Rewrite rules - multiple requests priorities - .htaccess

I'm trying to make some sense with a multi-page and multi-domain redirect .htaccess and can't find a solution. Of course my bad...
For SEO optimization I need to redirect all the old subdomains pages of a project to the main domain root BUT some pages, that should be redirected to a chosen main domain subdirectories.
Example:
old.domain.com/ => www.domain.com/
old.domain.com/subdir => www.domain.com/
old.domain.com/specific => www.domain.com/newspecific
old.domain.com/another => www.domain.com/newanother
I'm not really good at rewriting rules and I came up with something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# should be old.domain.com/specific => www.domain.com/newspecific
RewriteRule https://2014.designintown.org/2014/07/30/progetto-food-design/ https://www.designintown.org/progetto/ [R=301,L]
# should be old.domain.com/ => www.domain.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.designintown.org/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
While the second rule seems to work, the first doesn't.
What am I getting wrong?
Thank you in advance for your support.
UPDATE
I eventually solved it with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/2014/07/30/progetto-food-design/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/progetto/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/borse-di-studio/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/agevolazioni/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/docenti/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/docenti/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.designintown.org/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

I eventually solved it with:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/2014/07/30/progetto-food-design/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/progetto/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/borse-di-studio/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/agevolazioni/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/docenti/$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.designintown.org/docenti/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.designintown.org/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

.htaccess error 500 on RewriteRule

This line cause an 500 error in apache :
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /frontend/artist/artist.php?seo=$1 [QSA,L]
Here is my all htaccess :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.fr [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.test.fr/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /frontend/artist/artist.php?seo=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
Any ideas why ?
That's because you're creating an infinite loop error.
Your rule will always match and will execute on and on.
Example:
http://www.test.fr/this/url/is/cool
will be rewritten to
/frontend/artist/artist.php?seo=this/url/is/cool
which will also be rewritten because your rule matches everything without exception.
And so on...
Solution
To avoid this behaviour, you can add a simple condition (check if it's an existing file or not)
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /frontend/artist/artist.php?seo=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

How to hide page name and extention from url using .htaccess

I want to hide all my page names and extension from url,
htt://www.domain.com/innerpage.php
to
http://www.domain.com/
and
http://www.domain.com/subfolder/innerpage.php
to
http://www.domain.com/subfolder/
and
http://www.domain.com/subfolder/subfolder/innerpage.php
to
http://www.domain.com/subfolder/subfolder/
I used like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/subfolder/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/subfolder/subfolder/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.php [L]
its not work
I think this will work for you
DirectoryIndex innerpage.php index.php index.html index.htm
Put this as first line of your .htaccess. This directive will look for innerpage.php if no page has been specified for a directory. If you want to hide all pages in your site URL's then it's not a good idea IMO.
Give this set of directives a try:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?$ /innerpage.php
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/?$ /$1/innerpage.php
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/?$ /$1/$2/innerpage.php
RewriteRule ^innerpage.php$ / [R]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/innerpage.php$ /$1 [R]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/innerpage.php$ /$1/$2 [R]
And be surprise what will happened...

.htaccess & mod_rewrite redirect issues

Alright. I'm having no luck. So I figured I'd see if you all could help make some sense of this issue.
I've inherited a site that previously had a lot of different subdomains, which have now all been written into the .htaccess file to rewrite as subdirectories (i.e., blog.site.com becomes site.com/blog).
To avoid duplicate content issues, I also need to rewrite all site.com URL's as www.site.com. And even though the current rules look good to me, they're apparently not rewriting all the subdirectories of the domain. (I've never been that great with RegEx, so that could be part of the problem.)
Here are the current rules from .htaccess:
#---------------------------------
# Start rewrite engine
#---------------------------------
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{PATH_INFO} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\..+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^docs\..+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
#---------------------------------
# Rewrite some of our subdomains
#---------------------------------
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ "http://www.site.com/blog/$1" [R=301,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^docs\.site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.site.com/docs/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^wiki\.site\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.site.com/wiki/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
#---------------------------------
# Wordpress specific - do not place anything below this line
#---------------------------------
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
(Obviously, some of them exist to allow for a local dev environment, etc).
Any thoughts on why I'm not seeing site.com/directory rewritten as www.site.com/directory? What am I missing here?

htaccess adding query string to 301 redirect

Can sombody help me out with this, im trying to re direct a page using htaccess file but it keeps adding ?c=oldpage on to the end of the new url, example:
http://www.mydomain.co.uk/newpage.html?c=oldpage
i have tried some of the solutions posted here but no luck, here is my .htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} PHPSESSID=.*$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product/(.*).html$ product.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ category.php?c=$1 [L,NC]
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.mydomain.co.uk/newpage.html
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
Thanks for any help.
This is mod_alias (the Redirect directive) and mod_rewrite not playing nicely with each other. Because both modules apply their directives on the same URI in the URL-file mapping pipeline, they don't know to ignore each other since neither directive knows what the other module is doing. Since you're targets overlap, both modules are applying their directives on the same URI and you get a mish-mashed result.
You need to stick with mod_rewrite in this case and move the redirect above the internal rewrites:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
# redirects
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} PHPSESSID=.*$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^oldpage.html$ http://www.mydomain.co.uk/newpage.html [R=301,L]
# internal rewrites
RewriteRule ^product/(.*).html$ product.php?p=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ category.php?c=$1 [L,NC]
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.abc\.net$
RewriteRule ^example\.html$ "http\:\/\/abc\.net\/example\/" [R=301,L]
RewriteOptions inherit
to a folder, or:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc\.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.abc\.net$
RewriteRule ^example\.html$ "http\:\/\/abc\.net\/example\.html$" [R=301,L]
RewriteOptions inherit
Don't know much about it, but it's what i use, hope it helps.

How to fix URL canonicalization with .htaccess?

I wan't the server to always redirect my URL's to format as "http://www.domain.com", even if the user write just "domain.com".
I could find some examples of this on the web, but I already have some fixes in .htaccess file and I don't know, where to put what, so it does't clash with the previous code.
Here's my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
ErrorDocument 404 /404
RewriteRule ^adminator/?$ adminator/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2&detail3=$3&detail4=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2&detail3=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1 [QSA,L]
What should I put in, so it does the URL redirect to "www"?
And one last question, is it all I have to do, so search engines don't have problems with the URL's?
I usually do the contrary.
you probably want www.example.com to forward to example.com -- shorter URLs
are sexier.
no-www.org/faq.php?q=class_b
Thanks to HTML5 boilerplate, I usually add :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
If you want to do that in your .htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
ErrorDocument 404 /404
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^adminator/?$ adminator/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2&detail3=$3&detail4=$4 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2&detail3=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1&detail2=$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?detail1=$1 [QSA,L]
Else, try the inverse RewriteCond and associate RewriteRule
Your [^/\\.] pattern simplifies to [^/.] as the period does NOT need escaping.
