.htaccess rewrite

Rails
1

can someone help me with an .htaccess rewrite?

i’m trying to convert all requests to “/?spot=8888” to be “/locations/
888”.

thanks.

Hi,

Try this .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/locations/(.*)$ /?spot=$1

3

That didn’t work (and appears to be backwards). I tried the following
w/ no luck…

RewriteRule ^/?spot=(.)$ /locations/$1
RewriteRule ^/?spot=(.)$ /locations/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule /?spot=(.*)$ /locations/$1 [R=301,L]

This is also for a subdomain under Rails…

http://m.domain.com/?spot=8888
to
http://m.domain.com/locations/8888

@abhishek - you can catch all traffic on a port and redirect like this
(but beware of an infinite loop)…

RewriteCond '%{SERVER_PORT}" “^12004$”
RewriteRule “^(.*)$” “http://%{SERVER_NAME}$1” [R=301,L]

Anyone able to help me with a redirect from “/?spot=8888” to “/
locations/8888”? Simple yet elusive :frowning:

guys even my problem is somewhat related to the same as currently hosted
my
application on bluehost which is running on port 12004. so when every i
try
to access my site “http:///www.mydomain.com” its redirect me to "
http://mydomain.com:12004" so if some one guide me that will be very
helpful
thanks…

regards
abhishek

You should be able to set this up through .htaccess with logging
set to go to a directory you have write permissions to.

You probably want to turn on/up rewrite logging for more information
on /why/ you’re having “no luck”, instead of guessing :slight_smile:

Something like:

RewriteLog “/usr/local/apache-httpd-2.2.9/logs/rewrite.log”
RewriteLogLevel 3

See the httpd docs for more info.

HTH,
