Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Mod_Rewrite Rules but Were Afraid to Ask?

I recently upgraded a site and almost all URLs have changed. I have redirected all of them (or so I hope) but it may be possible that some of them have slipped by me. Is there a way to somehow catch all invalid URLs and send the user to a certain page I am using PHP Thanks so much! error file is already in .htaccess but seems nothing going to change you can see the error file as below

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
ErrorDocument 404 /content/404.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

here are 2 different url one the first one is old one which i edited and the secound one is edited one

#1 old one (which is no longer on the server)

http://adsbuz.com/vehicles-cars/toyoya/2009-toyota-land-cruiser-gxr-4686.htm

#2 the editet one which is on the server

http://adsbuz.com/vehicles-cars-for-sale/toyoya/2009-toyota-land-cruiser-gxr-4686.htm

i need only the secound one with the vehicles-cars-for-sale because the other directory is already modified and its not on the server but as you can see after the (adsbuz) site name vehicles-cars and vehicles-cars-for-sale both are opening for same location

I hope I made myself clear

  • I tried that and got what appears to be a 404 page with an advanced search form on it.

  • How is this different to your question from 5 days ago? serverfault.com/questions/423124/… - and from 6 days ago? serverfault.com/questions/422643/… - both of which have good answers which you have provided no feedback to.

You don't seem to have an actual RewriteRule in place.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/vehicle-cars/
RewriteRule ^/vehicle-cars/(.*)$ /vehicle-cars-for-sale/$1 [L]

  • Check your Apache log to see what's happening. You may need to increase the debug level for that.

  • You change the LogLevel in the site configuration and run apache2ctl -k restart. The default log level is warn. Change it to notice, info, or even debug to get more information. The lower the log level, the more information is logged, so make sure you don't set the level too low, or you will drown in information.
