View 6 RepliesI'd like to change /comp.php to /comp but I have only found articles on how to remove .php completely and I don't want to do that, only want to do it for this one file.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, I would like my htaccess file to check if a file exists and if it doesn't then redirect to another file. How would I go about doing this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have learned some bits of regular expressions for simple scripting, writing a .htaccess file is, uh, syntaxically daunting.
THE CASE :
The URLs of my site used to be of the form [URL] ... . They are now of the form [URL]......
I am trying to perma-redirect (301) the old format (affiche_fiche.php) to the new format (fiche.php) using a .htaccess.
So far all I have achieved is a hatred of punctuation signs. What's the correct syntax to have a .htaccess that does the redirect ?
THE CONTEXT : The format change took place more than six months ago, but the Google Webmaster Tools still spits 450 problems a day with 404s on URLs using the old format. I had assumed that these would just fade away, but they don't. So I guess that 301'ing them is cleaner. Or would be, if I understood the syntax.
I want to upload the custom 404 error page and .htaccess file to my website but .htaccess is not working on my web server. I have use the correct file name and try it many time but no result I have found. My web server is Microsoft IIS 7.5

index.php/
index.php
index.php/home
index.php/profile
index.php/diary
write an .htaccess for the same?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying to set up archive-my-tweets [URL] .... and I seem to have gotten stuck with a 403 error. When I remove the .htaccess file the 403 goes away but so do the rewrite rules so that's a problem.
You'll see the contained .htaccess file that's included in the project.
Basically for now I'm just trying to run this on my mac. I have set up the files in a subdirectory of my personal web server. The personal web server is working fine--but when I go to the /tweets directory I get the 403.
I added the following to my cpanel .htaccess file on my hosting account:
<FilesMatch ".pdf$">header set x-robots-tag: noindex
</FilesMatch>
This was to stop Google from crawling and indexing my PDFs, will this work accross all my addon domains and subdomains (which are wordpress) on my hosting account or do I need to take extra measure?
There is a .htaccess~ file in the root directory of my server. .htaccess is also in that place. But what is the purpose of that .htaccess~ file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering why sometimes my htaccess files don't seem to work, especially when contained within subdirectories. I've got two problematic situations:
(1) I've got a mod rewrite that supposedly works. I put it in a subdirectory like /dbase/stuff/ but the script ignores it like it just isn't there. Permissions don't change anything and they are currently set to 644. It's very simple and only contains the following code: ....
I manage a high traffic website on one of my dedicated servers. It currently serves around 2 million uniques/mo.
In time, due to page changes, around 200 important URIs got a redirect [L,R=301] in the main .htaccess file that's sitting on the root directory.
Redirects are in the form of : person/J/James_Blake_2000/ --> /user/James_Blake/
Thus, the .htaccess file has reached well above 200 lines.
I would like to kindly ask for advice: should I limit the dimension of this htaccess file ?
How do you guys treat these permanent redirects?
I'm on a shared FreeBSD server, running Apache with Drupal, and vBulletin.
I had to create a local php.ini file in my public_html folder for Drupal, and another in my forum folder for vBulletin. Now my question is, what should I set the permissions of these files to? Also, what should I set .htaccess permissions to as well?
I'd like to keep them invisible to the public. But, I don't want any problems with Drupal, or vBulletin ether.
I'm used to using Linux and I know how permissions work on a desktop. I just don't know what they do when used on a server. I'm guessing 640, but I'd like to make sure before I change anything.
I'm trying to redirect from a filename that contains spaces using .htaccess
for example, I want to redirect /test 2.html to http://example.com
I've tried:
ReDirect /test 2.html http://example.com
ReDirect /test 2.html http://example.com
ReDirect /"test 2".html http://example.com
ReDirect /'test 2'.html http://example.com
ReDirect /test%202.html http://example.com
ReDirect /"test 2.html" http://example.com
ReDirect /'test 2.html' http://example.com
And a few others. I can't seem to get the syntax right, and always end up getting an internal server error message. Anyone have any ideas?
I upload a .htaccess file in FTP and it disappears, i checked with SHELL file is there but cant see in ftp ,
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a flash media player on one of my domains that streams music. The flash player would be like domain.com/music
The mp3 files are located in domain.com/music/mp3
The flash player just reads the title of the song and displays it in the media player.
I have used htaccess already to disable indexing, but the file name that shows on the media player is the exact name of the mp3, so I'm pretty sure people will be able to easily figure this out and start downloading our music.
What else can I add to htaccess to allow localhost access to the music, to stream with the flash player, but wont allow downloading of the mp3s.
I have download manager script that I use for my customers to download products right after the purchase.
Script generates download link that looks like this:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/download/...582921B&p=1840 (where 2YY6582921B is receipt number that is different with each purchase).
All products are placed in one folder. This folder can not be seen in above download url, but can be accessed thru browser and files can be downloaded that way without paying for them.
Can I use .htaccess and if yes how, to protect all product files the way that they can not be accessed directly by visiting url thru browser (in case somebody will find the correct url), they should be allowed for access only for my download manager script.
I just want to use wget command to transfer data from a shared host to dedicated server.Anybody knows how to set wget to download the .htaccess file and keep the file/directory's permission the same as they used to be on the old server?
I only knows these:wget -b -c -r -l0 -np -nH -t0

I have the following Apache redirect code in .htaccess:
RewriteRule ^sap-latest-news/([0-9]*)/([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*).htm$ /domain.com/app/modules/content/latestNews.php?id=$1 [L]
This redirect works fine on Apache 2.2.8, but doesn't work on Apache 1.3.41
The following is the entry from error_log:
RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^sap-latest-news/([0-9]*)/([A-Za-z0-9_-.]*).htm$'
A simple Rewrite is working fine in Apache 1.3, but the above regualar expression doesn't seem to be working on Apache 1.3. Does anyone know whether Apache 1.3 doesn't support it?
i manage linux apache webserver with a few wordpress blogs and from time to time i see someone inject a malicious .php file into wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ directory.
i think its some bad plugin or theme, but these is more blogs, i ugrade, update, WP, but
how can i setup some monitor to tell me which php file (or even line in php file) injected that malicious .php ? I have linux root access so i can setup anything
I am running into a bit of a problem. Previously, I can add an apache handler through cPanel easily... but now I moved to mediatemplate.net and that feature isn't available on their contol panel. Since they also run apache, I figured that I can set the apache handler manually through an .htaccess file - is that possible? If so, what is the syntax that will enable me to set .html files to be handled like .php files?
There is one setback to this process - this will be a manually inserted file for every directory that I want to do the above stated file handler. Is there an easier way to do this via SSH? I don't have root access, only normal user access.

I have a directory of /flash/1.swf all the way to /flash/4000.swf on my hosting.I am trying with terrible luck to load the flash movies into the container on zomgflash dot com(avoiding possible spam) -- its all setup...it should be loading the movies...I think it's a mod_rewrite problem but I could be wrong...it's basically a clone of iwantmoar dot com(avoiding spam again) -- you'll notice when you type a number after the domain like /238 or /2898 that it loads up /flash/238.swf or /flash/2898.swf into the flash container on the iwantmoar website. That's what I'm trying to get my website to do.
I need them shown like [URL] .... in the address bar... and that would have index.php load up 1.swf in the container if that makes more sense.This is the contents of my .htaccess from my relentless googling:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Rewrite-engine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ /index.php [PT]
</IfModule>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
Does anybody know any solution to prevent this?
Basically every customer can bring server down with malformed htaccess.
Is there any solution to prevent this?
This doesn't help:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=5
</IfModule>
this htaccess causes problems:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
