Htaccess Questions-- Help please

[Richieboy67]

One thing I have not spent enough time learning about is the htaccess file....... It is finally biting me in the rump so now I have no choice but to learn about it...

One of my sites, a store actually is using the htaccess to change .html to php basically
-- The site is www.anonlinemall.com

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3&Sort=$4&ItemPage=$5 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*)-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3&Sort=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2&Sort=$3&ItemPage=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*)-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2&Sort=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*).html?$ index.php?SearchIndex=$1 [QSA,L]

Everything works fine but now I am trying to add some extra pages that are html... One of the urls I cannot access is www.anonlinemall.com/smoking/

I turn off htaccess and it opens fine......

Can anyone help me out with this. I have tried everything. I know htaccess can be used to redirect and deny ip's etc but I have no idea how to bypass it.......

Thanks...... Who ever answers this question for me I will give 10np's too........ I should say the first person that gives me the info that corrects this problem will get 10np's...

Change:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$1 [QSA,L]

To:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html?$ index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$1 [QSA,L]

edit: Actually I'm not sure about that, but it won't hurt to have it.
I don't see anything else that could be the problem.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index.html$ index.php

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3&Sort=$4&ItemPage=$5 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*)-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3&Sort=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)-search-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&$2=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*)-(.*)-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2&Sort=$3&ItemPage=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*)-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2&Sort=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/browse-(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemSearch&SearchIndex=$1&BrowseNode=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ index.php?SearchIndex=$1 [L]

this should work

p.s (.*) means $1(variable 1) , for eg in (.*)/(.*).html if you want the second variable (.*)/(.*) you must put

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$2 [L]

hope i explained right :red:

I will try both and get back to you guys later...

I have tried many changes already and so far nothing has worked so hopefully one of these or both will work...

Thanks,

Rich

 

[Richieboy67]

Sorry guys, neither of these changes worked for me....... I am not sure if made the changes correctly though.. I am still a bit confused about this but I am learning... I think we are close...

For this

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html$ index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$2 [L]

Am I supposed to remove line 10 and replace it with this or just add it???

Thanks so much guys...

 

[ahtum]

replace it

 

[Richieboy67]

I'm sorry but these changes did not work.... Thanks for trying..

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*).html index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=$1 [QSA,L]

Is the problem. It makes smoking/index.html go to index.php?Operation=ItemLookup&ItemId=smoking

You could make the index of /smoking/ be .php so it won't be affected by the rewrite rules.

I can't figure out any other way to edit the .htaccess right now to fix that.

 

[Jim_]

RewriteRule ^smoking/(.*).(.*)$ smoking/$1.$2 [L]

Add something like that to the end, maybe? Just an idea.

 

[Richieboy67]

Thanks, I treid that... I have tried tons of things and nothing has worked.

I cannot change the file names because there are just too many...

THanks for trying everyone...
