.htaccess
There is a problem with the rewrite rules. Pass the URL from the user's email to the browser that contains the token for password reset.
Current .htaccess
Rules:
Options FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngineOn RewriteBase/ RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.DOMAIN\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://DOMIAN.com/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:GET|POST)\ /.*\.php\ HTTP.*$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301,L]
When the user tries to go
example.com/activate/00803e6632236414ebcdc34c7e7690d764e567083fac6
Producing these errors in debugging
example.com/activate/00803e6632236414ebcdc34c7e7690d764e567083fac6.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php.php
So I followed the comments below and updated .htaccess like this:
Options FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngineOn RewriteBase/ RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.EXAMPLE\.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://EXAMPLE.com/$1 [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:GET|POST)\ /.*\.php\ HTTP.*$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301,L] # Rewrite extensionless ".php" URLs RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule (. ) $1.php [L] # Rewrite "/<file>/<code>" to "/<file>.php/<code>" RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule ^([^/] )/([a-f0-9])$ $1.php/$2 [L]
I get the following error:
AH00128: File does not exist: /var/www/html/htdocs/activate/00803e6632236414ebcdc34c7e7690d764e567083fac6

The problem with this rule is that you are checking one file system path (i.e. %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php
) and rewriting to another file system path ($1.php
). These don't necessarily mean the same thing. For a request to /activate/foo
, where activate
is not a file system directory, the format of REQUEST_FILENAME
is /var/www/html/htdocs /activate
(so the file check succeeds because /var/www/html/ htdocs/activate.php
exists), but it rewrites the request to activate/foo.php
(using $1
backreference) - The request does not exist. It will do this repeatedly, appending .php
each time (until the internal rewrite limit is reached; default 10).
Aside#1: Before checking whether request .php
is mapped to a file, there is no need to check whether the request is mapped to a directory and not to a file. That's 3 (expensive) filesystem checks when only one is needed.
Aside#2: You also don't need to backslash escape the literal dots in TestString (the first parameter), since this is a "normal" string, Not a regular expression.
This rule needs to be corrected so that you test the same file paths that will ultimately be rewritten. For example:
# Rewrite extensionless ".php" URLs RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule (. ) $1.php [L]
Then you need an additional rule to rewrite request /activate/
to
/activate.php/
(replace
/
Passed to your script as path information). If this is a one-off, this may be "hardcoded". For example:
# Rewrite "/activate/" to "/activate.php/"
RewriteRule ^(activate)/([a-f0-9] )$ $1.php/$2 [L]
(I'm assuming is a hexadecimal sequence, which seems to be the case in your example.)
Alternatively, if you have a similar request, make it more generic. For example. /<File>/
to
/<File>.php/
. For example:
# Rewrite "// " to "/
.php/ " RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f RewriteRule ^([^/] )/([a-f0-9] )$ $1.php/$2 [L]
Narration:
This rule (external redirect) should precede the above rewrite.
