I'm failing in edit a .htaccess file.
I created a complete website in a php slim framework (let's call it website S).
My client have a wordpress website (let's call it website W) that will have links toward my website S.
I copied all the files of my website S inside a directory of the root directory of the website W.
My idea is to change the follow htaccess (created by wordpress) to allow public access to the directory without creating any problem to move inside website S.
First .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !wc-api [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.pe$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.website.pe
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://website.pe/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Then, I guess I could use inside the directory where the website S would be, the typical htaccess that works properly for it.
Edited I added the structure of the website S. The index.php is inside a public directory there.
Second .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
I try different ways but, or get the message
"Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource."
Or get inside but the website W stop working.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
In the config you've posted you would just need to remove the RewriteBase / directive from the second .htaccess file in the "slim" subdirectory. This is causing requests to your slim website to be routed back through the WordPress site in the document root (which would presumably result in a 404).
My idea is to change the follow htaccess (created by wordpress) to allow public access to the directory without creating any problem to move inside website S
You shouldn't need to touch the WordPress .htaccess file in the document root. This already allows you to access website S.
By default, the .htaccess file (or rather, the mod_rewrite directives) in the slim subdirectory is going to completely override the WordPress .htaccess file in the root.
Consequently, you'll need to repeat the HTTP to HTTPS redirect in the slim subdirectory (with a difference*1), before the existing directives. Presumably, the intention is to also redirect www to non-www? Although your current redirect (in the root .htaccess file) is not doing this properly.
For example, at the top of your second .htaccess file in the slim directory add the following:
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS and www to non-www
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(website\.pe) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
*1 Note the use of the REQUEST_URI variable instead of the $1 backreference as used in the root .htaccess file. This is necessary when used in the subdirectory, otherwise, the subdirectory will be omitted from the redirected URL.
NB: Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid caching issues.
UPDATE:
But I can't make the website S to run because inside the website S directory exist a public subdirectory with the index.php, arranged like this:
website.pe/ (website W wordpress)
-slimdirectory/ (website S slim)
--vendor/
--public/
---css/
---fonts/
---images/
---js/
---index.php
--bootstrap/
---app.php
--etc..
This is a rather important bit of information missing from your initial question. I assume that the public subdirectory is not part of the visible URL, in which case your second .htaccess file in the slim subdirectory (the parent directory of public) should be something like this instead:
# /slimdirectory/.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS and www to non-www
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(website\.pe) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# Calculate base directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)/(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule (.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
# Slim front-controller
RewriteRule ^public/index\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . public/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^$ public/index.php [L]
The QSA flag is not required.
You do not need the <IfModule> wrapper.
Yes MrWhite, I delete in the second .htaccess the RewriteBase / and now I can access a simple index.html in the directory where the slim website is that I used for testing.
But I can't make the website S to run because inside the website S directory exist a public subdirectory with the index.php, arranged like this:
website.pe/ (website W wordpress)
-slimdirectory/ (website S slim)
--.htacess
--vendor/
--public/
---css/
---fonts/
---images/
---js/
---index.php
--bootstrap/
---app.php
--etc..
I am new to htaccess and don't understand how one htaccess overwrite the other one, so if I use something like you told me in my second htaccess only like this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS and www to non-www
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(website\.pe) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
That should work... but still not
I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong url.
The url they are indexing is:
http://www.example.com/index.php/section1/section2
I need it to redirect to:
http://www.example.com/section1/section2
.htaccess isn't my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.
The original answer is actually correct, but lacks explanation. I would like to add some explanations and modifications.
I suggest reading this short introduction https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/intro.html (15mins) and reference these 2 pages while reading.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html
This is the basic rule to hide index.php from the URL. Put this in your root .htaccess file.
mod_rewrite must be enabled with PHP and this will work for the PHP version higher than 5.2.6.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L]
Think %{REQUEST_FILENAME} as the the path after host.
E.g. https://www.example.com/index.html, %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is /index.html
So the last 3 lines means, if it's not a regular file !-f and not a directory !-d, then do the RewriteRule.
As for RewriteRule formats:
So RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L] means, if the 2 RewriteCond are satisfied, it (.*) would match everything after the hostname. . matches any single character , .* matches any characters and (.*) makes this a variables can be references with $1, then replace with /index.php/$1. The final effect is to add a preceding index.php to the whole URL path.
E.g. for https://www.example.com/hello, it would produce, https://www.example.com/index.php/hello internally.
Another key problem is that this indeed solve the question. Internally, (I guess) it always need https://www.example.com/index.php/hello, but with rewriting, you could visit the site without index.php, apache adds that for you internally.
Btw, making an extra .htaccess file is not very recommended by the Apache doc.
Rewriting is typically configured in the main server configuration
setting (outside any <Directory> section) or inside <VirtualHost>
containers. This is the easiest way to do rewriting and is recommended
To remove index.php from the URL, and to redirect the visitor to the non-index.php version of the page:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will cleanly redirect /index.php/myblog to simply /myblog.
Using a 301 redirect will preserve Google search engine rankings.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
Assuming the existent url is
http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar
and we want to convert it into
http://example.com/foo/bar
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
#1) redirect the client from "/index.php/foo/bar" to "/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php/(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NE,L,R]
#2)internally map "/foo/bar" to "/index.php/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
In the spep #1 we first match against the request string and capture everything after the /index.php/ and the captured value is saved in %1 var. We then send the browser to a new url.
