HELP HTACCESS

Mutale85 — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 16:22:36 +0000

Mine is a question.
I have a redirect from, (example.com/users?user='username')
I have redirected this to (example.com/username)
How I am also trying to redirect (example.com/members/settings) to (example.com/settings), the redirect seems to work, except that, its opening the page of (example.com/username).

Here is my code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ users/index.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^example.com/members/settings$ http://example.com/settings/ [R=301,L]

How can i make (example.com/settings) to open its own page?

How many projects can one person run?

I created an all in one university and college application system.
Then it was a big challenge signing up institution. They seem not to understand the whole concept of helping prospective applicants being able to apply to more than one college with just a click.

I have been thinking of giving up, then I feel, i can still make it work and it can be the next big school application system for Africa.

While it stalled, I developed a dating website.
I launched, after a month os 25 users, i pulled it down, I was using a free domain and hosted it on vultr...
The sad thing was, i missed the payment when i was deployed in the bush for military recap course. So vulture deleted my server and my data without backing it up.
I lost much time and I have felt lazy to get my dating site up again.

My Macbook charger broke and had no PC for two months. I was trying to organise funds to get a new charger... Here in my country, Macbook original chargers from Apple store cost a fortune, those from small local stores are typical Chinese (not original), they don't last long.
So, I lost valuable time. And if you are used to coding, then you find yourself with no computer, its almost like getting a toothache...
I resorted to doing morning and evening runs, while i sourced for funds.
A friend from Canada brought me a new charger and I excitedly got back to coding.
Its two months now, am thinking of either getting back my dating site online.
I forgot to mention that I also lost my domain name to goddady, and they have raised the price * 10 to get it back.

Anyway, am hoping no one buys the domain, and they release it so that i get get it again.

Right now, build https://weblister.co just to keep myself busy as I try to come up with a more viable project.

Tell me what you think if this article.

    $ch = curl_init($payUrl);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $payUrl);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,6);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/xml'));

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $datainput);

            $response = curl_exec($ch);

            curl_close($ch);

}

I am not getting any errors, but am not getting a redirect to the sandbox url. How can i make the Paynow Button to work like that?

Is it possible to covert a php website with MySQL database to node js?
The site will have a lot of request for signing up and login and and posting of form data to MySQL DB. Someone suggested that its better i use Node js As my backend to avoid delays in data process? Your comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
