ryanh_106 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I hate rewrite rules, they always get me stumped, im hoping someone here knows how to use them effectively that can help me! On my web system, all major code goes in a /portal/ folder to keep the server tidy so my structure looks like this htdocs - site1 - site2 - portal I have set up exceptions for site1 and site2, however I want anything that does not start with domain.com/site1 or domain.com/site2 to be redirected to /portal/ but I do not want the user to see this. i.e. if the user types domain.com/mypage.php I want them to actually get domain.com/portal/mypage.php but i DONT want the address to be rewritten in their browser address bar I had this: RewriteRule ^(site1/.*)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(site2/.*)$ $1 [L] RewriteRule ^(?!portal/)(.*)$ portal/$1 But google complains about duplicated pages domain.com/mypage.php and domain.com/portal/mypage.php (obviously these are both the same page, the first has been accessed through the rewrite rule and the second directly) SO: I need a rule that first of all takes off the /portal/ if it is there (which I believe this requires the [R] flag to physically rewrite the URL) and then the rule above will add the /portal/ again but without it being visible to the user (or google) This also needs to work for any domain, including subdomains as the portal hosts several different websites. Please help!! Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/150894-confused-by-rewriterule/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
