For cPanel/WHM user, Munin is great server monitoring tools. It functions as a data logging and graphing system for time-series data. It can save years of real-time stats for data server and dispaly them in RRDtool graph at any time.

However, if you are using LiteSpeed Webserver, some of the data that related to Apache Webserver such as concurrent http connection will become unavailable.

Fortunately, LiteSpeed to provide an alternative monitoring tool but independent of Munin.

Redirect Default CakePHP Pagination URL to SEO Friendly URL with .htaccess

CakePHP, Redirect

.htaccess, CakePHP v2

In the previous post, I post a guide on how to create SEO friendly URL in CakePHP pagination.

However, if you already use default CakePHP pagination prior to that, you want to redirect the old pagination URL to the new SEO friendly URL.

I’m using .htaccess file to accomplish this.

Let’s take an example, by default we will have pagination URL like this

http://www.website.com/post
http://www.website.com/post/page:2
http://www.website.com/post/page:3
...

we would like to redirect to

http://www.website.com/post
http://www.website.com/post/page/2
http://www.website.com/post/page/3
...

To redirect, we have to edit .htaccess file located at /app/webroot/.htaccess. Next, add the following code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)/page:([0-9]+)/$ /$1/page/$2/ [R=301,L]
