This script is not working. Is it because I am still testing using localhost?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule readnews-news_art_id-(.*)\.html$ readnews.php?news_art_id=$1
looks good.
check your server side permissions.
what means do "not working"
do you get an error 500?
if so you probably need to AllowOverride All on that directory in the webserver config.

So, I have a rails project deployed using apache server. Unfortunately, the domain name is not registered with www. So if I do https://mydoin.com it works but https://www.mydoin.com doesn't. Now what I need is that, if someone uses this URL with www https://www.mydoin.com then I want to remove www from the URL. How can I do this? I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and apache 2.4.
First, you need to register the www.mydoin.com DNS, without this, your server will not be reached by your user. After this, you can configure a redirect in your server or rewrite your requisition, for this, follow this link: How to always remove WWW from a url with mod_rewrite?
This code will auto strip the www. for you even if its a subdomain.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,QSA,NC,L]
If you want to fix you DNS issue just add a 'A' record with www.yourwebsite.com
I want user to only be able to access the https version of the site. I figured out that a way to do this is with a .htaccess file. I've have added the SSL cert and thats all working fine.
I made the .htaccess file and added the following code in it (replacing 'example' with the domain name)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I deployed it and visited http://example.com/ and it loaded just fine as http.
I dont know if because its a rails app that I might need to put the .htaccess file in the public folder, or if there is more I need to do. But from what I read this should work.
I'm using google cloud platform to host my site, and I cant find the VM server type so maybe its not the right server type to run .htaccess files on?
I'm hoping someone here knows how to get this working.
With .htaccess try the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
However, with Rails you can use the following in your environment config:
config.force_ssl = true
I want start to work with Zend Framework 2.0 . I use os x lion and mamp pro. So to start I used this http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/user-guide/skeleton-application.html all good, I see zend project index page, but
To test that your .htaccess file is working, navigate to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost/1234 and you should see this:
If you see a standard Apache 404 error, then you need to fix .htaccess usage before continuing. If you’re are using IIS with the URL Rewrite Module, import the following:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
So I do this, import this lines to .htaccess file in public folder, but nothing change, I have 404 error,
I try to create action named "edit" in indexController, for example, but if I go to
http://zf2-tutorial.localhost/index/edit/ I have 404 error.
What I must do to make it work ?????????????????????
Validate that your httpd.conf has the rewrite module enabled. Usually in /etc/apache2, make sure you have the line LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so in the module section.
If you have default MAMP installation you can go to phpinfo from MAMP start page by clicking phpinfo tab on top. In phpinfo page you can find if mod_rewrite have been loaded. Just click Cmd + f (on Mac) and type mod_rewrite. It should be in "Loaded Modules" section.
Now you should setup your VirtualHost. Open /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf and add this to end of this file:
<VirtualHost *:8888>
ServerName zf2-tutorial.localhost
DocumentRoot /absolute/path/to/your/projects/zf2-tutorial/public
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
<Directory /absolute/path/to/your/projects/zf2-tutorial/public>
DirectoryIndex index.php
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Now add this line
127.0.0.1 zf2-tutorial.localhost localhost
to your /private/etc/hosts file.
Restart MAMP.
After going to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost:8888/ you should see "Welcome to Zend Framework 2" start page. After going to http://zf2-tutorial.localhost:8888/1234 you should see 404 ZF2 page the content of this page should be something like that:
If you see something like that everything is perfectly normal. It means that your mod_rewrite is working and you have been redirected to 404 ZF2 page insted of default apache "Not Found" page like that
I'm running XAMPP on Ubuntu and I'd like to create a virtual host for my projects, so that I have a tld assigned to my server root directory (for example .local) and folders inside it accessible through URLs as http://foldername.local.
Also, how much more complicated would it be to use .htaccess to have http://someotherdomain.local redirect to the /foldername path in the server root?
I've managed to do it on my own. It is possible to do it, however you'll need to install a DNS server.
Note: I decided to use .dev as my local domain, so in the following
examples, the dev part will refer to my chosen domain. Keep that in
mind.
Install and configure DNS Server
It shouldn't matter which one it is, but you'll need to know how to configure it properly. The configuration depends on which DNS server you chose. I went for dnsmasq. It's lightweight and very handy.
