Apache server - Output to the same page whatever request

Hey people, I need your help, thanks in advance!

I have an appche server 2.x. + PHP, And I woundered rather it is possible
to output the same page (i.e. "a.php") for a request of whatever page.

I will give an examples:

if the client try to reach "/hello/index.php" (which do not really exist in
the server)

Can apache just tell the client -> I return you that page (/hello/index.php)
but infact, this page's content is "a.php"'s content.
wiout 404 Errors and stuff?

Thanks again

Lior.

A RewriteRule that performs an internal rewrite should give you what you
need

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/hello/index.php$ /a.php [L]

By default, the rewrite will perform an internal rewrite, as opposed to
a 301/302 redirect. If the setup is a little more complex than what you
describe above, then it may require some additional rules (such as
redirecting a request for ANY arbitrary file that does not exist). You
can explore the "RewriteCond -f" directive to make it smarter in that case.

Hi paul,

I tried to read this guid and it seems to be a bit complicated... can you
maybe help me out a bit?

Le'ts take the example I wrote above.

If I go to /a/page1.php?c=1
Or I go to /a/page6.php?c=3&d=4

and I want the server to output a.php's content while he also recives the
GET request arguments of page1/2..

How (the hell hehe) do I do that?

Thanks in Advance!

Re: Apache server - Output to the same page whatever request [In reply to]

The QSA option is what you need to pass the GET arguments along to the
rewritten url. For instance, if you want EVERY url to get served by
a.php, including GET arguments, you can do:

RewriteRule ^.*$ /a.php [QSA]

I'm pretty sure that's the write matching pattern to match anything,
but whether it is or not, the QSA option should do what you want.

Hope that helps.

Well thanks alot, but somhing went wrong, and after reading, still can't
understand why.

I have an Apache server server on my PC, based on WinXP,

and when I use these in .htaccess

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^.*$ /a.php [QSA]

it works well.
How ever at my Linux apache server server it doesn't, it always show me 404
error, and the rewrite mod is enabled.

Any ideas?

The querystring is passed to redirected pages by default if the
redirect does not contain a question mark. Ending with a querystring
overwrites the querystring with the new values. Ending the redirect
with a question mark clears the original values -- no new values. The
QSA (QueryString Append) option merges new querystring values with the
original values, unecessary without new querystring values See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html

Status 404 is "Not Found". Does /a.php exist? Can httpd read it?
File permission issues?

Redirecting error pages may not require a RewriteRule or even
mod_rewrite. "ErrorDocument" is a core command. Try:
ErrorDocument 404 /a.php
The documentation does not mention how ErrorDocument handles the
original querystring. See:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errordocument
