Question

I’d like to work with pages without trailing slashes. So now I want my URL’s with an trailing slash to redirect (using .htaccess) to the same URL without the trailing slash.

I got two .htaccess files:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  RewriteRule (.*)  public/$1
</IfModule>

And one in my public folder:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
Options -Indexes

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On        
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f         
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>

I tried adding the following rule to the .htaccess file in the public folder:

RewriteRule (.*)/$ $1 [R,L]

But then:
example.com/public/page/view/2/

Redirects to:
example.com/**D:/webserver/**public/page/view/2

Which is obviously not what I want…

Answer 1

Why do you have several .htaccess files? Where are the one’s redirecting to public/$1 stored? You may very well be facing overriding RewriteRule directives that complicate things for you.

Without knowing your setup it’s fairly hard to say how you should be using rewrites – can you specify what things are ACTUALLY looking like?
