11,760 PointsRewriteRules again (XAMPP)
After I had some big problems with the RewriteRules working on a subfolder in local and production server (solved by creating subdomains both local and production), now I have weird ones with just one rewrite type.
This is only happening in the localhost, on the production server (shared hosting) works fine.
I'm working with XAMPP on Windows.
My htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ shirts/shirts.php
RewriteRule ^shirts/([0-9]+)/$ shirts/shirt.php?id=$1
RewriteRule ^receipt.php$ /receipt/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^contact.php$ /contact/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^shirts.php$ /shirts/ [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(shirts/[0-9]+)$ /$1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^shirt.php$ /shirts/%1/? [R=301]
I have the subdomain tenda.localhost created on my httpd-vhosts.conf created and working.
When I type or follow a link to any of the /shirts/XXX/ URL it goes to http://tenda.localhost/%20shirts/.
No idea where the whitespace is (%20). All other RewriteRules workes perfect, just the ones that use shirt.php.
I activated the rewrite logs (no idea where to look but did it). I didn't nothing weird until a block of the logs where it says something like this and looks is when the whitespace is included in the URL:

This is getting me crazy... Can anyone help me?
Thx

13,676 PointsI had a similar issue, always landing on the shits page...
For me it was some tiny typo in one of the include lines, and in the one of the links in the shirts page. Make sure all your includes and links use and echo the right paths.
Unfortunately I don't remember which link it was exactly, but i would recommend to check them all or use the file from the instructor to compare it with yours.

11,760 PointsIndeed it was. I found the problem in the function where the single shirt is loaded. All working fine now either in localhost and shared hosting.
