Not that I can see. But then you also haven’t shown the parts that you say aren’t working. Can you show your whole htaccess file and then describe what behavior you expect?

freshy · November 11, 2014, 5:29pm

this is the whole .htaccess

And in that whole htaccess file, what behavior are you expecting that isn’t working?

freshy · November 11, 2014, 7:51pm

at the end of the .htaccess i put this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite\.dk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mywebsite\.dk$
RewriteRule ^utilfreds$ "https\:\/\/www\.mywebsite\.dk\/contact" [R=301,L]

Jeff_Mott · November 12, 2014, 1:29pm

I suspect the problem is because you’ve already rewritten every request to index.php.

RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

After that, you’ll never match “utilfreds” because it would have already been rewritten to index.php?_route_=utilfreds.

In fact, your force www and ssl code probably won’t do what you expect either. http://mywebsite.dk/utilfreds will end up redirecting to https://www.mywebsite.dk/index.php?_route_=utilfreds.

Order matters. You need to think carefully about which rewrite rules need to run before others. Your force www and ssl rules should probably run first. Then rewrites for any specific paths, such as utilfreds. Then, finally, your generic catch-all rewrite to index.php.

freshy · November 12, 2014, 1:57pm

it is working now when i put

at the bottom of the htaccess code, problem is, i like to have all my rewrites in the bottom, but many thanks anyways

dklynn · November 14, 2014, 9:25am

freshy,

Simply put your code before the “generic” redirect-everything-to-index.php:

# Force WWW

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mywebsite\.dk [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mywebsite.dk/$1 [R=301,L]

# Force SSL

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mywebsite.dk/$1 [R=301,L]

# ... then, do NOT forget to check whether the request exists as a file or directory before sending to index.php!

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .? index.php?_route_=%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

Three things:

I agree with you that core code should precede mod_rewrite code.
Don’t forget that the {HTTP_HOST} variable is case sensitive but does not have to be on the Internet, i.e., MyWeBsItE will get to your server but NOT be matched unless you’re using the No Case flag.
When using the EVERYTHING atom to capture the {REQUEST_URI}, I prefer to use:

...
RewriteRule .? http://www.mywebsite.dk%{REQUEST_URI} {{optional flags}]
...

Here, the .? ensures a match and the {REQUEST_URI} variable is already available (and handles the / between the domain and URI).

More comments:

“https://www.mywebsite.dk/contact” probably works for you but it is incorrect. You should NOT have the quotes and the backslashes are NOT necessary (in the redirection).
QSA? This is only necessary IF you expect the {REQUEST_URI} to have a {QUERY_STRING} variable associated with it. If not, it’s superfluous and should be deleted (it might mess up your index.php’s code to have unwanted key/value pairs included in the $_GET array).

Regards,

DK

freshy · November 14, 2014, 6:14pm

i did what you said except
#2. QSA, it is really needed in my situation because i got alot of queries in my site that is associated with request uri.
Thanks alot by the way, if you have any more suggestion to my .htaccess that could make my site faster or optimize, please say so.
Thanks again!

dklynn · November 14, 2014, 9:47pm

freshy,

No worry about the QSA, then, as index.php should handle the _route_ variable before getting on to any other “garbage” in the QUERY_STRING. My only concern was that it’s not needed UNLESS it’s there for a purpose and it would be unusual for there to be one; since you say that there is a valid reason, all the more need to use QSA.

As for any other optimization, I’m not sure of the value of the core code (all the cache expiration information) so I don’t want to comment on that. However, the general rule is to move all unnecessary code OUT of the .htaccess files because they’re generally read and parsed/executed MANY times for each file request (including not just your script but images, CSS, JS, etc.). If you can (VPS/dedicated server), move as much of your code to httpd.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf. A modified KISS principle applies (Keep It Short, Stupid) to .htaccess files to keep your site rolling along.

Regards,

DK
