Apache url rewrite plus sign not working as expected

Question

I'd like to rewrite my site url of below two patterns (note: there are a lot such urls that i hope to use one rule to rewrite them all)

www.hetaoblog.com/hello
www.hetaoblog.com/hello/

to

**www.hetaoblog.com/myblogs/post/hello.jhtml**

all other cases like http://www.hetaoblog.com/ should not be changed;

I've tried

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  #RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]
</IfModule>

and

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  #RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]
</IfModule>

and

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)+/$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]

however, they work for my wanted two cases but they will both rewrite

www.hetaoblog.com/ 

to

www.hetaoblog.com/myblogs/post/.jhtml

It looks the + sign which should mean at least one occurrence is not happening.

Answer 1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]

Your / is redirecting since your RewriteCond lines don't apply to the second rule.

I'm still not sure how you determined how it was rewriting to /myblogs/post/.jhtml - that doesn't make sense at all with the rules you have, though.

Wordpress might still be interfering; turn on a RewriteLog location and set RewriteLogLevel 9 so that we can confirm that Apache's behaving properly.

Answer 2

The simplest one is:

RewriteRule /hello/? /hello.jhtml [L]

This will match exactly the two URIs you specified and no others.

Answer 3

Have you tried simply:

RewriteRule ^/([A-Za-z0-9]+|[A-Za-z0-9]+/)$ /myblogs/post/$1.jhtml [L]

You also might need to specify rewritecond query string.
