How can I improve my website's rewrite rules ?

Postby 2levelsabove » Fri Nov 14, 2008 1:09 pm

There are still some issues if you explore the site.

1). for example I want non existing pages to go to 404.shtml
2). I want the whole site in http format except the payment page which I always want to be at https://alltherides.com/payment.php
3). I just feel that my htaccess file can be made better


C'mon Richard you can do it. You are the smartest mod rewrite person I have ever encountered. Thanks again man

Code: Select all

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .shtml .xml


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^alltherides\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://alltherides.com/$1 [L,R=301]



RewriteRule ^.+_for_sale_([0-9]+).html$ http://alltherides.com/viewlisting.php?id=$1

Richard,
wow that was fast.
ok that worked good.

however when i try going to http://alltherides.com/hhhhhhs/ (hhhhhs) being a non exist directory...look at the 404 message.

An Apache 404 error can't be sent if a rule matches the request (the last rule matches the /hhhhhs/ request). If you want to send a 404 error, either limit the rule to only match exactly what you want, or edit your script to send a 404 header. In PHP, this can be done with header() (the third argument).
