I'm modifying the Apache .htaccess file for rewrite products' URL, so I can go from this
domain.com/section/products/product.php?url=some-product-name
to this
domain.com/section/products/some-product-name
Here's the mod_rewrite code that I'm using:
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^section/products/(.*)$ /section/products/product.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
It just returns a 500 server error.
What could be the issue?
It is because your rewrite rules are infinitely looping. Which is due to the fact section/products/(.*) pattern matches original and rewritten URI.
You can use this to fix it:
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes -MultiViews
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(section/products)/([\w-]+)$ $1/product.php?url=$2 [QSA,L,NC]
mod_rewrite thing, and I can't make another question in 90 mins, can I ask for your help here in the comments?/section/products/. I also have the product echoer file (products.php), and I want to be able of differentiate between products and products/, so if the URL hasn't the slash should go to products.php. If the URL has the slash (without anything else passed as get) must redirect to /section/products (the .php file). I hope I explained that correctly./section/ I have /section/products.php and /section/products/.products.php is loaded from /section/, product.php is loaded from /section/products/ and /section/products/ doesn't have a index.php file inside./section/products? Example, changing the name of the real folder to something like the_products and then re-direct it to /section/products.
