FAQ: mod_rewrite, 301 redirects, and optimizing Apache.

Hello Nintendo,
The following code added to my hostgator account .htaccess
what they did ?
and what its for ?
and would it hurt any robots SE ?

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all[CODE]

Code (markup):

</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.siteurl.com
AuthUserFile /home/siteusername/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/siteusername/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp[/CODE]


Ive change it to the following so it redirects http://site.com to http://www.site.com

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^siteurl\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.siteurl.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

Code (markup):

Thanks for your help once again Nintendo

 

Hi Jesse and DP members.



can i replace the %20 with + on mod rewrite

i have succesfully modified the mod rewrite book authors to work with the URL

http://example.com/firstname lastname.html

can i use mod rewrite and .htaccess to make it look like this?

http://example.com/firstname+lastname.html


thank you.

 

Looks like front page.

Is this perl or php? What's the code from the script that changes it to %20? Odds are, where you put that, just changing it to + would do it.

If the URL works with the space, you probably don't need to change the .htaccess code.

 

jesse,

the script is perl, amazon apf and i am using your mod rewrite hack.

 

Post the code you made, over in the APF mod_rewrite board.

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post it, but I still hope...


We used Site1 and Site2 with one domain.
Since it is considered as black hat, we separated the sites:
Now Site1 is our major site,
And Site2 has homepage only.

The problem is that now Site2 has OLD pages with PR on Google,
and we are starting to loose them (404 - page not found)

What is the best way to not loose the site2 pages on search engines?
After all, we'd want them to point to our major site!

Please note that the pages are dynamic:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?opti...d=12&Itemid=10


Many thanks!

 

Redirect everything to the new domain. Something like

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

 

Thank you

 

I have chaned all my file names from dashes to underscore.

www.inetbridge.net/driver/asus-mb-23.html

I need to change this to

www.inetbridge.net/driver/asus_mb_23.html


Can this be done?


Thanks

 

Bad move!! Even Google has said -'s are better than _'s!!

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /driver/
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\.html$ http://www.inetbridge.net/$1_$2_$3_$4.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\.html$ http://www.inetbridge.net/$1_$2_$3.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)\-([^.]+)\.html$ http://www.inetbridge.net/$1_$2.html [R=301,L]

 

Thanks!

 

OK this should be easy, hope someone can help. can't seem to get it working myself.

http://www.mysite.com/directory/Food/?p=2
to
http://www.mysite.com/directory/Food/Page2.htm

Thanks

 

domain.com/.htaccess

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^directory/Food/Page([^.]+)\.htm$ directory/Food/index.php?p=$1 [L]

Change index.php to what ever the index file is.

 

Hi,

I have my url like this at the moment:
www.mydomain.com/index.php?show=2&go=sidor/boka.php&page_id=31&lang=se

and wounder how should my .htaccess file look like?

I have all my pages stored in directory "sidor" so next question is where should I put the .htaccess file?

 

How do you want the URLs to look!!

 

I would like the url to be:
www.mydomains.com/sidor/boka.php/lang/se

but I don't now if thats possible?

Otherwise maybe:
www.mydomains.com/index/show/2/go/sidor/boka/page_id/31/lang/se

Or if you can give me some examples. For your knowledges I have a database connected to my site and show is driven my menu, go decide the page, page_id the content and last is lang who decide english or swedish.

 

The show and page ID numbers would probably need to be in the URL.

mydomains.com/index/show/2/go/sidor/boka/page_id/31/lang/se


Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index/show/([^.]+)/go/([^.]+)/page_id/([^.]+)/lang/([^.]+)$ index.php?show=$1&go=$2&page_id=$3&lang=$4 [L]

 

Where should I put the .htaccess file?
Do I need to change my index.php to call this file?

 

domain.com/.htaccess

index file doesn't need touched. mod_rewrite just makes fake URLs work.

 

Doesn't work, my url is the same as before
