help with RewriteCond and rewriterule

Postby avk » 07. July 2019 04:51

Hi, I have been going crazy trying to figure this out.

lets say I have an incoming request site.com/en/resources/help.jpg

I would like to test if the file exists by ignoring the the /en part. /en folder is not present in documentroot.

Below works only if there is an en folder. Is there way to remove /en part and then test if a file exists?

Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://localhost:3000/$1 [P,L]


I did try to experiment with expressions and If module but cant get it working.

What is the idea of your very odd RewriteCond? Show some working examples that fits to these Conditions.

Iam trying to route traffic to nodejs but use apache to serve static content. the reason /en in url is important is because nodejs understands it for localization and serve language specific content. it could change to /es,/fr.

example: site.com/en/resources/help.jpg -- search for a valid file in DocumentRoot by ignoring the /en part. got this to work. if found return file and complete request.
site.com/en/resources/assistant -- this is not a valid file reference then send this to proxy with the /en part.

Sorry, but i cannot follow your example. The "DocumentRoot" is the PHYSICAL Name of the folder, which stores the top level files of a Domain. For example, the DocumentRoot of Xampps localhost (Domain) is c:/xampp/htdocs. A valid URL looks like http://localhost/en/index.html

Where is the "DocumentRoot" (c:/xampp/htdocs) in the URL, which is evaluated by your expression?? Why do you look for "c./xampp/htdocs" in a valid URL?? Is there "c:/xampp/htdocs" in "http://localhost/en/index.php"??
