.htaccess rewrite query string as path url

Question

I searched for this question but only came across very specific answers that I couldn't tailor to my requirements.

My URL now looks like this: https://example.eu/?action=changepassword and I want it to look like this: https://example.eu/changepassword so text ?action= gets deleted.

I tried to adapt this but it didn't work.

Thanks for sharing your efforts, which url are you hitting in browser? — RavinderSingh13

@RavinderSingh13 I don't know if I understand the question correctly... but in the html code I have <a href> tag like this <a href="example.eu/?action=changepassword">. — Mazurky

With your shown samples, please try following htaccess rules file. Please also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.

RewriteEngine ON
##External redirect rules here....
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/?\?action=(\S+)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R=301,L]

##Internal rewrite rules to handle query string in backend.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?action=$1  [L]

This condition changed it to: example.eu/var/www/example.eu/changepassword

@Mazurky, where(on which path) is your htaccess file placed?

htaccess location: /var/www/example.eu/.htaccess BUT It's working now but I changed <a href> tag to: <a href="example.eu/changepassword">. I don't know if this is the right solution but it works. :D
