htaccess rewritecond, rewriterule

help with rewritecond, rewriterule

[almond123]

Hi,

i'm a noob in htaccess coding, so could you help me

i am trying to add a slash at the end of a given url.

how can i redirect url for example

[site.example.com...] to [site.example.com...]

also cms is a directory, so i need a rewrite rule, which indicates that if ther's no other characters it will redirect.

http://site.example.com/cms - Redirect
http://site.example.com/cms/asd - Don't redirect

my htaccess code is :

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(libs¦modules) - [F,L]

#here should be redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /cms$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.example.com/cms/ [R,L]
#redirect end

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* /index.php?cms=1&url=$0 [PT,L]

Thanks

You were checking REQUEST_FILENAME instead of REQUEST_URI, and Apache may have already (internally) added a trailing slash to this path. There were also several other inefficiencies --large and small-- in the code, all of which are corrected below. Notably, the last rule will now run at least 50% faster, and you may even notice this speed increase from the browser view.

# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
#
# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(libs¦modules) - [F]
#
# Externally redirect to add trailing slash to requests for "/cms"
RewriteRule ^cms$ http://site.example.com/cms/ [R=301,L]
#
# If not a request for index.php
RewriteCond $1 !^index\.php$
# RewriteCond $1 !(\.(gif¦jpe?g¦css¦js¦ico)¦^robots\.txt¦sitemap\.xml)$
# and if requested URL does not resolve to existing file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Internally rewrite to index.php/cms=1&url=<requested-URL-path>
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?cms=1&url=$1 [PT,L]

Important: Replace the broken pipe "¦" characters with solid pipe characters before use; Posting on this forum modifies the pipe characters.

Consider adding further exclusions to the final rule for robots.txt, sitemap.xml, any requested URL-path that ends with .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .css, .js, or .ico, and any other frequently-requested objects which you *know* must (or should) exist on your server. Avoiding unnecessary file- and directory-exists checks will result in server speed improvements and less wear-and-tear on your hard drive. I show an example RewriteCond (currently commented-out) to exclude some of these objects.

Also consider adding canonicalization rules to redirect direct client requests for /index.php to "/", and to redirect non-canonical hostname requests to the canonical hostname (e.g. redirect non-www to www). If added, these rule should go after your trailing-slash redirect.

thanx for your answer, but it doesn't help,

RewriteRule ^cms$ [site.example.com...] [R=301,L] works great, but it doesn't redirect when ther's
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?cms=1&url=$1 [PT,L]

it sort of doesn't react to this line

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying above.

Please state what URL-paths you tested with, what results you expected, and how those results differed from what you expected. Include any relevant lines from your server error log.

The second line (the one with [PT] in it) isn't a redirect, so I also don't understand what you mean.
