FAQ: mod_rewrite, 301 redirects, and optimizing Apache.

I have been in contact with our websupplier and they are reffering to this doc: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html but I ca't figure out what to do, plse help.

 

I have now tried according attached doc. But nothing shows in my url (its the same as before)

 

You have to change the links to the new URLs.

 

Ok, now I get it. But this effects also other stuff in my site, like images other links etc. I have also built in security around what can be transfered in show, go, page_id and lang. For an example you should not be able to put in a value in show higher then 8, in go we only except predefined pages and so on.
Like this:
//This is the allowed pages connected to $go
$allowed_pages = array('sidor/allmvillk.php', 'sidor/andra_order.php');
if (in_array($_GET['go'], $allowed_pages)){
include($_GET['go']);
}

I don't know if its possible to only effects my menu links?

Otherwise this means I need to rebuild my hole site.

 

You have to change the image and link codes as if the fake URLs are the real URLs. Browsers don't know the URLs are fake and don't know what the real URLs are.

 

I have searched high and low and thought I now need to come back to Nintendo for a fast response.

It should be simple

How do I 301 redirect a directory to the same subdomain

So that www .domain.com/directory/ becomes directory.domain.com

and www .domain.com/directory/directory2/file1.html then becomes directory.domain.com/directory2/file1.html

?

thanks

 

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^directory/(.*)$ http://directory.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^directory/$ http://directory.domain.com/ [R=301,L]

The first RewriteRule *might* help redirect URLs in the directory, like categories, though I'm not sure.

 

Hi, I am using PHPLD directory script and am having some troubles with mod-rewrite. Should i be enter my rewrite in mysite.com/.htaccess or in mysite.com/directory/.htaccess .

The mod re-write i am trying to make work is:

mysite.com/directory/details.php?id=16

to go to

mysite.com/directory/company-16.php

Hope you can help, as i want to know for sure if the problem is with my mod re-write or some problem with the directory script and conflicts with the built in mod re-write. Thanks

 

domain.com/.htaccess

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^directory/company-([^.]+)\.php$ directory/details.php?id=$1 [L]

Using .html instead of .php would be much better in the eyes of some search engines.

 

Hi there I need some advise:

I have pages that are generated by:
RewriteRule ([^-]*)-page-([0-9]*).html index.php?action=nameview&nameID=$2 [L]

this generates pages like:
name-page-1.html

===============================================

I want to redirect 301:

/name-page-1.html?PHPSESSID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

to go to

http://www.mydomain.com/name-page-1.html

What is the best way to do that?

 

Edit the script so that doesn't show up in the link.

Search for

PHPSESSID

one of them will be for the link.

 

I have edited the scripts so it will add no more
?PHPSESS... in the url-s

However all of my links are
indexed by g**le:
duplicated or even threepled
with different ?PHPSESS... in the url-s

so I want ro redirect all the links with ?PHPSESS... in the url-s
to the links without ?PHPSESS... in the url-s

 

@Nintendo you doing great work
but there is question in my mind i hope u answer me:
why this for isn't optimized? (and most of da forums VB-IPB-phpBB)?

 

Session Ids...toast until google updates da listings!!!!

http://www.google.com/search?q=site:forums.digitalpoint.com

You don't fix something that's not broken!!!!

And not all servers can do mod_rewrite. aka...servers that live in a window.

 

Hi Nintendo ,
whats wrong with that for removig ?phpsess......
from the link: something-page-10.html?phpsess......

RewriteRule something-page-10.html(.*)$ something-page-10.html [R=301,L]

 

You can try it, but I don't think it'll work since it has ? and = in the part you want redirected.

 

this is not working:
RewriteRule something-page-10.html(.*)$ something-page-10.html [R=301,L]

this is not working either:
RewriteRule something-page-10.html?PHPSESSID=(.*)$ something-page-10.html [R=301,L]

any help will be appreciated

 

Nintendo, maybe you can help me out here?

 

So is there anythik that I can do to sort the problem with
" ? and = " in the part of redirecting script to make it working?

this is not working either:
RewriteRule something-page-10.html?PHPSESSID=(.*)$ something-page-10.html [R=301,L]

I have reade lots of posts in the internet and did not find the clue for solving this.

I'm looking for working solution

Yes, it's possible, if you have some

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}

giberish stuff. For example, I once redirected a php vBulletin thread to a new thread after the original massive thread was deleted.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^t=10285(&page=[^&]+)?$
RewriteRule ^showthread\.php$ http://www.domain.com/showthread.php?t=$1 [R=301,L]
