Need HELP : hosting doesn't support mod_rewrite.

Hi, my hosting (free.fr) doesn't support mod_rewrite that i need for my online manga viewer to work correctly, with the .htaccess file i have a 500 error and when a delete the .htaccess file the home page appears but the script doesn't work correctly.
Can someone help me?
Pm if interested.

Modify and add this to your .htaccess in the main directory of your site

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R=301,L]

 

Here is my .htacces

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^mangas/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ - [F,L]
RewriteRule ^mangas/([^/]+)/$ - [F,L]
RewriteRule ^mangas(/?)$ - [F,L]

RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([0-9]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1&chapter=$2&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1&chapter=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(/?)$ index.php?manga=$1 [L]

The mod_rewrite isn't supported by my hosting.

 

you can't use .htaccess if apache extension "mod_rewrite" not available.

 

That's what I said, your only option is to find another hosting service, or ask the hoster to turn on mod rewrite (I doubt they will though)

 

in fact, i saw some sites on the same hosting that played with a 404 error page somehow and it works for them!

Yes, it's possible to create your own "mod_rewrite". By ussing something like this:

.htaccess:

ErrorDocument 404 /rewrite.php

Code (markup):

And in rewrite.php:

<?php
print $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
?>

Code (markup):

This shows what URL is requested, so now you can parse it. I can do this for you, of course

 

Sent you a pm.
Thanks
