.htaccess URL internal Rewrite to (all)-Subdirectory - .htaccess

I'm currently have this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ /test/ [L]
(index.php seems to be necessary, it's from here:
How can I use .htaccess rewrite to redirect root URL to subdirectory?)
System: MacBook Pro - XAMPP 8.1.2 (installer not VM)
I’m trying to rewrite not redirect (not changing adressbar), everything to /test/
This is working:
Typing in:
localhost/
should show content of
localhost/test/
This is not working:
with all subdirectories localhost/test2/ -> localhost/test/test2/ …

Ok this works (as far as I understand 🙈):
Prevent endless redirecting and getting path (with file (complete
URI))
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
Rewrite everything to /subdirectory/ + requested path/file
RewriteRule (.*) /subdirectory/%1 [L]
%1 get's URI from RewriteCond.
That's necessary 'cause (.*) won't give us the whole URI (path + index.html ...), it's just the path.
And the same for nginx:
if ($uri !~ "^/subdirectory/"){
rewrite /(.*) /subdirectory$uri last;
}

Rewrite url to pretty after redirect to folder - htaccess laravel

Hello I have a "protected" folder on my server. In its .htaccess file for conditional redirect of some users I use the following rules:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^1\.2\.3\.4*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/special
RewriteRule ^$ /special [R,NE,NC]
In the /special folder I have a .htaccess file with the following rules:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^1\.2\.3\.4$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [R=301,NE,NC,L]
The application in the folder will be laravel based so my content will have to be served from index.php file residing in /special/laravel/public/index.php
I want the URL to look like /special/.
What rules should I put and where for this to happen?
This is a follow up to my previous question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24487012/redirecting-specific-ip-to-special-content-htaccess-vs-php
Simply rewrite the URL with .htaccess: (goes in /)
DirectoryIndex index.php
#Redirect to /special/laravel/public if you haven't already and the IP is okay
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^1\.2\.3\.4*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/special/laravel/public
RewriteRule ^(/special)(/laravel)?(.+) /special/laravel/public$2 [L]
#if IP does not match and you ARE in the folder, then Redirect to root
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^1\.2\.3\.4*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/special/laravel/public
RewriteRule .? / [R=301,L]
I think that'll work. I didn't test it though. I can add to it if you need me to. And of course for your use case you may need to add some more RewriteConds in there for validating the REMOTE_ADDR.
The way I handle it:
.htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/load_page.php$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /load_page.php [QSA, L]
That causes the server to redirect internally to load_page.php if the requested URL is not load_page. Without the RewriteCond, I believe it would cause an infinite redirect. This should work, but I didn't test it because it's different from my implementation, since mine also handles rewriting URLS to have trailing slashes and never show .php which makes it a bit more complex and quite different.
load_page.php:
$SITE_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$URL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
ob_start();
if (conditionOne){
//change $URL here if you need to or do nothing
} else if (conditionTwo){ //check the IP or whatever you want to here
if (aCondition){//if $URL starts with '/special'
$URL = str_ireplace('/special/','/special/laravel/public/',$URL,1);
}
if (is_dir($SITE_ROOT.$URL))$URL .='index.php';
}
if (!file_exists($SITE_ROOT.$URL))$URL = '/error/404.php';
include($SITE_ROOT.$URL);
$content = ob_get_clean();
echo $content;
It's something to that affect. The user doesn't see load_page.php and they don't see that you changed the URL to special/laravel/public, but you include the correct file.

htaccess URL rewrite rule for everything under a folder

I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]

modrewrite website with slash in .htaccess

How can I translate an URL like:
http://localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&subsublink=DETAIL
to:
http://localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE/DETAIL
if one parameter is empty it should still work like this:
localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE
localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE
Extra problem: There is an enter page under index.php and the rewrite should work with index2.php. Best would be if it would work under localhost and on live system without changes.
Currently I'm using: RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ index2.php?link=$1 [L]
But that only works for one parameter and I couldn't improve this code for ages ^^
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(/([^/.]+))?(/([^/.]+))?$ index2.php?link=$1&sublink=$3&subsublink=$5 [L,QSA]
Note that localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE links to localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&sussublink= and not localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE.
Should not be a big issue, but make sure the PHP code doesn't us isset($_GET['subsublink']).
Try adding the following to your htaccess file in the mysitedirectory of your site.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mysite/
# rewrite http://localhost/mySite/OFFERS/ARTICLE/DETAIL to
# http://localhost/mySite/?link=OFFERS&sublink=ARTICLE&subsublink=DETAIL
#assumes that index2.php is in the root directory of site
RewriteRule ^([-a-zA-Z0-9])+/([-a-zA-Z0-9])+/([-a-zA-Z0-9])+ index2.php?link=$1&sublink=$2&subsublink=$3 [NC,L]
#redirect index to index2
#if you do not want to redirect, just server rewrite, remove the R=301 below
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ index2.php [NC,L,R=301]

