My mod_rewrite rules aren't rewriting as expected

Couldn't find an answer for this on S.O. (Sorry if duplicate)

[localhost]/MySites/.htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) compiler.php?id=$1

Request for //localhost/MySites/Example.com/ works on my browser.

Request for //localhost/MySites/Example.com (no trailing slash '/') redirects (address bar actually changes) to //localhost/MySites/Example.com/?id=Example.com with a trailing /?id=Example.com.

Why is it doing that? Defeats the purpose of "pretty URLs".

Solution

  • You can use:

    DirectorySlash Off 
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase /MySites/ 

# add a trailing slash for directories 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) compiler.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
