Although being a decent web developer, I and most of my colleagues always struggle with basic tasks when using mod_rewrite.
I read the manuals and understood most of it, however most skills I've learned in life are by doing. The trouble is, there's no easy way to debug the configuration. Most of the time if I succeed at configuring the .htaccess file it's by sheer random luck not by trial and error.
I realize one can read Apache error logs or pass rewriteRule results to GET parameters and present them in say, PHP files, but that's inconvenient and slow.
So, the question. Is there a tool for writing and debugging .htaccess directives? Update: given that questions asking for libraries and similar are frequently closed as out of scope for SO, is there a more general technique for doing this?
You could use our htaccess tester. It allows you to test basic rewrite rules and conditions, we are trying to improve it's functionality over time but it does the job quite well with the current feature set.
unit testing tools won't be of much help here. look for functional testing tools.

i am planning to make web crawler which can crawl 200+ domain, which of the language will be suitable for it. I am quite familiar with PHP but an amateur at Python.
I have built crawlers in both languages. While I personally find it easy to make a crawler in python because of huge number of freely available libraries for html parsing, I would recommend that you go with the language you are most comfortable with. Build a well designed and efficient crawler in a language you know well and you will get even better at that language. There is no feature which can not be implemented in either of the two languages so just make a decision and start working.
Good luck.
You could just try both. Make one in php and one in python. It'll help you learn the language even if you're experienced. Never say no to opportunities to practice.

I recently tried using 000webhost.com as they are free and offer MySQL and PHP. But uploading a cakephp project, results in a 404 error. This is because they don't support mod_rewrite. I would prefer a free webhost, but I am willing to pay too. Does anyone know of a webhost that works with cakephp?
You can turn mod_rewrite off in CakePHP.
Every host that I have used supports mod_rewrite. It is pretty standard, really. If in doubt, email sales and ask before signing up to something. But really, any paid web host should do.
Use HostGator. It costs a penny
As your question already defines, you just need a webhost that supports Apache (PHP) an MySQL.
Search a host that fits to your requirements, and check Google for good companies.
If you want to make sure they support mod_rewrite you can always contact them,
so you have directly and idea of how good their support is.

I've been attempting to understand how MVC applications are structured and have spent time with frameworks like CodeIgniter and Zend making small test websites to play around with. However I'm still unsure if I completely understand how to separate the logic properly since it still seems like it's taking more time than it's saving.
I learn best from looking at well-written code and I have a feeling there are a few talented programmers on SO.
Are there any good "Real World" examples of a PHP MVC application that I could look over? I've made the mistake of not asking about best practices and instead pick up poor coding practices in the past and I want to avoid making such a mistake moving forward.
Thanks SO!
I found this PHP tutorial to be useful when I first wanted to improve my understanding.
I'm writing an open source bugtracker, you might want to have a look. The code may not be 100% neat and clean, but it's mostly better than worse ;). http://code.google.com/p/bugraid/
A pretty good basic Zend example is http://akrabat.com/zend-framework-tutorial/
Or you could just use ZFtool to create a project a very basic program and understand how it is brought together
>zf create project <path> from within the bin directory in your zend download

I am just wondering what PHP OpenID server (some here http://wiki.openid.net/w/page/12995226/Run-your-own-identity-server) you all would recommend from your experiences? Any that I should definitely avoid etc?
Im using a XAMPP setup, and looking for something fairly easy to implement, it doesn't have to be extremely robust or anything, just something fairly simple that will support multiple user registrations (with passwords - I think the Janrain php openID server implementation doesnt support passwords as far as I know)
Many thanks!
I wonder whether the answer is none -- there was this thread on Quora abut the problems with OpenID and the lack of a good server was one of them.
LightOpenID now includes a server as well.
But after playing with it, it is definitely alpha. It is just difficult to sort out what the basic model is, even with the two examples.
Now trying Zend Open ID Provider Classes.

I need a free bug tracker for my small project. I need keep track of bug, todo list and test case. Any suggestion?
Check out mantis http://www.mantisbt.org/
If it's a small project, though, you might want to think about using something with less overhead than a PHP-based system. Are you the only person working on it? A whiteboard and post-it notes might be less upkeep and could ultimately save you time and energy that would be better spent on the project itself.
Redmine is coded in Ruby, but if you can install it, I would highly recommend it.
If you are the only user checkout Task Coach: http://www.taskcoach.org/
It is very easy to use, and works great. Runs on all OS's
Check this, it contains a seeding server included is tested:

How about CandyCane which is port of Redmine into CakePHP.
I wish it can meet your expectation.