.htaccess subdomains redirect is not working

Ok, now I am lost.
I am trying to do a simple .htaccess redirect of subdomains to a specific folder on the server, meaning all
subdomain.mywebsite.com
will go to
www.mywebsite.com/s_subdomain
But for some reasons this doesn't work.
I have tried a lot of settings in .htaccess but for no good. Now in my .htaccess I have:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +SymlinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www|ftp|mail)\.mywebsite\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mywebsite\.com
RewriteRule (.*) /s_%1/$1 [L]
Are there any other settings, or is somethig I have missed?
PS. - I don't have access to http.conf. I have to do it using only .htaccess
Thanks!
This is just a "plain" rewrite (the browser won't see it). To redirect, add the R flag to your RewriteRule.
RewriteRule (.*) /s_%1/$1 [L,R]
The rest seems right, although I haven't tested it. For debugging you could consider RewriteLog, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritelog
So, neither solution does work? Try something simple then.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond ${SERVER_NAME} ^(subdomain)\.yoursite\.com$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/s_%1/$1 [L,R]
To test if your subdomain is handled correctly, create random.html file, place it where it should be read from, and try opening it via http://subdomain.yoursite.com/random.html. Then you can try some stuff like:
RewriteRule ^random.html - [F]
...and if that blocks access to file, try prepending
RewriteCond ${SERVER_NAME} ^subdomain\.yoursite\.com$ [nc]
to previous rule, to block access to that file, to make sure that rewrite engine is actually hitting your rules. That would target only desired subdomain (www.yoursite.com/random.html should work, but access via subdomain shouldn't).
Then if those rules work, it's just a matter of adding more stuff and see when it stops working.
RewriteRules are a bitch.
The following should work:
.htaccess:
RewriteCond ${SERVER_NAME} !^(www|ftp|mail)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond ${SERVER_NAME} !^([^.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule .* redirect.php?to=%1
redirect.php
<?php
$desired_server_name = 'http://example.com';
$subdir = 's_' . $_GET['to'];
$url = $desired_server_name . '/' . $to . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// Permanent redirects
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
// Or simple redirects:
header('HTTP/1.1 302 Found');
header('Location: '.$url);
?>
Works on my server (debian 4/apache 2).
Bonus: do not EVER use HTTP_HOST! See the following request:
HTTP/1.1 GET /foo/bar.php
Host: www.host.tld"><script>alert(/Hello/)</script
Connection: close
If you use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] in your .php scripts to construct links or .htaccess rules for that matter and "www.host.tld" is the virtual-host or the only host configured for Apache, the XSS in the HTTP request header will be passed down unescaped.
We have a similar thing working on our Virtual Machines, where we redirect anything.usertld to a folder for that domain, that was in httpd.conf, tried in in the .htaccess and like yours it didn't work.
Tweaking it, this works for me (my VM occupies a tld called benb, but changing it to your domain should be fine):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.benb
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.benb
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/{0,1}s_
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ s_%1/$1 [L]
Also this captures all the text before the domain.. you should be able to change:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.benb
to
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.benb
to handle just 1 level of subdomain. Also your other part about (www|ftp|mail) would work fine too.

mod_rewrite to 302 a blank query string

I'm currently working with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /somepath
RewriteRule ^/$ home [R]
I'd like to have requests of GET /somepath to redirect via 302 to /somepath/home. What am I missing here?
When using mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file, the base path is removed from the requested URL path before testing the patterns. That means /somepath (or rather /somepath/, since you’re actually in /somepath/) is removed so that the remaining path is empty. So:
RewriteRule ^$ home [R]
