i'm struggling with an htaccess rewrite command
what I have is
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mywebsite.co.uk$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/
I have a few URLs going to the same folder, some of them redirect to subfolders, which then run different templates. However, I also need to append a parameter to the end of every page that is redirected, eg, ?template=2
I can't just add it to the end manually, because some pages already have parameters, eg /?product=1 - so the second parameter needs to have the & sign not the ? sign.
Any help appreciated
You just need to add the QSA flag on the end of your rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/?template=2 [QSA,L]

I have searched but cannot find a specific answer for this exact redirect style...
I have this structure of URL with this specific parameter:
https://websitename.com/directory/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
I want it redirected to:
https://websitename.com/shopping-cart/
Note that the above mentioned "directory" changes, but the index.php with the parameters stay the same. No matter what the directory is, I always want it to go to the same exact redirect.
I cannot seem to get the right redirect working in htaccess. Can anyone help?
You can use this redirect rule as your first rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(?:index\.php)?\?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /shopping-cart/? [L,R=308]
# remaining rules go below this
You can use a set like this. It takes care on the param view=cart
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)view=cart
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shopping-cart/? [L,NC,R=301]
If you want to keep the querystring params, then change
/shopping-cart/?
to
/shopping-cart/
without questionmark
I want a redirect to happen if subfolder prefix is 'blog' and 'X' is not equal to 'party'.
This should not redirect
http://www.hostname.co.uk/blogs/blogparty
This should redirect
http://www.hostname.co.uk/blogs/blogX
to
http://www.hostname.co.uk/blogs/X
where 'X' is any string which does not equal to 'party'.
This should work on sub directories of this directory as well meaning this should be redirected too.
http://www.hostname.co.uk/blogs/blogX/blah/index.php
to
http://www.hostname.co.uk/blogs/X/blah/index.php
This is what i tried which is redirecting everything including 'blogparty'
# Redirect blogBLOGNAME to BLOGNAME excluding blogparty
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blogs/blogparty/.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blogs/blogparty$
RewriteRule ^/blogs/blog(.*) /blogs/$1 [R=301,L]
Your rules should have worked. I believe there are other routing rules below your shown rule. To handle this you can have your rule based on THE_REQUEST instead (which doesn't change after other rules):
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\s/+blogs/blogparty(/\S*)?\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^(blogs)/blog(.+)$ /$1/$2 [R=302,L,NC,NE]
I have problem when I try to redirect and rewrite together.
I have site example.com/show_table.php?table=12 (max 99 tables). I wanted nice links, so I got this .htacces rw rule:
RewriteRule ^table/([0-9]{1,2})$ show_table.php?table=$1 [L,NC]
Now are links something like example.com/table/12 - it's definitely OK. But I want all old links redirect to new format. So I use Redirect 301, I added to .htaccess this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} show_table.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^table=([0-9]{1,2})$
RewriteRule ^show_table\.php$ http://example.com/table/%1? [L,R=301,NC]
But when I visit example.com/show_table.php?table=12, I receive just redir-loop. I don't understant - the first is rewrite, the second is redirection, there ain't no two redirections. Do You see any error?
Thanks!
Instead of checking REQUEST_URI in the condition, you need to be checking in THE_REQUEST (which contains the full original HTTP request, like GET /show_table.php HTTP/1.1). When Apache performs the rewrite, it changes REQUEST_URI, so to the rewritten value, and that sends you into a loop.
# Match show_table.php in the input request
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /show_table\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^table=([0-9]{1,2})$
# Do a full redirection to the new URL
RewriteRule ^show_table\.php$ http://example.com/table/%1? [L,R=301,NC]
# Then apply the internal rewrite as you already have working
RewriteRule ^table/([0-9]{1,2})$ show_table.php?table=$1 [L,NC]
You could get more specific in the %{THE_REQUEST} condition, but it should be sufficient and not harmful to use show_table\.php as the expression.
You'll want to read over the notes on THE_REQUEST over at Apache's RewriteCond documentation.
Note: Technically, you can capture the query string in the same RewriteCond and reduce it to just one condition. This is a little shorter:
# THE_REQUEST will include the query string so you can get it here.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /show_table\.php\?table=([0-9]{1,2})
RewriteRule ^show_table\.php$ http://example.com/table/%1? [L,R=301,NC]
i have wildcard subdomains sets already and works fine, now i wish have friends url for the content in thats subdomains, the structure of my site is if the user type subdomain.maindomain.com and the .htaccess redirect to
blogs/index.php?user=subdomain
where blogs/index.php receive the param and show the correct content
now i try to make the url function like this
subdomain.maindoamin.com/24/title-of-content
and then .htaccess must result
blogs/index.php?id_content=24&title=title-of-content
i have the next .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
#this force to server the content always without www.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301]
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2 [L]
not working because when i make in index.php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
don't show idP=24 show /24/title-of-content and i need $_GET(idP)
i really apreciate some light on this stuff i am not expert on htaccess, thanks in advance to everybody.
There are two problems:
The first argument of RewriteRule matches against everything after the slash of the directory .htaccess is in, and before the query string. If .htaccess is in your www-root, and you get the url http://www.example.com/shiny/unicorns.php?are=shiny, you match against shiny/unicorns.php. It will never start with a slash, so ^/ will never match.
Rules are executed in order. If you go to http://sub.example.com/10/unicorns, the second rule will match first and rewrite the request to /blogs/index.php?url=10/unicorns. If you removed the leading slash the third rule would match, but normally you wouldn't want that. You want to have the third rule only match
You want to move the third rule up so it is the second rule. You want to make it more specific to only match with subdomains. You also know the first part contains only numbers, so use that knowledge to prevent blogs/index.php from matching your now second rule. You also need to prevent blogs/index.php from matching the now third rule to prevent it from matching itself. Last but not least I removed [L] from the now second rule, since the third rule will match anyway.
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blogs/index\.php
RewriteRule ^ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
I am trying to rewrite all the old oscommerce links to a new website. But I am having trouble with part of the URL I need to rewrite.
The link looks like this:
http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_72&products_id=129&osCsid=6j3iabkldjcmgi3s1344lk1285
This rewrite works for the above link:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129&osCsid=([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
But will not work for:
http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_72&products_id=129
My problem is that I want the rewrite to work no matter if the &osCsid=6j3iabkldjcmgi3s1344lk1285 part is included or not.
I think you can achieve this by not specifying the closing delimiter ($)
Give this a try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
By not putting the $ at the end of the regex string you are basically saying: match any string that starts with ..., no matter what comes after
Hope this helps :)
This should do the job just fine:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129
RewriteRule ^product_info\.php$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
There is no need for separate condition RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$ -- this part can be (actually, SHOULD BE, for better performance) moved to RewriteRule.
This is enough ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129 -- it tells "When query strings STARTS with ...". No need to include optional/non-important parameters osCsid=([A-Za-z0-9-_]+).
This rule is to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
