File redirects

Uneeded redirects to root

[dbldee]

I tried to find a similiar situation in the forum, but unfortunately I could use some assistance
I have several different index files in subdirectories, however when the subdirectories are called, they all redirect to the root

http://example.com---root
http://example.com/ggrantfd
http://example.com/Affidmgr
http://example.com/jvfsap/jindex.html.

When testing, if .htacces is disabled
http://example.com/ggrantfd - error 500
http://example.com/jvsfap/jindex.html - error 404
http://example.com/Affidmgr - error 500

Some of my rules..

Options -MultiViews
DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^\.]*)?\.htm$ index.php?name=$1 [NC,L]

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE:%{HTTP:If-Modified-Since}]
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_IF_NONE_MATCH:%{HTTP:If-None-Match}]

Any suggestions to prevent the autodirect is appreciated

Thanks

You've defined DirectoryIndex as a PHP file, so .html index files in subdirectories won't be used unless you put an .htaccess file into the subdirectory and specify index.html as a target. Alternatively, you may want to just add index.html to your DirectoryIndex directive in the top-level .htaccess file.

You've got a lot of redundant code there, I hope you understand the code you're using...

Hello Jim

Thanks for responding
I'm no .htaccess guru, but all the index files in the sub directories are php files.
the files noted as jindex.html was denoted for testing as an ordinary html file.

The code supplied is only partial.

Somewhere and somehow Apache is redirecting to the root index

Would a rewrite rule be needed if the subdirectories are on a second domain?

[jdMorgan]

If the 'second domain' is separately-hosted, then a redirect, not a rewrite, would be needed.

This problem is not clear, so can we please have a couple of examples of typed-in URLs that you want to rewrite, what filepath they should be rewritten to (note: a filepath and a URL are not the same thing), and a description of what actually happens when you request those URLs -- to include any error messages found in your server error log file?

You've got several minor things that need to be improved in this code, but tweaking isn't likely going to fix the main problem, so that can wait.

Thanks Jerry

There are multiple domains on the same webserver.

The domain example contains the root with index.php file
The subdirectory ggrantfd contains an unrelated application with a seperate index.php file as does the subdirectory
jvfsap

However the subdirectories are not being loaded and are all being redirected to the root.

Why?

http://example.com
http://example.com/ggrantfd
http://example.com/jvfsap

server logs return no related error info
however httpfox plug-in shows initial connection being re-directed 3 times.

the file path should be
/kunden/homepages/29/d197051712/htdocs/example/ggrantfd.

I not quite sure how the re-direct code is deciphered, but Apache appears to re-writing a 302 redirect which does not appear in the htaccess

thanks

[jdMorgan]

This redirect is likely either in one of your server configuration files (e.g. httpd.conf), or it is being done by one of your scripts. Take a look at your real domains (please do not post them here, as I must 'examplify' them in accordance with our terms of service) in the log file cited above, and see what they 'mean' to you... Does this appear to be an 'exit tracking' function, or an affiliate tracking function... That might give you a hint.

Once you've got the main problem identified, we can clean up your .htaccess code a bit, but your main problem is not in this file.
