Netfirms Finally Has Mod_rewrite!
May 1, 2006
Hey guys... Not sure if this was posted yet, couldn't find anything on a first-glance search.
Netfirms has finally added mod_rewrite capabilities as well as better .htacces support! Now I'm completely happy. I was considering switching over to Dreamhost due to the fact that I've started running blog software and messy URLs = crap. Now there's no need. That was pretty much the only thing that was holding me back from a full endorsement, so if anyone's looking for a good cheap hosting plan, here's some of the stuff that I'm really happy about for $5 a month:
- quick, personal customer service (I think there's only 1 or 2 guys, and they always seem to be able to answer my questions on the spot)
- mod_rewrite
- .htaccess
- reliable clean FTP (no _vti files or other annoying folders like so many companies these days)
- good online knowledgebase
- nice online site stats viewer
- a bunch of other great stuff that I probably have forgotten about or don't use
- only $5!
Just thought I'd share in case the news hadn't spread yet. Not sure when they added it, but I noticed the "NEW" sticker today.

So far the site is in a folder with all the other files it needs, and loads perfectly on my computer.
Now, I buy hosting with a site such as [url], c who will also let me buy a domain for my site...
I send the files over an FTP connection.. I have totally forgot all the input I have to put into the FTP.. I figure it will be... My host account's username and password, maybe the server's IP adress or root domain?
So now my only concern is picking a host who offers best value for a monthly rate (obveously), and also one who will let me buy a domain name from they, and get everything up and running at once.

They have over a million sites hosted with them. I reckon they must be fairly reliable and good.

I recently ran into some problems:
- They doesn't support custom installation of PHPMyAdmin on their servers (You MUST use their own admin panel/pre-installed PMA or activate remote connexions)
I'm not sure to understand why PMA doesn't work, but when you create a PHP Script, you must use "MYSQLHOST" as the server host, instead of the usual "localhost". I think that PMA doesn't use the mysql_connect way to connect to the database. So maybe they doesn't allow TCP or Socket connection.
Anyway, that said, if you don't need a custom installation of PMA, you're OK for that point.
- They doesn't support the PHP FreeTypeLib, if you plan to generate image with the GD lib and add some text into it, it may be hard to get a decent result. ( Here I'm thinking of anti-bot confirmation code )
- They doesn't offer any uptime guarantee, and they have no policy in case your server will encounter sporadic down time (just the one I used did for the past 2 weeks)
... And it would be so much a problem if they where offering a reliable service and/or if they where standing behind their costumers. For that, I've been a little deceived.
{
More about the down time experience:
So we have contacted the support team, who said that the site is working well at the moment where we called. They doesn't seem to understand what an intermittent problem is.
They said that, as they doesn't see the trouble at the time of the call, they canot do anything (I was expecting them to place an http probe/monitor or something)
They asked us to take a screenshot of our browser next time that we encounter a down time. ( yes, I'm NOT kidding... a screenshot ! That's what I call technical support
}
I'm not ready to say that they are a bad hosting service, but, they are a little special as you see.

Im having bandwidth problems with NetFirms. Using FTP I can get 700KB/sec but when I download from my website using http, it seems to be capped at 160KB/sec. Has anyone else had this problem?
This is ridiculous. I should be getting the same speed, or at least close.

Hi, I'm going to open a site (visitors outside US) using tons of space and data transfer.
It's something need lots of space like file hosting (but most file less than 10 mb each)
So i need an affordable dedicated (or semi-dedicate) with less than $100 a month to host my site. Until it grow and i can move site to local provider (better speed, more expensive)
Currently i aimed to netfirms enterprise 2. it's $69 a month, 100 GB Space/2000 Data Trans.
Do you recommend this to me ? Or other's are better.

A client of mine insists that his friend is doing great with Netfirms, however I hear a lot of conflicting opinions.
Please, give me the good, the bad and the ugly so I can give some more rounded advice to my client.

I am wondering how to set up a nameserver on my new VPS with 1and1.
I have all my domains hosted on netfirms.
This is what I have done, but doesnt seem to be working:
i have a domain ex: mycompany.com on netfirms and i created an A Record that is ns1.mydomain.com that points to the ip of the VPS ex: 55.55.55.55
I have also created an ns2.mydomain.com. I did this through the netfirms control panel
Is there anything else i need to do?

I have short-listed the hosting services I initially liked down to the following:
1. FatCow
2. An Hosting
3. Host Excellence
4. Netfirms
5. StableHost
6. A Small Orange
Which of them would be most suitable for me. I am about to start a small online business: two websites and a couple of blogs.
I am after proven reliability, 24/7 support, no down time and many resources (which most do anyway).

Its October and I have a Server at home with me running NO CONTROL PANEL... I have been using it for 5 years now... But my problem is my mod_rewrite is not working... I have tried fixing it... But I can't find it in the httpd.conf file where I heard it was at... They said it came by default by Apache..
I'm running Apache2.2.4, Fedora Core 7), PHP 5, MySQL 5.... I don't see the mod_rewrite on there....

