11,760 PointsRewriteRules in subfolder
Hi,
I'm stuck applying the rewriterules.
I have all of them exactly as Randy has but i work on a subfolder in my localhost (/th-php).
The problem happens when i try to access an old URL, if i submit localhost/th-php/shirts.php it redirects me to localhost/shirts/
I tried to figure out where to set my subfolder name in order to rewriterules to work properly but no success so far.
The htaccess file is sitting inside the /th-php/ subfolder in my localhost.
The content of my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirt/%1/? [R=301]
Any tip?

11,760 PointsFinally I had to move the project to the main folder. This way all the Rewrites works as expected. Tried on a shared hosting and works perfectly with a subdomain pointing to the folder where the page is.
But I still have the doubt of how to establish a rewriterule that keeps the subfolder. I thought the RewriteBase adds this but didn't worked as expected.
Anyway, It worked fine just as said in the vídeos but I have to work on the main folder in may local server and the shared hosting. I'm using XAMMP btw, and I will need to change the configuration of the main directory as I did in the shared hosting.
If anyone know how to apply the subfolder to the rewriterules I'm still trying to figure out.
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]

22,986 PointsUnless I'm mistaken, I believe these lines:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirt/%1/? [R=301]
will add a trailing slash to the end of your url. Maybe you could add a similar rule to prefix the query string with your subfolder.
There may be a simpler method, but it depends on your local server software. I you're using MAMP for instance, you can very easily change the home directory.
Also, have you started on ROOT_PATH and BASE_URL at this point?
