I have a normal php script which I want to use in a CakePHP application (created by a previous developer). I have made a folder in my CakePHP webroot folder:
Httpdocs -> app -> webroot -> folderx
Is it possible to run a standalone script in this folder?
Also, my script takes in an id, for example www.domain.com/folderx/index.php?id=123 and draws the information (ex name of the product) from the DB. However, I wish to rewrite the URL to:
www.domain.com/folderx/name-of-the-product. Is this possible at all?
The webroot already has an .htaccess file which handles the CakePHP rewrites. Would I be able to use a new .htaccess file with the rewrite instructions in www.domain.com/folderx/ for my standalone script.
You need to modify the existing rewrite rules to not rewrite requests that include /folderx/ to CakePHP. If you need help with that and the mod_rewrite manual isn't enough, share your rewrite rules.
By default, your htaccess, in webroot, must contain:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
In this case, all the folders and files in the webroot should open normally

I have requests coming to my server already. I want to v2 out my API calls.
Currently I have the directory /v2/ and within that I have index.php
If I call /v2/index.php?path=users/123 I get the right data back from my database. All is well.
But to standardize my code, I want to redirect /v2/users/123 to /v2/index.php?path=users/123
I have mod_rewrite loaded in Apache, tested with phpinfo(). I am not sure whether I need to place my .htaccess within the v2 directory or at root. I do not have any .htaccess in root today, and I do not want to modify any calls not made to /v2/.
Any pointers where to place the .htaccess file and the right conditions to do so?
My current file is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /v2/index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
I have put it in the /v2/.htaccess directory, but navigating ahead of /v2 yields 404 errors.
Thanks!
I'm on a 1and1 shared server containing my other websites.
In the Root I have an HTAccess file Rewriting a photo viewing php file with an ID as a parameter.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/d]+)\.html?$ /photography/albums/viewphoto.php?id=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
Example:
Current URL:
http://www.example.com/photography/albums/viewphoto.php?id=C01-A01-P01
Desired URL:
http://www.example.com/C01-A01-P01.html
All works for the rewrite of the URLs, but the html files located in the root have stopped including my PHP code functions and variables held in an .inc file.
Am I missing something in making the rewrite specific to a single file or is an option missing on the rewrite?
You need to use a RewriteCond to exclude existing files from the Rewrite ,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)\.html?$ /photography/albums/viewphoto.php?id=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
I have this web api project which is developed by other company. The file structure is:
/project
---/app
---/ApiEndpoint.php
---/public
---/index.php
The DocumentRoot is pointing to /project/public. The index.php is working (http://myapi.com/), however when I try to browse into the api endpoint http://myapi.com/api/endpoint I got 404 error.
How do I configure the .htaccess to rewrite this condition?
/project/public/.htaccess config
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
</IfModule>
The current configuration is there to make sure every request go to index.php (that is probably dispatching requests in some way) except for the files that actually are in the public directory (probably needed for static files like images, and such).
If you wrote a php yourself to be directly called by http://myapi.com/api/endpoint, you should put it in /project/app/public/api/endpoint/index.php.
BUT I suspect you should study that application more and understand the current dispatching method, before doing that.
I feel like this is a rather common request, but I am too confused about .htaccess and couldn't find a solution by Google.
I have a Laravel instance in a subdirectory of the Apache2 htdocs. Now I would like to invisibly redirect all requests from the root domain to this folder (it should be the "root" website). But the tricky thing is, this is not the only folder, there are other folders directly in the htdocs, which should be reached normally. Just the "root" website is not in the root but also in a subfolder. For example:
https://domainA.com should load https://domainA.com/laravel/public (including possible query string or parameters, but invisibly for the user)
https://domainA.com/websiteB should be served as it is
https://domainA.com/websiteC should be served as it is
...
I assume, part of this solution will be to list all the websiteB, websiteC directories in the .htaccess, would it be possible to automate this?
Thanks in advance!
You can put a .htaccess in the folder you want to custom controle but you have to create some filter condition
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
## RewriteBase /foo
## conditions to tell what to redirect ie on URI
## RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/a-folder/
## not websiteB or websiteC
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/websiteB/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/websiteC/
## if the file does not exist call index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ my/path/to/a/script.php [L]
</IfModule>
After you have to do something special in script.php for those HTTP calls
You can also rewrite the URI and pass it again to apache but things can be complicated after...
I have looked at several examples of htaccess configs for websites within sub-directories, and tried most of them without 100% success.
My setup is:
using Yii framework
htaccess at public_html/.htaccess
site located inside public_html/mysite directory
index handling all requests located at public_html/mysite/frontend/www/index.php
The status of the URLs:
www.mysite.com works fine [ok]
www.mysite.com/controller/action shows me the homepage [wrong]
www.mysite.com/mysite/frontend/www/controller/action works fine [wrong, the item above should work instead]
My .htaccess at the moment looks like this:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53s .php .html
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mysite.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mysite/frontend/www
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ /mysite/frontend/www/index.php [L]
I have tried everything, but I have no idea why www.mysite.com/controller/action won't work :(
Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!
I found the answer to this similar question to be helpful. Here is how my rewrite rules ended up:
#Forward all non-existent files/directories to Yii
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) subdir/index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
This takes all non-existent files/folders and sends them to the yii script with initial url appended. QSA appends any query string that may be present in the initial url.
You didn't mention if you configured Yii's Url Manager for clean URLs. You need to, otherwise Yii expects the "route" to appear as a GET param named "r". If you didn't, consult this section of the definitive guide
You dont need to edit .htaccess. You just need to move the Yii entry script (index.php) and the default .htaccess up from the subdirectory to the webroot (so that they reside directly under public_html). Once you move index.php and .htaccess to the root directory, all web requests will be routed directly to index.php (rather than to the subdirectory), thus eliminating the /subdirectory part of the url.
After you move the files, you will need to edit index.php to update the references to the yii.php file (under the Yii framework directory) as well as the Yii config file (main.php). Lastly, you will need to move the assets directory to directly the webroot, since by default, Yii expects the assets directory to be located in the same location as the entry script).
That should be all you need to do, but if you need more details, I describe the approach fully here:
http://muhammadatt.tumblr.com/post/83149364519/modifying-a-yii-application-to-run-from-a-subdirectory
I also didn't update the .htaccess file, easier to modify the httpd.conf virtual host for the subdomain and change the DocumentRoot to point to your yii folder.
