I'm trying to work out why this doesn't work:
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)-more([0-9]+).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1;nh=$2 [P,L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.*).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1 [P,L]
Example usage:
http://foo.com/search/test.html
http://foo.com/search/test-more-2.html
http://foo.com/search/test%20extra.html
http://foo.com/search/test%20extra-more-2.html
The first 2 work fine - test gets passed along to the query param.
However, on the 2nd one - it gets cutoff at %20 ... so instead of passing test%20extra, all it passes is test
I've compared a similar rule I'm using on another server, and it works fine with (.*) as the selector... so I'm not sure whats different here!
Any suggestions?
Argh... I got it! It wanted NC,L and not P,L as the flags. So:
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)-more([0-9]+).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1;nh=$2 [P,L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.*).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1 [P,L]
Needed to be:
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)-more([0-9]+).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1;nh=$2 [NE,L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.*).html /cgi-bin/search.cgi?bool=and&substring=0&query=$1 [NE,L]

I'm trying to do a very simple rewrite of a query string
http://www.example.com/library.php?q=abscessed-tooth
to
http://www.example.com/library/abscessed-tooth
This is the code that I've written in my .htaccess file and it is doing nothing
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/library/?([^/]*)/?\/http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
Maybe likely .htaccess files are not considered in your environment. If in doubt turn on RewriteLogging as it is explained in the excellent documentation of the rewriting module.
Oh, and check the error log, you have a syntax error in the RewriteRule anyway: RewriteRule takes 2 arguments plus flags, your rule has only a single argument:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^library/([^/]*) http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
You need dollar sign in the end of "left" part not question mark:
^/library/([^/]*)/$ http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
Also do you need the question mark between / and ( ? It doesn't look like lookahead or lookbehind?
Try without wrapping slashes as well
^library/([^/]*)$ http://www.example.com/library.php?q=$1 [L]
:-)
I need a .htaccess RewriteRule that can do this:
If the browser load this url path:
http://www.domain.com/example/word_to_change/
change to
http://www.domain.com/example/new_word/
take a look that the "word_to_change" and "new_word" appears in the third level in the path
I was tried this:
RewriteRule ^(word_to_change/)?$ /new_word/ [R,L]
But only works if the "word_to_change" appears in the second level, not in the third.
thanks for your help! :)
ADDED:
three examples:
need to change
http://www.domain.com/second_level_with_any_word/specific_word_1 or
http://www.domain.com/example_1/specific_word_1 or
http://www.domain.com/example_2/specific_word_1
to
http://www.domain.com/second_level_anything/specific_word_2 or
http://www.domain.com/example_1/specific_word_2 or
http://www.domain.com/example_2/specific_word_2
maybe is mor simple for explain with this other example:
http://*/*/specific_word1
for
http://*/*/specific_word2
This depends on what to acomplish, if you want to change ANY word that apeaers after example with a SPECIFIC word then what you need is:
RewriteRule ^example/(.*) /new_path/ [R,L]
if you want to pass that word as a paramater you can use
RewriteRule ^example/(.*) /new_path/process.php?word=$1 [R,L]
if you want to send any URL that ends with a specific word try this
RewriteRule ^(.*)/old_word/$ /$1/new_word/ [R,L]
I have a CI application that uses .htaccess for URL routing. My basic setup is as follow:
RewriteRule ^$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|img|css|js|swf|type|themes|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|sitemap\.xml)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php/$1 [L]
These rules are pretty standard for CI apps. They rewrite all URLs (except for those in the exception list) to the index.php front controller. The lines above also hide index.php, as it would normally appear as part of every URL.
So far, so good. Everything works just fine. Now, for the sake of SEO I would like to force all traffic to www. So I extended the rules as follow:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|img|css|js|swf|type|themes|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|sitemap\.xml)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php/$1 [L]
rewritecond %{http_host} ^jungledragon.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.jungledragon.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
These last two lines rewrite http://jungledragon.com/anything URLs to http://www.jungledragon.com/anything URLs. This kind of works, but it brings back the index.php part back: http://jungledragon.com/anything becomes http://www.jungledragon.com/index.php/anything.
How exactly do I combine these rules so that they do not interfere with each other? I tried doing the WWW rewrite before the CI rules. That shows an Apache 301 page with an error, rather than doing the actual redirect.
Additionally, I would like to also include rules to get rid of trailing slashes, but for now let's keep the question simple. Note that I did find useful post here and elsewhere yet for some reason I still can't find the correct exact syntax for my situation.
Edit: Thanks for the help. This works:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^jungledragon.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.jungledragon.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]
RewriteRule ^$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php [L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|img|css|js|swf|type|themes|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|sitemap\.xml)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/html/ferdy/jungledragon/index.php/$1 [L]
mod_rewrite processes rules in a linear fashion. Rules at the top of the file are processed first.
