URL Rewriting don't work in my apache2 - php

I have a problem with my apache2, the url rewriting don't work and I don't know why...
In my phpinfo(), I have:
Loaded Modules: mod_rewrite
My .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test\.html$ /test.php [L]
My Apache config:
<VirtualHost>
ServerAdmin mail#gmail.com
ServerName www.site.com
ServerAlias site.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/site.com/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/site.com/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I think my config is right, but I really don't know why my rewriting don't work... Have you an idea ?
Thanks you so much !

For this particular rule:
RewriteRule ^test\.html$ /test.php [L]
Mod_negotiation is going to try to deal with it for you. You want to turn Multiviews off if you want that to work:
Options -Multiviews
at the top of your htaccess file, or remove it from your <Directory> container:
<Directory /var/www/site.com/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Apache2 Ubuntu: Virtualhost redirects to localhost

I wanted to set up a virtualhost for my apache2 running on my computer. So when I browse to: "invision.jan.pcsg" I get the page contents/folder structure from "/var/www/html/invision"
This is the virtualhost file "invision.jan.pcsg.conf" I created:
<VirtualHost invision.jan.pcsg:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/invision
ServerName invision.jan.pcsg
ServerAlias hkl.mor.pcsg hkl_at.mor.pcsg
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/html/invision/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
When I browse to "invision.jan.pcsg" now, I get redirected to localhost and the "php is working"-page is displayed.
When browsing to "jan.pcsg" the folder contents of "/var/www" is displayed.
Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
I had the same issue but in my case I realized I had forgotten to enable the host .conf file.
sudo a2ensite myvhost.conf
Then I just reloaded apache and everything worked out as expected.
Change your DocumentRoot to directory where your web application ('view' if its MVC) is located.
Usually its : DocumentRoot /home/www-data/ /

FIXED htaccess rewriterule gives 404 error

I'm trying to rewrite /test to /test.php. If I go to the link directly it will give me the php page that works but when I go to /test it just gives a 404 not found error. I have enabled mod_rewrite and given the /var/www 755 permissions.
.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test test.php [NC]
test.com.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
ServerName test.com
ServerAlias www.test.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/test.com
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/test.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

LogLevel warn

FIXED: Changed FollowSymLinks to +FollowSymLinks
If you use RewriteLogLevel you will see what the server does. In your case, you will see a applying pattern '^test' to uri '/test'. Update your rule to :
RewriteRule ^/test$ /test.php [NC]

How to rewrite URL without .htaccess?

I've been reading up on this on the web, but still could not figure out how to implement it properly. I'd greatly appreciate if you could help me understand how to make url rewrite work without .htaccess.
To check if mod_rewrite is enabled, I ran command ~# sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES. It produced, among others the following module: rewrite_module (shared). I don't know if it is the same as mod_rewrite?
Folder /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ has file rewrite.load
I'm not clear which file exactly I should add rewrite rules to?
File httpd.conf located in /etc/apache2/ is empty. However there's a file named 000-default located in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and it looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I'm not clear at all where I should add rewrite rules. I tried adding them to this 000-default file into <Directory /var/www/> section, but it did not work.
You put the rewrite code in the directory block where you're have the .htaccess file (if you use them). For example if /var/www is your docroot, you could put it their:
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</Directory>
If you are using apache 2.2.16 or newer, use
FallbackResource /index.php

PHP $_GET not get value of RewriteRule in case of "index"

I'm having a problem. I'm trying to get this url:
mySite.com/index.php?url=category/value1/value2/value3
From this:
MySite.com/category/value1/value2/value3
I have this .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
everything is working fine if category is everything but "index", so if I put the URL:
MySite.com/content/tv/color
The array $_GET is equal to:
Array
(
[url] => content/tv/color/
)
but when i put:
MySite.com/index/option1/option2
the array is empty
Array()
I checked my apache.conf file and I can't see the problem.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin user#site.com

You need to turn off MultiViews option by prepending minus sign - before it like -MultiViews.
Actually I'm not sure why you turned it on explicitly. Was it just a config copy-paste?
Also if you don't need FollowSymLinks (I'm sure you don't need it) - turn it off as well.

Apache2 reading php files

I have a problem in Apache2. I changed my root directory to certain folder as in /var/www. I have php files under /html folder. Whenever I try to open any file under /html folder in web browser using link, it does not show anything.
This is how my "default" file looks like.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/web/html>

</Directory>

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks.

You're forgetting to read your error log.
