need help with redirect on Zeus server

CSU

this has kinda got me bogged down (as does the standard .htaccess method)

I have a Joomla site thats been up for about six months only to realise that robots.txt was allowing indexing of /administrator, now Google has indexed

/administrator/index2.php
administrator/index.php?aklazy=check

My current rewrite script looks like this:

RULE_0_START:
    # get the document root
    map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /
    # initialize our variables
    set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}

    # see if theres any queries in our URL
    match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$
    if matched then
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
    set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
    endif
    RULE_0_END:

    RULE_1_START:
    # prepare to search for file, rewrite if its not found
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}

    # check to see if the file requested is an actual file or
    # a directory with possibly an index.  don’t rewrite if so
    look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
    if not exists then
    look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
    if not exists then
    set URL = /index.php?q=%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
    goto QSA_RULE_START
    endif
    endif

    # if we made it here then its a file or dir and no rewrite
    goto END
    RULE_1_END:


    QSA_RULE_START:
    # append the query string if there was one originally
    # the same as [QSA,L] for apache
    match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$
    if matched then
    set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
    endif
    goto END
    QSA_RULE_END:

How do I set up a 301 redirect in the rewrite.script please?

ok got it sorted.

To whom it may concern the Zeus docs tell you to rename .htaccess to .htaccess_old which lead me to believe the the server no longer used it, but it does apparently.

Now, the Joomla forums gave me the code in the OP and my hosting company gave me more, below is a mixture of both features, TBH I have no idea how secure/unsecure this is.

Simply use the default .htaccess file ( leave the rewrite engine=on commented out, and the mod_rewrite in use too )

create a .txt file and name it rewrite.script, paste the code:

RULE_0_START:
    # get the document root
    map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /
    # initialize our variables
    set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}

    # see if theres any queries in our URL
    match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$
    if matched then
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
    set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
    endif
    RULE_0_END:

    RULE_1_START:
    # prepare to search for file, rewrite if its not found
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
    set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}

    # check to see if the file requested is an actual file or
    # a directory with possibly an index.  don’t rewrite if so
    look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
    if not exists then
    look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
    if not exists then
    set URL = /index.php?q=%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
    goto QSA_RULE_START
    endif
    endif

    # if we made it here then its a file or dir and no rewrite
    goto END
    RULE_1_END:

    QSA_RULE_START:
    # append the query string if there was one originally
    # the same as [QSA,L] for apache
    match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$
    if matched then
    set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
    endif
    goto END
    QSA_RULE_END:
    
# ***** SECURITY TO PREVENT CASPER ATTACKS ***** 
match IN:Host into % with ^(.*)  
match URL into $ with ^/(.*)\?(.*?(proc|self|environ|mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D)|base64_encode.*\(.*\)|(\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E)|GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})|_REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})))  
if matched then  
set OUT:Location=http://%1/$1  
set OUT:Content-Type = text/html  
set RESPONSE=301  
set BODY=Moved Permanently  
goto END 
endif 
# ***** PREVENT REWRITE.SCRIPT, .HTACCESS, .HTPASSWD AND .HTGROUP FILES BEING READ IN A BROWSER ***** 
match URL into $ with ^/(rewrite\.script|\.htaccess|\.htpasswd|\.htgroup) 
if matched then 
set URL = / 
goto END 
endif 
# ***** CHECK IF THE URL BEING CALLED EXISTS AS A FILE OR DIRECTORY ***** 
map path into SCRATCH:path from %{URL} 
look for file at %{SCRATCH:path} 
if exists then goto END 
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:path} 
if exists then goto END 
# ***** REDIRECT ALL OTHER REQUESTS ***** 
match URL into $ with ^/index\.php 
if not matched then 
match URL into $ with (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ 
if matched then 
set URL=/index.php 
goto END 
endif
endif

I generally try to move my clients off said hosting system to somewhere that supports .htaccess straight up, Zeus is such a pain.

I hadn't dealt with Zeus servers before I came on-board with my current client and being a total n00b this drove me around the bend for a full day...I just could.not.understand wtf was happening:P

It is confusing as the CMS wants htaccess and the server wants a rewrite script, I'll know better in the future.

Hey i have a site up in joomla on zeus, I am upgrading joomla and such so used jupgrade which created site/jupgrade directoy and thats all grand,

My problem is as you know zeus doesnt use .htaccess it uses rewirte script.

I cant get rewrite to work on the site/subdirectoy which i want to polish a bit before i move to the root.

i got rewites working for SEF on the joomla site about 2 years ago and im doing a long over due upgrade, i just cant get the subdirecty rewrite to work and ive no idea why it wont work. any ideas?

Here is my rewrite code for the root, any idea what has to be changed for a subdirectoy or is new code needed ?


RULE_0_START:
# get the document root
map path into SCRATCH:DOCROOT from /jupgrade
# initialize our variables
set SCRATCH:ORIG_URL = %{URL}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = %{URL}

# see if theres any queries in our URL
match URL into $ with ^(.*)\?(.*)$
if matched then
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI = $1
set SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING = $2
endif
RULE_0_END:

RULE_1_START:
# prepare to search for file, rewrite if its not found
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME = %{SCRATCH:DOCROOT}
set SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME . %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}

# check to see if the file requested is an actual file or
# a directory with possibly an index. don't rewrite if so
look for file at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
look for dir at %{SCRATCH:REQUEST_FILENAME}
if not exists then
# check it's not webmail or controlpanel or tech_support
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with ^/webmail|^/tech_support|^/controlpanel
if matched then
goto END
else
set URL = /index.php?q=%{SCRATCH:REQUEST_URI}
goto QSA_RULE_START
endif
endif
endif

# if we made it here then its a file or dir and no rewrite
goto END
RULE_1_END:

QSA_RULE_START:
# append the query string if there was one originally
# the same as [QSA,L] for apache
match SCRATCH:ORIG_URL into % with \?(.*)$
if matched then
set URL = %{URL}&%{SCRATCH:QUERY_STRING}
endif
goto END
