mod_rewrite rule from window, now in linux not working

Hello friends,

Well my website was hosted on a windows machine but now
I moved to Linux. The problem is that my rewrite rule is not working here ..

Please can anybody tell me what changes I need to make here to make it work on Linux ?

here is my rewrite rule

Quote:

RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /index.php?action=$1&cat_id=$2&id=$3
RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /index.php?action=$1&cat_id=$2

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

It should work. Are you sure you have "RewriteEngine on" in httpd.conf?

yes because in the same .htaccess when i put

RewriteRule ^abc-xyz$ http://yahooo.com

then it works

Enable rewrite logging to see what happens

Code:

RewriteLogLevel 9

RewriteLog logs/rewrite_log

Also there are a couple of things to look for:

If you copied .htaccess from the windows box, make sure it does not contain any control characters (like ^M at the end of each line).

You can try to escape the special characters in your RewriteRules and see if it works this way:

Code:

RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /index.php\?action=\$1\&cat_id=\$2\&id=\$3

RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /index.php\?action=\$1\&cat_id=\$2

well when I put the logging tags in .htaccess file
then the site doesn't even show up.

I put it above and below "RewriteEngine On" but didn't work.

The escaping didn't work either.

you know when i try the following

Quote:

RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ http://yahooo.com

Then it works so I guess the problem is in this part

Code:

/index.php?action=$1&cat_id=$2&id=$3

my link is like this http://domain.com/abc-article-03432-2344.htm

So "article" should print at $1 and "03432" at $2 and "2344" at $3.

Any idea ?

I've tested here and it works (of course my index.php does not work with your options):

You should put the Rewritelog directives in httpd.conf to enable mod_rewrite logging

you know when I put my domain in that rule then it works for example

Code:



RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ http://domain.com/index.php?action=$1&cat_id=$2&id=$3

So what is wrong here ?

Why when i put my domain in the rule then it works and when i don't put my domain then it doesn't work... :(

ok got it ..

My files are here http://ip/~user/

so I had to put my rule like following

[code]
RewriteRule abc-(.*)-(.*)-(.*)\.htm$ /~user/index.php?action=$1&cat_id=$2&id=$3
[code]

Thanks Bathory For your help :)
