mod_rewrite help

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 06.2006

I’ve placed a file on my website, which is accessible at
[url]http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/index.php[/url]

I want to configure my .htaccess in a way that if someone visit either of the following URLs

[url]http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/[/url]
[url]http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test-abc/[/url]
[url]http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test-123/[/url]

server should read /misc/seo_test/index.php on each request.

I’ve placed .htaccess into /misc/seo_test directory with following code, which is not working at the moment..

[code]
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^misc/seo_test-(.*)$ /misc/seo_test/index.php
[/code]

Can you please fix this mod_rewrite code and also let me know if it’s ok to upload this .htaccess file into /misc/seo_test/ directory instead of placing it at ‘/’ (public_html)?

@_lt_Eddie_gt_May 07.2006 — You're making life much harder for yourself doing things that way. Also, you're collecting variables and not doing anything with them. Try the following:

The page is:
<i>
</i>http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/index.phpPreferred addresses are:
<i>
</i>http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/
http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/abc/
http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/123/These should relate to:
<i>
</i>http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/index.php
http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/index.php?test=abc
http://www.mydomain.tld/misc/seo_test/index.php?test=123The [FONT=Courier New]mod_rewrite[/FONT] is:
<i>
</i>Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule misc/seo_test/(.*)/$ /misc/seo_test/index.php?test=$1
Oh, and it goes in the root which is your [FONT=Courier New]public_html[/FONT] folder.

If you get problems with it then the first point would be to fiddle with the relative paths you're calling as this is 99% of most errors.

Success!
