I've been searching the whole evening for a solution/approach for my problem with my .htaccess file.
Basically I have www.site.com with a .htaccess in the www directory with the following content:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/admin)
RewriteRule ^[^_+/]. index.php
It works just fine and allows www.site.com/en/articles/Interesting_title/3 to be parsed by index.php which reads which controller, language and what article to display.
However I'd like for the admin system to work the same way. www.site.com/admin should have an .htaccess files that allow me to write URL's this way.
www.site.com/admin/en/articles/article_title/3 should allow me to edit article number 3 using en english UI.
Dumping $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in the first case gives "en/articles/Interesting_title/3"
Dumping $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in the second case gives "admin/en/articles/article_title/3"
If I at a later point choose to move administration to www.site.com/shassooo I would like to avoid changing any code other then the .htaccess files.
Cheers
Append this line in the same .htaccess file you have, not under admin sub directory:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin/index.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^admin/[^_+/]. /admin/index.php [L,NC]

I have a WordPress installation in my main folder, so my site goes like
www.example.com
Besides that I have a subfolder with a separate static site that you can access with
www.example.com/special
So in the special pages I have a page called
www.example.com/special/my-special-page
It's actually a .php file, but I've removed the extensions in the .htaccess file of that special site with this
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
And this works.
But my client said: I want, when I enter
www.example.com/myawardspage
to go to
www.example.com/special/my-special-page
but to have the above URL (without /special/my-special-page) in it. So in the main .htaccess file (the one that controls the WordPress) I've added
RewriteRule ^myawardspage?$ http://www.example.com/special/my-special-page [NC,L]
So now when you go to
www.example.com/myawardspage
I am redirected to
www.example.com/special/my-special-page
which is great, but I need the URL to look like
www.example.com/myawardspage
So in the .htaccess file of the special page I've added
RewriteRule ^myawardspage/?$ /special/my-special-page [NC]
But the URL remains the same (http://www.example.com/special/my-special-page).
What am I doing wrong here?
Just below RewriteEngine on, place the following lines in your /.htaccess (document root) file:
# Check if the file being requested exists
# in the 'special' directory
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/special/$1.php -f
# If so, then rewrite accordingly:
RewriteRule ^([^.]+) special/$1.php [L]
Using this method means that you don't need that rule in the special/.htaccess file - you can safely remove it.
Ok, so you mean when ever you want to hit www.example.com/myawardspage then you want to get data from www.example.com/special/my-special-page while in your address bar your address remains www.example.com/myawardspage To achieve this apply this rule in your WordPress installation's .htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^myawardspage/?$ www.example.com/special/my-special-page [NC,L] # Handle requests for "www.example.com/special/my-special-page"
It wil get you desired data and your problem will be solved. Let me know if that works for you.
I have a uri: www.domain.com/leasing/properties/
Within that directory, I created a file .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?uri=$1 [L,QSA]
What I want, is that regardless of that users type after properties/ (Ej. www.domain.com/leasing/properties/somethigelse/I-do-not.care/what##$%they\type) to be handled by www.domain.com/leasing/properties/index.php
I do not need structure or anything else. index.php will grab $_REQUEST['uri'] and check against a database. So, again, I do not care what's typed after www.domain.com/leasing/properties/ so long index.php can get the URI and handle an action according to $_REQUEST['uri']
I want the address bar to not not change. Whatever a user types, to remain the same.
The current file is giving me a 404 error.
PS. I know close to nothing about Apache .htaccess
Create a .htaccess file with the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)(.*)$ /leasing/properties/ [R]
And place it within /leasing/properties/ folder.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/leasing/properties/(.*)$ /leasing/properties/index.php [L,QSA]
If that does not work, your Apache server may not be configured to allow .htaccess files.
I have a question about using multiple .htaccess files - I couldn't find the answer to this after looking elsewhere on stackoverflow, so I hope you guys can help.
