I've made some search about .htaccess Rewrite function, but I couldn't find any example with an html reference.
I'm trying to redirect from my example.com/products/category/ link to another page.
Here's the link what I'd like the .htaccess file to redirect:
<a href="example.com/products/category/?category=bathroom">
I'd like to achieve this style:
example.com/products/category/bathroom/
Here's my .htaccess ReWriteRule:
RewriteRule ^products/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ /products/category.php/?category=$1 [L] # Process category
Note that I'm using two different php pages for both. page-category.php and category.php
I've places it after
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
but still it doesn't work.. The only time something happened when I tried some combinations, it threw back an internal server error. Is there a problem with my RegEx or am I not doing the linking right ?
EDIT: I'm using wordpress, I forgot to mention that, sorry.
You need to use Redirect 301
RedirectMatch 301 ^example.com/products/category/?category= /example/home/page-category.php
Or you can use mod_rewrite instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example/products/category/?category= /example/home/page-category.php [L,R=301]
same you can do for another file.
as i understood from your question you need something like this in category directory .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) category.php?category=$1 [QSA]
Now anything that is not a directory or a file inside category directory will be rewriten like /category/bathroom will be rewriten to (without redirection) /category.php?category=bathroom

I try to make pretty URLs for my website like there:
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/using-htaccess-files-for-pretty-urls--net-6049
My .htaccess file looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^profile/(\d+)*$ ./profile.php?id=$1
It works, root/profile/123 opens root/profile.php?id=123, but the folder paths are now broken:
root/profile.php?id=123 references for example root/css/style.css
but root/profile/123 wants to reference root/profile/css/style.css, which doesn't exist.
I want to have it both ways working: root/profile.php?id=123 and root/profile/123
How can i fix the link problem?
You could add an alias for anything that would be accessed via /root/profile/ with Alias:
Alias /root/profile /real/path/root
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_alias.html#alias
If you are limited to a .htaccess file you can add another rewrite rule before the one you already have:
RewriteRule ^root/profile/(.*)$ /profile/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^profile/(\d+)*$ /profile.php?id=$1
As the first rule would redirect any access to files at root/profile to profile, which is in turn evaluated by the second rewriterule, this would lead to an infinite loop. The flag [L], which stands for "last" tells the rewriteengine to stop further processing, if it encounters a path starting with "root/profile".
I need to rewrite only 1 specific URL, to display to visitors specific content: I tried something like, this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} example.com/test/2_5/page.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/tt.html [R,L]
I need to rewrite all requests to:
http://example.com/test/2_5/page.html
to
http://example.com/tt.html
how to do this?
thanks,
Redirect /test/2_5/page.html /tt.html
Ok, mod_rewrite
RewriteRule ^/test/2_5/page.html /tt.html [L]
Remove first / if using .htaccess in the site's root folder, not the .conf file. And, typically, the final url should be the full one, with http:// and domain, but this one will work too. If you want to do everything by the rules then
RewriteRule ^/test/2_5/page\.html$ http://example.com/tt.html [L]
This is my .htaccess code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ movie.php?name=$1
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example\.in$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.in" [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Header unset ETag
FileETag None
I need a clean URL for my website.
I've consulted lots of tutorials and forums and created the above code.
But it's not working. Almost I'm fighting with code.
I don't understand the clean URL concept clearly. Are there any codings I have to write in my PHP file?
<a href='movie.php?name=titanic'> Titanic </a>
I have this link in my index.php file.
I'd like example.in/movie/titanic when I click on the link "Titanic".
Also I'd like to get the value by $_[request].
What exactly do I have to do? Please don't mark this question as duplicate, I've searched a lot and haven't got the concept clearly. Please help me out.
Thanks.
The rules in .htaccess work on url's relative to the directory your .htaccess file is in. If you have a .htaccess in your www-root, then the first argument of RewriteRule will match everything behind the domain name and before the query string (movie/titanic in http://example.com/movie/titanic?is=amovie). To fix the rule, you need to change the rule to:
RewriteRule ^movie/([a-z0-9]+)/?$ movie.php?name=$1 [L,NC]
The [L] flag stops rewriting for this round, the [NC] flag ignores case.
Besides that, you only need one RewriteEngine on, which needs to be above all rules you write. You can safely delete the second one.
You can put your .htaccess into main Directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^movie/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(/)$ movie.php?name=$1 [L]
Or in movies/ directory:
RewriteEngine On /movies/
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)(/)$ ../movie.php?name=$1 [L]
While movie.php is in main Directory located.
RewriteEngine On can by starterd only once per htaccess.
I'm working on a website that has been built sloppily.
The website is filled with regular links that are translated into the corresponding .php pages by the .htaccess page.
This is it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)/$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*).html/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ cat.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>
First of all, I would love some help regarding whether or not this page has everything it should. I've never messed with it before.
Secondly and my main issue, if, for example, I would write the address www.thewebsite.com/foobar.html, it would be translated into www.thewebsite.com/cat.php?cat=foobar by the .htaccess page, and it would give a database error (and reveal information about the database).
I've put a check into cat.php which checks if the category exists, but I can't redirect the user to the 404 error page. There's a page called 404.shtml in the website, but redirecting the user to it causes the .htaccess to just change it again to cat.php?cat=404.
Is the way they used the .htaccess page normal? Should I change this system?
And how are users sent to error pages? From what I understood the server should be doing it on its own?
I would love some clarification... There is some much about this subject I don't understand.
Update:
This is my new .htaccess page
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^error.php?err=(.*)$ Error$1.html
# Only apply this rule if we're not requesting a file...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
# ...and if we're not requesting a directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)/$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*).html/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ cat.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>
Because the redirecting is in the code and the user cannot see it, I allowed myself to write the link in a non-clean way. I tried turning it into a clean URL but the following does not do anything:
RewriteRule ^error.php?err=(.*)$ Error$1.html
Can someone please help me understand why? I thought since error.php is a real page, I should put it before the conditional but it didn't work. BTW, I saw in an article about .htaccess that the page should start with Options +FollowSymLinks. It seems to me that everyone sort of has their own way of writing it. Is there a guide or something like that, which I can be sure is authentic and covers all the bases there is about .htaccess?
Thank you so much!!
Using rewrite rules to work around links to .html pages that don't exist is unusual in my experience, but it's really just a different take on "pretty" URLs, e.g. www.thewebsite.com/foobar/ gets routed to cat.php?cat=foobar on the backend.
Your 404 issue is different. You need to be able to display error pages.
One option here is to rewrite requests as long as they don't request an existing file. This is very common for serving up static content like images, CSS files, and the like. To do this, you can use the -d and -f options to RewriteCond, which apply when requesting a directory and file respectively:
RewriteEngine On
# Only apply this rule if we're not requesting a file...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
# ...and if we're not requesting a directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ cat.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]
Now, requests to 404.shtml should go through, because you're requesting an existing file on the filesystem.
Note that the RewriteConds only apply to the single RewriteRule that immediately follows. For additional RewriteRules, also include additional RewriteConds.
Your regex is wrong anywhere. Literal dot needs to be escaped using otherwise it will match any character. Also it is better to use L and QSA flags to end each rule properly.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^koral/([^/]+)/?$ page.php?name=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/?$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ cat.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2 [L,QSA]
I am trying to get url from:
192.168.0.1/movie-page.php?id=123
to:
192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name
or even (for now):
192.168.0.1/movie/123
I've simplified it by using this url (to get something working):
192.168.0.1/pet_care_info_07_07_2008.php TO 192.168.0.1/pet-care/
my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pet-care/?$ pet_care_info_07_07_2008.php [NC,L]
What am I doing wrong? I've tried many combinations but no luck and my patience is running out...
I am running this on my local NAS which should have mod_rewrite enabled by default. I have tested .htaccess by entering random string in .htaccess file and opening the page, I got 404 error. I assume this means that .htaccess is being used since the page stops functioning if the file is malformed.
If you want to rewrite:
192.168.0.1/movie-page.php?id=123 too
192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name or 192.168.0.1/movie/123
Then you would do something like, but will require you manually add a rewrite for any new route (fancy url) you want, and eventually you may want your script to create routes dynamically or have a single entry point to sanitize:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^movie/([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)$ movie-page.php?id=$1 [L]
So a better method is to route everything through the rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]
Then handle the route by splitting the $_GET['route'] with explode()
<?php
//192.168.0.1/movie/movie-name
$route = (isset($_GET['route'])?explode('/',$_GET['route']):null);
if(!empty($route)){
//example
$route[0]; //movie
$route[1]; //movie-name
}
?>
You want something like this:
RewriteRule ^movie/([0-9]*)$ /movie-page.php?id=$1 [L,R=301]
That will give the movie ID version with a numeric ID.
