In my strenuous efforts to get SEO-friendly urls, I'm using a rewrite map in my apache setup:
My rewrite map is a PHP script which checks my database for an id value supplied in the query string and if anything is found, it returns an SEO-friendly text string which i inject into the URL in order to turn a url like this:
into one like this:
I'm wondering a few things:
1) If an id is not found in my database, can I send a 404 signal from my map program? If so, how?
2) What's the story with RewriteLock. The documentation is rather tightlipped about the need for it. Am I to understand that if I use a PHP script (or any other program) as a rewrite map that I need a RewriteLock file? What are the required permissions on this file? Can I assume that apache needs to read/write it and will maintain anything it might contain?
3) I'm getting quite concerned about a lengthy list of RewriteCond and RewriteRule items in this particular apache conf file. Is there any way to have apache skip the remainder of rules in this conf file if one fails?
4) is PHP a poor choice for this application? If my map daemon crashes, won't part of my site will go dark?
I hope someone can help. I somewhat know what a mod_rewrite does which is URL rewiring. What I don't know is how to make the mod_rewrite to handle paths ?
Can this be why an AngularJS file is not being loaded ? (36 Replies)
