Hi, I'm having some trouble setting up my htaccess file. I solved index.php to just root but nothing else seems to work afterwards...

 

I'm trying to get "http://www.domain.com/bassaya-lingerie"'>http://www.domain.com/Bassaya-Lingerie" redirected to "http://www.domain.com/bassaya-lingerie" and I've tried a load of rules but it either completely borks my site or does nothing.

 

And another thing I want to do is change "http://www.domain.com/index.php?route=product/manufacturer" to "http://www.domain.com/brands/" but I'm not sure if this is possible?

 

Here's my htaccess:

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled. 

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options +FollowSymlinks

# Prevent Directoy listing 
Options -Indexes

# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/ 

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers 
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.

# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
# php_flag register_globals off

# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M

# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_execution_time 200

# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_input_time 200

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.domain.com/? [R=301]

RewriteRule ^bassaya-lingerie$ /Bassaya-Lingerie [L]

 

Really appreciate any help, I suspect it's something daft like a typo....

 

Cheers,

Rather than using a specific rule for the URL /Bassaya-Lingerie, why not use something like this:

 

RewriteMap  lc int:tolower
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [A-Z]
RewriteRule (.*) ${lc:$1} [R=301,L]

Why? Because I don't really have any idea what I'm doing hehe.

 

I did try it though RD but it didn't work, infact it borked the site again. "Internal Server Error"

 

It's ok to be specific, there's only about 4 categories I need to do this to, though like I said I can't seem to get anything to work...

 

I'm trying to do it on an Opencart site, if it matters?

 

Cheers RD mate,

~evu.

Ah. Opencart is MVC, which means mod_rewrite isn't handling the URLs - it hands off everything to Opencart's front controller by rewriting everything to index.php.

 

My bad, I should have noticed it in the comments.

Oh, so it's not possible to do rewrites with anything but index.php? Explains why nothing else works then...

 

Cheers dude,

~evu.

You can, but you;d need to update the common seo url controller and update the database url alias table iirc.

Ah, sounds quite complicated then... Maybe I'll just have to deal with it.
