Apache&#39;s [`RewriteCond`][1] as well as the [`RewriteRule`][2] directive support the exclamation mark to specify a non-matching pattern:

&gt; You can prefix the pattern string with
&gt; a &#39;!&#39; character (exclamation mark) to
&gt; specify a non-matching pattern.

This should work:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forums.*
    RewriteRule !\.(js|gif|css|jpg|png)$ /index.php [L]

--&gt; redirect all requests not beginning with *forums* and not ending with the listed suffices to index.php

Might be a n00b question, but I currently have a class that implements an iterator so I can do something like 

    for i in class():

but I want to be able to access the class by index as well like 

    class()[1]

How can I do that?

Thanks!

How may I perform a rule if the URL is _NOT_ matching the path &quot;forums&quot;?

For example:

    RewriteCond IF URL IS NOT forums
    RewriteRule !\.(js|gif|css|jpg|png)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L]



Rewrite rule if condition is not matched

How may I perform a rule if the URL is NOT matching the path "forums"?
For example:
<pre><code class="hljs language-ruby">RewriteCond IF URL IS NOT forums
RewriteRule !\.(js|gif|css|jpg|png)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/index.php [L]
</code></pre>

The problem is in the question. I&#39;ve done a thorough investigation for solutions in regards to this and I know there are topics to this and I&#39;ve followed them too and nothing has worked. That being said I&#39;ll list out exactly everything I&#39;ve done so far. I am running PHP 5.2.14 with Zend Debugging on the latest Eclipse version on my Windows XP computer. I have a 1 GB of RAM. I have XAMPP running with Apache, MySQL, and FileZilla installed. 

On XAMPP I&#39;ve done the following (Apache was off during these changes):
Clicked on *Admin* from the XAMPP Control Panel and went to `https:// localhost/xampp/`. From there I accepted the certs from this line on the welcome page:

&gt; For OpenSSL support please use the test certificate with https:// 127.0.0.1 or https:// localhost.

On that same section I checked `phpinfo()`. Under &#39;Environment&#39;, `SERVER[&quot;HTTPS&quot;]` is `on`. Under &#39;Apache Environment&#39;, `HTTPS` is `On`. Under &#39;PHP Variables, `_SERVER[&quot;HTTPS&quot;]` is `On`. Under &#39;Phar&#39;, `OpenSSL support` is `disabled` (install ext/openssl). I don&#39;t know how to enable the Phar one.

Now regarding the files themselves in C:\xampp, I went to the PHP folder. Under both production and development php.ini files (better safe than sorry), I have `allow_url_fopen=On`, `allow_url_include=On`, and I removed the semicolon, so that `extension=php_openssl.dll` is no longer commented out. I even confirmed that the .dll is in the ext folder of the PHP folder. Both libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are in the PHP and Apache folders. The Apache folder doesn&#39;t contain either productive or development php.ini files.

I&#39;ve went to http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html and installed Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.0d for safe measure.

Now the line of code in question in my retrieve_website.php looks like this:
    
    $urlquery = &quot;https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=&quot;.$appid.&quot;&amp;cx=&quot;.$google_searchid.&quot;&amp;q=&quot;.$query.&quot;&amp;alt=atom&amp;num=&quot;.$results;
    $xmlresults = file_get_contents($urlquery);

I have two other websites that I query but they are served via HTTP and they work fine. I also have this line of code entered near the end of the script:

    echo &#39;openssl: &#39;,  extension_loaded  (&#39;openssl&#39;) ? &#39;yes&#39;:&#39;no&#39;, &quot;\n&quot;;
    echo &#39;http wrapper: &#39;, in_array(&#39;http&#39;, $w) ? &#39;yes&#39;:&#39;no&#39;, &quot;\n&quot;;
    echo &#39;https wrapper: &#39;, in_array(&#39;https&#39;, $w) ? &#39;yes&#39;:&#39;no&#39;, &quot;\n&quot;;
    echo &#39;wrappers: &#39;, var_dump($w);

When I run it as a PHP Script on Eclipse, everything outputs perfectly fine the way I want along with these results:

    openssl: yes
    http wrapper: yes
    https wrapper: yes
    wrappers: array(10) {
      [0]=&gt;
      string(5) &quot;https&quot;
      [1]=&gt;
      string(4) &quot;ftps&quot;
      [2]=&gt;
      string(3) &quot;php&quot;
      [3]=&gt;
      string(4) &quot;file&quot;
      [4]=&gt;
      string(4) &quot;data&quot;
      [5]=&gt;
      string(4) &quot;http&quot;
      [6]=&gt;
      string(3) &quot;ftp&quot;
      [7]=&gt;
      string(13) &quot;compress.zlib&quot;
      [8]=&gt;
      string(14) &quot;compress.bzip2&quot;
      [9]=&gt;
      string(3) &quot;zip&quot;
    }

Despite all these changes I&#39;ve made (after I started up Apache), I still get the same errors the first time I access my PHP script in Eclipse and Firefox via http://localhost/tutorial/retrieve_website.php:

&gt; Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Unable to find the wrapper &quot;https&quot; - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in C:\xampp\htdocs\tutorial\retrieve_website.php on line 29&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

What is it that I have overlooked or failed to do? To my own knowledge, I&#39;ve done everything that I&#39;ve researched about concerning HTTPS and OpenSSL


Unable to find the wrapper &quot;https&quot; - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Once again, I have a problem with my apache virtual host configuration. (The default configuration is used instead of my specific one).

The problem is not really the misconfiguration but how to solve it. 

Does anyone has good advices to do resolve this kind of problem quickly?


Some more informations.

The default conf file is this one:


    NameVirtualHost *
    &lt;VirtualHost *&gt;
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    
            DocumentRoot /var/www/
            &lt;Directory /&gt;
                    Options FollowSymLinks
                    AllowOverride None
            &lt;/Directory&gt;
            &lt;Directory /var/www/&gt;
                    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                    AllowOverride None
                    Order allow,deny
                    allow from all
            &lt;/Directory&gt;
    
            ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
            &lt;Directory &quot;/usr/lib/cgi-bin&quot;&gt;
                    AllowOverride None
                    Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                    Order allow,deny
                    Allow from all
            &lt;/Directory&gt;
    
            ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
    
            # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
            # alert, emerg.
            LogLevel warn
    
            CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
            ServerSignature On
    
        Alias /doc/ &quot;/usr/share/doc/&quot;
        &lt;Directory &quot;/usr/share/doc/&quot;&gt;
            Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride None
            Order deny,allow
            Deny from all
            Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
        &lt;/Directory&gt;
    
    &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;

And the virtual host config that doesn&#39;t apply is this one:



    &lt;VirtualHost *:*&gt;
    
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass / http://ip.ip.ip.ip:8088/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://ip.ip.ip.ip:8088/
    ServerName wiki.mydomain.com
    
    &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;




How to debug an apache virtual host configuration?

I have just set up a wi-fi network at home. I have all my files on my desktop computer (192.168.1.56) and want to access localhost over there from another computer (192.168.1.2).

On my desktop I can access localhost through the normal http://localhost. Apache is running on port 80 as usual.

What do I have to do to achieve this? There is documentation on the net but they either don&#39;t work or are too fragmented and confusing to understand.

I think I have to make changes to my apache&#39;s httpd.conf file and the hosts file. Any ideas as to what changes to make?

Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network - how to?

There was a similar question asked here three years ago, but I want to open it up further to include all possible Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP stacks.

Which to do you think is best?

**XAMPP** seems to be the most popular, but I&#39;ve read several bad things about it that make me wonder if it&#39;s as good as its popularity suggests. For example, I&#39;ve heard that their default PHP configuration is very insecure (and apparently their admin app can&#39;t function without these holes being left open). This isn&#39;t terrible for a development situation, obviously, but you may end up relying on something like `register_globals`.

I also spotted something else which makes me concerned: The developers recommend that Vista users disable UAC in order to use their software! 

For me that&#39;s a big red flag. Yes, there are problems with getting something like this running on Vista with UAC enabled, but disabling UAC should never be offered as a solution, especially for newbs (who need UAC more than anyone). It makes me very concerned.

**WampServer** apparently is easier to switch versions of PHP or Apache, if you need to. But it comes with less features than XAMPP (no FTP server, for example).

