Reading many htacceess redirect tips and Mod Rewrite tips I leave with a question. In my case I am using Apache services and have .htaccess running fine. Tutorials give both examples how to implement redirects.

I want to redirect using root level .htaccess file, not by by editing httpd.conf file everytime. In the root .htaccess file I currently list redirects like this (
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/products/foo(/)?*$ /products/newsletter/index.html [R=302,L]
)

This is working. My questions is should I really be using this instead?

redirect 302 /products/foo /products/newsletter/index.html

It is important to work with or without training /.

PS. What does the ,L mean or do?

Hi there

I have a question related to this post.

If I have a domain that says http://www.warren.com/file/eample.pdf

and I have a new system where I dont use the directory “file” just http://www.warren.com/example.pdf

but people still go to http://www.warren.com/file/example.pdf to get that document how do I use the mod rewrite to make it so if they put in http://www.warren.com/file/example.pdf they will be automatically sent to http://www.warren.com/example.pdf.

where would I go to change this and what would the code be.

sorry if not explained well.

thanks

Hey!

My question is about the order of rewrite rules as they’re processed. Most of what I’ve read so far elsewhere has been a bit ambiguous. My question is: if you have four RewriteRule’s in a row, does Apache automatically apply the first relevant rule, or does it require that you add in the [L] flag? I understand that the RewriteRule is read before the RewriteCondition, to be applied when the condition is met, but do these Condition/Rule pairings constitute a block which is executed together? Does the [L] flag work like a “break” in PHP?

Really confusing the heck out of myself, here. Any enlightenment possible would be very helpful.

Hi. I assume Larry is using Apache Webserver. This happens because he turned Directory Indexing on. From the Apache FAQ:

To turn off automatic directory indexing, remove the Indexes keyword from the appropriate Options line. To turn off directory listing for a particular subdirectory, you can use Options -Indexes. For example:

Options -Indexes

Hope this helps

Hi! My name is Chris and I work at Help.com. One of our members posted a question and after reviewing your blog I thought you might be able to provide some advice. See below for their forwarded question:

“everytime I access my site I get an index page and the words Index on it and a link to all of the files that I have in my folder. Why? and what can I do to fix this problem?”
