This is a follow-on to this question https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29120630/How-To-Enable-Rewrite-On-Linux-2.html - I followed the advice but forgot that wordpress will overwrite what is within the wordpress block so I am now moving it out of the block.

The first re-write rule produces this error:

The other 2 rules work fine so why is this rule not working and producing this error?

Need to redirect http to https

Hi, we have a site, seniormealsolutions.com, which for reasons I won't go into doesn't yet have an SSL certificate.

if you go to the http version, you get the proper site.

If you go to the https:// version, you see our main site, magickitchen.com, but with the seniormealsolutions.com still in the address window. I am worried that this will show to Google as duplicate content, would it?

I've tried various ways to redirect https to http, in .htaccess, with no success so far. here's what I've tried:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^inner/directory/?$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/inner/directory/ [R=301,L]

Open in new window

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =https
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Open in new window

<VirtualHost *:443>

  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
  RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

I have an application that uses Apache running on a windows server that I need to create a certificate for. We have a 2008R2 server that is a CA that is trusted by all the machines in the domain. I understand the basic process of doing this, but all my research shows how to's that don't apply to my specific situation. (apache running on linux, submitting CSR to public CA etc.)
I'd like as step by step as possible as this is a production machine I'm meddling with. It can go down for an hour or a few without much impact, but I'd look bad.

WAMP won't start on Windows 10

Just installed WAMP on Windows 10. (There was no WAMP on my PC previously)

When I click the launch icon on my desktop, the command window opens for a few seconds and closes. The WAMP icon does not appear in the tray at the bottom right. (Although it did once, the first time, and it was Red).

I read somewhere (Google) that it could be a conflict with SkyPe also using Port 80. But my SkyPe is the latest version and Googling tells me that now you can't change (or see) the Port number on SkyPe!

What can I check please?

need to create script to back up directories

Linux. I need to set up a script that I can run via cron in the middle of every night to copy / back up specific folders into another directory. I want all folders, files and permissions and attributes copied. The goal is to have a 24 hour old copy that I can restore in case a user screws up their files. Example:

/usr/home/thisuser/web_master would be copied / backed up to /usr/home/mainuser
/usr/home/thisotheruser/web_master would be copied / backed up to /usr/home/mainuser
/usr/home/andanotheruser/web_master would be copied / backed up to /usr/home/mainuser

Each night, the copy / back up would overwrite the one from 24 hours ago.

How do I set this script up, and what type of file extension should the script be?

could not find redirect location

Hi, our site techgardens.com has been super slow, I had a whole other long question about that and it was decided that it was largely the hosting.

But we're still on the same host, and the boss has started to use pingdom to monitor the site. We keep getting site down reports, and mostly they are for the reason could not find redirect location.

Could anyone help me figure out where that error is coming from? Pingdom is not very informational.

Trouble with adding SSL to Apache2

I'm having a heck of a time getting SSL to work on an Ubuntu 18.04 server using Apache2. I've installed Mediawiki to /var/www/html/wiki. I have a mediawiki.conf file that has virtual host entries for both 80 and 443. I have SSLEngine on and for the certificate file and the key file I have them pointed to the correct directory.

I'm having two issues:

1. If i type https://domain.com/wiki, it gives me a 404 not found, yet it fills in the /index.php/Main_Page at the end of the URL but the port says 80
2. If i type https://domain.com/wiki/index.php/Main_page it works and it uses 443. The issue with that is, I'm getting an error with chrome that says I'm getting mixed content. When i go to developer tools in chrome it's telling me that the .png file im using for the logo is not secure.

I haven't messed with ubuntu and apache2 for a while so i'm probably missing something, im just not sure what.

Thank you.

Masking or rewriting urls on HTML Head section

Hi, I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out a way to change the template's theme name as shown below, on the urls in the head section of my site without actually renaming the folders/directories on the template itself.

If I were to rename the folders on the actual template structure, everything would break, and even if it didn't, the automatic theme updates would not work, and for that reason, I need to figure out a way to mask, or rewrite the urls without breaking the theme template.

I have been searching online for a way to do this on my server, but no luck so far. Please help.

In httpd.conf, I added:
LoadModule php7_module "c:/php/php7apache2_4.dll"

<IfModule php7_module>
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php

change url folder structure

url folder change

I have changed the folder structure slightly with moving some folders to a new folder.

eg conveyancing is now Syston/conveyancing

I have added 301 redirect which works well.

In my server files I now have the original pages ie conveyancing and ALSO Syston/conveyancing so these are duplicate, albeit with a 301 redirect.

Do I delete the duplicate pages?

Do I do a canonical tag?

If I have to retain the old pages, do I put a don't index/follow tag?

Hello Experts!

I need help on how to use .htaccess to hide/remove .php from all my files and those inside folders.

I've tried to add .htaccess to the root of my folder, I could only access index.php redirected to login.php (showing login) but I couldn't move pass that page.

I was getting Page Not Found giving me wrong url.

Here is the code I've used inside .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ https://mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]

Open in new window

and:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

Open in new window

Separately, both yielded same result.

Am I supposed to indicate all folders name in the .htaccess? and how?

Someone even suggested I should put .htaccess inside all folders which I tried but I couldn't login (invalid login details). After removing them (.htaccess), I was able to login again.

Please help

forcing site to https and working both for www or non www

I have updated a website that has been around for a while. I checked to see what the url looks like if I search for it on Google and it is www as opposed to not having www. I wanted to keep that but also force a redirect to https as the site was http. I have added a SSL certificate so it should be https.

I have done this in the root .htaccess file, bearing in mind this is a php MVC structured project (just mentioning in case that matters at all).

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine on
 RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off 
 RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
 RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
 RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Open in new window

So, this works fine if I click on the link from the google search results and if I type www.mysite.com directly into the browser url.

But, if I just type in mysite.com then it loads the site but doesn't force the www and some things on the site do not work anymore.

Console gives me a bunch of these errors:

has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource

So, firstly, what is the best way to fix this and secondly, am I not meant to choose a preferred version and somehow state that via a canonical tag or something along those lines. I am concerned google will think there is duplicate content if both www and non www sites work or is that not an issue?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Multiple Docker Containers - Port 80?

I'm just starting to learn Docker, and I think I have some of the basic concepts of creating containers down. My intention is to have multiple containers on my server, each serving one unique website.

Now, here's my question. I don't know how to handle the ports if there are multiple containers all set to respond to port 80. Won't it cause some sort of problem if there are multiple containers, each running their own instance of apache, each reacting to port 80? Is there some sort of internal IP addressing then that needs to take place to handle that?

I've got a pretty decent idea how the routing/responding through Apache works on a single server - but isn't this conceptually multiple servers all tied together with the same IP?
