Hi

I am trying to rewrite all urls on a site to hide the variable and replace with
the page title instead.

Please can someone help a novice rewriter???

example:

www.thesite.com/default.asp?p=X&title=pagename
to
www.thesite.com/pagename

thanks

Hello,

Try using:

Code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=X&title=(.*)$
Rewriterule ^default\.asp$ /%1 [NC,R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /default.asp?p=X&title=$1 [NC,L]


Regards
Andrew

Thanks for the reply, just tried and nothing appears to happen!

Maybe it is because where I said page=X,I meant that this can be any
number (pageID) that is passed.

So I need to write a URL that may be:

www.mysite.com/default.asp?p=34&title=tester
to
www.mysite.com/tester

OR

www.mysite.com/default.asp?p=345624&title=page2
to
www.mysite.com/page2

etc..

Any ideas?

thanks so far

Well,

It's no problem to ignore the "p=X" parameter, but what value of 'p' do we need to apply to rewrite back the nice URL?

Andrew

Hi Andrew

The url will pass a value for "p" - this is the pageID and will set the call for the
content and "title" is passed to be the nice part of the url.

so

www.mysite.com/default.asp?p=234&title=aboutus
becomes
www.mysite.com/aboutus

obviously p and title will change for every url

thanks

No, won't work this way.
All we can do:

Code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([^&]+)&title=(.*)$
Rewriterule ^default\.asp$ /%1/%2? [NC,R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /default.asp?p=$1&title=$2 [NC,L]


As a result you'll have:

www.mysite.com/default.asp?p=34&title=tester --> www.mysite.com/34/tester

If that's is not an option, please, see "Comprehensive mapfiles" in FAQ.

Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew

Got that working which is great, however the page is being shown as not
found...

The url is rewritten but the page is not displayed. IS there something I have
missed?

Thanks

This means the second rule didn't work.
Please, provide the rewrite.log for the testing request.

rewrite.log as requested:


(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /default.asp?p=3&title=testing
(1) Htaccess process request C:\Program Files\Helicon\ISAPI_Rewrite3\httpd.conf
(1) Htaccess process request d:\home\default\mad-uk.org\htdocs\.htaccess
(3) applying pattern '^default\.asp$' to uri 'default.asp'
(4) RewriteCond: input='p=3&title=testing' pattern='^p=([^&]+)&title=(.*)$' => matched
(1) escaping /3/testing
(2) explicitly forcing redirect with http://www.mad-uk.org/3/testing
(2) internal redirect with /default.asp?p=3&title=testing [INTERNAL REDIRECT]


the browser is saying too many redirects???

Hm.... seems like the L flag in the first rule didn't work and it keeps redirecting & rewriting.
Try implementing NS flag in the rules.

I'm sorry, unsure what you mean?

I have replaced the L with NS in both rules and get the same result??

You should keep the L flag there too. Do you have any other rules that might take part in process?

This log is of a little use for us.
It's the request for the root of the folder that doesn't match anything.

Honestly, me either. It is not supposed to behave this way.
We did everything and it should have worked from the very beginning. I assume there might be the following issue that is often caused by double-registration:
