As said before (which apparently noone here is reading), I said I would rather put my time into learning skills prudent to my job. I handle HTML/CSS/JS heavily in my day-to-day work. I do not touch server-side work. Why spend days, weeks, months learning Apache if I have no application for it? That to me, seems silly. Imagine all the front-end related work I could learn in that time.
You are entitled to your opinion though so I can’t fault you on that.
Just wondering. Are you intentionally being extremely rude?
Because you are.
To everyone who has tried to help you with these past few threads. Nobody has to help you and nobody wants to do your work for you. If you don’t want to learn, then don’t ask. The things that you would have learned doing this, would have gone far and beyond just doing URL rewriting. Things like regexes are extremely important throughout software development, not only just your Apache ReWrite rules, as well as many other principles you would be learning if you actually tried to learn something. Not to mention the same ideas are applied in Nginx and other servers, just in slightly different ways.
But instead, you’re talking down to people who you are basically trying to get to do your work for you by not putting in any effort on your part.
You should know that you’re seriously burning bridges here. I can’t speak for anyone else, but you will not be getting a single piece of advice or help from me again.
I’m not talking down to anyone here. I’m not sure why you think that, but again, you are entitled to your opinion.
They ask me questions about my learning, and I respond. It’s simple as that.
If I am burning bridges, then it’s news to me. I am on pretty good terms with most people here; I’m appreciative of their help, which I’ve said numerous times in this thread.

You’re right - learning server side technology may be a waste to you, especially if you don’t really intend to branch into a more full stack role. No argument there. My personal idea is that I’d rather know enough to cause damage in a lot of areas, but that’s my problem, haha.
Anyway, IMO, this boils down to simply “Then stop trying to do things you’re not willing to learn to do, and either give up on doing them, or hire someone to do them for you.”
Think about it from the help-provider point of view - you help plenty of people on SitePoint, I’ve seen you do so often. Would you be OK with doing their work for them after they acknowledged that they’re simply not interested in learning how to help themselves in that area?
That’s my opinion as well - that’s why I dabble in PHP and what not, even abit of Ruby.
Ok, then that also boils down to get someone to do it for hire, or do it for free and chicken scratch it together.
It’s obvious which gets the win there 
.
There are about a dozen people active now on Sitepoint in the HTML/CSS section who I 100% know are not learning anything from their threads; I still help them anyway. I don’t personally care what their motives are. They ask, I answer 
. I do understand peoples logic who don’t want to help people unwilling to learn. No offense taken there.
