Laravel pretty URL - laravel

I'm going crazy here! I'm trying to learn Laravel and pretty URLs just don't work.
I have enabled mod_rewrite from my apache config file, I have set AllowOverride to All in my user config file and I have the following in my .htaccess file in public folder of Laravel installation:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I enter http://localhost/~user/lara/public/index.php/users it works, but with http://localhost/~user/lara/public/users I get 404 Not Found error
The requested URL /Users/user/Sites/lara/public/index.php/users was not found on this server.
You can see that the redirection works fine, as public/users have turned into public/index.php/users but it says not found, even though when I manually enter public/index.php/users it show me the output.
I have read all the related questions on SO, none of the worked for me!

This is most likely caused by the fact that you are changing the document root during a request. From the looks of your URL (with the ~user segment) you are using mod_userdir or something similar, and what these types of plugins do it allow you to map a given URL prefix to a document root that is not the normal one for the server.
As such, you sometimes run into issues like this where the right .htaccess file is found, but its rewritten URL is against the original document root rather than the modified one and so your index.php file cannot be found (maybe, to be honest I don't really know, this is all conjecture). This is also why going directly to index.php/users works - the problem isn't the setup per se, but the mixing of rewrite rules and the change of the document root.
As such, the fix is to use a RewriteBase line, ad the following to the .htccess file:
RewriteBase /~user/lara/public/

Get values from wildcard sub-domain and the url using mod_rewrite

I have tried for many days to solve my need. Try to find in google and read at the stackoverflow, but I stil unable to get my answer.
I need to get the subdomain value including the value behind it.
for example:
subdomain_name.domain.com -> will execute domain.com/user.php?subdomain_value=subdomain_name
subdomain_name.domain.com/product_1.html --> will open page domain.com/user.php?page=1&subdomain_value=subdomain_name
I have tried to use code below:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((?!www\.)[^.]+)\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/user\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /user.php?subdomain_value=%1
RewriteRule ^product_([0-9]+).html$ /user.php?process=list_produk&page=$1&subdomain=%1
But it failed. When try to open subdomain_name.domain.com/product_1.html, it will keep opening the content of subdomain_name.domain.com
If I removed the code:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /user.php?subdomain_value=%1
Then, subdomain_name.domain.com/product_1.html will open the correct page, but the address subdomain_name.domain.com fail to open the correct page.
so, How can I make all of the .htaccess code work fine? I have think very hard and try all possibilities, including added [L], [NC,L], [L,QSA], but all of them failed.
Please help.
Thanks.

.htaccess on filesystem not working

I tried using a .htaccess file on my computer (as in, not on an actual website), but it is not working. I looked for anything relevant, but all I could find were article discussing how Windows doesn't allow a file to be created with a dot as the beginning of the file name. I have made the .htaccess file, and am trying to remove the .html file endings from the URL:
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
However, when I typed the name of the file into the browser bar - without the .html extension - I received a 404 error. Why is the .htaccess not working on a file system, and how can I make it work?
You need to install a web server (e.g. Apache). The file system or web browser do not know how to interpret the .htaccess file, that is done by the web server.

mod_rewrite to parent directory

I would like to create a .htaccess file that would do this logic:
If the requested file is not found try to find it in the directory
above.
I don't want to redirect the browser I would just like to internally rewrite the request.
I tried and searched for this a lot but always got stuck because (as I gather from the log) the where I could do the rewrite the path was always already without its per directory prefix. In the example below the .htaccess file is in the lang folder. If the lang specific file is not found it should just take the file from the parent folder. I understand that it is possible to do it by hardcoding the parent directory or by placing the .htaccess higher, but now that I suffered for so long in trying I would be very interested to learn if it was possible at all this way.
strip per-dir prefix: X:/localhost/htdocs/peopletest/public/img/root_cli/lang/en/loginhead.gif -> en/loginhead.gif
applying pattern 'somePattern' to uri 'en/loginhead.gif'
Thanks for the help.

Like this?
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule /[^/+]/([^/]+)$ $1

mod_rewrite: directing a domain into a subfolder (without vhost)

I have two domains that are aliases, domain1.com and domain2.com
Currently they are both directed into the same place, the root of my web space. However, I wish to separate them into independent pages and direct domain2.com into a subfolder with different content.
I understand that the correct way to do this is using Apache Virtual Hosts. However, my service provider does not allow me access to that functionality so I'll have to solve it using mod_rewrite.
What I need is something that directs www.domain2.com and domain2.com to subfolder/ (which should trigger index.php). Also, www.domain2.com/file.txt should go to subfolder/file.txt, etc... This is what I came up with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain2\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
However, when I run it and go to domain2.com, I get 500 Internal Server Error and the log file says:
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
To test what's going on I made a small php script that prints out the string that it gets.
I also modified the rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subfolder/test.php?string=$1 [L]
Now when I go to domain2.com or domain2.com/asd, it prints out: subfolder/test.php
Somehow it gets into recursion and prints itself. Whereas, if I use the following rule:
RewriteRule ^abc(.*)$ subfolder/test.php?string=$1 [L]
Then domain2.com/abcdef prints: def
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
It could be that the rewrite rule applies to subfolders of the one whose .htaccess it appears in. Does it help to add a condition that blocks the rewrite for URLs that already start with subfolder/?

Ko3 - URL Rewriting problem - Removing index.php

I'm developing a website using Kohana 3 (1rst time I use a framework). Locally, everything works perfectly. At the moment, I have a default template controller, a multi-language support and my 'index.php' is correctly removed. So before going further, I tested if it worked on my server and I got an endless loop.
I followed the tutorial from the unofficial wiki for the multi-language implementation: http://www.kerkness.ca/wiki/doku.php?id=example_of_a_multi-language_website
A redirection to the default language occurs if the language is not specified in the uri so I figured the problem might have come from there even though it worked locally, so I removed it to see what happens without the redirection. Now, I can see my home page, but whatever the uri is in the web browser, the home page will always be called. I inserted the following line in my home view to check what the uri was:
request::instance()->uri() and effectively, the uri is always: /en/home/
I put the index.php back (in the bootstrap) and everything worked fine again, even with the redirection to the default language.
My first guess was that the uri isn't rewritten correctly, so I tried to change the .htaccess but no success...
Here's my .htaccess:
# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# Installation directory
RewriteBase /dev/
# Protect hidden files from being viewed
<Files .*>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
</Files>
# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(application|modules|system)/ - [F,L]
# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT]
(btw I also tried the other RewriteRule in the unofficial wiki, doesn't work either)
Additional info:
Host: WebHostingPad
Apache: v2.2.11
PHP: 5.2.9
Rewrite_Module is activated
Thank you, I would really appreciate your help because I've been trying to fix this for days now and it's really starting to annoy me ;)
The only thing you have to change in order to get rid of index.php in URL is to set the 'index_file' param in Kohana::init ( bootstrap.php ) to FALSE ( everything else can cause an error ).
So the Kohana::init looks like this;
Kohana::init(array(
'base_url' => '/',
'index_file' => FALSE,
));
If it worked with the original .htaccess, there's no need to change it at all.
The problem came from $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] which returned no value...
This issue can be solved by adding the following line to the php.ini:
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
