Apache PHP mod_rewrite无法正常工作

Question

I'm trying to test out the mod_rewrite meaning: I have two files: level1.php and warpzone.php .

In my .htaccess I have the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^warp-zone.php$ level-1.php

Yet when I go to warpzone.php, nothing happens :/ (the url doesn't change)

Any suggestions? I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Answer 1

First of all you have dashes in php file names at your .htaccess file, while your files does not have them.

Rewrite conditions - this changes the content to new one, but URL stays as it was:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule    ^warpzone\.php$  level1.php  [L]

Redirect conditions - this changes both content and URL to new one:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule    ^warpzone\.php$  /level1.php  [R]

Also you can use Redirect condition instead of mod_rewrite:

Redirect 301 /warpzone.php /level1.php

In case if it does not work for you, you can use headers() method at the top of your warpzone.php file:

<?php 
header("Location: " . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . "/level1.php");
?>

Answer 2

• check whether warpzone.php or warp-zone.php is the correct filename, you are mixing them in your example.
• check the apache error.log file if mod_rewrite is available, if not then enable it (this can be done either with "LoadModule ..." or it is wrapped by your Linux distribution)
• check the apache error.log if you are allowed to use mod_rewrite, if not consider setting "AllowOverride All" in global config files httpd.conf/apache2.conf
• change your rewrite rule to "RewriteRule ^warp-zone.php$ level-1.php [L] " to issue an http redirect; without L flag, is is handled internally in the web sever; see https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html for all flags
