htaccess , can't access homepage - html

I'm trying to set locally a project that run on the web on a NGIX server. This is the htaccess i have downloaded:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~sitename/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~sitename/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I'm trying to run it locally on an Apache server(on mamp) . It have placed the project in a folder on the server root:
http://localhost/sitename/
But i get a blank page.
I can access a specific internal page (and only that one) if i remove the tilde
~
Even without the tilde, i can't access the homepage of the project.
So what i'm doing wrong?
How the tilde works in this context ?
EDIT
my mod_rewrite is loaded/enabled

Laravel auth/login route not working in server but localhost

I am using laravel 5.4 default authentication system and it is working fine in localhost but when i upload my project to server, it is breaking. when i fill mail and password, it return back me 404 file not found error.
My site url is http://www.happycoder.me/imsRever2.0
You need to configure the .htaccess file as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^imsRever2.0
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ imsRever2.0/$1 [L]
Otherwise, the main web server will not the routing, vs laravel causing the 404 error when the file isn't found.
My htaccess file is below what things i need to change
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
# Handle Authorization Header
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

getting html5 boilerplate .htaccess file to work on dreamhost site

Completely new to Apache.
Trying to remove ".html" extension from urls by adding the following lines (found here):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
to this (including ^ those lines now):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Enable the `FollowSymLinks` option if it isn't already.
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# If your web host doesn't allow the `FollowSymlinks` option, you need to comment it out or remove it, and then uncomment the `Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch` line, but be aware of the performance impact.
# Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteBase /
# RewriteOptions <options>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^ - [env=proto:https]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ - [env=proto:http]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
</IfModule>
But the .html extensions remain in the visible urls.
I couldn't find any info on whether Dreamhost allows FollowSymLinks, but I tried it enabled, as well as SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, I also tried disabling RewriteBase / and even removing the mod rewrite if statement. I'm placing the file in my website's root directory, and tried placing it in the parent folder to that too with no results. Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
The full .htaccess is here.
Solved:
I still don't know why the above code didn't work, but I just used the code from Dreamhost's wiki instead:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index$ http://Your_Site_Url_Goes_Here.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://Your_Site_Url_Goes_Here.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.+)\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ http://Your_Site_Url_Goes_Here.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ /$1.html [L]
</IfModule>
Be mindful that the above code may cause new problems, as it is causing one of my pages to return a 403 Forbidden error, but I think that's a whole other problem irrelevant to my original question so I consider this a solve and will fix the above code when I find a solution elsewhere.
Symlinks seem to have been irrelevant.
.htaccess file goes in >mySite.com directory, rather than the directory that contains this directory
DreamHost wiki has a guide on how to use Apache redirects and rewrites. The guide mentions FollowSimylinks
You should also check the Apache error logs to see what fails (and edit your question to be more specific about the result you see in the browser).

openshift default url to redirect to my domain name

I installed wordpress in an OpenShift free small gear. Excited and trying things out. so my installation can be reached at wpapp-wpapp.rhcloud.com and it works fine. I added another alias there such as mydomain.com (no www in front). Now in my DNS I have my # host name pointing to wpapp-wpapp.rhcloud.com as CNAME and www host name is pointing to mydomain.com (no www in front) as URL Redirect since I want www.mydomain.com to go to mydomain.com. All this is working fine.
The question is when I place in address bar wpapp-wpapp.rhcloud.com it still goes to wpapp-wpapp.rhcloud.com. Can I make wpapp-wpapp.rhcloud.com go to mydomain.com. Is this even possible?
Thank you.
You can do this via .htaccess.
Edit .openshift/config/.htaccess, adding the block starting with "Redirect any host that is...":
RewriteEngine on
# Uncomment the following lines to force HTTPS
#RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
#RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# Redirect any host that is not example.com to example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 [L,R]
# WordPress Defaults
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
See the Apache URL Rewriting Guide for more info on .htaccess re-writes.

remove .html extension from url

I'm trying to remove the .html extension from url for my website by editing the .htaccess file under the web root(public_html) directory. My server is bluehost.
The problem is that I have previous settings in the .htaccess file already for the redirecting primary domain to a subdirectory purpose.
The script is below. Also with the script i found online for hiding the extension from url.(The script doesn't work) It will be really nice if someone can help me out with the problem. Thanks.
# Use PHP5.4 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54s .php
# BlueHost.com
# .htaccess main domain to subdirectory redirect
# Do not change this line.
RewriteEngine on
# Change example.com to be your main domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?qinglish.ca$
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/qinglish_ca/
# Don't change the following two lines.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /qinglish_ca/$1
# Change example.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subdirectory' to be the directory you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?qinglish.ca$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ qinglish_ca/index.html [L]
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]
Instead of your last rule you will need these rules to remove .html extensions fro all URLs:
## hide .html extension
# To externally redirect /dir/file.html to /dir/file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.+?)\.html[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=302,L,NE]
# To internally forward /dir/file to /dir/file.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.html [L]
Place them at same place where you have current rule to add .html extension.

Trying to redirect all index.html on my wordpress site through my htaccess

I'm trying to strip all index.html file & extension exactly like my index.php rule works.
Meaning that instead of
www.discretix/modules-hdcp/index.html
There should be
www.discretix/modules-hdcp/
It works for index.php but in index.html it Doesn't.
I'm using wordpress and my server is apache.
These are my htaccess rules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~discretix/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~discretix/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
The following rule will redirect the user from either index.html or index.php to the folder (this will be reflected in the clients browser address bar) using a 301 redirect (moved permanently), you might want to change this to 302 redirect (originally temporary redirect, but now commonly used to specify redirection for unspecified reason)
RewriteBase /~discretix/
RewriteRule ^index\.(html|php)$ ./ [R=301,L]
