This is the case:
You can request a demo for a specific product online. That's what we will do:
We will create a subdomain on our server and clone + install the code of our online product. A cron runs every day and when your subdomain exists 14 days we want to place an index.html in the subdomain with some info on it.
Now the problem is that the index.html doesn't do anything. In our .htaccess we have the following:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
As you can see we have a RewriteRule to index.php otherways the code doesn't work. How can I make sure that the index.html is loaded.
Also another problem is that when you're logged in you're automatically go to /admin, so if there's no admin folder he will give an error.
How can I make this work?
Try putting DirectoryIndex index.html into your .htaccess.
See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dir.html#directoryindex

I am trying to get a landing page to work while I am doing scheduled updates on my site.
So basically all my original files will still exist in the directory including my index.php file but I've added another index1.html, so whenever I do an update I just want to be able to un-comment a line in my .htaccess file and everything will redirect to the landing page.
In my .htaccess file I have:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index1.html?path=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
This works for me in so far as any file or sub-directory I go to like example.com/whatever will redirect but example.com will still go to the original index.php which is what I want to be updating.
This line did exactly what I wanted:
DirectoryIndex index1.html
https://example.com/app1
This is my subdirectory and it has one index.html file running on apache server.
I need to redirect all the requests to this directory like https://example.com/app1/* to https://example.com/app1 without changing the URL.
If user access to https://example.com/app1/test it should be redirected to https://example.com/app1 but URL should remain same as
https://example.com/app1/test
You can use this rule in your public_html/. htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^app1/((?!index\.html).+)$ /app1/ [NC,L]
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)$ index.php [nc,qsa]
This one worked for me.
Thanks to all.
I have a question about using multiple .htaccess files - I couldn't find the answer to this after looking elsewhere on stackoverflow, so I hope you guys can help.
I currently have one .htaccess file in the root of my site, which performs a simple url rewrite:
Options -MultiViews
# CheckSpelling off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
I'm currently working on the second phase of development of this site, and I've made a replica in a subfolder (e.g. www.abcdef.com/new/). The trouble is, at the moment if I click a link on this replica site, it redirects me to the root, original page, whereas I want it to go to the equivalent page in the new/ folder. I've put another .htaccess file in this new/ folder, which however doesn't have any noticeable effect:
Options -MultiViews
# CheckSpelling off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /new/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /new/index.php?url=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
So my question is: is it permissible to have another .htaccess file in a subfolder like this? And if so, why aren't the above lines working?
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this!
It's possible to have multiple .htaccess files, and the system is designed to work the way you want it to.
You're setting RewriteBase, which explicitly sets the base URL-path (not filesystem directory path!) for per-directory rewrites.
So it seems like your requests would be rewritten to /new/new/index.php, a path and directory which probably doesn't exist on your filesystem (thus not meeting your RewriteConds) and such is being redirected to your /index.php 404.
As a test, perhaps try changing the ErrorDocument to:
ErrorDocument 404 /new/index.php
If you see rewritten calls go to this then it might indeed be your RewriteBase.
You say
The trouble is, at the moment if I click a link on this replica site,
it redirects me to the root, original page, whereas I want it to go to
the equivalent page in the new/ folder.
Could it be that you are using absolute links in your pages and not relative ones? For instance if a link looks like "/sample", when in your main site it will link to http://.../sample and the same is true if the link is inside a page under "/new/". If you'd use just "sample" then that would resolve as http://..../sample or http://...../new/sample, depending on the URL of the page.
Having a second htaccess file in a subdirectory shouldn't be an issue, and as far as I can tell, your two look okay.
Are you sure the links in the site are correct? (ex, they are /new/foo, not just /foo)?
I have a website, say http://mysite.com. I would like to put index.php in a subdirectory, public_html/mysubdir/index.php. I would like public_html/mysubdir/index.php to get executed when the user goes to http://mysite.com. And I would like the url to continue to read http://mysite.com. Is this possible?
If your webserver is Apache you could use URL rewriting with mod_rewrite.
Another option is to create an index.php in the root directory and include index.php in the sub directory.
Rewrite rules may be overkill for this depending on what you want. For just your main index page, this will work...
Simply adding this one line to your .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex mysubdir/index.php
It will display the page located at mysubdir/index.php while simply showing http://mysite.com in the URL.
I use this method myself. While all of my pages are located in the same subdirectory, the home page is displayed with my domain name by itself (http://www.mysite.com). All other pages show the full URL.
If you also have index pages within deeper subdirectories and want those to come up by default within the subdirectory.
Example:
If you want this page: http://mysite.com/mysubdir/anothersub/index.php
to come up with this URL: http://mysite.com/mysubdir/anothersub/
Then modify the line with another index.php like this...
DirectoryIndex mysubdir/index.php index.php
What this does is tell the server to look for files with those names in that same order. If it can't find the first, it tries the second, and so on.
When you're inside your root at / it finds and then displays mysubdir/index.php.
When you're inside another subdirectory like /mysubdir/anothersub/, it can't find anything named mysubdir/index.php so it goes to the next item and displays index.php
You could use a .htaccess file and define Rewrite rules.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled and then place .htaccess file in your root directory with something like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ your_subdir/index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
In development mode my symfony admin/backend app can be accessed at http://localhost/backend_dev.php. For production mode, I created a controller php file, admin.php, so now in production the admin application can be accessed at http://www.domain.com/admin.php.
What do I have to do to allow the admin app to be accessed at domain.com/admin or admin.domain.com?
Thanks!
you can open new subdomain an on that subdomain (admin.domain.com) setup virtual host that points to server with your symfony app.
you can look at the full tutorial [here][1].

You probably are better off putting everything admin like in the admin directory, but you can cheat by using mod_rewrite
RewriteRule ^admin/?$ admin.php [L]
Here are some basic ways you could do it:
Either dump admin.php into a folder called 'admin' in the root of www.domain.com, and rename admin.php to index.php. (Easiest solution)
Of course, this way you have to adjust all relative links in admin.php to one level up (appending '../' to the start of all relative urls should work), as well as all absolute links to reflect the changes.
Regarding your admin.domain.com, you should contact your webhost/domain name provider to setup a subdomain for you.
Or if your webhost allows .htaccess files, you could write a mod_rewrite rule.
i would create a module called admin...then in presumably the index action I would put whatever you had in your admin.php file.
then in your routing.yml file just point yourdomain.com/admin to the admin/index....that way you keep everything within the symfony front controller

Make sure your DNS resolves the admin.domain.com correctly, then edit .htaccess in the /web to have mod_rewrite pick up on your subdomain and rewrite requests to admin.php. Optionally rename your admin.php to something less obvious or perhaps do a quick subdomain check inside it as well, or extend the rewrite with a 301 redirect if anyone hits domain.com/admin.php.
The following simple .htaccess works for me:
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# The admin subdomain returns the backend
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^admin\.domain\..*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ admin.php [QSA,L]
# Check if the .html version is here (caching)
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# No?, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Change domain to your own domain.