The [nc] and [L] at the end of the rules are the options for how to process rules.
nc - nocase: case insensative
L - last: last rule in the execution (if you hit this, stop processing)
You need to put your www redirect rules above your CI rules so it will first add the www, THEN apply the CI rules to the newly re-written url. **And also use either the C or N flag with your www redirect rule so it will parse the next rule.
http://mysite.com/blah ==becomes==> http://www.mysite.com/blah ==becomes==> http://www.mysite.com/index.php/blah (Executed, not redirected)
What's happening currently is:
http://mysite.com/blah ==becomes==> http://mysite.com/index.php/blah (STOP)
Browser goes to http://mysite.com/index.php/blah and a second re-write pass is done since your exceptions stop /index.php urls from being processed
http://mysite.com/index.php/blah ==becomes==> http://www.mysite.com/index.php/blah (Redirected)
As Suggested, here is a link to mod_rewrite's documentation if you want to look further.
#LazyOne: Brainfart, sorry.
Here's an excerpt from the docs outlining the flags you'll probably need:
'chain|C' (chained with next rule)
This flag chains the current rule with the next rule (which itself can be chained with the following rule, and so on). This has the following effect: if a rule matches, then processing continues as usual - the flag has no effect. If the rule does not match, then all following chained rules are skipped. For instance, it can be used to remove the .www'' part, inside a per-directory rule set, when you let an external redirect happen (where the.www'' part should not occur!).
'next|N' (next round)
Re-run the rewriting process (starting again with the first rewriting rule). This time, the URL to match is no longer the original URL, but rather the URL returned by the last rewriting rule. This corresponds to the Perl next command or the continue command in C. Use this flag to restart the rewriting process - to immediately go to the top of the loop.
Be careful not to create an infinite loop!
'nocase|NC' (no case)
This makes the Pattern case-insensitive, ignoring difference between 'A-Z' and 'a-z' when Pattern is matched against the current URL.
'noescape|NE' (no URI escaping of output)
This flag prevents mod_rewrite from applying the usual URI escaping rules to the result of a rewrite. Ordinarily, special characters (such as '%', '$', ';', and so on) will be escaped into their hexcode equivalents ('%25', '%24', and '%3B', respectively); this flag prevents this from happening. This allows percent symbols to appear in the output, as in
Any Ideas how to change remove .html in this mod-rewrite script
Doesnt work if I remove ".html"
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /userprofile.php?member_id=$1 [L]
Works as
http://site.com/12.html
but wants to have it as
http://site.com/12
Thank you
To make the .html optional, put it in a group and use the ? quantifier:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)(\.html)?$ /userprofile.php?member_id=$1 [L]
But as this pattern will now also match any single path segment, you should make it more specific to only match your specific URL path pattern. In this case \d+ instead of [^/]* would be a better choice:
RewriteRule ^(\d+)(\.html)?$ /userprofile.php?member_id=$1 [L]
MODIFIED:
I have tested the following and they work on a CentOS server running Apache.
For directory rewriting:
RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)$ http://www.google.com [L,R]
That will redirect http://www.site.com/test to http://www.google.com.
For all files in a directory this will work:
RewriteRule ^/test/([^/]*)(.*)$ http://www.google.com [L,R]
That will redirect www.site.com/test/12.html or www.site.com/test/298.aspx or any other file in the "test" directory to www.google.com.
So this may be more what you are looking for:
RewriteRule ^/12/([^/]*)(.*)$ /userprofile.php?member_id=$1 [L,R]
ORIGINAL POST:
I believe this is what you are looking for:
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)(.*)$ /userprofile.php?member_id=$1 [L]
That is if you are trying to do the rewrite for files...
It will be slightly different if you want to do the rewrite against a directory.
You need to remove the backslash as well ("\.html").
I have an application most of it is still in development that's why i need to block access on all pages but just not two of them.
Suppose i have a.php all requests will be redirected to here except b.php.
So i think there should be 3 rules:
1st: when a.php and b.php are requested they should be visible to user,
2nd: if anything other than those two is requested,
it should be redirected to a.php.
3rd: for external css,javascript and image files
there should be an access rule
Since i dont have much experience with server administration, i believe i'm totally lost:)
This is what i tried:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/b.php
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ a.php
In practice you would swap the second and third rule as your second rule would be the default route:
# 1st
RewriteRule ^(a\.php|b\.php)$ - [L]
# 3rd
RewriteRule \.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ - [L]
# 2nd
RewriteRule !^a\.php$ a.php [L]
The subsitution - means that the URI is not changed.
I am not sure what you means about #3 but see from what you are trying, I guess you means, all js,ico,... are to be redirect to a.php. Is that right?
If so, that means, a => a.php (with parameter), b => b.php (with parameter) and other => a.php. So try this:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^a\.php(.*) /a.php$1
RewriteRule ^b\.php(.*) /b.php$1
RewriteRule ^.* /a.php
But if you means that all those script and media files are to be accessible normally, try this:
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^a\.php(.*) /a.php$1
RewriteRule ^b\.php(.*) /b.php$1
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ /$1.$2
Basically, the rewrite rule is the regular expression and $1,$2,... are match-string group (those wrapped with "(" and ")").
Hope this help.
