Htaccess - multiple matches by error

[rasmusbang]

Hi all,

I stumbled upon an issue on my site.

We have a video section:

www.holdnyt.dk/video

htaccess rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^video index.php?area=video [L,QSA]

Problem is that these URLs give the same content:
www.holdnyt.dk/anystring/video
www.holdnyt.dk/whatsoever/video

Any one with a take on whats wrong with the htaccess line?

Hi Rasmus, maybe I'm missing something but it seems that you've set up a rule only for your www.domain.com/video page. The string ^video matches only that one and not domain.com/whateveryouwriteherewillbeignored/video

Try to add a (.*) before and associate that with a parameter since the only value you're passing is that the area is video I don't see anything specified in htaccess for that.

Hi Rasmus,

You can try what Emanuele mentioned before and if it doesn't work please let me know exactly which are the different alternatives of the URLs that you want to rewrite and the output URLs that you're looking to get so I can help you.

Thanks!
