Question

I am trying to build a multilingual website with Drupal.

I like to have the following url format

http://domain/[language]/[node id]

so I added the following rule to .htaccess for testing purpose

RewriteRule ^jpn/[0-9]$ jpn.html

The problem is that the rule is overwritten by the following rule

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

How do I have multiple rewrite rules?

Answer 1

Your second RewriteRule has the L Flag set, which means that if the rule matches, no further rules will be processed.

If you want your first rule to also stop any further processing, add the L Flag to it as well.

RewriteRule ^jpn/[0-9]$ jpn.html [L]

Also make sure that your second rule is listed last, because it matches everything (.*) and thus, Apache will never see any other rule after it.

Edited: the L Flag URL
