I'm implementing friendly-URLs using mod_rewrite in Apache HTTPD. My .htaccess file looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{REQUEST_URI} !((.php|.htm|.css|.jpg|.png|.gif|.js|.ico)|/static/|/uploads/)
RewriteRule (.*) /main.php?path=$1 [QSA,L]
(I know it's a bit of a mess, it's related to legacy code that I'll be fixing later)
This works perfectly if the user puts in a URL that looks like
http://example.com/test/
However, if the user forgets the trailing slash
http://example.com/test
then they get redirected to
http://example.com/test/?path=test
This makes the URLs quite ugly, and I'd like to fix it, however I don't have enough of an understanding of mod_rewrite to know what's wrong. Any chance anyone could help me?
Thanks!
It is happening due to mod_dir adding a trailing slash in front of directories. You should use RewriteCond to skip rewriting existing files/directories like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main.php?path=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ /main.php?path=$1 [QSA,L]
In the end I rearranged my directory structure and tidied up my .htaccess file to simply contain
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /main.php?path=$1 [QSA]
This does mean I'll have to do some more manual 404 error handling, but that's not really a big issue for me as the nature of my URL structure meant I'd have had to do that anyway.
Thanks heaps to anubhava for helping me work through this issue, I've marked his answer as correct even though it was really his comments that helped me.
EDIT: It's very important to use REQUEST_FILENAME instead of REQUEST_URI for the RewriteConds. I'm not sure why, but it doesn't work if you use the wrong ones.

I've been crawling forums for about 2 hours and still haven't found the solution to my problem so I am turning to you guys for help.
My URL looks like this
http://sevalinmutfagi.com/list.php?id=1?kategori=borekler
I want it to look like this
http://sevalinmutfagi.com/tarifler/borekler
I try so much rewrite example but my index file at a subfolder in /View/ so I can't rewrite my URLs
here my .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?sevalinmutfagi.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/View/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /View/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?sevalinmutfagi.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ View/index.php [L]
This code works well for redirect subfolder all pages but I try to add rewrite URL codes can't work. I hope that has been revealing. Thanks to every for help.
that's worked for me fine.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 [NC,L]
The FIRST thing to learn about mod_rewrite is when NOT to use it. Since mod_alias handles your specific task very nicely, that’s what I’d use:
Redirect 301 / /subfolder/
Since that looks like it would be “loopy,” you could fall back on mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^subfolder/
RewriteRule .? subfolder%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
There’s just too much wrong with your attempt to cover … and I’ve addressed exactly those issues many times in many threads. Therefore, you might benefit from reading the mod_rewrite tutorial linked in my signature as it contains explanations and sample code. It’s helped may members and should help you, too
I'll be honest in saying I have very little experience with .htaccess as I've always wanted to stay away from it as best I can. However, I've recently wanted to tidy up my urls and I've found that it's possible through .htaccess and rewriting.
Basically, I want to rewrite a url like:
www.mysite.com/profile.php?id=48194
To something like:
www.mysite.com/profile/48194
Here's the code I have currently:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/$ profile.php?id=$1
The line I'm trying to use is on the very bottom, RewriteRule ^profile/(.*)/$ profile.php?id=$1. The rest is used to remove the page extensions from the urls. I've changed $1 to $2 thinking perhaps it was conflicting with the code above, but nothing changed.
I also removed all the code except for RewriteEngine on and the last line thinking maybe the codes were conflicting but, again, nothing changed or worked. The rest of the code does work, removing the extensions from urls that is, so I know the rewrite thing is on.
Could someone try to break down and explain what I did wrong and how all this works? As well as providing a working example of the thing I'm trying to accomplish?
Thanks in advance!
Change order of your rules and use MultiViews option. Option MultiViews is used by Apache's content negotiation module that runs before mod_rewrite and and makes Apache server match extensions of files. So /file can be in URL but it will serve /file.php.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)/?$ profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
I just want a simple redirect to clean up the url's on a site.
e.g.
I want ajhtestserver.com/registration/ to redirect to ajhtestserver.com/registration.php
It should be easy and I have successfully used .htaccess rewrites on other sites but for some reason it just will not work for me today.
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^registration[/]$ registration.php [NC,L] # Handle requests for "registration"
I am sure it is something simple that I am missing but I basically just copied what I have on other sites that work fine for me so I am confused as to why it just refuses to work for me here (gives me The requested URL /ajhtestserver/registration/ was not found on this server. error). Just one of those days :(
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
if you use apache ,first you should enable rewrite_mode in http.conf or ...\
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^registration/(.*)$ registration.php/$1 [L]
check .htaccess syntax or rewrite mode.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)[/]$ $1.php [L]
Well it didn't seem to like it when the redirect source word and target filename were the same word but this works...
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z\ ]+)[/]?$ $1.php [NC,L]
And that is actually a better solution anyway as it doesn't require a separate rule for each page.
Though I never did figure out why it didn't like it the original way.
Trying to get www.example.com/test.php?archives=testing to www.example.com/archives/testing
According to godaddy they have mod_rewrite enabled by default
Here is my .htaccess file:
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
rewriterule ^example\/(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/$1" [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^archives/(\w+)$ test.php?archives=$1 [L]
However this is not working, when i go to www.example.com/archives/test I get a 404, suggestions
I just left this in a comment but i might as well put it here so its seen easier. I wrote an answer for someone thats helped others out over time, and in the end this isn't exactly an answer to what your asking however its more of a stepping stone in the direction. The original question was asked how to work with short url strings and make them work in a fashion like your looking for, but rather copy and paste that answer here. Ill let you go there and read over it.
Its not to go without saying you will need to alter the rule a little for your specific needs but it will in the end serve its purpose for getting you where you want to be.
PHP dynamic DB page rewrite URL
You need some rewrite conditions to specify when this rule will be used. Without them, you will keep running the same rewrite rule indefinitely, giving you an error. Try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^archives/(\w+)$ test.php?archives=$1 [L]
How about this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^archives/(.+)$ /test.php?archives=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Without is being super clear what you are trying to get from your rewrites I suggest:
Options -MultiViews
ErrorDocument 404 default
RewriteBase /
I need to have URLs fitting this criteria:
www.domain.com/abc
rewritten to be:
www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
I can do it where the last letter(s) are fixed like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm$ index.php?name=$1
which means www.domain.com/abc.htm would go to www.domain.com/index.php?name=abc
but I need it to not have the .htm (or anything after the abc)
Can this be done? I've spent some time trying to find the solution but so far without success.
Thanks in anticipation.
Jon
Try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?name=$1 [L]
I usually use RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?name=$1
I am not completely sure on your criteria though, this will send everything to the PHP script.
If you only want to rewrite the first part of a path ie. /abc but not abc/def or abc/ I can change it for you.
