[RESOLVED] a simple htaccess question

steamPunk

I know this isn't strictly speaking a PHP problem but it's part of a PHP project

I have got the hang of using REWRITE in the htaccess to process different kinds of urls with a controller file

However I can't find the correct syntax to direct just the domain+TLD with nothing after it like this

http://www.mydomain.com
http://www.mydomain.com/

to this

http://www.mydomain.com/home

I need to be able to say : "match this string but only when there's nothing after the .com"

what would I need to do for this ?

thanks

Here's one way using mod_rewrite:

RewriteRule ^/?$ /home

hi - thanks for your reply - unfortunately it doesn't seem to work

I was being generic in my first post, so here's the specific situation

I'd like to be able to redirect

http://www.passion-terroir.fr
http://www.passion-terroir.fr/

http://www.passion-terroir.fr/accueil

I've tried

RewriteRule ^{passion-terroir.fr/$} index.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /accueil [NC]

and neither work

can you see where i'm going wrong ?

.... or, to put it another way, I'd like it to match

http://www.passion-terroir.fr
http://www.passion-terroir.fr/

but not

http://www.passion-terroir.fr/bla
http://www.passion-terroir.fr/bla/
http://www.passion-terroir.fr/bla/bla
http://www.passion-terroir.fr/bla/bla.php

etc

any ideas at all ?

steamPunk

shouldn't this one work ??

RewriteRule ^{passion-terroir.fr/[^.+]$} index.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]

Only if you have URLs like:

http://www.passion-terroir.fr/passion-terroir.fr/

since the rewrite pattern is matched against the path portion of the URL.

This rule:

RewriteRule ^/?$ /testme.php

redirected me to the "testme.php" script when I tested it via the URL:

http://localhost/

Can you show us the entire contents of your .htaccess file?

steamPunk

ok here it is

SetEnv PHP_VER 5

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=10  

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

RewriteRule ^/?$ /accueil [NC]

RewriteRule ^accueil$ index\.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ index\.php?t=p&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^hebergeurs/(.*)$ index\.php?t=he&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^vignerons/(.*)$ index\.php?t=vi&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^actualites/(.*)$ index\.php?t=ac&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^amis/(.*)$ index\.php?t=am&p_id=$1 [NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^gestion/.*

well this is strange : if I put the rewrites in this order :

RewriteRule ^/?$ /index\.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]

RewriteRule ^accueil$ index\.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ index\.php?t=p&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^hebergeurs/(.*)$ index\.php?t=he&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^vignerons/(.*)$ index\.php?t=vi&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^actualites/(.*)$ index\.php?t=ac&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^amis/(.*)$ index\.php?t=am&p_id=$1 [NC]

it doesn't work, but if I put them in this order :


RewriteRule ^accueil$ index\.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^p/(.*)$ index\.php?t=p&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^hebergeurs/(.*)$ index\.php?t=he&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^vignerons/(.*)$ index\.php?t=vi&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^actualites/(.*)$ index\.php?t=ac&p_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^amis/(.*)$ index\.php?t=am&p_id=$1 [NC]

RewriteRule ^/?$ /index\.php?t=in&p_id=1 [NC]

it DOES work !!

wonders why that should be ...

I guess this is resolved but I wish I knew why

thanks for your help bradgrafelman 🙂
