HOW-TO: use mod_rewrite to get rid of "?" in the url

fadia · December 26, 2015, 8:32am

I already read in the forum about the problems related to mod_rewrite when we register in OAI, so I used this htaccess code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
  RewriteEngine on 
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d  
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f   
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?journal=$1 [QSA,L]  
</IfModule>

and also modified in “config.inc.php” and “config.TEMPLATE.inc.php” to

base_url[index] = http://www.ust.edu/ojs
base_url[myJournal] = http://www.ust.edu/ojs
restful_urls = on

But the result of that it deletes just “index.php” from URL and single question character “?” is still in the URL like " http://www.ust.edu/ojs/?journal=yjmp "which cause the problem.I want the URL to be like " http://www.ust.edu/ojs/ yjmp "

Please help me
Thanks

Hi @fadia,

Try adapting the following code to your installation. Make sure to include the slashes around index.php in the rewrite rules. If you haven’t changed the document root in your apache config file, this should give you the output you’re looking for.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^journal(.*)$ /index.php/journal$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Hope this helps!

Chris

I modified the file that you gave me but sorry the problem was still and no Chang in the URL "

http://www.ust.edu/ojs/?journal=yjmp "

ctgraham · January 4, 2016, 8:40pm

@fadia, what is your config.inc.php setting for disable_path_info?

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-dev-2_4/config.TEMPLATE.inc.php#L69


date_format_trunc = "%m-%d"
date_format_short = "%Y-%m-%d"
date_format_long = "%B %e, %Y"
datetime_format_short = "%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p"
datetime_format_long = "%B %e, %Y - %I:%M %p"
time_format = "%I:%M %p"

; Use URL parameters instead of CGI PATH_INFO. This is useful for
; broken server setups that don't support the PATH_INFO environment
; variable. Use of this mode is recommended as a last resort.
disable_path_info = Off

; Use fopen(...) for URL-based reads. Modern versions of dspace
; will not accept requests using fopen, as it does not provide a
; User Agent, so this option is disabled by default. If this feature
; is disabled by PHP's configuration, this setting will be ignored.
allow_url_fopen = Off

; Base URL override settings: Entries like the following examples can
; be used to override the base URLs used by OJS. If you want to use a
; proxy to rewrite URLs to OJS, configure your proxy's URL here.

It sounds like you want a pathinfo style URL, but you have disabled pathinfo. With pathinfo left enabled, @chrisgreencorn’s suggestion should work.

Hi @fadia,

I’m afraid that’s a web server configuration issue, not a problem with OJS. If you’re getting “no input file specified” you need to adjust your web server configuration. I’d suggest using Google to search for “no input file specified path_info” and you’ll find information like this:

hi …
i have got error 404 when i do “disable_path_info =off” and I edit this file to give me more information about 404 error but i haven’t got any information
classes/core/Dispatcher.inc.php b/classes/core/Dispatcher.inc.php
.
.
header(‘HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found’);
fatalError(‘404 Not Found’);
fatalError('404 Not Found – RequestPath: '.PKPRequest::getRequestPath());

.
.
can you help me please

asmecher · January 20, 2016, 3:39pm

Hi @fadia,

The 404 error message is coming from your web server (e.g. Apache), not OJS or PHP. To get PATH_INFO URLs working, you’ll need to fix your web server’s configuration. There’s nothing OJS can do.

@fadia, it looks like this new error is unrelated to this current question of your server’s PATH_INFO setup. It would be best to post it as a new topic. Posting a new topic will autosuggest existing topics, such as the following, which appears to be related:

thank you i do

select * from journal_settings where setting_name like ‘metaCitations’
Delete both metaCitations entries from your DB
and this solve the error " Cannot use a scalar value as an array " thanks .

hi
when i change the hosting from godaddy to webhostinghub.com and edit config.in.php to
disable_path_info =off
base_url[index] = http://online.ust.edu/ojs/index.php
base_url[ojs] = http://online.ust.edu/ojs/
restful_urls = on

and my htaccess like
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?journal=$1 [L,QSA]

the result “404 NOT found” and the url like http://online.ust.edu/ojs/JSS
.
but when i edit url and add “index.php” in url it is work and the url appear http://online.ust.edu/ojs/index.php/JSS
.
so please help me to config the htaccess to appear the index.php in url

ctgraham · January 27, 2016, 2:40pm

Your RewriteRule is saying, “take anything on the URL and pass it as a parameter to ‘journal’ for the url /index.php”. A root-level index.php probably does not exist, and certainly doesn’t point to OJS.

You probably want your RewriteRule to take anything after “/ojs/” and pass it as part of the URL to “/ojs/index.php”.

If your .htaccess in in the root, your RewriteRule would look something more like:

RewriteRule ^/ojs/(.*)$ /ojs/index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

fadia · January 28, 2016, 6:49am

isn’t work … RewriteRule ^/ojs/(.*)$ /ojs/index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
and my ojs in the root … when i add “index.php” manualy in url to appear like http://online.ust.edu/ojs/index.php/JSS
frist : my journal is open .

so i want to add index.php in url and the error be solve

ctgraham · January 28, 2016, 1:28pm

Note in your error (right at the top) the message is: “Message: WARNING: mkdir(): Permission denied”.

This indicates a filesystem permission problem. In particular, your webserver is not able to write to your “files” directory to create new directories. Review the file permissions section in the wiki FAQ.

If you have additional trouble with the file permissions, branch that topic into a new post.

Feel free to continue discussing the mod_rewrite rules here, if you have more details on that.
