I have Apache installed.
I have LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so un-commented and set every instance of AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All in http.conf.
My site is in a subfolder, so its like http://123.34.56.123/Website/ to get to it.
.htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Website/
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^index.php http://www.google.com/? [R=301,L]
But when I visit the above address, it does not redirect to google.com and, instead, shows the contents of index.php.
Update:
Added junk to the .htaccess file and http.conf to force a internal server error, and it still just goes to my index.php.
Did a var dump on $_SERVER, and found this out: ["SERVER_SOFTWARE"]=> string(17) "Microsoft-IIS/6.0", but can't find any program files around IIS.
Based on your question, some probable causes of your problem:
Incorrectly named .htaccess file. You call it an "htaccess file" repeatedly in your post. The filename must be .htaccess (with the leading .).
File in the wrong directory. Make sure this file is in the root directory of your site.
The module you need to enable isn't mod_userdir.so, but mod_rewrite.so. Look for a line like this one: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Make sure the [R=301,L] is on the same line as the RewriteRule to which it applies, or you will have errors.
Also, don't do a 301 on this, even for testing -- it will permanently redirect traffic to your index.php to Google. That's what a 301 does. For testing, use a 302.
Converting comment to an answer, if your update to httpd.conf mysteriously fail to change anything on Windows, edit httpd.conf as Administrator (not a member of the administrator group, Administrator) to avoid Windows silently doing "data redirection" of httpd.conf edited out of Program Files.

I have a QNAP NAS with Apache correctly installed. Some pages are linking fine except for ones using any RewriteRule. All other pages are linking correctly to mysql and displaying fine its the ones with any RewriteRule, these are showing up as a 404 error like this:
The requested URL /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Web/clients/hembury4x4/couk/view-sitemap.php was not found on this server.
URL = http://192.168.1.210/Web/clients/clientname/sitemap.html
FILE= http://192.168.1.210/Web/clients/clientname/view-sitemap.php
My rule is quite simply: RewriteRule ^sitemap.html$ view-sitemap.php [NC,L]
I have copied all the site files from my computer where the redirect was working perfectly. What do i need to add on my htaccess file?
Thanks in advance
First, apache should have rewrite module. It should present in the output of httpd -M command.
Then you should allow .htaccess files. This can be made by adding AccessFileName .htaccess directive (if it's absent) to your httpd.conf file. Also check you have this section:
<Directory />
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
I have a Cake 2.3.8 app that works fine on localhost and I uploaded it to an Ubuntu 12.04 EC2 instance, but on the index/home file I'm getting a "Missing Controller" error.
The CSS, header and footer load fine on the home/index page, but it can't seem to find the controller. Every single other page/controller of my app won't even load, I get a 404 error.
I tried this but my issue still persists.
What else should I look for that would cause it to not find the controller and not even load any other pages?
Update
I moved my contents to /var/www so it would be accessed through my-ec2-instance.com. When I go to my-ec2-instance.com/index.php the page displays (which is PagesController/home.ctp). However, anything else gives a 404 error. Modrewrite is also enabled
I can also access my actions when I reference index.php, although it displays in mobile format for whatever reason (I have a responsive template). Ex: www.my-ec2-instance.com/index.php/users/login works, although it's in a mobile format
www.my-ec2-instance.com/index.php //works
www.my-ec2-instance.com/index.php/users/login //works, but mobile format
www.my-ec2-instance.com/users/login //404 error
Please connect your instance via putty then press
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Check the given below line and remove the # tag
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
After that you can replace:
AllowOverride None
with
AllowOverride All
Note: AllowOverride None -> AllowOverride All.
From Crtl+X then press Y then press Enter (you can use this command according to your OS)
After that you can execute the command in putty
sudo service httpd restart
Then check your .htaccess file (please make sure your .htaccess should be correct) for cakePHP .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Sounds like an issue with your .htaccess file which is what would properly rewrite short URLs & handling controller routing.
I'm trying to configurate .htaccess to set rewriting URL in localhost, with EasyPHP, but all I get is 404 error.
My local website is C:\Projects\Test\, and in EasyPHP I created a new alias with "Test" name poiting to this location. So, to access this website, I type 127.0.0.1:8080/test in the browser.
The .htaccess file is addressed in the root of this website (C:\Projects\Test\ .htaccess). It's just an example, where everything typed redirects the user to "/user/inicial.php".
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ /user/inicial.php
</IfModule>
I've also follow these steps to configure apache to be able to run rewriting URLs:
Changed httpd.conf file (addressed in C:\Programs\EasyPHP-12.1\conf_files) where:
Uncomment "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" line;
Change all "AllowOverride None" sentences to "AllowOverride All".
It's everything that I have done. If someone has more options to give me, I'll really appreciate.
I've had to move from testing on the live server, to testing locally on a virtual apache server. I've installed XAMPP just fine, downloaded and installed the wordpress files and the database. Everything looks great! The local version of my homepage is identical to the live version. There's only one problem: the homepage is the only page that works. When I click on one of the links i.e. the "about" page (http://localhost/wordpress/about/), I am redirected to the xampp control panel (http://localhost/xampp).
I have a good feeling this has to do with a problem with the "pretty links"/mod_rewrite rules. I made sure I brought over the .htaccess file, and it contains the rewrite instructions. The wordpress database has the proper permalink structure, and the httpd.conf file has the "RewriteEngine on" and the "FollowSymLinks" directives enabled. There has got to be some sort of rewrite problem here, although I am not ruling out something else stupid I might have done. Thanks for all your help!

*Here is what the .htaccess looks like:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
In the httpd.conf, change the
DocumentRoot "/path/to/your/app/wordpress"
also
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/path/to/your/app/wordpress">
This should work, the path is absolute.
And do you have load the:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
in httpd.conf??
If your server version works with a domain name, i.e: http://domainname.com is equivalent that http://localhost/wordpress the rewrite rules will be differents. post the rules here.
The problem is that wordpress does not believe in relative paths for some reason. There is an assumption that wordpress is running from the server root not a directory under the root (e.g. /var/www/wordpress will not work, but /var/www/ will).
The problem is with the .htaccess file they provide. It should re-write it to index.php and not /index.php. Change that line in your config and it will work.
What happens is that it tries to actually go to the default document root (in my case /var/www/index.php, which does not exist since I am using http://localhost/worpress which is an alias for ~/projects/worpress). You can check your error log and it will tell you where it is trying to look for the index.php file (which will return a 404 error).
I can go on a rant about how stupid it is that they do that and how bad the whole software design of wordpress is. But I will spare you that :).
requests -----> should be written to new url
/institute/dps -----> /institute.php?slug=dps
/institute/abc -----> /institute.php?slug=abc
/institute/123 -----> /institute.php?slug=123
I am using following rule in .htaccess
RewriteRule ^institute/(.*)$ /institute.php?slug=$1
However, it's not working. the page insitute.php get's execution, but the query string always comes empty.
Any suggestions?
That should work... If you try
RewriteRule ^institute/(.*)$ /institute.php?slug=$1 [R]
it should redirect formally, and you'll see the new URI
If you don't have the [R] in there it will issue the correct request, but you won't see ?slug= in the query string, but $_REQUEST['slug'] will be set.
Have you turned on Rewriting in your .htaccess file? (before your RewriteRule)
RewriteEngine On
If so - does your apache configuration allow you to use .htaccess file? (look for the line)
AllowOverride None
inside you httpd.conf
it SHOULD be
AllowOverride All
Finally make sure the url rewriting module is turned on in httpd.conf (it might be commented out)
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
