No joy with mod rewrites

New to mod_rewrite? This is a good place to start.

No joy with mod rewrites

Postby griffen » Sat Oct 03, 2009 8:11 am

Hi there,

I'm having real problems getting mod rewrites to work.

I have enabled them in apache and they're appearing as loaded modules in phpinfo.

I'm trying the most simplest mod rewrite in the land without any joy....I think.

Trying to rewrite:

localhost/test/

to

localhost/test.php

.htaccess file looks like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^test/?$ test.php

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Try this mod_rewrite test.

Have you set AllowOverride to All in the <Directory> for your document root in your httpd.conf file? FAQ: How to enable mod_rewrite.

Did the override previously without any joy.

The test worked though :)

So I tried something a little bit more adventurous....

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

//RewriteRule modrewrite http://localhost/test.php [NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ $1.php [L]


Put:

localhost/test.html
into a browser
Got an Error 500

No joy and not sure why it's not working.

Any ideas?

What does your Apache error_log say is causing the error?

Checked the error log and it all seems a little strange.

Coming back with:

[Sat Oct 03 17:32:10 2009] [alert] [client ::1] C:/xampp/htdocs/.htaccess: Invalid command '//RewriteRule', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

Any ideas?

Right, comments in .htaccess files start with a #.
