I was trying to password protect a folder on our server. However, each time I included .htaccess to that folder, and .htpasswd, it was automatically redirecting everyone to a 401 page without any login prompt.
When i visited my root directly, i saw this .htaccess:
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s/%1 ^(on(s)|offs)/(.+)
#RewriteRule ^ http%2://%3%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I commented it out and my .htpasswd & .htaccess to the foldr works, however, as my mod rewrite isn't the best, I wasn't sure if commenting the above will create problems for my website?
thanks.
This is basically just redirecting any www.host.ext to host.ext, and returns a 301 Moved Permanently response code.
If you don't care about that functionality you should be able to comment it out.
post your subdirectories htaccess file and we can see if we can sort your original issue out.

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/
alright so i have a need for mode rewrite and i am completely noob/new to it.
I've read sever guide. that explained mode rewrite goes - pattern - redirection - flags.
i am trying to redirect anyone that gets into domain.com/product/ to domain.com/product.php
and pass the variable url=232 however i am first trying to redirect /product/ to product.php
Here is what i got so far.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \/product\/ /product.php
I've started even more basic then that by redirect product.php to index.php and that worked.
am i doing something wrong ?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^product/?$ /product.php?url=232
ok, so I've tried many things I've found on SO and elsewhere, but I just can't get it to work, always receiving a 404 error code.
I'd like to enter this url:
memorizeit.com/pics/220.0.8251.20120905002352.7982368227/Jameson+tested+the+MemorizeIt%21+Android+app%3A+With+Facebook+%26+Twitter.+Getting+grass+stains.
and have it invisibly convert to:
memorizeit.com/pics/index.php?pic=220.0.8251.20120905002352.7982368227&title=Jameson+tested+the+MemorizeIt%21+Android+app%3A+With+Facebook+%26+Twitter
The index.php page is looking for:
$pic = ($_GET["pic"]);
$title = ($_GET["title"]);
In my .htaccess file in the /pics directory I've got the following:
RewriteEngine on
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=2592000"
RewriteRule ^pics/([^\/]*)/([^\/]*)/([^\/]*)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1&title=$2&extra=$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^pics/(.+)/(.+)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1&title=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^pics/([^\/]*)$ /pics/index.php?pic=$1 [L,QSA]
I've tried it without the QSA, I've tried it with either .+ (anything) and [^/]* (anything except /) I left both in so you can see how I've put them there (I think!). I do plan on making the $1 allowed to only include numbers and periods, but I'd just like to get it to work being wide open first.
I can't figure out why it isn't working. In my base url .htaccess file I have:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
And it always redirects to https so I know the .htaccess files are being read. I don't know what else to try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Turns out that because pics/ is a real directory the rewrite was trying harder to get there than to just go ahead and rewrite it. So I changed the pics/ to p/ in the matching statement and moved the rules to the base .htaccess file and it works as expected.
Wow that took a long painful time... Hope it saves someone else some time.
I'm trying to redirect all pages on an old site (wellnowwhat.net/nin/*.*) to the index of a new site (sykonaut.net/nin_old/). I only have access to the new site's .htaccess (the old site is owned by a friend), so I'm testing going the opposite direction. I can redirect the root (sykonaut.net) to his root (wellnowwhat.net) using mod_rewrite, but I cannot redirect my nin_old directory to his nin directory. I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to redirect the opposite direction, either. Here is [the entirety of] the code in my .htaccess:
AddHandler php5_2-wrap .php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.sykonaut.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/nin_old(.*)$ http://www.wellnowwhat.net/nin [R,NC,L]
It does not work. Anyone know why?
Place your .htaccess in the nin_old directory.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /nin_old
RewriteRule ^.* http://www.wellnowwhat.net/nin/ [R,NC,L]
When you redirect to an external URL to a directory, I would add the trailing slash as this reduce an extra redirection.
Also when you test everything and it's all right, change R to R=301 as this is preferred by most search engine for Permanent Redirection.
In apache 2.0 and higher, the prefix (leading "/") is removed from the URI before it's put through the rewrite engine for rules in the .htaccess file. Try removing the leading slash from your regular expression in your rule:
RewriteRule ^nin_old(.*)$ http://www.wellnowwhat.net/nin [R,NC,L]
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
