CakePHP redirection of url like *.php
My site is integrated with more than 20 other sites.
They have a url to access my site
Now i rewrite my code in CakePHP .
So i want to redirect the old urls to the corresponding cakePHP page
You may use the routes configuration to add some paths that resolve your current urls sending them to the appropriate action:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#routes-configuration
However, I think you should manage that situation directly in your web server whatever it be (apache, nginx, etc).

I'm using firebase hosting for my blog
I use this
mydomain.com/?postid=how_to_etc
Method to get my post data
Is there any way to use SEO friendly url like,
mydomain.com/how_to_etc
So that this link should not redirect to 404 error page
This kind of behavior requires rewrites configured with a single page app to interpret the URL path for its own router. this does depend on your current setup to determine the final work required.
alternatively, if you are using simple HTML; you can look at window.location properties and split the path with split.("/") to determine the path . See:

I have jekyll-redirect-from plugin, but it only really works for pages that aren't my root homepage.
For example, if a user types in www.mywebsite.com/index.html I want it to redirect and display the URL as www.mywebsite.com
Everything I can find about this is focused on blog posts and other pages than the index. Has anyone had this issue?
You don't need a redirect, because www.mywebsite.com/index.html and www.mywebsite.com are the same page. (The browser just shows the index file by default if you go to www.mywebsite.com.)
You need the browser to rewrite the URL, while remaining on the same page. You need to do this on the webserver.
.htaccess
If your site is on an Apache server and you have access to the server, you can use an .htaccess file to rewrite the URL from www.mywebsite.com/index.html to www.mywebsite.com.
There are online .htaccess generators like this one that help get the syntax right.
There are similar methods for rewriting URLs on nginx webservers.
GitHub Pages
If you're on a service like GitHub Pages, you can't use .htaccess. A free workaround is to use Netlify to deploy your site, because you can set up redirects on Netlify. Create a free account on Netlify and add a new site from GitHub there.
In the root of your repo, create a netlify.toml file containing this:
# Redirect /index.html to /
[[redirects]]
from = "/index.html"
to = "/"
Netlify will now handle that redirect.
As stated in https://www.netlify.com/blog/2015/10/30/domain-aliasesas-many-as-you-like/ Netlify seems to support this:
Our flexible rewrite rules also means you can even handle different
subdomains as folders within the same site.
But how should this be configured? Seems not documented anywhere.
EDIT
I would like to store files in folder /developer and serve them from http://developer.example.com. So for the user it looks he is browsing http://developer.example.com.
You can define redirect rules to do this by defining them in a _redirects file
To serve content hosted on a subdomain to requests coming to the folder URL:
# proxy the request
/my/folder/path https://subdomain.ofmy.site 200
# redirect the request
/my/folder/path https://subdomain.ofmy.site 302
you can also use wildcards and splats
# proxy the request
/my/folder/path/* https://subdomain.ofmy.site/:splat 200

At this very moment I do not have any 500 error being thrown, but in case I ever do in the future I'm trying to customize a page so users never see that awful white screen.
I am having trouble adding said page. I have the page made and a controller that loads the page, but when I try and route the page in the route file or route it using .htaccess I'm still getting that white screen.
This is what I have tried in my route file
$route['500_override'] = 'notFoundErrorPage/serverError';
and then this is what I have tried in my .htaccess
ErrorDocument 500 http://writeyourfiction.com/NotFoundErrorPage/serverError
any help would be wonderful!
CodeIgniter does not have any custom error handlers aside from 404_override, so using one for any other HTTP code will be fruitless.
Apache has custom error pages as you've already attempted, but there are a couple of things to note that may be affecting your results:
1: A local URL begins with a /
A local URL to redirect to (if the action begins with a "/").
2: Specifying in an .htaccess may require additional configuration:
It may be used in .htaccess files if AllowOverride is set to FileInfo.
If you seek additional help, either here or elsewhere, please provide more information about your server environment: operating system, web server (e.g. Apache) and version, any relevant add-ons or modifications you may have made, etc.
It depends on the server software you are using. If you are using Apache, see here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/custom-error.html
If you aren't using apache, google "[webserver software] custom 500 page".
If you're still having trouble, try asking on serverfault.com.
I'm currently experiencing an issue whereby my MVC site is not responding correctly using IIS 6.
I've setup a url as http://mysite.co.uk which automatically redirects to the correct MVC home page. As the site contains sensitive information I have added the [RequireHttps] attribute to each controller class to automatically redirect the browser to an https url of https://mysite.co.uk which works correctly.
When I access the site as http://www.mysite.co.uk the site correctly redirects to https://www.mysite.co.uk/Default.aspx but it then responds with
Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
It looks like any time I use www. as part of the url it fails to respond but I have a hostheader setup as www.mysite.co.uk under the IIS website. Is there anything in particular I need to do to make MVC understand the www. part of the url in terms of routing?
Thanks,
Brian.
IIS 6 doesn't add ssl host headers as you think it would. see my article at:
