I'd like to redirect the following url:
http://www.example.com/food/?p=11&q=22&r=33
to
http://www.example.com/food/api.php/DBNAME/?p=11&q=22&r=33
As you may have noticed,
DBNAME
is the name of a database.
With the API I'm using it is necessary to include it in the URL.
Here's a brief folder structure of my program:
food/
->include/
->models/
->.htaccess
->api.php
->config.php
->test.php
I tried writing the rules on the .htaccess file but I get an
Internal server
error.
My .htaccess file looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I can get my head around achieving the redirection.
I also tried
RewriteRule ^food/(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1 [L]
but this rule just lists the files in the directory food.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
PS: The query string is not just
p=11&q=22&r=33
it may use any letter or word such as type, quantity and so on.
p=11&q=22&r=33
is just an example.
Edit
From the link that @sanj provided I changed my .htaccess ffile to this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/food/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ api.php/DBNAME/$1
</IfModule>
It works partially. Why partially?
I have two servers, one for testing and one for production. It works well on the testing server but not on the production server. I get an
Authorization Required
error. I believe it's due to the configuration in my .htaccess because if I remove the mod_rewrite module and access the url directly it works. Any ideas?
Found my mistake. The folder was protected by Basic Authentication. I needed to include login parameters in my code. I can't believe I overlooked that.
