I am using this htaccess file. Everything is working fine except that first RewriteRule.

  • 0

I am using this htaccess file. Everything is working fine except that first RewriteRule.
When I open localhost/music/test/ I get a 404 not found error.
When I open localhost/music/ or localhost/music/a/b/etc/ it works like it should.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong here?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$

RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1&sid=$2 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1&sid=$2&tid=$3 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1&sid=$2&tid=$3&fid=$4 [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1&sid=$2&tid=$3&fid=$4&fiid=$5 [NC,L,QSA]

Could the apache conf or the virtualhost break the htacces file for one line?

apache conf is the default conf (apt-get apache2)

virtualhost file

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin wouter1994_67@hotmail.com
    ServerName sites
    DocumentRoot /var/www/sites
    <Directory /var/www/sites>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

Note: the music dir is inside the sites dir

    RewriteCond directives only affect the first immediate RewriteRule, so the 3 conditions you have:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$

    Are only applied to the first rule:

    RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/$ /music/index.php?id=$1 [NC,L,QSA]

    And all the other rules aren’t bound by those 3 conditions. The reason why the first rule probably never gets applied is because you have the condition: %{REQUEST_URI} !/$ which says if the URI does not end with a slash. But the rule itself requires that the URI ends with a slash (^([^/]*)/$). I’m going to assume that your conditions are missing a ^ in front of them and that you meant:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$

    As in, does not start with a . and is not a /. You’ll also want to duplicate those conditions for each of the RewriteRule entries that you have if you want them to also be applied to the other rules.
