I'm using the following rewrite code in my htaccess, but there's a problem.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/?$ /$1.php [NC,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^admin/([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /admin/$1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^user-profile/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ /user-profile.php?view=$1 [NC,L]
machine A: www.website.com/admin/admin.page [doesn't works, 404] [admin.page.php works]
machine B: localhost/alias/admin/admin.page [works]
machine A: www.website.com/user-profile/username [works]
machine B: localhost/alias/user-profile/username [doesn't works, 302] [user-profile.php?view=username works]
whats going wrong ?
(i'm using alias on one machine, and not on the other)
machine A: apache 2.2.22, php 5.4.3 winxp pro
machine B: apache 2.2.22, php 5.4.3 win7 ultimate
EDIT:
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Feb/2013:11:08:32 +0100] "GET /alias/user-profile/username HTTP/1.1" 302 1373
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Feb/2013:11:08:33 +0100] "GET /alias/account HTTP/1.1" 302 20
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Feb/2013:11:08:33 +0100] "GET /alias/announcements HTTP/1.1" 200 4157
RewriteRule ^admin/admin.([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /admin/admin.$1.php [NC,L]
fixes the admin part, now i need to fix the profile part..
The rewriterules shouldn't trigger for the /alias urls as your Rewriterule defines the expression as starting with admin (^admin) also, the different hosts (www.website.com and localhost) may not arrive at the same virtual host. The issue here is more likely to be due to the differences in the urls rather than your rewrite rules.
