rewrite 404 for files

[XpertWorlock]

Question, when doing a mod rewrite when it comes to long urls lets say for example ;

 

test.php?id=1

 

to

 

test/1

 

Now, all the files (css, js) are looking for them in the "1" directory which obviously does not exist.  I have listed everything as relative.

 

Is the fix for this to link everything absolute?

Yes, all resources will need to be relative to root (i.e. absolute). Obviously you also need to make sure your REGEX patterns don't match the name of the css/js/img files.

[XpertWorlock]

you say absolute and than relative?

 

you mean the full absolute url in each css file like

 

http://whatever.com/css/stylesheet.css

 

?

 

 

[cags]

I said absolute, then 'relative to root'. They essentially mean the same thing. If 'style.css' is in a folder called 'css', which is in the root directory, then it's path relative to root is '/css/style.css' which should references the exact same location as 'http://domain/css/style.css'.

I know what you mean, and I must be missing something, perhaps from the .htaccess file

 

The link to the css file in the test file, which is in the root directory:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylesheet.css"/>

 

So naturally searching

 

test.php?id=1

 

would work fine, but since it's being changed to

 

test/1

 

it isn't...  Sorry to repeat myself, but better more info than less.  Here is what the .htaccess file is.

 

Options +FollowSymLinks   
RewriteEngine On   
  
RewriteRule ^test/([0-9]+)/?$ test.php?id=$1 [NC]

 

Correct?

[cags]

The rule is right, but the location of your script isn't, you haven't made it relative to root, it is relative to 'current directory', which because of the rewrite is '1'.

 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/stylesheet.css"/>

I got it, thanks for your help cags

My problem was with WAMP.

 

A separate directory for a project was causing your '/' to look in the 'localhost' directory.

 

Is there any easy way of having it work both on a site and offline?

 

Example project being http://localhost/testProject

 

Looks for CSS or whatever in localhost directory and not testProject, or am I required to load everything straight into the localhost folder?

[cags]

You'll need to set-up a 'proper' localhost set-up, by creating a vhost for each project you do.

 

I wrote/recorded this awhile ago before I knew a great deal about Apache configuration, but it get's the main points across...
