />
The RewriteBase directive has nothing to do with the relative URL base on the browser. The browser doesn't even know you're using rewrite rules. The RewriteBase directive is only for relative paths in your RewriteRules.
You need to set conditions for your re-writing, to ignore folders and files:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /games4u/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index/?$ index.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ forum.php?user=$1
RewriteRule ^forum/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ forum.php?user=$1
Also, it's recommended that you will use the full path for your css / js files, such as:
<script src="http://www.example.com/js/file.js"></script>
Here is my problem
in my website base url am redirecting to an inside folder
eg: http://example.com/
to
http://onlinevyapari.com/business/ by using this code in .htaccess file
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /business/index.php [L]
now I want to use search engine friendly url for the same website my query is like this
http://example.com/business-details.php?id=106
but I want to keep my url like this
http://example.com/business-details/106
I have done in different way like bellow
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule business-details/id/(.*)/ business-details.php?id=$1
RewriteRule business-details/id/(.*) business-details.php?id=$1
its happening but css is not loading properly
it will be really appreciable to me if somebody help.
thank you
Have your rule like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ business/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^business-details/(\d+)/?$ business-details.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
For solving css/js/image path issues just use absolute path in your css, js, images files rather than a relative one. Which means you have to make sure path of these files start either with http:// or a slash /.
Alternatively you can try adding this in your page's HTML header: <base href="/" /> so that every relative URL is resolved from that URL and not the current URL.
You need to add the following, before your rules, to make the rewrite rules ignore file and directory names.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
I am having some trouble with Htaccess and RewriteRule.
Basically:
I have a directory called /_dev/WEBDEV and want people to access it from /WEBDEV on the server.
(http://domain.com/WEBDEV will point to http://domain.com/_dev/WEBDEV)
Here is the htaccess code I have used
RewriteRule ^WEBDEV(|/)$ /_dev/WEBDEV/
RewriteRule ^example(|/)$ /_dev/example/
So when i go to http://domain.com/WEBDEV, the page shows, but there is no CSS styling or images.
What i mean:
<img src="img/shape3.png">
the url on the server would be /_dev/WEBDEV/img/shape3.png
but with the Htaccess it gives
http://domain.com/img/shape3.png
as the image (and throws a 404).
Plus, i have a file on my server /_dev/WEBDEV/app1.php and with the htaccess it gives a 404 not found.
First, define your RewriteBase correctly
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Your rewrite rule should not be triggered if the requested url matches a file or directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
And you'll need to add the rule's REGEXP match to the rewritten path
But first, rewrite the path to the WEBDEV directory so it always have a slash after it
RewriteRule ^WEBDEV$ WEBDEV/ [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^WEBDEV(.*)$ /_dev/WEBDEV$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^example(.*)$ /_dev/example$1 [L,QSA]
This is quite like creating aliases, but it can be done in .htaccess
For external resources like css and html, you just have to change their paths to
<img src="/img/shape3.png">
for example. This way the absolute path is calculated from the domain name (or base path), resulting in yourdomain.ext/img/shape3.png which should work.
Hi I am using the following lines in my .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /coaster/CoasterInsider/
RewriteRule signup$ index.php?page=signup [L,NC]
RewriteRule login$ index.php?page=loginHandle [L,NC]
RewriteRule u/(.*)$ index.php?page=profile&username=$1 [L,NC]
The path is getting redirected properly, but the css,flash and images are not loading. Also if I use the following '/' after any url say,
RewriteRule signup(/?)$ index.php?page=signup [L,NC]
It's not finding any page there, i.e. error 404. I just want my htaccess file to work for both /signup and /signup/
When browser displays:
http://example.com/coaster/CoasterInsider/signup
http://example.com/coaster/CoasterInsider/signup/
and encounters a relative URL such as:
<img src="site/images/photo.png">
It translates the relative URL to (respectively):
http://example.com/coaster/CoasterInsider/site/images/photo.png
http://example.com/coaster/CoasterInsider/signup/site/images/photo.png
You should use absolute URLs for assets. Make this a habit:
<img src="/site/images/photo.png">
Alternately you can use the HTML base tag in your pages which tells browsers how to treat relative URLs. Personally I do not recommend it.
This was advised to, and worked for me, place it inside the <head> tags in your html: <base href="/"> Again, it worked for me, I hope it helps someone else.
Use
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
to exclude real files and directories from being rewritten.
You could also add
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
to do the same for symlinks.
I'm using the following setting for url rewriting:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
In index.php is parse $_GET['url'] so that in the following examples:
ROOT/user/id/1/name/bobby // user is the page, id = 1, name = bobby
ROOT/blog/post/123/title/welcome // blog is the page, post = 123, title = welcome
So that the first parameter(? i don't know how to call it) is the page name then the following couple of parameters are like "keys/value".
Now when i browse ROOT/ the link to stylesheets that are inserted inside the html of the page and the page are shown correctly.
I fi browse ROOT/index (which is the same as ROOT/) it shows the page (with contents and other stuff) correctly but the links (even if in the html structure are correctly written) to stylesheets are not loaded. And i can see that from the fact that my page has no css at all when i load it.
How can I fix this?
EDIT
The css file's path is as follows:
project/view/css/common.css
The file where is it included is in
project/public/index.php // the one with .htaccess and rewrite rules
This brings me to make a link (inside the index.php) such as
../view/css/common.css
But this works different depending on how the url seems. For examples:
# For URL = public/
project/view/css/common.css // good
# For URL = public/index/
project/public/view/css/common.css // broken
# For URL = public/index/key/value
project/public/index/key/view/css/common.css // broken
Comment doesn't let me format the code, can you please try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*\.(css|jpe?g|gif|png|js|ico)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
Update
You can try something like this in the <head> section of your pages to support relative path for your image/css/js files referenced on that page:
<head>
<base href="http://www.example.com/static-files/" />
</head>
I think you have two problems (as the given answers didn´t solve your problem yet...):
You are rewriting all file-names so when the browser is requesting css/index.css your rewrite transforms that to index.php?url=css/index.css. #cOle2's answer should solve that.
You are not using absolute paths for your css files. The server is translating the requested page like /user/id/1/name/bobby to /index.php?etc.... but when the browser requests for example the css file that is something like css/index.css in your code, it will actually request /user/id/1/name/bobby/css/index.css and that file does not exist. You can solve that by using only absolute paths to your external files (css, js, images, etc.) like /css/index.css.
Edit: Based on your comments, both your paths are relative and your css is not accessible by the browser, so you need to:
Move the css to the project/public directory (like project/public/css)
Use absolute paths to your css like /css/index.css.
Make sure the urls to your external files are not rewritten by the server.
You can try removing certain file extensions from the rewrite rule, for example the following rule will disregard images, css and js files.
# Do not process images or CSS files further
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png|js|ico)$ - [L]
Edit: This is how I would apply it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \.(css|jpe?g|gif|png|js|ico)$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
