Apache - .htaccess to read one file (html to php)

Hello everyone...

I have searched the entire web and found you guys and I am hoping you can help me. I am a newbie to .htaccess but always willing to learn. We have one page on our site that is a .html file that needs to be read as php.

The file name is mywebsite.com/cmd.html. When I rename the page to cmd.php it works perfectly. The file HAS to stay as a cmd.html file name.

Here is what I have done so far:

- I have saved the .php file as a .html file.
- Created the following .htaccess file

<FilesMatch "^/cmd\.html$">
SetHandler php-script
</FilesMatch>

Then when I visit my webpage mywebsite.com/cmd.html it gives me one line of coding that displays as html and nothing else.

Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem?

Thanks,

Tyler

tried this yet?

or even just rename it to cmd.php and use url rewrite:

It worked with the following...



Now I need to add to the .htaccess file. I need to redirect our subdomain blog.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/blog. I can figure out how to redirect a page on the site using .htaccess but not a subdomain.

Any help?

Hi all,

Well I have KINDA the same problem but with NOT being able to read a directory.

I have a site with this as my .htaccess

#php_value error_reporting 0

#DirectoryIndex main.php

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule video/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?video=$1 [L]

RewriteRule tag/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?tag=$1 [L]

RewriteRule tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L]

RewriteRule tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)?$ index\.php?tag=$1&page=$2&sort=$3 [L]

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html

Now the problem is whenever I go to MYSITE/articles I get 404 each time, unless I change all the pages to .php, in this case over 200.


Is there anyway around this or do I need to change all the pages to php

Hope someone can help, it's driving me nuts lol.

thanks for any help in advance

It's sounds like you're having a problem with the default page setting. You would typically use something like this in your .htaccess file...I see where you have this set to main.php, but you've got the line commented out so it's reverting to whatever your global setting might be.

What page are you trying to load when you type in a directory name? I'm assuming index.php? In this case, uncomment the line you have and change it like this...
