Question

I’m trying to get a .htaccess file to work, here is what I need

domain.com/some-slug-url should point to my_folder/display.php?page_url=$1

and

domain.com/some-other-url.html should point other specific rules

Also there is an admin side so I would also need to have something like
domain.com/admin – load admin folder

I think there should be a condition like

if url does not end with .html or is not admin .. then my_folder/display.php?page_url=$1
The problem is that I am not an expert in .htaccess files, but I have tried to do this but with no luck, I know it’s not that complicated but somewhere along the line I lose it and everything works except the /some-slug-url

Thank you
I’ve wasted a lot of time on this trying to get it going.

Answer 1

rewriteengine on

#this one is for /admin
rewriterule ^admin$ /admin [l]

#this one is for pages ending with .html
rewriterule ^(.*)\.html /my_folder/display.php?page_url=$1 [l]

#this one is for pages not ending with .html, and not for /admin
rewriterule ^(.*)$ /someotherpath

Note the use of the [l] parameter, which states that if that rule is matched, htaccess will not loop throught any other conditions.
