i have this rewrite rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
RewriteRule ^(home|contact|about|submit|search)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ /index.php?page=home&cat=$1&slug=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/?$ /index.php?page=home&cat=$1 [L]
What i want is:
if user types something which is not matching last three conditions i want to show a 404 error. At present it loads home page. So i am check $_GET['page'] in there. I donot want to check in php.
do you have anything to improve my rewrite rules or any additions?
please help
Since everything is ultimately routing to index.php (Front-end Controller Pattern), I suggest dropping the the mod_rewrite and using:
FallbackResource /index.php
Then parse the URL in index.php and handle routing accordingly.
This will take some rewriting, but will be more flexible in the long run.
Read more about FallbackResource and Front-Controllers in PHP.
You may use mod rewrite to add argument to your web page index.php, then treating them in the php page possibly sending back a error page (as in cakePHP). that keeps only ONE rule.
RewriteRule ^([0-9A-Za-z]+)/?$ /index.php?argument=$1 [L]
Try to use ErrorDocumentwhit location page
ErrorDocument 404 /erreur_404.html

I'm using .htaccess to re-write some of my URLs for my web application. The following is used to make the user page a little prettier when user_urls (practically a URL friendly username) are passed to it:
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9a-zA-Z-]+) /user?url=$1 [NC,QSA]
When I input the URL http://example.com/user, the page redirects just fine, and the PHP handles the lack of the query string. However, when the server receives the request of http://example.com/user/, it returns a 404 error.
How can I prevent this from happening?
Thanks.
Redirect to the correct URL by prepending a rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
or append /? to your regexp.
You can use these rules in your .htaccess:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/?$ user.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/?$ user.php?url=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
I have a problem (it's probably a simple one but I've never had the need to write regex)
A SEO specialist told me to make pretty URLs so I did with the .htaccess file the CMS provides.
But now he requires me to redirect the old URLs to new ones.
This doesn't work
RewriteRule ^index.php?page=kontakt$ /kontakt.html [R=301,L]
and also this (wich was supposed to redirect to the main page from the index.php file)
RewriteRule ^index.php$ / [R=301,L]
has resulted in sitename.com/?page=kontakt, so now I also have to redirect this.
How do I fix this?
RewriteRule only matches the base URL without the query string. You need an additional RewriteCond for it to work.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=kontakt$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /kontakt.html [R=301,L]
EDIT:
Apparently query string gets preserved in this case, so you're probably getting /kontakt.html?page=kontakt
To discard original query string you need to put ? after URL.
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /kontakt.html? [R=301,L]
I'm working on a website that has been built sloppily.
The website is filled with regular links that are translated into the corresponding .php pages by the .htaccess page.
This is it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)/$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*).html/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ cat.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>
First of all, I would love some help regarding whether or not this page has everything it should. I've never messed with it before.
Secondly and my main issue, if, for example, I would write the address www.thewebsite.com/foobar.html, it would be translated into www.thewebsite.com/cat.php?cat=foobar by the .htaccess page, and it would give a database error (and reveal information about the database).
I've put a check into cat.php which checks if the category exists, but I can't redirect the user to the 404 error page. There's a page called 404.shtml in the website, but redirecting the user to it causes the .htaccess to just change it again to cat.php?cat=404.
Is the way they used the .htaccess page normal? Should I change this system?
And how are users sent to error pages? From what I understood the server should be doing it on its own?
I would love some clarification... There is some much about this subject I don't understand.
Update:
This is my new .htaccess page
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^error.php?err=(.*)$ Error$1.html
# Only apply this rule if we're not requesting a file...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
# ...and if we're not requesting a directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)/$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^koral/(.*)$ page.php?name=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*).html/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ cat.php?cat=$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</IfModule>
Because the redirecting is in the code and the user cannot see it, I allowed myself to write the link in a non-clean way. I tried turning it into a clean URL but the following does not do anything:
RewriteRule ^error.php?err=(.*)$ Error$1.html
Can someone please help me understand why? I thought since error.php is a real page, I should put it before the conditional but it didn't work. BTW, I saw in an article about .htaccess that the page should start with Options +FollowSymLinks. It seems to me that everyone sort of has their own way of writing it. Is there a guide or something like that, which I can be sure is authentic and covers all the bases there is about .htaccess?
Thank you so much!!
Using rewrite rules to work around links to .html pages that don't exist is unusual in my experience, but it's really just a different take on "pretty" URLs, e.g. www.thewebsite.com/foobar/ gets routed to cat.php?cat=foobar on the backend.
Your 404 issue is different. You need to be able to display error pages.
One option here is to rewrite requests as long as they don't request an existing file. This is very common for serving up static content like images, CSS files, and the like. To do this, you can use the -d and -f options to RewriteCond, which apply when requesting a directory and file respectively:
RewriteEngine On
# Only apply this rule if we're not requesting a file...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
# ...and if we're not requesting a directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ cat.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]
Now, requests to 404.shtml should go through, because you're requesting an existing file on the filesystem.
Note that the RewriteConds only apply to the single RewriteRule that immediately follows. For additional RewriteRules, also include additional RewriteConds.
Your regex is wrong anywhere. Literal dot needs to be escaped using otherwise it will match any character. Also it is better to use L and QSA flags to end each rule properly.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^koral/([^/]+)/?$ page.php?name=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/?$ cat.php?cat=$1&page=$2&order=$3&dir=$4 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\.html$ cat.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html$ product.php?cat=$1&product=$2 [L,QSA]
I have some code which uses Rewrite engine in my .htaccess file and it specifies the directory for my SERPs. However when someone goes onto search/QUERY/ rather than search/QUERY/PAGE/ it displays a 404 error. Same with just search/.
I want it so that if someone just goes to search/QUERY/ that it redirects them to search/QUERY/1/ and for just search/ it redirects them to my homepage /. I have included a copy of my code below.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ search.php?q=$1&category=web&d=$2
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance, Callum
Try this code in your htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^search/?$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/?$ /search/$1/1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ search.php?q=$1&category=web&d=$2 [NC,L]
You can create multiple RewriteRule statements to accomplish this. (Make sure to omit the [R] flag on intermediate rules if you use it!)
The rule you posted will only rewrite if it's of the form /search/query/n/, so write a regular expression matching search/query that redirects to /search/query/1. Do the same to redirect home with no query.
Try these additional 2 rules in your .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/$ /search/$1/1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^search/?$ / [R=301,L]
I need help with my mod_rewrite for a site im currently working on.
Let's say I have this site http://example.com
And I want to be able to make any value after the / to route to page.php like below
http://example.com/value1
http://example.com/value2
to point to
http://example.com/page.php?id=value1
http://example.com/page.php?id=value2
,respectively.
But, not route to that page when im pointing to "admin"
http://example.com/admin/
I've tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(admin)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /page.php?id=$1 [L]
But it isn't working. Any thoughts?
$1 is not available at the time of the Condition. I believe what you are looking for is close to:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^admin/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ page.php?id=$1 [L]
this rule causes everything not starting with admin/ to go to /page.php. I don't believe the %{param} is optional. Using RewriteBase / means you do not to have prepend / on /admin and /page.php; it may actually fault if you use /page.php instead of page.php
If you have means of accessing the server values, then the final rule can be:
RewriteRule . page.php [L]
You can find the called url in the REQUEST_URI
This of any help?
