Question

My URL structure is like

http://www.example.com/folder/index.php?dir=dir1

To be able to access it from

http://www.example.com/folder/dir1

and at the same time redirect the 1st URL to 2nd one, my htaccess (in ‘folder’) is

Options +FollowSymLinks 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^dir=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [L,R=301,NE]

RewriteRule ^(.+)/? index.php?dir=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?dir=$1 [L,QSA]

The Redirect and Rewrite were working perfect until recently I switched from NGINX back to APACHE.

The trouble is that it is now also rewriting file extensions which I don’t want!

How can I only apply it only to directories and exclude ALL files from it?

Answer 1

Figured it out! 🙂

Actually had to add

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

before the first rewrite!

So the htaccess looks like:

Options +FollowSymLinks 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /folder

RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^dir=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [L,R=301,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^(.+)/? index.php?dir=$1 [L,QSA]
