I have a doubt about url rewriting using apache mod_rewrite. I am a newbie in mod_rewrite and I don't have any experience in regex.
What I want to do is to:
Rewrite / To /web/content/public/
Rewrite /clients/ To /web/content/clients/
How can I achieve above things.
I tried:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^/clients/$ web/content/clients/ [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/content/public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
But it doesn't work. What can I do?
^(.*)$ includes the slash. So don't include the slash in the rewritten pattern.
But include a root slash at the head of your rewritten pattern.
RewriteRule ^/clients(.*)$ /web/content/clients$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /web/content/public$1 [L]
Check the apache access log and error log to see what kind of request URL comes back.
Please check the documentation, especially the list labeled "Here are all possible substitution combinations and their meanings:"
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^/clients/$ web/content/clients/ [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ web/content/public/$1 [L]
And if you want to use that rules in a .htaccess file, remove the leading slash from the patterns.

I'm using Apache 2.2 with two servers:
Development: localhost/project/public
Production: www.example.com
I have an existing rewrite rule for clean urls (to remove 'index.php' from the url).
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
I have one special route that only works if a trailing slash is present:
special route (development): localhost/public/documentation/
special route (production): www.example.com/documentation/
How do I add a rewrite rule to my existing .htaccess to always add a trailing slash, but only for the documentation route?
You just need to add another RewriteRule that matches only against /documentation i.e. without a trailing slash. The first rule adds the trailing slash and then your existing rule adds the index.php.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(documentation)$ $1/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
If you would like the browser's address bar to also reflect the trailing slash change the rule to
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(documentation)$ $1/ [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
Don't forget to add these directives first once per .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
And then you can try this:
RewriteRule ^/?(documentation)$ /$1/ [R,NC,L]
Or this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (.+)/([^/]+)$
RewriteRule ^/?(documentation)/(.+)$ /$1/$2/ [R,NC,L]
I'm confused about your question..
Is there a way to exempt any requests to a subdomain in mod_rewrite? Right now, I have a one-page app that's redirecting everything to index.html.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
</IfModule>
But I want to make sure that calls to subdomain.mydomain.com are permanently exempt from being rewritten.
You can use a condition on the subdomain and the - substitution to stop the rewriting. From http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
There is a special substitution string named '-' which means: NO
substitution! This is useful in providing rewriting rules which only
match URLs but do not substitute anything for them.
Try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
I am trying to configure a .htaccess file to my webpage to make it work as i want, but after a lot of searching and trying to understand the documentation, my head is just confused about these mod_rewrite.
It looks like this:
root/index.php
root/application/-subfolders-
root/config/-files-
root/library/-files-
what i want is everything sent to the index.php file as a parameter like index.php?page=$i, so i can have links like www.mypage.com/foo/bar and my index.php handles it.
ALSO i want to have the www.mypage.com/js/filename be sent to a subfolder in application,
like root/application/javascripts/filename.
I just cant get this to work, tried different answer i found both here and other places.
.htaccess at is now:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/js/ application/javascripts/ [L]
RewriteRule ^/js/(.*)$ application/javascripts/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^css/ application/css/ [L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ application/css/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^images/ application/images/ [L]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ application/images/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]
</IfModule>
This should do it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^js/(.*)$ application/javascripts/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ application/css/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ application/images/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]
want to rewrite urls like site.com/software to wp-content/themes/dir/software.php and something is not working.. Here's what I have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^software wp-content/themes/dir/software.php [L]
Thanks!
Rewrite rules are processed in the order that they are encountered. In this case, every request is getting pushed to index.php before your software rule is encountered (assuming that software doesn't exist in the system as a directory or file). The [L] on the end of the first rule tells Apache to stop reading rules, so it doesn't even bother processing the next one.
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^software wp-content/themes/dir/software.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
##RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^index.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
## RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z_+-]+).php$ index.php?p=%1 [R=301]
## RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [R=301,L]
## RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php?b={REQUEST_FILENAME}
RewriteRule * index.php?p={REQUEST_FILENAME} [R=301,L]
Above you can see my attempts to redirect any request that is not an existing directory, is not index.php and is not a static resource to redirect to index.php?p=resourcename
I am not having any luck. Basically the purpose of this is to redirect static and old urls to new ones as I have just rewritten an old site.
The PHP will handle the redirect logic.
At the moment this code causes an internal server error, I assume because it is caught in a redirect loop. What have I done wrong? My brain is fried after a long day.
Untested, but worth a try :
RewriteRule .* /index.php?p={REQUEST_FILENAME} [R=301,L]
The ".*" part means you want to match 1 or more characters (any of them). And the "/" in front of the "index.php" is probably not mandatory but makes things clearer even if you have the RewriteBase option set to "/" already.
You may also want to add the parameter "QS" between the brackets, to be sure to get the querystring that may be passed with the queries (would be [QS,R=301,L]). Hope this works, and this helps :)
Edit: There's also the "%" in front of "{REQUEST_FILENAME}", as stated by Gumbo.
This code eventually solved my problem.
Thanks for the help, though.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+).php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index.php?p=$1 [L]
You forgot the % in front of the variable (%{REQUEST_FILENAME}) and an expression that should be repeated zero or more times (* is just a quantifier):
RewriteRule .* index.php?p=%{REQUEST_FILENAME} [R=301,L]
