.htaccess redirect peaple friendly url with parameters - php

Question

I try to make the URL of my site a litle more readable, but I have trouble doing this.
Her are samples of the URL it Looks like now:
http://example.com/
http://example.com/index.php
http://example.com/index.php?page=home
http://example.com/index.php?page=profile&uid=483ec3a0-7e0f-32e6-f357-ac9311204246
They have to look like:
http://example.com/
http://example.com/home/
http://example.com/profile/483ec3a0-7e0f-32e6-f357-ac9311204246/
Here is the Content of my .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# external redirect from /view.php?id=1 to /view/id/1
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)&uid=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/? [L,R=301]
# internal forward from /view/id/1 to /view.php?id=1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&uid=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
It rewrites correct an URL like http://example.com/index.php?page=profile&uid=483ec3a0-7e0f-32e6-f357-ac9311204246 -> http://example.com/profile/483ec3a0-7e0f-32e6-f357-ac9311204246/ but i get everytime an 404 error. If i try to call http://example.com/ or http://example.com/home/ i get an 500 error.
What is my problem?

You need another redirect rule for no parameters and you need to add some conditions to your internal forwarding rules so that /index.php doesn't get matched:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# external redirect from /view.php?id=1 to /view/id/1
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+)&uid=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php\?page=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+index\.php($|\ ) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /? [L,R=301]
# internal forward from /view/id/1 to /view.php?id=1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&uid=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

It seems you're hitting problem of infinite looping causing 500. It is due to the reason that last 2 routing rules aren't skipping files and directories.
Insert this rule just above # internal forward line:
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
