.htaccess redirect

miseria · 06-30-2008, 12:03 PM

Hey. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with the following; I have a series of PHP files which I would like accessible as .html (e.g. index.html actually points to index.php). However, when trying to view fckeditor.html file, it's looking for fckeditor.php (and presents a "300 multiple choices" Bullcrap). Until switching to 1and1.co.uk hosting, it worked fine. Here is the .htaccess:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /404-page-not-found.html
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml .html
AddType x-mapp-php4 .html

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*).html /$1.php [QSA,L]

The line causing the trouble is:

Code:

RewriteRule (.*).html /$1.php [QSA,L]

UPDATE: I think it may instead be the line:

Code:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

..not working. Surely, if the file doesn't exist, THEN do the rewrite. No?
Many thanks

You can try this

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*).html $1.php [QSA,L]

Thanks but now PHP files do not run with .html.

Just some advice: do not choose 1and1 for web hosting

Greetings.

You can configure your apache to process php in .html files a much easier way than using rewrites and .htaccess

Just edit your config file for the php apache module and add .html to the end of the line. Here is an example.

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 .html

The file is usually called

Code:

php.conf

and is located in your apache directory.

Regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard. Thanks for your help and welcome to Namepros.

I think this will be the likely solution (using the .htaccess though and not the conf file). The problem is; with 1and1, you have to use an alternate method which is a bit of a snag:

Code:

AddType x-mapp-php4 .html

But using this method would mean I'd have to rename all my current .php files to .html

Perhaps I did not understand what you wanted to do. I thought you wanted to execute PHP from .html files ?

If you want your .php to be used as .html, then rename them to .html and 301 the old .php to the .html and you're done. Keep it simple and don't confuse the user or the SE's.
