RewriteRule - html broken - Like missing css - php

I have problem with this rule:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(\d+)$ more.php?books=$1&tags=$2 [L]
After this rule everything works but page is displayed incorrectly. Like missing css.
Thanks in advance

This might happen, when you have a relative URL to your CSS files. If you access the URL /book-name/2 and have a link to css/style.css, for example, the browser will resolve this to /book-name/css/style.css.
Change your CSS links to absolute URLs, like /css/style.css, and you should be fine.

Clean URL's using htaccess breaks my css

I'm trying to clean my URL path's so that I don't have any GET parameters and PHP extensions in all of my links. As an example for what I'm trying to achieve:
http://localhost/projectname/?page=dashboard
needs to be:
http://localhost/projectname/dashboard/
And it actually works, I used the following code in my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} dashboard/
RewriteRule dashboard/ http://localhost/projectname/?page=dashboard
However, the page displays itself without any CSS or Javascript. I tried navigating to my Style.css only to find out that it looks exactly like the webpage itself, instead of showing me my CSS rules.
So what am I doing wrong? Please don't mark my question as a duplicate, I've been looking into similar questions but couldn't solve the problem.
You're changing the relative URI when your URL goes from /projectname/ to /projectname/dashboard/.
When that happens, every relative link on the page will have the wrong base added to it. The browser has no idea that the base is actually /projectname/ when all it sees is the location being at /projectname/dashboard/.
Right now, when your css is linked like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Content/style.css">
The browser attempts to resolve it by adding the base from the location, and it'll load:
https://localhost/projectname/dashboard/Content/style.css
which doesn't exist because the "dashboard" isn't actually a folder.
You can either add a base to the actual page by including this in the page header:
<base href="/projectname/" />
Or you can try to un-rewrite the dashboard out of the request (a bit trickier and more error prone) by adding this rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/projectname/dashboard/(.*\.css)$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/projectname/%1 -f
RewriteCond ^projectname/dashboard/(.*\.css)$ /projectname/$1 [L]
Note that does this may have an unintended impact on your browser's cache.
Use the absolute path to the CSS.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/projectname/assets/style.css">

CSS not loading after URL rewriting

I am trying to rewrite URL from example.com/test.php?id=hd3j3 to example.com/id/hd3j3.
The problem is rewriting occurs and I am taken to the page but the css and js of the page doesn't load. Where am I going wrong?
.htaccess
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^id/([A-Za-z0-9]+)$ test.php?id=$1 [L]
Your rewrite rule looks right for me.
Maybe your css gets loaded from a relative path and not absolute ?
<link href="css/layout.css">
The browser try to load from example.com/id/css/layout.css instead of example.com/css/layout.css
Try to clear the cache and retry ! This usually works.Or set the root path correctly.
If these won't work try this,
If you want to use image tag and show to correctly images, use
" />

Problems with Apache mod_rewrite

I decided to use mod_rewrite to make my URLs look better. I created very simple rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(profile|contact|help|events|account|logout)/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^home/?$ index.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^PlaceOrder/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?p=mos&gc=$1 [NC]
It almost works well but it doesn't. So for example, [NC] is supposed to make it case-insensitive. However, for some reason, when I type for example localhost/Help in the browser, for some strange reason, it redirects to home page.
Another issue is with the last rule. If I type in localhost/PlaceOrder/1 it works as expected and opens index?p=mos&gc=1. But after that if I click on, for example, Account button, the browser uses this URL: localhost/PlaceOrder/account. Which is wrong. It should only use localhost/account. Why is it adding that sub-directory in there? It is only happening after the last rule is used. Prior to using the last rule, all links work well.
I'm going to guess that the localhost/Help isn't because of the rules and because of something in your index.php script. There's nothing those rules do that could possibly rewrite Help to the home page.
The second issue is a matter of a relative vs absolute URL issue. You're probably using relative links in your pages and because you've changed your relative URL base (which would be /PlaceOrder/ all relative links will have that prepended to it. You need to either change all your links to absolute URLs (they'd start with a /) or add this to your page's header:
<base href="/" />

mod_rewriter change my url

I have some problems with mod_rewrited at .httacess.
We have created a website, the website links have this sctructure.
www.myweb.com/page.php?title=this-is-the-title&filmID=454122
AND
www.myweb.com/video.php?title=this-is-the-title&filmID=2567971&player=veevr
AND
www.myweb.com/gallery/index.php?galeriID=11
is possible to change this structure to:
www.myweb.com/page/this-is-the-title/454122.html
www.myweb.com/video/this-is-the-title/454122/veevr.html
www.myweb.com/gallery/index/11.html
Any help will be really great
Thank you for reading the post!

In your .htaccess file in your web root folder put the following code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page/([^/.]+)/([0-9]+).html/?$ page.php?title=$1&filmID=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^video/([^/.]+)/([0-9]+)/([^/.]+).html/?$ video.php?title=$1&filmID=$2&player=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^gallery/index/([0-9]+).html/?$ gallery/index.php?galeriID=$1 [L]
What this does is mask the url /page/something/12345.html to page.php?title=something&filmID=12345. It masks it, so when you go to the first URL it still looks like the first URL in the address bar but is really at the second URL. Simple tutorial on how this works is here: http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php
The server will think you are in the folder /page/something/ so if your CSS, images and hyperlinks are locally relative links they will not work, e.g. it will look in /page/something/yourimage.png for an image linked to like this <img src='yourimage.png'/>. To get it to work as you'd like it to, you'll need to put a forward slash before all your links to make it relative to your website's root folder like this <img src='/yourimage.png'/>.

Use mod_rewrite to change directories to variables... does this work?

If I have a link, for example: dashboard/xyz/fff/ and I use modrewrite to change it to dashboard/?loc=xyz&action=fff when the page loads are loc and action available as variables to use?
If so, then here's a specific example I can't seem to get to work. My rule as it sits:
RewriteRule ^getclients/([a-z\-]+)$ /dashboard/?action=getclients&module=$1
And the link that is sending them to that url:
<li>SEO Analysis</li>
I want now to be at .com/dashboard/?action=getclients&module=$1 and use those variables to load the page content that's needed.
However: Now the page redirects to what I believe is the "right page" but the CSS is all broken. I only have plain text. Feel free to suggest another way to achieve the same effect as well perhaps using jQuery and Ajax or something to load up sections of the site.
Thanks!
If you don't want to use absolute paths, you can try rewriting the requests for images, javascript, and css. Maybe something like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(js|css|png|jpe?g|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^getclients/(.+)$ /dashboard/$1 [L]
Make sure that the file locations are exact, or the server might send the data from the wrong relative directory.
For loading css, images, js files properly from a different relative path you should specify a base URL for all relative URLs on a page like this:
<base href="http://www.example.com/dashboard/" />