I currently have one .htaccess file in the root of my site, which performs a simple url rewrite:
Options -MultiViews
# CheckSpelling off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
I'm currently working on the second phase of development of this site, and I've made a replica in a subfolder (e.g. www.abcdef.com/new/). The trouble is, at the moment if I click a link on this replica site, it redirects me to the root, original page, whereas I want it to go to the equivalent page in the new/ folder. I've put another .htaccess file in this new/ folder, which however doesn't have any noticeable effect:
Options -MultiViews
# CheckSpelling off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /new/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /new/index.php?url=$1 [L]
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
So my question is: is it permissible to have another .htaccess file in a subfolder like this? And if so, why aren't the above lines working?
Thanks in advance for any ideas on this!
It's possible to have multiple .htaccess files, and the system is designed to work the way you want it to.
You're setting RewriteBase, which explicitly sets the base URL-path (not filesystem directory path!) for per-directory rewrites.
So it seems like your requests would be rewritten to /new/new/index.php, a path and directory which probably doesn't exist on your filesystem (thus not meeting your RewriteConds) and such is being redirected to your /index.php 404.
As a test, perhaps try changing the ErrorDocument to:
ErrorDocument 404 /new/index.php
If you see rewritten calls go to this then it might indeed be your RewriteBase.
You say
The trouble is, at the moment if I click a link on this replica site,
it redirects me to the root, original page, whereas I want it to go to
the equivalent page in the new/ folder.
Could it be that you are using absolute links in your pages and not relative ones? For instance if a link looks like "/sample", when in your main site it will link to http://.../sample and the same is true if the link is inside a page under "/new/". If you'd use just "sample" then that would resolve as http://..../sample or http://...../new/sample, depending on the URL of the page.
Having a second htaccess file in a subdirectory shouldn't be an issue, and as far as I can tell, your two look okay.
Are you sure the links in the site are correct? (ex, they are /new/foo, not just /foo)?
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/$1 [QSA,L]
This takes all non-existent files/folders and sends them to the yii script with initial url appended. QSA appends any query string that may be present in the initial url.
You didn't mention if you configured Yii's Url Manager for clean URLs. You need to, otherwise Yii expects the "route" to appear as a GET param named "r". If you didn't, consult this section of the definitive guide
You dont need to edit .htaccess. You just need to move the Yii entry script (index.php) and the default .htaccess up from the subdirectory to the webroot (so that they reside directly under public_html). Once you move index.php and .htaccess to the root directory, all web requests will be routed directly to index.php (rather than to the subdirectory), thus eliminating the /subdirectory part of the url.
After you move the files, you will need to edit index.php to update the references to the yii.php file (under the Yii framework directory) as well as the Yii config file (main.php). Lastly, you will need to move the assets directory to directly the webroot, since by default, Yii expects the assets directory to be located in the same location as the entry script).
That should be all you need to do, but if you need more details, I describe the approach fully here:
http://muhammadatt.tumblr.com/post/83149364519/modifying-a-yii-application-to-run-from-a-subdirectory
I also didn't update the .htaccess file, easier to modify the httpd.conf virtual host for the subdomain and change the DocumentRoot to point to your yii folder.
I would like to take requests for /somefolder/style.css and handle them with /somefolder/program.php
So, I put the following in my .htaccess file:
rewriteengine on
rewriterule ^style.css$ program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
The result is that instead of redirecting to /somefolder/program.php, the server tries to redirect to:
/var/www/html/somefolder/program.php?css=1
How can I get rid of the /var/www/html/ in the redirect? I thought that since I just entered program.php in the .htaccess that it would default to the same folder.
Since this is a generic script that I will use in many places, I would like to avoid using rewritebase to specify the folder I'm in -- the .htaccess has to work in any folder without being modified.
Leave the R flag away and you will get an internal redirect:
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ program.php?css=1 [L]
Otherwise specify the full URL path you want to redirect to externally:
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ /program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
Or for any arbitrary folder:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*)/style\.css$
RewriteRule ^style\.css$ %1/program.php?css=1 [R=302,L]
I think the problem is that you are missing a ReWrite base statement.
Also the I would put the .htaccess file in the root directory of your site. That way you don't have to copy an .htacess file into every new directory you create. What if you want to change the name of your php file? You'd have to change every .htaccess file.
This is how I would redirect www.mydomain.com/orange/style.css to www.mydomain.com/orange/program.php?css=1 using generic rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)/style\.css$ $1/program.php?css=1 [L]