An important note for Ubuntu users is that since Ubuntu 11.10 there is
already a light version called dnsmasq-base installed, which will
cause conflicts during installation. I won't be explaining here how to
get around this, because there are many instructions available elsewhere.
Once you have your DNS server installed, you should configure it to listen for the address equal to your desired domain.
In my case with dnsmasq, that meant opening /etc/dnsmasq.conf and
changing line #62 to this: address=/dev/127.0.1.1
Configure Web server
Assuming that you already have some kind of Server software installed, you need to make a few tweaks.
First, you should edit your hosts file to map your desired domain to your localhost.
in my case of XAMPP for Linux on Ubuntu, this means I opened
/etc/hosts and changed lines
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 tomica-ubuntu
to
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 tomica-ubuntu dev
This will redirect http://dev to my local server.
Next, create a new virtual host with a couple of specific options, like this:
In my case, that means opening
/opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf and adding this at the end of
the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/dev"
ServerName dev
ServerAlias *.dev
<Directory /opt/lampp/htdocs/dev>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
For the sake of brevity, I won't explain this piece of code, since
documentation is also available.
After all this is done, start your DNS and Web servers, or restart them if they're already running.
Configure .htaccess
Open root folder of your newly created host. That's the folder devined in your . In my case, that's /opt/lampp/htdocs/dev. In there, create a .htaccess file and put this in it:
# Specify order of index files; if none exist, show files list
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
# Interpret .html files as .php scripts
AddHandler php5-script .php .html
# THE MAGIC - Redirect subdomains of .dev to their respective folders
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.dev$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.*)\.dev(.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^%2\.dev%3?/$ http://dev/%2%{REQUEST_URI}/ [P]
Again, explaining all this would require too much space and time. Just copy/paste and don't worry :) But don't forget to change my dev to anything you chose for your domain name.
AND THAT'S IT! By now you should be able to browse your project using addresses like http://folder.dev/, http://www.folder.dev, http://folder.dev/file.html, http://folder.dev/subfolder/document.txt etc.
As a bonus, I will add just one more advice. The reason why I did all this is so that I could more easily develop my Laravel and WordPress prjects. However, with Laravel, you should redirect the url http://lvproject.dev/ to the location of /lvproject/public. And here is the .htaccess file that enables just that. Open your /lvproject folder, create a .htaccess file and place this code in it:
RewriteBase /lvproject/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} lvproject/index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule index\.php(.*)$ public/ [L]
Two drawbacks of this solution are: 1) RewriteBase rule needs to be set anew for every new project (i.e. you need to manually create .htaccess in each new project); 2) Your project will be available from both http://lvproject.dev/ and http://lvproject.dev/public/, which is not cool, but I'm too lazy at the moment to get it fixed :)
My rails app seems to break when it answers on www.example.com, it previously was working fine with just example.com...however I've moved servers recently and would like to know the best way to redirect all www.example.com requests to go to http://example.com/.../
thanks.
This should do the trick, assuming that you have mod_rewrite enabled
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com$1 [R=301,L]
It depends on your server setup and there are different ways. You can just cname www in DNS to the root domain, for one way. If you are running Rails behind Apache then you can do it in Apache with mod_rewrite. If you are taking network requests straight into Rails with eg, mongrel (or webbrick) then you may have to configure those servers, or might have to use Rails routes ?
Hope that helps,

According to the Apache's name-based virtual host documentation the first virtual host is the default host. I use this to make the first entry a catch-all that redirects every "undefined" request to the main site:
# Default catch-all
<VirtualHost *:80>
# Note the lack of a ServerName
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com$1 [redirect=permanent]
</VirtualHost>
# Site 1 - www.example.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
[ the rest of the site config ]
</VirtualHost>
For extra credit you can set up a wildcard DNS entry so that every undefined host (e.g. asdfasdfasdfas.example.com) gets redirected to www.example.com.
You might not want to hear it but I suggest fixing what breaks instead. You've hard coded your domain somewhere in your app, probably in your routing but it is not possible to tell without the specifics of the error(s), and you need to remove that so you, or some other maintainer, won't have to deal with it again in the future.
