Dear All,
We want to hide Query Strings from given URL for End User. I tried with below RewriteRule. URL is getting Change but getting 404 Error.
Current URL:
http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel?year=2016&month=5
http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel/?year=2016&month=5
Expecting URL:
http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel/2016/5
Rewrite which I tried:
| Code: |
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^year=(.*)&month=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel/%1/%2/?
|

Should we have the folder "http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel/2016/5" exist in system or its required for URL rerouting?
|
Kindly please help me to make it work.
Thanks
Jayaram |

No, I think the problem is you are going about this in reverse.
Usually you rewrite the URL the client is asking for (search engine friendly url) and change it to match what the script wants (i.e. the query string). So, anything that links to the script needs to be done as http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel/2016/5 and you rewrite that to become http://cmspweb1.com/sites/pressrel?year=2016&month=5 which is what the script speaks so to say. |
