.htaccess URL Rewrite for index.php

[Jamie]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get this to work now for a while, so I thought that someone here may be able to help me.

I'm trying to make the URL rewrite work so that I can remove index.php from phpVMS.

I've already been trying myself so the URL Rewrite function in phpVMS is already set to true, I really would like to be able to remove the index.php so if anyone has done this before and can help me it would be much appreciated.

Regards

Jamie

With out modding all the code i dont think you can, its been hardcoded in. Nabeel will be able to reply better to this.

Yeah I tried that and it gave me the errors.

Otherwise I would like to see that in php VMS.

[Nabeel]

There is a rewrite option, you just need to setup the HTACCESS to work properly.

I don't have access to an Apache server with phpVMS on it - if someone wants to give me access to mess with it, I can take a look

[Nabeel]

This ends up need a few changes with how URLs are handled, so it will be available on the next version for sure.

I'm testing to see if an updated version of just the CodonRewrite class will help, so you can have it for current releases, at leas, by just updating that file, and an htaccess

Everything uses the url() function in bootstrap.php, so the fix ends up being pretty simple, but that doesn't even need changing.

Awsome to hear Nabeel.

So how is it done? Is it like that.......

into

Is that right if not, can you clear it up please. Thanks.

[Nabeel]

Yeap, that would be it. Infact, you can test it real quick, see if it works...

Place into /core/classes:

https://github.com/nshahzad/phpVMS/raw/master/core/classes/CodonRewrite.class.php

Then in the root (next to index.php), place in a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1  [L]

See if that works. I can't edit the CodonRewrite file due to a permissions error, and he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

[Kyle]

Will give a go.

Will return shortly.

[Kyle]

Ok, I got the server internal error when I did it.

Nevermind, It works now.

But I'm not sure how to test it. What do you want me to run with?

[Kyle]

I got the error interal server error again.

[Nabeel]

Set the URL_REWRITE setting to true

[Kyle]

Yep, now it does work. Good Job Nabeel.

[Nabeel]

Can you try this full htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options All -Indexes 

# Rewrite Rules
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1  [L]

<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh|tpl)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Try getting to a .tpl file as well

THanks

[Kyle]

Ok,

Will return shortly

[Kyle]

Oh, Mine's the same.

It's does work with no problems.

# main page of the site
DirectoryIndex index.php

# prevent viewing of a specific file
<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh|tpl)$">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# prevent viewing of index
Options -Indexes

#Can give without index.php for the modules
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1  [L]

[joeri]

working for me also nice now

[Nabeel]

thanks guys!

[Kyle]

No Problem Nabeel, Glad to help out this weekend!

[mark1million]

Do you need to update that file plus the htaccess? to get this to work?

[mark1million]

No worries i sorted it

Nabeel, did you manage to get rid of that fs pax message about no aircraft entered?

[Nabeel]

Nabeel, did you manage to get rid of that fs pax message about no aircraft entered?

Can you create a bug for that? Otherwise I wont remember.

Just a warning to all, there are still some issues with this rewrite thing, I have to sort them out soon

[Tom]

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the rewrite, but when using actionurl() it just acts as a url() - I went into the actionurl function in whichever file it hides in and removed the if statement, seems to work now.

[Nabeel]

Yeah, that was fixed in the main tree, I forgot to include that in here

That's probably why things are broken

[icaroce]

Sorry to resurrect the post, i have problem with nginx.

^(.*)$

flag: Continue (last)

condition: -f /index.php?q=$1

Somebody help-me?

[Sava]

Managed to do this but I have an issue where the acars map wont work with just /acars but only with /index.php/acars

Also the OFC library used for charts and stuff is only working with /index.php/

[Txmmy83]

I have the problem that if I switch rewrite on it shows the mainpage without problems but no modules Livemap when click on the links it sends me back to Home any ideas ?

[zubeek]

Having the same issue as above at the moment - any fixes around?

[Txmmy83]

I'm having a similar problem... The .htaccess is configured and URL_REWRITE e set to true. I can atually print_r the q= coming from .htaccess, but wherever I click, it only shows the homepage.

I was having that too. I fixed it by using the CondonRewrite.class.php of David Clark's extended version on Nabeel's full version downloadable here in phpvms.net and this .htaccess. It works 100% for me now.

# main page of the site

DirectoryIndex index.php

# prevent viewing of a specific file

<FilesMatch "\.(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh|tpl)$">

Order Allow,Deny

Deny from all

</FilesMatch>

# prevent viewing of index

Options +FollowSymLinks

Options All -Indexes

#Can give without index.php for the modules

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L]
