I have the following rewrite rule: Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} Catalog\/(string|page)\/ RewriteRule

  • 0

I have the following rewrite rule:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} Catalog\/(string|page)\/
RewriteRule ^Catalog\/(string|page)\/([^\/]+)\/[^\.]+\.html$  Catalog/Catalog.php?$1=$2

RewriteRule is on one line but may be showing on multiple lines here.

My questions is mainly what am I doing wrong. I am not getting any errors so Rewrite is working. The address I am typing in to the browser is www.domain.com/Catalog/string/RT/Round_Tomato.html and what I was hoping to get is www.domain.com/Catalog/Catalog.php?string=RT

I am guessing my regex is messed up but have not been able to get it right.

    I think that the first wrong thing is putting point without backslash before (.) => www.

     ^www\.([^/])/Catalog/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+).html$ www.$1/Catalog/Catalog.php?string=$2

    here is a clear example:

    RewriteRule ^http://www.remotesite.com/(.*)$
    /mirror/of/remotesite/$1

    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

    check this out:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^Catalog/(.+)/(.+)\.html$ /Catalog/Catalog.php?$1=$2

    you should restart your apache server -if it’s a local server- (start and stop) and you must be able to access http://localhost/Catalog/string/RT.html
