Question

.htaccess redirect

Answer 1

+1 A:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/.+ / [L,R]

That will redirect everything to / as a permanent redirect. Look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html for more information on the flags you can add for transparency etc etc.

If you want this in .htaccess make sure you have the correct override directives in your <VirtualHost > config.

Suhail 2010-06-22 06:04:24

i have the following directives set in my virtual host:<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory>is this correct ?

Change `AllowOverride` to `All`, give that a try

Answer 2

A:

If you want to only redirect if there files and directories don't exists already, then this will work:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/.+ / [R,L]

If you never want to have sub-content accessible then remove the condition rules

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/.+ / [R,L]

You need the `R` flag; otherwise, it's transparent to the user.

no, that doesn't work

Suhail 2010-06-21 15:34:51

Agreed Alvaro, thanks.
