I need to redirect mywebsite.com/admin to mywebsite.com/login.php, but the url in browser should stay mywebsite.com/admin. I use this rewrite rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /admin$ [NC]
RewriteRule admin login.php [NC,L]
But it won't work because I have "admin" folder in my website root folder. It keeps entering the folder and listing files. When I delete "admin" folder, it works like a charm.
Seems that this message board is only for simple, dumb questions... Every time I've asked something complicated, no one answered. I'm wondering if there's even one expert participating in these discussions...

I am working on a site, which is built with CodeIgniter.
I have never used the framework before...I've learnt a little bit in the last couple days but really cannot solve my problem.
I have downloaded the site and I want to upload it to my own domain so not to make changes to the live site before testing.
the original site is example.com.
I want to upload it to mysites.com/examplesite (this will be the base - I use this domain for all my clients' test sites).
I have moved all the files and the database is in place.
I have found the database configuration file and have successfully edited it.
I am having trouble getting the site to work, I think it must be because of the site now being down a directory level.
I have edited $config['base_url'] so that it is correct...I am pretty sure it is correct because I can now reach the homepage where I couldn't before editing that variable. But, i can only reach the homepage - when I click on a link to another page, I get 500 error Internal server error.
Does anyone have a quick fix for me?
Thanks!
Keep this code on your project's root .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /examplesite/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I must admit, mod_rewrites are still a bit of black magic for me and I try to stay well away from them unless I really, really need to us them, now I do!
I've just migrated my site to become a multi lingual site and in doing so I've made the following change to the structure.
oldwebsite.net/somefile.php >> newwebsite.com/xx/somefile.php
oldwebsite.net/somefolder/somefile.php >> newwebsite.com/xx/somefolder/somefile.php
Now, I know how to do individual 301 redirects, but I got tons of pages and the new structure hasn't changed the page name so I would like to avoid setting up hundreds of individual 301 redirects, help!!
Thanks,
Mikael
You can put this code in your oldwebsite htaccess (which has to be in root folder)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldwebsite\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newwebsite.com/xx/$1 [R=301,L]
We recently moved a number of static websites from multiple (regional) domains onto a single .com domain which uses Joomla! to serve up content. The new site uses subdirectories and allows uses to navigate between countries. Like this:
newdomain.com/country-name1
newdomain.com/country-name2
newdomain.com/country-name3
We would now like each site to go back to having it’s own domain, but to essentially serve up the same website the user would be seeing by viewing the sub directory (we’ll probably drop the ability to navigate between countries, back that’s largely irrelevant to this post).
How can we do this with as little work as possible to the templates whilst retaining a single Joomla! instance? Has anyone got any experience of similar? I've read some articles but am not sure any of them give the user a true sense of being on a separate domain. I could of course be wrong (tbh, this is a little out of my field of expertise). Spoon-feeding appreciated. :)
You could try mapping the requests to the relevant folders
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?newdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /country-name1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?newdomain\.fr [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /country-name2/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?newdomain\.de [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /country-name3/$1 [L]
That should map a request for
newdomain.com/country-name1/somepage to newdomain.com/somepage
newdomain.com/country-name2/page to newdomain.fr/page
etc
Obviously you'd also have to make all domain names resolve to the same folder.
So, lately I've been dealing with an issue relating to mod_rewrite and it seems nobody is trying to do anything like it. Every question people have is about trying to exclude directories from the rewrite, when I want them to be included like any other.
For instance, assuming my root directory with .htaccess file in it is www.example.com/root/
When I type in made up directory, such as www.example.com/root/asdfasdf, I have my .htaccess file set to redirect me to www.example.com/root/index.php?url=asdfasdf without change what's in the address bar on my browser
However, in trying to do the same with a real directory, such as www.example.com/root/admin, it not only changes the url in the address bar but changes it to www.example.com/root/admin/?url=admin.
Can anyone explain to me what's going on. I've tried all kinds of different regular expressions and flags and the ones that redirect anything still cause this same issue. can I go to www.example.com/root/admin and still get redirected to the root folder while hiding that the query string is ?url=admin.
[UPDATE: additional information 11-30-2012]
Like I said, I've tried it will multiple different lines of code and come out with the exact same redirect issue, assuming the redirect doesn't just fail altogether and produce a 500 error. Here's one of my latest iterations, though, which has produced the issue of not ignoring direcotories.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /root/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(.\*\\.("png"|"jpg"|"gif") [NC]
RewriteRule (.\*?) index.php?url=$1 [QSA]
The rewrite condition is to keep the engine from rewriting if a picture is being requested (for css and img tags). I only didn't mention it previously because I have tried removing that line and it has made no difference.
I'm not exactly a master of mod_rewrite, though, so if you see any errors with anything I've written, please feel free to let me know.
It's not entirely clear from your question what you are trying to do and it would have been helpful to see what your .htaccess file actually looked like. However the following lines in an .htaccess file in the root folder:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/root/index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) /root/index.php?url=$1 [L]
Will silently redirect requests made to http://www.example.com/root/madeupfolder/madeupfile.php to http://www.example.com/root/index.php?url=madeupfolder/madeupfile.php and will also do the same for real folders. So if the folder admin exists under root, then requests to http://www.example.com/root/admin will be silently redirected to http://www.example.com/root/index.php?url=admin
If however you wanted to serve up folders and files that actually exist, but rewrite requests for folders and files that do not exist, then you would need to adjust the rewrite like so
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/root/index\.php
RewriteRule (.*) /root/index.php?url=$1 [R=301]
This would still rewrite requests made to http://www.example.com/root/madeupfolder/madeupfile.php to http://www.example.com/root/index.php?url=madeupfolder/madeupfile.php, but for real folders and files, such as requests made to http://www.example.com/root/admin, the admin folder would be served up.
Hope this helps, but if you can clarify your question a bit then I can try and help again.
i'm already asked similar question month ago and dt recieve solution for my situation.
But now i have one important notice for this problem.
i'm running site on local web server. Path of site is http://ikot.
And when i enter adress like "ikot/news" - it's ok
but when i enter ikot/media, it transforms to "http://ikot/media/?level[0]=media&depth=1"
my rewrite rules in htaccess:
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)[/]?$ /index.php?level[0]=$1&depth=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)[/]?$ /index.php?level[0]=$1&level[1]=$2&depth=2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)[/]?$ /index.php?level[0]=$1&level[1]=$2&level[2]=$3&depth=3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z_-]+)[/]?$ /index.php?level[0]=$1&level[1]=$2&level[2]=$3&level[3]=$4&depth=4 [L,QSA]
the reason of this transformation (ikot/media to ikot/media/[garbage] path) is that i have "media" folder at my site's root folder. And maybe rewrite rule somehow considers, that i want to enter this folder or something like that (but ikot/media leads to media page of site, not to contents of media folder).
Help me pls with this situation.
Thanks
Please try switching off DirectorySlash. It looks that mod_dir changes yours url and rewrite doesn't work in way you want (first mod rewrite changes it to index.php?... and next mod dir redirects to /media/?... - or something like that).
Adding "DirectorySlash Off" to .htaccess works for me.
If it helps, please read carefully "Security Warning" on that page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_dir.html
