Some help with httacess on localhost please

[Lussay]

Hi,

I have a site that works perfectly on the live domain.

I tried setting it up on my localhost server though, in order to develop some things, however the redirects don't work properly I am thinking.

I've modified the hosts file under system32 to point to the site and I've tried a lot of stuff but I can not seem to figure it out. By the way, the site resides exactly in the htdocs in a xampp instalation folder, with no other subfolders.

Thanks for your help in advance.

For a simple function that code is way over-complicated.

One thing to first fix is to delete (.*)$ from every condition where you don't actually re-use the captured %n backreference. You're wasting processor cycles reading to the end of the input, capturing it for re-use then not re-using it.

The (/+) pattern matches one or more contiguous slashes. I assume that's the wrong pattern and the capturing parentheses are also not required here.

Literal periods in patterns should be escaped.

Rather than having a huge number of rules, you should make use of the "local OR" function (this|that|other) to reduce the number of lines of code.

Leading "begins with" ^(.*) patterns are always incorrect. The (.*) captures "everything". Since the rule pattern expects to find other stuff after "everything", it has to back off and retry thousands of times to find a match.

The \1 target will likely throw an error. Use a hyphen for "no action". RewriteRule (.*) - [F]