I have a list of categories that i want to rewrite the URL to display the names instead.
I'm using this:
RewriteMap catlist txt:C:/web/apache2/htdocs/catnames.txt
RewriteRule ^/cats/(.*)$ /categories.php?catid=${catlist:$1|0}
catnames.txt consists of
CategoryName 6
AnotherCatName 8
OnemoreCatName 9
.....
and so on.
This works fine on my local windows PC since i'm using httpd.conf to set this up.
When i use this on my server under .htaccess, the error log says "RewriteMap" not allowed here.
I it only to find out that i cant use RewriteMap under .htaccess... Is there any other alternative to achieve this without listing all the category names with corresponding rewriteurl statements in my .htaccess file?

does mod-rewrite consume ram?
actually found in new vb discussion of seo friendly urls and mod rewrite was an option for most friendly url, so wanted to know if constant usage of mod-rewrite adds additional load to the server or not?
forum which I and my friends use are pretty big more than 6k in a forum and other above 25k, with 250k posts in 1 forum and 600k posts in the other, so just give me an idea on wat can happen due to constant overwritten?

So I've setup a server heres the spec provided by Webmin
Operating systemUbuntu Linux 8.10
Webmin version1.470
Time on systemSun Mar 29 18:56:12 2009
Kernel and CPULinux 2.6.27-11-server on i686
System uptime5 days, 19 hours, 42 minutes
I'm struggling with mod_rewrite their seems to be no such thing...
Its not mentioned in the apache2.conf or httpd.conf, httpd.conf was blank previously but I added in certain things to get php working but I cannot get mod_rewrite working, which brings the question forward what else am i missing?
I started out with the aim of blocking the ability of viewing directories.
Quote:
Loaded Modules core mod_log_config mod_logio prefork http_core mod_so mod_alias mod_auth_basic mod_authn_file mod_authz_default mod_authz_groupfile mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_autoindex mod_cgi mod_deflate mod_dir mod_env mod_mime mod_negotiation mod_php5 mod_setenvif mod_status mod_vhost_alias
So how can I go about getting mod_rewrite setup and/or what ever else I'm missing that I might find essential later on once I have everything setup?

I am struggling to get this .htaccess file to work with lighttpd, i am not a coder so its very hard for me to fix it, hopefully if someone knows how can tell me how to write rewrite code that will get it working.
{quote}
1. Comment the 2 lines below if the server returns 500 errors!
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
#Uncomment following lines if you want to use image caching!
#<IfModule mod_expires.c>
1. ExpiresActive On
2. ExpiresDefault A1209600
3. ExpiresByType text/html A1
#</IfModule>
1. Uncomment following lines if Apache doesnt support MultiViews!
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
1. Uncomment the 2 lines below if you are using www.domain.com # as the baseurl for the site and users access your site # via domain.com (THIS IS REQUIRED FOR JQUERY TO WORK)
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* loader.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
1. Edit below lines and set to
2. ErrorDocument CODE /RELATIVE/error.php
3. If the script is installed in the default document
4. root then relative is null.
#ErrorDocument 401 /error.php
#ErrorDocument 403 /error.php
#ErrorDocument 404 /error.php {/quote}
looks like its calling the rule from loader.php file, now how can i convert this to lighttpd language,

I have been using apache and php-cgi and it works well together but when I tried to use
mod_rewrite it stopped working and I got "Internal Server Error" result.
Apache error log showed "FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server"
I think that mod_rewrite rules are ok because when I refer to some HTML file then it all works.
Apache 2.2.14 and php 5.2.11

I'm trying to redirect everything except the subdomains from an old domain to a new domain. The following appears to work so far:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub1.olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub2.olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub3.olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub4.olddomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But the subdomains also seem to be loading rather slow. Am I doing anything wrong here? Is there any way to optimise or simplify this (I have around 11 subdomains on the old domain)?

I am attempting to redirect any subdomain as follows:
subdomain(dot)domain(dot)com to
domain(dot)com/index.php?user=subdomain
I am having some issues doing this though. None of the samples online seem to work. Do I need a wildcard subdomain? Do I need to do anything to the dedicated linux server I am on? I have other sites on the same server all using mod_rewrite successfully.
Here is what I have so far:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^w{3}. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php?user=%1 [L]
Is there anything I am missing to get this thing working?

I had the sysadmin install SuPHP - so that my upload script would work properly, however now my mod_rewrite is broken.
You can view the problem here: [url]
It is supposed to show the item with id 29, as you can see. However it shows the gallery index (As if /gallery/ was typed in without the view-29)
The .htaccess file:
Code:
#.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
#This will force trailing slashes
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^*(css|png|jpe?g|gif)
RewriteRule ^(.+)/(.+)/?$ $1.php?args=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1.php [QSA,L,NC]
My very framework relies on the .htaccess working this way... I can turn it off, however I would really rather not - so if you have any idea how I can fix this, please do tell.
And on a related note, is it possible to run PHP under a user and not use cgi_php?

I've got a big .htaccess file which works brilliantly in mod_rewrite for apache. However, the client I want to use it for uses a windows server which is based on IIS.
Does anyone have experience with rewriting urls on IIS. Is it easy, could I easily change this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(.+).php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/products.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/special-offers.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/best-sellers.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/spares.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/css/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/components/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Special_Offers
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Best_Sellers
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Spares
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ products.php?show=cats&main_category=$1
Into something that would work. Someone mentioned using asp.net but I've never looked at this before, and can't afford to spend too long this.
Is there a quick/reliable solution (apart from switching webserver).

If I want to apply a rule if (Condition A and (Condition B OR Condition C)) is true, will the following work?
RewriteCond Condition A
RewriteCond Condition B [OR]
RewriteCond Condition C
Or will the following?
RewriteCond Condition B [OR]
RewriteCond Condition C
RewriteCond Condition A
Or neither? Or both?
