FAQ: mod_rewrite, 301 redirects, and optimizing Apache.

I'm not even sure what you just said but seriously, no. I can tinker and move things around, but I ain't no coder. I break things.

BTW, thanks for the time, KingNin. My site pays homage to you.

 

mod_rewrite only makes URLs work. You would have to know how to edit the script to have the keywords in the link with the spaces and special characters chanegd to for example -.

And I have yet to touch da Nintendo Wee-wee!!!

 

Ninny!

I need help!!!!

I have mod-rewrite enabled on my server.
.htaccess is chmod 777

still can't edit files.



HELP!!!!

Col

 

I never chmod .htaccess unless da code needs to be generated via da web site, like with WordPress. Edit files on your computer and upload them via ftp!!!

 

That's what I am doing it for....Wordpress.

I have this redirect, put in via cpanel. Trying to direct from a static webpage to a forum on phpbb3.

Current redirect which doesn't work now is:

RedirectMatch permanent ^/jobs/$ http://www.mysite.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8

Redirect goes to http://www.mysite.com/forums/viewforum.php%3ff=18
instead of
http://www.mysite.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8

Appreciate any help.

 

oh man you are the king man!

 

Make a post over on there forum. I *hate* WordPress mod_rewrite stuff!! It's like algebra_rewrite, instead of grade_2_rewrite!!!

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^jobs/$ http://www.mysite.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8 [R=301,L]

 

I don't know if this will help but it will rewrite the url for wordpress.



Have you tried changing via Permalinks in Wordpress?

You need an .htaccess like:

Code:                                

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Then Options , Permalink and custom .. I use

Code:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%category%/%postname%.html

Code (markup):

Lore

 

Would you believe I am blocked from WP forums for whatever reason? I can't believe this. I have had plenty of hosting accounts and never had this problem before.

Thanks Nintendo for help with the redirect.

Had a htaccess in my other folder which was causing conflicts. Works great now!

Run over to *gags* webmasterworld.com/apache/

Da Apache King is over there.

 

@ Nintendo

Can you please help me rewrite my URLs, I want them to look a different way.

Before: (without rewrite)

After: (how I want them to look)

That is only a few of them, I want changed. But if you help, me and I see your example, I would be able to do the rest on my own.

Thanks.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^aboutus/([^.]+)/$ aboutus/$1.php [L]

Rename why_us.php to why-us.php

 

That didn't work. When I added that, the /aboutus/ linked to the home page, and the images didn't show up.

 

Image HTML code has to be changed as if the URLs are correct. Same with css.

RewriteRule ^aboutus/$ aboutus/index.php [L]

 

How would the image codes, have to look?

Is there a way to mod_rewrite the images path, so I don't have to update every page and css file?

 

Using the full image URL is the easiest way.

 

Ok, thanks. I notice that..

http://www.nixism.com/aboutus/datacenter/ works.. (links to datacenter.php)
but..
http://www.nixism.com/aboutus/datacenter doesn't.. (links to home page)

 

RewriteRule ^aboutus/([^.]+)$ aboutus/$1.php [L]

if you don't want the /
