Any .htaccess and rewrite experts in the house? Need some help.
 

After moving one of my sites to a new server I cant get images to display. If I remove top part from htaccess file, they show up, but re-write doesn't work. If I add it back, rewrite works but all images are broken. Any idea whats causing it and why my new server doesn't like it?

Here's htaccess contents:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-F
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-D
RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L]



Thanks

Does the new server run 'ngnix' ?

Hmm, that I do not know. How do I find out?

telnet to port 80 and type in:

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

centOS 5.5

That's your OS not your web server, what web server are you running ?

Your new host is run by pastersinalot...

here's what Im getting from headers


HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:10:22 GMT
Server: Apache/2
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.17

that would be apache.


are you getting any kind of server error?

No. Just broken images all over. As soon as I remove this part, images work but rewrite is gone and all links aren't working

CAn you try changing this line:

RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L]

to this:

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

and see if it works?

That gives me 500 error :(

Fucking LOVE nginx! A bad implementation wouldn't kill images based on .htaccess rules. It could bypass them if you are not correctly passing the request to apache.

You might need a rewrite base defined. Try this.

I believe you need this line:

RewriteBase /

Like so:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-F
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-D


edit: - Jesus Christ - beat me to it.

You know what it was? Upper case !-d and !-f :mad:

WTF? works once I changed it to lower case.

Thanks for your help, bro.. Turns out it has to be lower case !-d and !-d. Go figure. So weird because in original script package it was in upper case and worked fine on old server.

huh, I didn't even notice the upper case :1orglaugh

Glad you got it working and I could be of (some) assistance :thumbsup
