[users@httpd] Problems with an extra Rewrite Rule before a RewriteCond
Hi.
I'm trying to create an additional Rewrite Rule appart from those
created by default by my application (in this case, Wordpress). The
extra line (within '.htaccess') is:
-------
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,L]
-------
However, I want users see 'http://myblog.com/faq' and not
'http://myblog.com/index.php?page_id=379'. This line works with other
Apache configurations, but not with mine. Any suggestion?
.htaccess
---------------------------------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
DirectoryIndex index.php
# MY OWN REWRITE RULES
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,L]
# Rewrite www.domain.com to domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://%1/$1 [R,L]
#uploaded files
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule . - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Start by replacing the [R] flag with [PT] and then see what you get.

Instead of 'http://myblog.com/faq' URL I see
'http://myblog.com/index.php?page_id=379'. The information is OK, but
I think it's an ugly URL.

Nope

There's no error

Yep, but I've got the same problem.

As you've been told repeatedly, you can't use "R" if you don't want
the browser to see the new URL.
So the only one of those that makes any sense at all is the last one.
But what the heck does "It's caught by index.php" mean? Isn't that the
idea? What exactly happens?

That's a garbage config. Where did you get that from. Something closer would be
RewriteRule ^/faq /index.php?page_id=119 [L]
and perhaps better
RewriteRule ^/faq /full/path/to/index.php?page_id=119 [L]
If you still can't get it to work, you MUST use the RewriteLog to
debug your problems. Using mod_rewrite with the RewriteLog is just
flailing in the dark.

Thank you everybody.
However I'm still gettint the same odd effect. I tried:
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,L] ---> it doesn't mask the URL
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 [R,TP] --> Internal server error
RewriteRule ^faq index.php?page_id=119 --> it's caught by index.php, I suppose
I also tried by editting it on 'httpd.conf':
RewriteRule http://myblog.com/faq http://myblog.com/index.php?page_id=119 [R,L]
..
But I'm not sure Apache is taking it into account. :(

Do as Joshua pointed out. First try without any flags at all, and in
case that doesn't work try with [PT].
I expect you won't need any flags.

I'm a bit confused. R means redirect, meaning the server sends the 301 or 302 header to the browser. In either case, the browse will redirect to the new URL and that's what will show in the address bar. How evactly do you make things redirect without proxying and without a change in the address bar?

Russ, you're correct regarding [R] but incorrect pertaining to [P] in
this case. He's rewriting to a local script so there's no need for
proxying. And as he requested, the client won't see the change.
However, I suspect he'll see a loop as this is in .htaccess and
further down the ruleset '.' is rewritten to index.php again.
Thomas, if you get a loop, add this line before your custom rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php

How exactly isn't is working? Do you see a loop? What does the error
log tell you? Are you able to edit the main server config file to
enable rewrite logging?
