I've got most of the rewrites I need working but I can't get the second part working with 2 variables, here is my code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ entity.php?vanityName=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /entity.php?vanityName=$1§ion=$2 [L]
The last bit needs to allow, for example, http://example.com/vanityName/Section however it doesn't pass the section variable.
How can I fix this while retaining the current rewrites?
How can I get it so it works for /vanityName, /vanityName/section but allows me to keep other directories free of rewriting, like /includes/?
You can add an extra rule for every directory you don't want to rewrite:
RewriteRule directoryName/? - [L]
If you write these rules directly after RewriteBase /, no other rules will be checked.

I am trying to create an htaccess script that will create directories for either zero, one, or two variables.
My file that is being used accepts the following 2 get variables. make and model.
This is a 3 step page. I currently have the page located at at /new.php. This page allows a user to select the first variable (in my case, a vehicle make). By selecting a make on this page the user is taken to /new.php?make=Acura. This page now displays a list of all Acura models. From here, the user can click a model, and they will be directed to /new.php?make=Acura&model=TLX. They can now choose a submodel and will be taken to an information page.
So I'm trying to get:
new.php to go to /new/
new.php?make=XMake to go to /new/XMake/
and new.php?make=XMake&model=XModel to go to /new/XMake/XModel/
This is as far as I have gotten with my code:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^new/(.*)$ new.php?make=$1 [L,NC]
However any variables I add after this seem to break the first directory? Why is this?
You can use these rules in your site root .htaccess:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^new/([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)/?$ new.php?make=$1&model=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^new/([\w-]+)/?$ new.php?make=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^new/?$ new.php [L,NC]
The order of the rules is important. With this rule at the beginning, any request /new/, /new/XMake or /new/XMake/XModel/ matches, and the following rules are ignored.
To match the other rules, the more specific must come first, e.g.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^new/(.+?)/(.+)$ new.php?make=$1&model=$2 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^new/(.+)$ new.php?make=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^new/$ new.php [L,NC]
This is my htaccess code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/typo3$ - [L] RewriteRule ^/typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* /index.php
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=$1 [L,R=301]
Obviously I want this URL:
www.example.com/username
to be translated to http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=username
This does not work however.. (this code results in the htaccess not working at all and getting a Page not found error.
If I change the ]+$ for a ]+? the code does work, but not like I want:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/typo3$ - [L] RewriteRule ^/typo3/.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule .* /index.php
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)? http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=$1 [L,R=301]
Results in the URL being rewritten/redirected to http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=index ... Exactly like that, so with user=index.
Now, if I remove the RewriteRule .* /index.php line, the htaccess again doesn't work at all anymore, resulting in a Page not found error...
I've spent days and days on figuring this out but I'm absolutely clueless..
So, I just want www.example.com/username to redirect to http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=username
There are several issues here.
Inside a .htaccess file, patterns are matched "against the filesystem path, after removing the prefix". This means, you will have no leading slash as in /typo3 or ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)?
The pattern ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)? matches also an empty request, because of the trailing ?. I guess, this is not what you intended.
Rules are processed in sequence, unless you do a redirect [R] or add an [L] flag. This is the reason why first the request is rewritten to index.php and then in the next rule index is recognized as the user and again rewritten to .../index.php?id=82&user=index
Which leads to the next problem between the patterns .* and ([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+). .* recognizes all requests, including every user. So there is no way to distinguish between a user and any other request.
To rewrite usernames, you could try
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) http://www.example.com/index.php?id=82&user=$1 [L]
This means, if the request doesn't correspond to an existing file !-f or directory !-d, then presume it's a username and rewrite to index.php?....
If you don't want a redirect, leave out the host name
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+) /index.php?id=82&user=$1 [L]
I'm trying to create shorter urls to some of my pages.
Previously I had a system that URLs were like /index.php?m=page&title=Page-Title
The piece of code I have now allows me to remove the everything 'm=' part. /index.php?m=page in here, the 'page' is a name of different modules, so this part might still change. I want to change the url only from 'page'.
How would I rewrite this so that my URL would be composed only as such:
/page=Page-Title
Would that be even possible since I'm using $_GET in 2 places?
My current .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/?p=$1 [L]
You can have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page=([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?p=page&t=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/?p=$1 [L,QSA]
I am building a clean url system using .htaccess and php.
The main idea is to rewrite everything to index.php and to split the url to segments separated by /.
It works but when I upload it to web server I get an infinite loop error.
My .htaccess file is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
If I get things correctly - the problem is that it redirects index.php to itself but it shouldn't because I have index.php file that handles everything and RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f which should prevent that rewrite.
Could you please help me with this .htaccess - I want it to rewrite everything to index.php and to be as portable as it can be, so I can use it in:
www.mysite.com
www.myothersite.com
or even
www.mysite.com/new/
I also want to redirect something like www.mysite.com/articles/2 to index.php as well as www.mysite.com/articles/it/2 or even www.mysite.com/articles/it/search/searchterm
Here's code taken from Drupal's .htaccess which uses the "clean urls" approach you are trying to achieve.
# Rewrite URLs of the form 'x' to the form 'index.php?q=x'.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
In this case, it appends the clean URL as the "q" querystring parameter. So then your script can detect what content to deliver based on $_GET['q'].
And here's another approach, this one from Wordpress.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
This one specifically looks for requests to index.php and filters them out before doing the redirection.
I'm running in to a mod_rewrite issue where the second rule in my .htaccess file is overriding the first. The .htaccess file in question looks like the one below:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/appname
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /api/v1/(.*)$ api/v1/index.php?rquest=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php
</IfModule>
The issue that I'm seeing is this:
If I go directly to http://example.com/path/appname/api/v1/valid/endpoint the first RewriteRule triggers correctly and I get the result back from the API.
However, say I visit http://example.com/path/appname/app - a page which has been rewritten according to the second RewriteRule. This page makes AJAX requests to the api/v1 page. Those requests are instead directed through the second RewriteRule and send to my base index.php page.
I'm confused on how this could be, as my understanding is that the [L] flag prevents any further rules from being run once it matches and thus once any request that has 'api/v1' in it should catch that and stop checking for any further matches. What do I need to change in order for this to work correctly?
Thanks!
You should exclude the segment path for the previous rule-set, so it is not processed again. Like this:
# Don't redirect/map when folders or files exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Exclude the previous path
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !api/v1/? [NC]
# Prevent loops
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Replace the last 4 lines in you question with the above lines.
