FAQ: mod_rewrite, 301 redirects, and optimizing Apache.

Is there a basic wordpress htaccess?
Just something to help speed up the site and maybe have better adsense targeting.

 

nice nice thanks

 

do you guys recommend redirecting domain.com/index.htm to domain.com/

 

Insteadof placing seperate htaccess file. Try to insert mod rewirete rules httpd.conf file in the server. As high loads some times apache makes unstability especially at recent multi core processors.

 

yhank you very good

 

I found something and trying to get a work around. I can only pass 9 parameters, and I need more.

Example:

^something_here/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$
/go_here_instead/index.php?1=$1&2=$2&3=$3&4=$4&5=$5&6=$6&7=$7&8=$8&9=$9&10=$10&11=$11&12=$12&13=$13 [L]

Any help?

nice post, thanks, I have been looking around for this thing

 

Dear all,
Thank you for nice articles.

I would like to ask you, what is the difference between 2 ways:

RewriteRule ^musics/search/artistID-(.*)\.html$ ?mode=musics&action=search&artistID=$1 [L]

and

RewriteRule ^musics-search-artistID-(.*)\.html$ ?mode=musics&action=search&artistID=$1 [L]


I am using the second one, because with the first one I have to change path level(s) of included files and images inside the file.

Thank you.

Tim

 

I have been looking everywhere about this one.. but no luck for me.. great I found yours! whew!

 

really helpful, finally found faq about rewrite

 

I found this thread extremely helpful and I think it makes a great deal of sense. However, I edited my .htacess files but the urls aren't changing? Also, I was unable to find the httpd.conf file. I do have Apache on my server, it's this version: Apache version - 2.2.8 (Unix). I'm not really sure as to the reason why, but here's my .htaccess file.

What my basic intention is to change my links from:
domain.com/index.php?p=recent_news to something like domain.com/index/p/recent/news.

Any ideas on what my problem really is?

 

hello, I am facing a problem here..
my htacess file :
# Rewrite URLs
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(search)\/(.*)$ index.php?act=$1&keyword=$2 [L,QSA]
</ifmodule>

it works fine when I use "http://localhost/search/" or "http://localhost/search/john", but not when i use "http://localhost/search", notice the tailing slash gone, it gives a 404 error.
Please help me ! I really need help!

Thanks

 

I am so thankful to have found this thread. After weeks of searching the net, and coming up empty this has been a real blessing.

I have ben reading a lot about mod_rewrite and perl using a db, but that unfortunately does not apply to my situation.

I am working on a dynamic site powered by perl, and it uses a flatfile system (no database). It is a public site with thousands of pages. Users creat pages themselves everyday, so new urls are always changing, being added or updated.

Right now the urls are ugly, and I know it is hurting the websites SE results as only a small fraciton of the pages are being indexed.

Is there a way to create clean urls for dynamic pages that are constantly being added?

here is an example url:

ht*p://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/business/business.pl??category=nintendo11&item=1217906501

where nintendo11 is a directory and 1217906501 is the items flatfile name

There is no way to keep up trying to change all of these by hand, each time a new one is added to the site.

I would sure like to get a better looking url, somehow, that would "automatically (probably dreaming here)" change:

(please excuse the * It wont let me post a url as Im a new member)
This:
ht*p://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/business/business.pl??category=nintendo11&item=1217906501

To:
ht*p://www.domain.com/business/nintendo/1217906501

Or even this:
ht*p://www.domain.com/business/nintendo/1217906501.html

Can anyone please offer some advice and assistance?

Many Thanks,

Shnippy

 

Dear Nintendo and visitors

How do I make redirect 301 for .aspx pages ???

I would like to redirect few URLs (homepage) to the main URL.

My homepage is "http://www.________.com/" and I would like to redirect
(301) the following pages:

"http://www.________.com"
"http://________.com"
"http://________.com/"
"www.________.com"
"www.________.com/"
"www.________.com/default.aspx"

Right now the default URL in my CMS is "www.________.com/default.aspx",
but the homepage is "http://www.________.com/"


By the way, Google webmaster tool thinks that I have 2 pages with
duplicate Meta tags - the "/" page and the "/default.aspx" page.


Thanks
Fortumania

 

OK, I need some code that does this...

I run a hosting company and as such many subdomains are being made, I need this to happen.

inside of every .htaccess file on each subdomain OR some kindof coding that will have the same effect across all of the subdomains... Every time they run into a 404 error page, I want them redirected to the main site, http://vgchat.info

 

Is there a way to make a generic mod_rewrite?
I using a custom MVC framework that I wrote. Im looking to do someting similar to what Zend does
right now my urls are basically this :

www.site.com/dispatcher/?action=XXX&var1=AAA&var2=BBB&var3=CCC

where there is an index.php file in each /dispatcher/ directory
there is always an action and
var1 , var2,var3 could by anything and could go up the 9 vars long
ie www.site.com/product/?action=dispaly&id=1


Im looking to be able to write my URLs like this :

www.site.com/dispatcher/XXX/var1/AAA/var2/BBB/var3/CCC

Where XXX is the action and var1/AAA are key/value parts

Is this possible w/ mod_rewrite?

Ive look here :
http://www.datakoncepts.com/seo
under the Unlimited key/value pairs section - but I just cant get it to go - keep getting 500 errors.

Any help at all would be great.
Thanks

Apparently, the person is probably on break/vacation so you can use this thread for reference and teach it yourself. If you guys wanted it to be handed to you for free then I suggest you guys go here: Mod-Rewrite and post in the beginners sections or questions about specific URLs. This stuff isn't rocket science, even I thought I couldn't master it but I'm understanding it more or less.

 

Hi
I am in a problem. I have a site Customermath.com. I have created a new subdomain on comlaint.customermath.com Here any one can come and post there complaint. I am also providing other service on customermath.com which need person to login. I want to maintain session between subdomain like if some one log in through customermath.com then he should not be asked to log in on complaint.customermath.com and vis-versa. Please help me if any one can.

 

This is not a mod rewrite problem.

If you have programming knowledge, please refer http://in.php.net/setcookie. The parameters 4 & 5 can fulfill your requirements.

 

If you find it, can you post it here? Doesn't seems like as the pages grow, more advanced material is being added.

Thx,

Tom
