Question

i’m using mod_rewrite to rewrite sites like “url.com/foo” to “url.com/index.php?site=foo”.

The Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?site=$1

If i click on a link with href=”/foo” it will give me

http://url.com/foo/?site=foo

The code works at other sites on the same V-Server, i have Boilerplate installed, BUT i dont use the .htaccess of it right now to fix the mod_rewrite, so it cant be a boilerplate issue, or?

I also tried the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?site=$1

That code, at least, rewrites to index.php?site=foo
BUT it still creates url’s like the upper example with the unnecessary folder between.

Edit: to make sure everyone understands the overall idea:

The files are based in http://url.com (index.php, .htaccess) , so i set the RewriteBase to “/”.
It should take links like

http://url.com/foo

and rewrite them to

http://url.com/index.php?site=foo

there are no folders included.

Answer 1

I solved it, damn i’m so stupid 😉

I have a folder called url.com/foo/ and the link im redirecting is url.com/foo to url.com/index.php?site=foo so it is always trying to get into that folder. Since i renamed the folder it is working very well.