The #2 processes the request internally. When the browser arrives at /foo/bar , #2rule rewrites the new url to the orignal location.
Steps to remove index.php from url for your wordpress website.
Check you should have mod_rewrite enabled at your server.
To check whether it's enabled or not - Create 1 file phpinfo.php at your root folder with below command.
<?php
phpinfo?();
?>
Now run this file - www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and it will show mod_rewrite at Load modules section.
If not enabled then perform below commands at your terminal.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Make sure your .htaccess is existing in your WordPress root folder, if not create one .htaccess file
Paste this code at your .htaccess file :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Further make permission of .htaccess to 666 so that it become writable and now you can do changes in your wordpress permalinks.
Now go to Settings -> permalinks -> and change to your needed url format.
Remove this code /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and insert this code on Custom Structure: /%postname%/
If still not succeeded then check your hosting, mine was digitalocean server, so I cleared it myself
Edited the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Added this line after DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Restart your apache server
Note: /var/www/html will be your document root
Do the following steps
1. Make sure that the hosting / your pc mod_rewrite module is active. if not active then try to activate in a way, open the httpd.conf file. You can check this in the phpinfo.php to find out.
change this setting :
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to be and restart wamp
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
if above does not work try with this:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
3. Move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php there.
www OR root folder
- index.php
- .htaccess
Some may get a 403 with the method listed above using mod_rewrite. Another solution to rewite index.php out is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Put your installation directory here:
RewriteBase /
# Do not enable rewriting for files or directories that exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have used many codes from the above mentioned sections for removing index.php form the base url. But it was not working from my end. So, you can use this code which I have used and its working properly.
If you really need to remove index.php from the base URL then just put this code in your htaccess.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will work, use the following code in .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
I don't have to many bulky code to give out just a little snippet solved the issue for me.
i have https://example.com/entitlements/index.php rather i want anyone that types it to get error on request event if you type https://example.com/entitlements/index
you will still get error since there's this word "index" is contained there will always be an error thrown back though the content of index.php will still be displayed properly
cletus post on "https://stackoverflow.com/a/1055655/12192635" which
solved it
Edit your .htaccess file with the below
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index.php to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
Not withstanding we have already known that the above code works with already existing codes on stack see where i applied the code above just below the all codes at it end.
# The following will allow you to use URLs such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything
# example.com/anything/
#
# Which will actually serve files such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything.html
# example.com/anything.php
#
# But *only if they exist*, otherwise it will report the usual 404 error.
Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/

Hello I have a main domain that have instabuilder setup on and when creating a page with instabuilding it creates it as "maindomain.com/pagename"
The problem I'm having is with my addon domain when I create a page with instabuilder it creates the link as addondomain.com/index.php/pagename Why is the index.php coming up, the link doesn't look nice.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
This is the code you can use in your .htaccess (under DOCUMENT_ROOT) to remove index.php from URI:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(.*)/index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]

Remove 'index.php' from URL with .htaccess
I've got a url http://example.com/pages.php/page-name and I want to remove the .php extension on the pages.php part... Is that possible with an .htaccess file or should I just give up?
I've tried RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php/(.+)$ $1/$2 from "Remove php extension from url" with no luck.
I'm new to .htaccess files (this is the first site my normal tricks don't work)
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+([^/.]+)\.php/(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1/%2? [R=302,L,NE]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/]+)/?$ $1.php/$2 [L,NC]
i have been working on a framework that i am creating in php and the essential part for it to work is to send all the url queries to index.php in the root folder.
I managed to do it in the folloowing code at my .htaccess file
# Turn rewriting on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect requests to index.php
#RewriteRule ^(phpmyadmin)($|/) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(html)($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.png$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.css$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.gif$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.js$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* /index.php
The problem occurs when i move the site to a different folder for example
www.mydomain.com/subdir/{where the index.php is, along with htaccess}
and it stops working here. The same happens if i move the framework application to a sub-domain as well.
so I am trying to modify .htaccess to rewrite to index.php properly where the .htaccess file is at regardless if it is in a sub-directory or sub-domain. How can i get the .htaccess to know that application is in a sub-directory and rewrite to it properly so change of location does not break .htaccess pointing to the right file?
www.domain.com/{.htaccess+index.php + framework} => works properly
www.subdom.domain.com/{.htaccess+index.php + framework} => does not work
www.domain.com/subdir/{.htaccess+index.php + framework} => does not work //send to www.domain.com/index.php
localhost/projectname/{.htaccess+index.php + framework} =>does not work
As you can see it needs to send the requests to index.php where htaccess is also located at.
You can use this trick to always write in index.php of the current directory:
RewriteEngine On
# Generate BASE dynamically
# It compares REQUEST_URI variable (which is complete path) with the URI matched by
# RewriteRule (which is relative to current path) and gets differential in
$ %{ENV:BASE} variable.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^(html)($|/) - [L]
# Redirect requests to %{ENV:BASE}index.php which is index.php of current directory
# It also makes sure index.php exists in current directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{ENV:BASE}index\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule . %{ENV:BASE}index.php [L]
Edit based on new examples:
How about something like this? Basically check to make sure it's not a file, If not a file redirect to index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php [PT,L,QSA]
