Having a reference for basic mod_rewrite examples on hand is always a good idea. About once every two weeks, I have to set up a server’s URL rewrites, and because I don’t use it that often, I’m susceptible to forgetting its exact syntax.
The article outlines:
- The basic mod_rewrite layout
- Basic redirects
- Handling no ‘www’
- Blocking specific IP addresses
- Stripping query strings
- Hotlinking prevention
- … and more
