i-MSCP 1.3.10 - Rewrite rule in .htaccess - Pattern is compared to fs path instead of URI

**Viktor** · Dec 22nd 2016

Hello,

I have do this in the .htaccess

Code

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

When I call the URL http://v-gn.com/ is works.

When I call URL http://v-gn.com/index.php I become a Error 404

The URL show then : https://www.v-gn.com//var/www/…v-gn.com/htdocs/index.php

Why came "/var/www/virtual/v-gn.com/htdocs/" in the URL.

Kind regards
Viktor

Good evening

Can you try to add RewriteBase / at top?

Hallo,

I have do this.

Code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]

but it is not working.

Every time "/var/www/virtual/v-gn.com/htdocs/" this is in the URL.

@Viktor

Awaiting for next i-MSCP version, you can use:

Code

RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

The problem

Due to a change made in newest i-MSCP versions (usage of rewrite engine to setup fcgi handler for PHP scripts only when necessary and avoid unwanted output when a inexistent PHP script is requested), the value compared to the pattern in your rewrite rule is the fs path. This is due to the fact that the URI has been mapped early to the fs path. This will be fixed in version 1.3.12. In that version, We'll avoid usage of the rewrite engine in vhost files and in place, we'll use something like:

Code

...
# SECTION mod_proxy_fcgi BEGIN.
<Proxy "{PROXY_FCGI_PATH}{PROXY_FCGI_URL}" retry=0>
ProxySet connectiontimeout=5 timeout=7200
</Proxy>
<If "%{REQUEST_FILENAME} =~ /\.ph(?:p[3457]?|t|tml)$/ && -f %{REQUEST_FILENAME}">
SetEnvIfNoCase ^Authorization$ "(.+)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
SetHandler proxy:{PROXY_FCGI_URL}
</If>
# SECTION mod_proxy_fcgi END....

Hallo,

I have test it again and I think now ist is working.

I use now this .htaccess.

Code

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

With IMSCP 1.3.11 on Ubuntu 16.04 it's works.

On my Live Server with IMSCP 1.3.10 von Debian 8 it's also work.

Kind regards
Viktor
