mod_rewrite最简单的任务：重定向到.htaccess中的index.php

Question

I just created and uploaded a website using free hosting from byet.com. Everything works fine except that typing the mere domain name in the browser does not redirect the user to my index.php file (an ads page is displayed instead). After googling mod_rewrite and browsing a dozen different pages, I tried adding the following in my .htaccess file :

DirectoryIndex index.php

or

RedirectMatch ^/$ /index.php

or also (from this Stackoverflow answer )

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js)$
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L,R=302]

None of which changed anything, or sometimes caused my index.php page to be inaccessible, with the error message "The script does not redirect properly". Perhaps this behavior is implemented at the level of the httpd.conf file (to which I do not have access), so I will never be able to change that. I asked the support center of byte.com about it, but unfortunately the person who answered me did not seem to really understand English or my question.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Answer 1

If your index.php is under your tld (eg http://domain.com/index.php ) you can try this;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*$ /index.php [L]

Otherwise, if your index.php is in a subfolder (eg http://domain.com/my/folder/index.php ), you will have to add the path to the RewriteRule;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*$ /my/folder/index.php [L]

If this doesn't work, there is a slight possibility that your host has disabled the mod_rewrite module (although the redirection error message you get suggests otherwise). Have you checked apache's error_log file for relevant messages?

Try this rule in root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?!index\.php).*$ /index.php [L,NC,R=302]
