I have a .htaccess file to manage rewrite_rules on my website. I also set a 404 redirect command to navigate visitors to a specefied page if they enter a wrong URL. But this redirect does not working and I get 500 Internal Server Error if visitor request an invalid URL. Below is some part of my codes:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2&id=$3&des=$4 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(p[0-9]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2&pn=$3 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=home [NC,QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/404/
What is missing in my code that causes this problem?
The culprit, by seeing all of your .htaccess rules is:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [NS,E=no-gzip:1,E=dont-vary:1]
Giving your sample URL http://www.domain.com/en/news/1/something/test/, when a URL does not match with defined rules it hits this last rewrite rule and it falls into an infinite loop:
applying pattern '^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
applying pattern '^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(p[0-9]+)/?$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
applying pattern '^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
applying pattern '^([^/]+)/?$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
applying pattern '^(.*)$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
Then we have a recursion start:
applying pattern '^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?$' to uri 'en/news/1/something/test/'
...
Although a URL like http://www.domain.com/en/news/1/wrong is not found, it's caught by a defined rule (first rule) and we don't encounter any recursion. So this internal error is not thrown on all not found pages but those that are not caught by a rule.
I don't see it right, just remove it.
you should put
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
in the start and
</IfModule>
in the end of your .htaccess code
Try adding this rule to the top of your htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^404/?$ /pages/errors/404.php [L]
Then under that :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^ http://domain.com/404/ [L,R]
You can use an EroorDocument directive to forword non existent requests to a specific destination
Test this in an empty .htaccess file
ErrorDocument 404 /page.php
Check below code, I have write with various scenario.
ErrorDocument 404 http://example.com/404/
ErrorDocument 500 http://example.com/500/
# or map them to one error document:
# ErrorDocument 404 /pages/errors/error_redirect.php
# ErrorDocument 500 /pages/errors/error_redirect.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/404/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/errors/404.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/500/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/errors/500.php [L]
# or map them to one error document:
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/404/$ [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/500/$
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/errors/error_redirect.php [L]
It seems your mentioned URL after ErrorDocument is not valid or is not reachable.
So, what happening is that when it gets a 404 it redirects to your URL, and it gets a 404 again.
Forms a recursive loop.
Getting my point. ?
Try with a simple static html page.
I hope this shall work.
Custom 404 will never work if you add domain like http://www.mywebsite.com/404/ (it's not coding karma), when you type url like this it will ended up in 500 error. It means it executed 404 but redirected user to 500 error due to wrongly configured htaccess.
When error comes in series of 4XX are knows as client side errors and 5XX known as server side errors. For detailed info, 2XX known as Success & 3XX known as Redirection.
So here is quick try (i assume you have 404 html file)
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
instead of
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.mywebsite.com/404/
I also have tested this code at my side and it worked. Please try out
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2&id=$3&des=$4 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(p[0-9]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2&pn=$3 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?lang=$1&page=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
Try this one:
ErrorDocument 404 /404/
Try adding before rewriterules
RewriteEngine On
i am using wordpress permalink like url.com/article-name but i dont want errors 404 handled by my page - so redirected to the normal server error page.
I am using the following .htaccess:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Can someone help me how i have to adjust the .htaccess code that a error is not redirected to the index.php. If i deleted the .htaccess any links redirects to the server error 404 page.
thank you
Just add this
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
# where 404.php is your error page
According to this answer at https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/ you should use
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml(\.gz)?)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(css|js|html|htm|rtf|rtx|svg|svgz|txt|xsd|xsl|xml|asf|asx|wax|wmv|wmx|avi|bmp|class|divx|doc|docx|exe|gif|gz|gzip|ico|jpg|jpeg|jpe|mdb|mid|midi|mov|qt|mp3|m4a|mp4|m4v|mpeg|mpg|mpe|mpp|odb|odc|odf|odg|odp|ods|odt|ogg|pdf|png|pot|pps|ppt|pptx|ra|ram|swf|tar|tif|tiff|wav|wma|wri|xla|xls|xlsx|xlt|xlw|zip)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
</IfModule>
Hope it helps!
Just wanted to customize Error 404 in my htaccess. The problem is when the user goes to Error 404 page. The URL is not clean compares to others. URL looks like these index.php?page=page-not-found .. How can I make it http://example.com/page-not-found.htm or http://example.com/page-not-found/ ??? By the way, have a look on my codes.
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 404 http://example.com/index.php?page=page-not-found
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.htm$ /website/index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/lesson/([^/]*)\.htm$ /thesis/index.php?page=$1&lesson=$2
Any idea guys? By the way, thanks..
Remove http:// from your 404 directive to avoid server making a full redirect for 404:
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?page=page-not-found
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)\.htm$ /website/index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/lesson/([^/.]+)\.htm$ /thesis/index.php?page=$1&lesson=$2 [L,QSA]
Please try this one.First remove your extensions from all files and try this one
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^p/([0-9]+)$ /p.php?photo=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(Joe|Mao|Napoleon|Gandi)$ /profile.php?username=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ /$1.php [QSA,L]
Hi i have my htaccess with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.htm [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /404.htm
if i erase the first 4 lines, the other piece of code (which redirects de 404 page when there's a page not found) does not work anymore.
Any ideas?
I also want that when it redirects to 404.htm, it does not show on the url box, this url
http://www.mypage.com/404.htm
i want to show this
http://www.mypage.com/fail/search-by-the-user
for example.
Try following .htaccess
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
NOTE: if you are working at localhost then please mention proper RewriteBase
Greetings,
I cant get my htaccess mod_rewrite working as it should..
I have some basic RewriteRules for some static underpages, a redirect from the non www-version and now I would like to add a custom 404-page (called 404.php located in my webroot.
What happens is that when I try to access the underpage it only throws the 404-message back to me over and over again... Can anyone see any problems with this code?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /404.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dhb\.nu$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.dhb.nu/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^policy/$ page.php?page_id=11
RewriteRule ^cookies/$ page.php?page_id=13
Thanks in advance!
Try using this:
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
Read more here: http://www.garnetchaney.com/htaccess_tips_and_tricks.shtml
Instead of
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ /404.php [L]
you should really use the ErrorDocument directive:
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
