I want a user to type myUrl.com/JohnSmith and go to John Smith's homepage. His homepage is actually a dynamic page that is shared with all users which is myUrl.com/Shared.aspx?ID=1234. I have created a URL rewrite script which finds the folder specified (JohnSmith) and finds the user ID from the database. It then displays the Shared.aspx page for the proper ID.
This works on my local machine because it's using Visual Web Developer as the hosting engine so it executes ASP.NET for every page load. When I upload this to an online host using IIS it fails because there is no folder named JohnSmith. I get a 404 online where I would get the proper page on my machine.
I have tried to work with 3 hosts to make this happen and noone can get this to work. I really need to either know what to tell the host to change or find someone who knows how to do this. I am obviously willing to change hosts if that's what it takes.
Actually I am going to use phpprobid system and it has in built function for mod rewrite but I think it is for apache as if i turn it on I cant access pages
I'm facing some issues with hotlinking here. the htaccess do not work because users can still use their download manager to download the file without going to my site.
I've seen few sites that got tempoary url that changes every X times and that support download manager.
When someone types in myforum.com/forums.html I want it to display the main forum (myforum.com) with ...../forums.html in the url bar. But without actually having a forums.html file present on the server. Can this be accomplished with htaccess?
I'd like to use lighttpd on my server but it doesn't support url rewrites for wordpress. I have a VPS running on kloxo and i have 4 clients using WP2.71 with permalinks.
After searching i found something really nice: " Create a file called /etc/lighttpd/wp-rewrite.conf with the following contents:
I'm not even really sure if rewrite is what I need, but basically I have an alias/proxy setup on apache which points mysite.com/itunes/ to mysite2.com/pr/itunes/. My script php executes on the second server, so it assumes that the address should be mysite.com/pr/itunes/. I need to rewrite this to mysite.com/itunes. Here's my code:
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^itunes/(.*).php$ pr/itunes/(.*).php
i'd like to use a code similar to the one below, to rewrite a sub directory to a subdomain. www.domain.com/aoa/info/ to info.domain.com and then error 301 if someone goes to www.domain.com/aoa/info/ directly
We have a server that is (unfortunately) running Windows. I'd like to change the strings from something like index.php?p=home to /home. I know how to do this on an Apache server, but I'm completely clueless for a Windows server running IIS.
I have all my specify modules are loaded in pache like mod_rewrite in other face I have a script need require mod_rewrite in install steps but I have in testing : Apache Mod-Rewrite Unavailable
With this whole no-www thing going on. I've decided to have a look at whether I can do this for my domains.
Instead of writing a
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ h77p://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
for every single domain I'd like to do this for across all domains as standard. I'm not too hot on rewrite rules and have in the past avoided them cos of the complexities. But I'd like to get this done, and no silently do it, but reflect the URL difference in the webbrowsers address bar too.
On my website at www.jamescobban.net I have a directory which contains an ancient copy of my old static implementation of the site. It is there just in case someone has saved a old URL. However the data in that directory is several years out of date, so I would like to redirect the old static URLs to the equivalent dynamic URLs. For example: URLs.....
I wasn't warned that the <Directory> in the Apache conf file has to specify AllowOverride All whereas the default that is created when I install Ubuntu is AllowOverride None.I wasn't warned that I have to enable the mod_rewrite using a2enmod or else the rewrite commands are rejected.I am testing this on my private copy of the web-site where I can fiddle with options like that in the config file, but when I migrate this to my public server I do not have that privilege, so I want to try setting up the URL rewriting in .htaccess.
I would like to write a rewrite rule that does the following:
RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 URL...
So what I want is that the first url is rewritten to go to the second ..I have a whole bunch of links that I have to redirect, so I would like to place them all into one .htaccess file or into the default configuration file of apache. So what I do not want is to create SomeFolder1 and someOtherFolder2 and to place a .htaccess file into that place in order to make it work. In fact I want to ignore the folders of the old link and only use the pagename.
