I'm new to mode rewrite thing. Started off with codeigniter a couple of days back and trying to get a hand at it. I'm developing a website which needs domain.com/USERNAME for better SEO results. But I'm unable to figure out as to what mod rewrite I should write to achieve this. I already have removed the index.php entry in config and my base url is http://127.0.0.1/myproject/. (I'm using XAMPP)
So I have to search for username in this format
http://127.0.0.1/myproject/USERNAME
and return the corresponding page. My current mod rewrite file goes as follows :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help :-)

I am trying to develop using CI for the first time. I have not changed any defaults WRT paths, .htaccess, etc. Two hours ago I was able to load pages; now I am not. All of this is on a virtual box running on my Mac, and I had been messing with the virtualbox settings in order to try to get the web pages to load while connected to a VPN (did not succeed). At no time did I edit any files on the VM, whether for connect settings or related to CI and my project.
Giving up with the VPN, I returned to my project to continue with code enhancements. Only now, as my title suggests, nothing will load. The default "It works" page loads so I know nginx is responding to requests. I don't get the Code Igniter 404 page -- I get the generic:
Not Found
The requested URL /index.php/c_login/ was not found on this server.
In this example, c_login extends CI_Controller and displays a view in its index function.
Based on my searches:
My config.php contains $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
There was no .htaccess file previously, and that is still the case
I don't understand the bit about capital first letter in my controllers, as I've had lower case since I started the project and had no problem
Except for a minor change to a view file (not trying to load that one right now), nothing has changed since the last pull from the git server
I had left the welcome_message view and welcome controller in place when starting this project, and that no longer works either. Any ideas? I am at a complete loss.
Change this
In your config.php
$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = '';
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';
then in .htaccess(this should be place out side of application folder)
RewriteEngine on
Options -Indexes
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
EDIT 01
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I had turned Use URL rewriting to ON
Added some code in to the ht access file and this never worked.
I then turned off url rewriting and removed the code and now when I try to go to the website I am getting a 404 error.
I can still access /administration
the website is www2.daxtra.com
the page it should find is http://www2.daxtra.com/index.php/home
Does anyone have any ideas what has happened?
This was the code I added:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Thanks
Right, I've done a small test.
To get what you want, you need to following:
htaccess.txt (you don't need a .htaccess file)
Search Engine Friendly URLs set to On
Use URL rewriting set to Off
You finally need to ensure that your Homepage menu items it set to a specific component such as an article or something else, not an Alias
This will ensure that you get example.com/index.php/home
Hope this helps
I am using CMSMS for a work project and haven't much experience with it myself. I have a videos page which lists every video by category. Each video links to:
/newsandresources/single-video-page/&referenceId=networks
where 'networks' is replaced with a reference ID attached to the video. What I need to do is create a mod_rewrite rule to re-direct:
/newsandresources/know-your-audience
(or whichever reference ID) to the single video's page and pass the reference ID
/newsandresources/single-video-page/&referenceId=know-your-audience
Does that make sense? :-/ sorry if not. I've come up with the follow mod_rewite code so far:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^newsandresources/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$ /newsandresources/single-video-page/&referenceId=$1
RewriteRule ^newsandresources/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)$ /newsandresources/single-video-page/&referenceId=$1
unfortunately it's not working. wondering if thee's anyone out there able to help?
try this:
RewriteRule ^\/newsandresources\/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+) /newsandresources/single-video-page/&referenceId=$1
I have a site built in codeigniter. We use short urls from our database & rewrite rules to redirect them to their full path.
For example,
RewriteRule ^secure-form$ form/contract/secure-form [L]
This works fine by itself. But I would like to use SSL on certain pages. I have edited the code so that if you go to one of these pages, all instances of http:// within the page are replaced with https:// but I need to rewrite the url to use it as well.
The pages all use the same template and all the content comes from the database so I can't just specify ssl on a particular directory.
The url's for the secure pages all start with 'secure' so I wrote the following rules and placed them above the other rewrites.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/secure/?.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/secure/?.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^secure-form$ form/contract/secure-form [L]
RewriteRule ^secure-different-form$ form/contract/secure-different-form [L]
all other rewrite rules for specific pages follow
then the default rewrite further down...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
The problem is that when I add the rules to change the protocol, it ends up displaying 'form/contract/secure-form' in the url instead of 'secure-form'.
This renders the actual form on the page broken since it uses that url to build itself.
If I take out the rules that change the protocol, it displays secure-form in the url as it should, but the page is not secure.
What am I doing wrong?
----UPDATE----
Ooh, after over 20 hrs of searching, I think I finally have an answer. So, first time through, https is off & gets turned on. Then, because of the 301, it's run again & the page gets sent to form/contract/secure... But this time, https is on. Since the uri no longer STARTS with secure, it turns https off.
Hopefully, this will help someone else.
I want to rewrite URL to access Yii module when a mobile browser detected. In Yii, I make a new module called mobile. I don't use theming (which is the common method for mobile site) since I intent to implement quite different logics for normal browser and mobile browser user.
The mobile module will be accessed using http://localhost/project/mobile (or http://project/mobile in production).
The default .htaccess file for Yii is below
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /project/
#RewriteBase / #for production
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
The problem is I want to insert string mobile for every URL accessed by mobile browser.
for example
http://localhost/project/user -> http://localhost/project/mobile/user
http://localhost/project/login -> http://localhost/project/mobile/login
http://localhost/project/books/1 -> http://localhost/project/mobile/books/1
or for production.
http://project/user -> http://project/mobile/user
http://project/login -> http://project/mobile/login
http://project/books/1 -> http://project/mobile/books/1
Anyone knows what the new .htaccess for this will be?
I don't mind changing few variables for development and production server and for the mobile browser detection I guess I can use the rule from http://detectmobilebrowsers.com
Try this one
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /project/
# Redirect /project/*/ to /project/mobile/*/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/project/mobile/.*$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|ipad|iphone|ipod|iemobile|opera|mobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /project/mobile/$1 [L,R]
# Forward request to Yii
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
It was adapted from .htaccess showed in here http://ohryan.ca/blog/2011/01/21/modern-mobile-redirect-using-htaccess/
The easiest thing you can do here is group all mobile functionality under a "mobile" module, and use Yii's PreRouter functionality to redirect the user in Yii itself. This gives you a lot more control about everything.
class PreRouter
{
public function routeRequest($oEvent)
{
$oApp = $oEvent->sender;
if (<isMobile>)
$oApp->defaultModule = 'mobile';
}
}
In your config you add:
'onbeginRequest' => array('PreRouter', 'routeRequest'),
Under the main array (so NOT under modules, it's an app setting).
As said, this gives you a lot of control over everything. You can determine when the user is to be redirected (for example iPad is also a mobile but a lot of people want the regular site). With this method you can store for example in a cookie that they want to remain on normal site instead of mobile etc.
I know its not with rewrites as you requested but I still hope you find the answer usefull :)
