Apache .htaccess not working

[deepakfugo]

Hi All,

 

we have built web site in PHP, Mysql Database and Apache web server. Site is running fine on localhost(Window) but when we try to deploy it on our test environment (ubuntu 12.04.2 platform) .htaccess is not working. I am not getting any error like 500 Internal server error or any thing, index page is loading but after that none of the pages are loading.

 

I have enabled mod_rewrite on apache also changed AllowOverride All in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, still its not working.

 

Same files when i deploy on Linux shared hosting is working fine

 

Below are the functions which are used in router class

 

 

 public function loader()

 {

 

/*** check the route ***/

$this->getController();

/*** if the file is not there diaf ***/

if (is_readable($this->file) == false)

{

$this->file = $this->path.'/error404.php';

                $this->controller = 'error404';

}

/*** include the controller ***/

require $this->file;

/*** a new controller class instance ***/

$class = $this->controller . 'Controller';

$controller = new $class($this->registry);

/*** check if the action is callable ***/

if (is_callable(array($controller, $this->action)) == false)

{

$action = 'index';

}

else

{

$action = $this->action;

}

/*echo $action."<br />";

echo "file".$this->file."--".$this->controller;*/

/*** run the action ***/

$controller->$action();

 }

 /**

 *

 * @get the controller

 *

 * @access private

 *

 * @return void

 *

 */

private function getController() {

 

echo  "hi".$_GET['rt'];

/*** get the route from the url ***/

$route = (empty($_GET['rt'])) ? '' : $_GET['rt']; 

if (empty($route))

{

$route = 'index';

}

else

{

/*** get the parts of the route ***/

$parts = explode('/', $route);

echo "<pre>";

print_r($parts);

$this->controller = $parts[0];

if(isset($parts[1]))

{

echo $this->action = $parts[1];

}

}

if (empty($this->controller))

{

$this->controller = 'index';

}

/*** Get action ***/

if (empty($this->action))

{

$this->action = 'index';

}

 

/*** set the file path ***/

$this->file = $this->path .'/'. $this->controller . 'Controller.php';

}

 

 

below is the .htaccess file

 

RewriteBase /var/www/pepnew/

RewriteEngine on  

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?rt=$1 [L,QSA]

 

 

Below is the default file on /etc/apache2/sites-available

Hi,

 

I am using WAMP with Drupal 7. I enabled the mod_rewrite module in httpd.conf to enable clean url's in drupal however since then I am unable to run my website due to 500 internal server error. When checked the Apache log I see ".htaccess: RewriteRule: bad flag delimiters". I am unable to figure out the reason for this error.

 

Below is the content for .htaccess placed in website root

 

#

# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:

#

 

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.

<FilesMatch "\.(engine|inc|info|install|make|module|profile|test|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)(|~|\.sw[op]|\.bak|\.orig|\.save)?$|^(\..*|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$|^#.*#$|\.php(~|\.sw[op]|\.bak|\.orig\.save)$">

  Order allow,deny

    # headers themselves. Otherwise all scripts would have to overwrite the

    # headers set by mod_expires if they want another caching behavior. This may

    # fail if an error occurs early in the bootstrap process, and it may cause

    # problems if a non-Drupal PHP file is installed in a subdirectory.

# Various rewrite rules.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

  RewriteEngine on

 

  # Set "protossl" to "s" if we were accessed via https://.  This is used later

  # if you enable "www." stripping or enforcement, in order to ensure that

  # you don't bounce between http and https.

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on

  RewriteRule ^ - [E=protossl:s]

  # includes directories used by version control systems such as Subversion or

  # Git to store control files. Files whose names begin with a period, as well

  # as the control files used by CVS, are protected by the FilesMatch directive

  # above.

  #

  # NOTE: This only works when mod_rewrite is loaded. Without mod_rewrite, it is

  # not possible to block access to entire directories from .htaccess, because

  # <DirectoryMatch> is not allowed here.

  #

  # If you do not have mod_rewrite installed, you should remove these

  # directories from your webroot or otherwise protect them from being

  # downloaded.

  RewriteRule "(^|/)\." - [F]

 

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the 'www.' prefix, you

  # can use one of the following settings to redirect users to your preferred

  # URL, either WITH or WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix. Choose ONLY one option:

  #

  # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,

  # (http://example.com/... will be redirected to http://www.example.com/...)

  # uncomment the following:

  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .

  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]

  # RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

  #

  # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,

  # (http://www.example.com/... will be redirected to http://example.com/...)

  # uncomment the following:

  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]

  # RewriteRule ^ http%{ENV:protossl}://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

 

  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory or in a

  # VirtualDocumentRoot and the rewrite rules are not working properly.

  # For example if your site is at http://example.com/drupal uncomment and

  # modify the following line:

  # RewriteBase /drupal

  #

  # If your site is running in a VirtualDocumentRoot at http://example.com/,

  # uncomment the following line:

  # RewriteBase /

 

  # Pass all requests not referring directly to files in the filesystem to

  # index.php. Clean URLs are handled in drupal_environment_initialize().

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico

  RewriteRule . index.php [L]

 

  # Rules to correctly serve gzip compressed CSS and JS files.

    <FilesMatch "(\.js\.gz|\.css\.gz)$">

      # Serve correct encoding type.

      Header set Content-Encoding gzip

      # Force proxies to cache gzipped & non-gzipped css/js files separately.

      Header append Vary Accept-Encoding

    </FilesMatch>

  </IfModule>

</IfModule>

 

 

Please help. Thanks in advance.

piece of advice which were told to me by hosting people is

-> If you r running on SuPHP dont include any PHP directives on .htaccess file, It will trigger error!!!

-> all your folders should not be in 777 it should be 755...
