Need help with .htaccess - HTML Forums

eventide · 08-03-2009, 05:44 PM

I am doing a little bit of exploring mod_rewrite and the htaccess file.

I tried the following in an .htaccess file placed it in a subdirectory of my site:

Code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !aWebPage.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ../ [NC]

My understanding is that this will allow direct requests to the page "aWebPage.php", but redirect all other traffic to this folder back to the sites's root folder, meaning the index.php file will load. That's my intention, at least...

It kind of works. When the aWebPage.php page is loaded directly, everything is fine, but when I point the browser to any other file in the same folder, the browser is redirected to the root folder (and the index.php file) as intended, but none of the images, css, or java loads for the index.php file- just the text on the page.

However, when I call the index.php file directly it loads fine.

There's something going on here with the redirect that I'm missing/not understanding. Could someone help me out?

Thanks!

It'd be great if anyone had any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong or missing!

Thanks for any help!

(Or maybe I don't have this in the right forum?)

it seems that there's is something wrong in above code !!!
One of our tech support staff advised to use below code and try again

========== Code yto use ===========
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !aWebPage.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [NC]

You need to change RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ../ [NC] to RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [NC]

hope this helps you !!!!

Thanks! I'm glad someone finally answered!

I'll give that a try and let you know if it works.

I finally had a chance to try out the changed code, but unfortunately it didn't work. Now it just allows me to access any file in the folder - as if the rule wasn't there at all...