**EasyPHP** is one that I have no experience of, so I can&#39;t say, but it&#39;s apparently pretty popular, too.

**Alternatives?** There a ton of other stacks [listed on Wikipedia][1]. Do any of these come recommended?

So which do you use, and why do you consider it the best? Did you just stick with the first one you tried?

I imagine most of us just want something quick, light, and up-to-date.

Windows: XAMPP vs WampServer vs EasyPHP vs alternative

As mentioned in the title, Mac OS X doesn&#39;t allow me to name files starting with a dot ( . ).
But, I need an .htaccess file. Or, better, how do I use an htaccess file in Mac OS X without giving it a name starting with a dot?

I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 and [XAMPP][1] 1.7.3.

Mac OS X doesn&#39;t allow to name files starting with a dot. How do I name the .htaccess file?

How to remove `.html` from the URL of a static page? 

Also, I need to redirect any url with `.html` to the one without it. (i.e. `www.example.com/page.html` to `www.example.com/page` ).

How to remove .html from URL?

This seems to be a non-issue for many people (read: I can&#39;t find an answer), but I would like to update the following htaccess code to not only remove the &#39;www&#39; from the URL, but also any sub-directories that are accessed.

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

With this, http://www.example.com/any/ resolves fine, but I want it to redirect to http://example.com/any/ as with the root.

.htaccess Remove WWW from URL + Directories

We have some very basic mod_rewrite rules:

    RewriteRule ^something.swf$ http://www.newdomain.com/something.swf [R=302,L]

mod_rewrite seems to do its job, and if the user is accessing:

`something.swf?param=value`, it is redirected correctly to `http://www.newdomain.com/something.swf?param=value`

the problem is in this situation:

    www.olddomain.com/something.swf?param=URL_ENCODED_VALUE

what ends up happening is mod_rewrite takes it upon it self to re-urlencode the query string param

so what the user ends up with is:

    www.olddomain.com/something.swf?param=URL_ENCODED_VALUE

REDIRECTED TO

    www.newdomain.com/something.swf?param=URL_ENCODED_VALUE_OF_URL_ENCODED_VALUE

so we end up with a double-urlencoded value. boourns!

While I do understand we could make a `\?(.*)` ... `?$1` rule for this, I am thinking there must be a way to tell mod_rewrite NOT to urlencode the query string params... we would like to avoid using 2 rules since valid paths are:

    something.swf (no query string)

and

    something.swf?someparams...

so yea, ideally... just tell mod_rewrite: please, no urlencoding of query string params... just direct passthru to the new URL via `R=302`.

mod_rewrite urlencoding an already urlencoded query string parameter - any way to disable this?

I have following command in my .htaccess

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([a-z0-9-]+)\.example\.com [NC]
        RewriteRule ^(.*?)-([a-z]+) %2/$1.$2 [L]
        RewriteRule ^(.*?)-([0-9]+)([a-z]) %2/$1$3.$2 [L]

%2 is not working in second and later lines.
Can I define any variable for %2 and use it in all RewriteRule commands?
Following command works   

         RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([a-z0-9-]+)\.example\.com [NC]
         RewriteRule ^(.*?)-([a-z]+) %2/$1.$2 [L]
         RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([a-z0-9-]+)\.example\.com [NC]
         RewriteRule ^(.*?)-([0-9]+)([a-z]) %2/$1$3.$2 [L]
But I want use %2 for multiple rule line without duplicating condition.


Multiple RewriteRules for single RewriteCond in .htaccess

Currently I am using the hosting with **lightspeed** server. Hosting says `mod_rewrite` is enabled but I can&#39;t get my script working there. Whenever I try to access the URL, it returns **404 - not found** page.

I put the same codes at another server which is running with Apache. It&#39;s working over there. So I guess, it&#39;s the `.htaccess` and `mod_rewrite` issue.

But Hosting support is still insisting with me that their mod_rewrite is on, so I would like to know how can I check whether it&#39;s actually enabled or not.

I tried to check with `phpinfo()`, but no luck, I can&#39;t find `mod_rewrite` there, is it because they are using `lightspeed`?

Is there any way to check? Please help me out. Thank you.

**FYI:** my `.htaccess` code is

    Options -Indexes
    
    &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    RewriteEngine on
    
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
    &lt;/IfModule&gt;

I tried like this also


    DirectoryIndex index.php
    RewriteEngine on
    
    RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

But same result.
