Improving mod_rewrite

[liamoco]

Currently my .htaccess looks like the following...

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost
RewriteRule (.*) http://localhost/n/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?node=$1&e=$2 [L]

 

so my url looks something like http://localhost/n/home

 

how can I change this to make my url be http://localhost/home

 

Thanks

Remove the /n  from the first RewriteRule ?

I've tried, it doesn't seem to be as easy as that for some reason

Ok, I understand why this I cannot get this to work, this is what my directory looks like...

 

root ->

.htaccess

            n ->

                    .htaccess

                    index.php

                    home.php

                    b.php

                    c.php

            iframes ->

                    .htaccess

                    index.php

                    d.php

                    e.php

                    f.php

 

The .htaccess in the root dir redirects to the n folder (this is my main website). Everything in the iframes folder will be viewed by other websites via iframes hence calling the folder iframes.

 

If my url looks like http://localhost/home its looking for a folder called "home" in the root dir but that folder does not exist, what can I do to get around this?

In your httpd.conf or vhost file the option "MultiViews" is set, remove that and it should work. For more information on that, look up content negotiation
