使用 .htaccess 重定向注册 URL

Question

I would like to redirect registration page to homepage by using .htaccess now my code is redirecting to some strange location on the server and displaying "Page isn't working" message. However I would like it to redirect to homepage. How it is possible and what I need to edit? I guess index.php ?

# RewriteBase /

# Disable calls to user registration ("register", this url ends with: view=registration))
# Send all blocked request to homepage, use Flag [F] for 403 Forbidden error!
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (view=registration) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [R]

You are getting Page isn't working error message because your rule redirects /index.php back to itself . Your catch-all regex pattern ^(.*)$ also matches the destination URI /index.php . You need to fix it so that the Rule's pattern can not match the destination path.

You can either use a RewriteCond or change your regex to ((?!index\\.php).*)$ .

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (view=registration) [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?index\.php).*)$ index.php [R]
