    <p>I have tried this several ways, read a lot of examples and questions here and still can't figure out if it can't be done at all.<br> What I want is to force access to certain files and functions using a certain URL format and deny access (fake 404) to everything else - even existing files/directories.</p> <p>This part works:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([\w]+)$ /somefolder/index.php?page=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^person/([\d]+) /somefolder/index.php?page=person&amp;id=$1 [NC,L] RewriteRule ^css/([\w]+\.css) /somefolder/css/$1 [NC,L] RewriteRule ^images/([\d]{4}-[\d]{2}-[\d]{2}/[\d]+\.(gif|jpe?g)) /somefolder/images/$1 [NC,L] </code></pre> <p>The following line, however, causes a 500 internal server error:</p> <pre><code>RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /somefolder/index.php?page=error [R=404] </code></pre> <p>I want that if /somefolder/index.php (or any other file/directory that may or may not exist) is requested by the visitor, it should return 404 and the error page. I also plan on adding this later:</p> <pre><code>ErrorDocument 404 /somefolder/index.php?page=error </code></pre> <p>The .htaccess file is in the root. Is this doable at all?</p> <p>Examples:</p> <p>(pages accessed by users and linked to by other pages)<br> <a href="http://example.com/breakfast" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/breakfast</a> -> <a href="http://example.com/somefolder/index.php?page=breakfast" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/somefolder/index.php?page=breakfast</a><br> (stylesheets used by the pages)<br> <a href="http://example.com/css/default.css" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/css/default.css</a> -> <a href="http://example.com/somefolder/css/default.css" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/somefolder/css/default.css</a><br> (images used in the documents)<br> <a href="http://example.com/images/2011-01-01/test.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/images/2011-01-01/test.jpg</a> -> <a href="http://example.com/somefolder/images/2011-01-01/test.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/somefolder/images/2011-01-01/test.jpg</a><br> (everything else)<br> <a href="http://example.com/this/may.exist" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/this/may.exist</a> -> 404 + error page</p> <p>.. which would mean that if someone attempts to get <a href="http://example.com/somefolder/css/default.css" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/somefolder/css/default.css</a> (exists), they wouldn't receive it.</p>

    1. CO¿How exactly is the `certain URL format`? If possible with a description that highlights the differences with the rest of URLs, specifying which segments are fixed strings and which are variable? That information is important to better understand what you want.

    2. COOne of the "format" parts would be that pages must be accessed by using the page name after the domain part, like http://example.com/thispage - requesting the real file should result in an error (missing).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
