.htaccess question
 

Anyone know how I can make it so if a person visits(for example) http://mydomain.com/hey-i-just-made-this-up.htm but that page doesn't exist, the host responds like it does exist but runs another script to return the content?

perhaps getting into more details, are you wanting your server to send a 302 (Found) message back to the browser instead of a 404 (Not Found) message, then also provide content as well?

Or are you wanting to do a simple redirect on all 404 error messages?

I want it to make it seem to the browser like the file is actually there.

Bump ;)

I need the same info
and if its working with diff extention , like pdf etc etc

IE:

I have a folder called /temp/
I have ONLY 1 file, blabla.pdf in this folder

I want to link from many html pages , many differents names to join this pdf like /temp/toto.pdf /temp/tata.pdf

So the server provide the content of blabla.pdf to all other file reuqests.

Thanks!

if you are pointing them all to the same file, why not use a redirect

For some reason ..

I need the server to provide the content from the original file without doing some mod on the url in the nav bar

Ok well if I understand you right (which I don't thing I don't) add this to your 404.shtml:

Then a make a php script (example script.php) and do this in it:

Make sure 404 is at least 550 bytes if I remember right.

*cough* mod_rewrite *cough*

hahaha

Anyone needing this done to your server, I can do it for a reasonable price...say $50.00 and have it installed and running perfectly on your server (provided you have php/apache/mysql and mod_rewrite turned on) .... :)

hit me up on icq or email me!

All in *on* already ;)

Just need the line to add to the Htaccess ;)

Bumb

I don't want to redirect the traffic, I don't think wiz does either. I need it to have my script output it as if the page existed. My script will dynamically create the page based on what the requested filename was.

apache docs? :glugglug

Found it.

# - Send all htm requests to script - #
options all
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule htm /your/script.php
# - End - #

Real men don't need docs :winkwink:
