Mod Rewrite

Server Config

I get an error based off this Rewrite rule. Can someone help me with this?

My ReWrite Rule


RewriteRule   products/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$   temp_products.php?vendor=$1&title=$2&sku=$3 [L]

My Referer LOG


[2010/10/23 - 21:51:56 -0400]ÿ- -> /products/vendor/item-name/sku/
[2010/10/23 - 21:51:56 -0400]ÿhttp://domain.com/products/vendor/item-name/sku/ -> /products/vendor/item-name/sku/

It should not goto /temp_not_found_404.php

My Error LOG

dklynn,
So I should put the 301 at the end of all my RewriteRules?
Like this


[R=301,L]

Thanks dklynn for taking the time to respond and pointing this out :slight_smile:

mg,

ONLY if you want to tell visitors (and search engines) about the redirection. Most often, that is NOT your intention. As in this case, however, it’s an excellent tool to use to check to be sure that the redirection is working - then remove the R=301 for the “production” code.

Regards,

DK

mg,


RewriteRule   products/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$   temp_products.php?vendor=$1&title=$2&sku=$3 [L]

That should take your URI, products/vendor/item-name/sku/ and change the URI to temp_products.php?vendor=vendor&title=item-name&sku=sku. Add R=301 to the Last flag and let us know whether the redirection is taking place or not.

Regards,

DK

Found the problem :slight_smile:

The jQuery Plugin
cloud-zoom.1.0.2.min.js is adding a DIV


<div style="background-image:url(".");z-index: 999; position: absolute; width: 330px; height: 82px; left: 0px; top: 0px; cursor: move;" class="mousetrap"></div>

I removed


background-image:url(".");

in the cloud-zoom.1.0.2.min.js

Now it is like this when the page loads and my


<div style="z-index: 999; position: absolute; width: 330px; height: 82px; left: 0px; top: 0px; cursor: move;" class="mousetrap"></div>

Now my log file does not pass through the 404 file.
That took two hours to figure out.
Enjoy.
