Parsing get parameters in apache mod rewrite

apache-2.2mod-rewrite

I am using the PHP Fat-Free framework (http://fatfree.sourceforge.net/) to develop a website and I need to use GET Variables but they won't parse because I am using Mod Rewrite.

This is the current state of my .htaccess file:

# Enable rewrite engine and route requests to framework
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* index.php [L,QSA]

At the moment I can request a page with the framework by going www.domain.com/mypage but I need to use urls such as www.domain.com/mypage?variable=xyz

Is there anyway I can go about this? Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I have used the Rewrite log with a level of 3 and requested www.domain.com/?x=1 and this is what was in the log:

Not sure if this would help?

That's not exactly how QSA works, please see here flags_qsa. I think you are needing to capture the new query string, you don't have an existing one.

Try something like this

# Enable rewrite engine and route requests to framework
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?$1 [L,QSA]

You may need to add a leading / to index.php?$1 depending on where the rewrite rules are located.

It looks like not any rewrite rule will ever match / : in the two rewrite rules after the problematic one the "minimal" match is /./ and /././, so this two have no chance to match /.

You could add a rewrite rule specific to the url https://my.site.com/ just before the ".php" one :

 RewriteRule ^/$ /Director.php?rt= [L,QSA]

When you ask for / to your web server, it will serve the first page found with a name listed in the DirectoryIndex directive. If your DirectoryIndex contain index.php it is likely this page which is be catched by the rewrite rules actually.

OK, try this:

telnet localhost 443

Does that give a response, or does it hang? If it's responding, you should get something that looks like:

$ telnet localhost 443
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.

(if telnet is not installed, then install it; you can exit the telnet session by hitting control-] and then typing "q" to quit)

If you're able to connect to the web server on the local interface (and the web server is running, given your logs), then there is a firewall issue (I know you said you haven't set the firewall, but this will confirm). In that case, run:

iptables -L -n

and post the results.

Update

From comments, this is an EC2 instance, so look at the Security Groups associated with this instance. Make sure you're allowing tcp/443 in your Security Groups.
