I want to configure the .htaccess file to work the following way:
If the visitor tries to open a url with an existing folder name, redirect to main page (index.html).
I have the following rules for that:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^data/existing-folder-1$ https://example.com [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^data/existing-folder-1/$ https://example.com [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^data/existing-folder-2$ https://example.com [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^data/existing-folder-2/$ https://example.com [R=301,NC,L]
</IfModule>
And it's working fine.
If the user tries to open a forbidden type of file (like .php), send to 403.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://example.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(php|log|htaccess)$ - [F,L,NC]
And it's also working fine.
I don't want users to see the contents of the folders, so I have this line:
Options -Indexes
I think that's all the important details to see the background.
I have a /rd folder with a simple index.php file to redirect URLs:
$url=$_GET["url"];
if (empty($url)){
//
} else {
header("Location: " . $url, TRUE, 308);
// later on with special functions
exit();
}
Such a link on my page looks like this:
https://example.com/rd/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffoo-bar.com%2Fexample
Please note, that index.php is not written after /rd/ and before ?url. But if it's easier to solve this issue, I can modify it.
And now the problem comes here:
When I click on such a link through my website, it works perfectly.
But when I copy this redirect-link, and try to open in a new tab/window, it says 403 Forbidden. I think because #2 rule to disable access to .php files outside my domain.
Since I want to share those redirect links, I want them to be able to open when copy-paste the links.
I also don't want anyone to access any of my .php files - so it's not an option to remove rule #2.
How can I solve this issue? How can I enable to use the redirect links "alone", while keeping the rules to prevent access to files/folders?
Thank you.

I'm trying to bulk redirect my site link like this,I need to remove home from every link and redirect it to root directory as shown below.
example.com/home/hello-world.
example.com/home/tag/world.
to
example.com/hello-world
example.com/tag/world.
I'm using these code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/home(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ %1/ [R=301,L]
Considering that your htaccess rules file have more rules apart from your shown ones, which will take care of handling pages from backend(rewrite), if this is the case then please try following htaccess rules file.
Please these rules at top of your htaccess rules file. Also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteBase /example.com/
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
hi i read all of other questions but i cant resolve my problem.
i setup my joomla website in this url: https://www.example.com/new
and now i want reditect this to (https://www.example.com) with my data for example i want reditect example.com/new/all-ads-smart/103-Hotels or other to example.com/all-ads-smart/103-Hotels
also i test this but it dont work
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^new/(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
this just work when i open (https://www.example.com/new) and redirect me to (https://www.example.com) and when open this (https://www.example.com/new/ads.php) i give 404 error
in end i sorry for my bad english<3
my data is:
new/all-ads-smart/103-Hotels
to
/all-ads-smart/103-Hotels
RewriteRule ^new/(.*)$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This actually looks OK and should "work", providing it is in the root .htaccess file and located near the top of that file. However, if you still have a .htaccess file in the /new subdirectory then this is likely to override the directive in the parent .htaccess file - so it won't do anything.
However, it would be preferable to do this in the /new/.htaccess file instead (and keep the parent .htaccess file clean). For example, remove everything in the existing /new/.htaccess file and simply have an unconditional redirect:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This will override the parent .htaccess file and when anyone visits the /new subdirectory they will be redirected. (This uses mod_rewrite, as opposed to a mod_alias Redirect to ensure that it overrides the parent .htaccess file.)
Trying to ask my question again and explain it the best I can.
I am running WAMP on windows 10. Apache version 2.4.18. My project is in www folder named hoidja.ee. mod_rewrite is enabled, AllowOverrideis set to All.
Inside that folder I have .htaccess file, where I am trying to accomplish rewrite without redirect and it does not work at all. I know the .htaccess file is working, since I can rewrite index.php to /home/ for example and it is working perfectly fine.
I have a page with all the users listing. You can click on the user, and it will take you to a url:
http://localhost/Hoidja.ee/hoidja.php?user_id=94&username=John
How I would like this to show is
http://localhost/Hoidja.ee/user/John
without any redirection.
What I have tried:
#tried first with only user_id
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user_id=([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$
RewriteRule ^hoidja\.php$ /user/%1? [L]
This gave me 404 that /user/94 doesn't exist.
RewriteRule ^user/([0-9]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ hoidja.php?user_id=$1&username=$2 [QSA]
This doesn't do anything visually. If I enter http://localhost/Hoidja.ee/user/94/John in the url manually, it goes to that page and shows the user data, but if I enter the original url it does not rewrite it. I am using <base> as well.
I have tried all the possible ways but nothing seems to work. How can I accomplish the url rewrite?
You are getting the 404 error because you are rewriting to a non-existent path /user/94 .you will need to redirect /hoidja.php?user_id= to /user/94 and then rewrite /user/94 back to the real location.
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user_id=([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$
RewriteRule hoidja\.php$ /hoidja.ee/user/%1? [L,R]
RewriteRule ^(?:hoidja\.ee/)?user/(.+)$ /hoidja.ee/hoidja.php?user_id=$1 [L]
I have website1.com setup so that when users visit website1.com they get redirected via a meta tag in an index.html to website1.com/directory
Then they use the website and go to links such as website1.com/directory/index.html or what ever. I am trying to hide the "directory" in the link so that users only see website1.com/index.html
I have place the htaccess which is to rewrite the url to website1.com/index.html at website1.com/directory/.htaccess
I am not doing anything else special and this should be an easy task. My current exact htaccess is as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCondition %{REQUEST_URI} !^directory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ directory/$1 [L]
Should be easy right..... All I get is a 404
In my server I have Mod_Rewrite & mod security and suspect one of them is causing this not to work but can't imagine why. Am I missing something here?
Your rule is incorrect since %{REQUEST_URI} variable has starting /
You need to place this in document root
Use this code in document root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCondition %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /directory/$1 [L]
I'm trying to write the .htaccess file so that whatever the user requests, he will have the page index.html
I've written this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* index.html [NC]
I understand that this will cause: whatever the incoming request URL is, i.e, www.domain.com/*** (whatever comes after the slash), the result will be the page www.domain.com/index.html
However, I'm getting a Server error. What am I missing?
NOTE: I don't want it to be permanent redirect, I'm just trying to "hide" the content of my site for a couple of hours with that index.html page (which says that the site is under maintenance).
If you want to redirect everything to temporary maintenance page, you can do :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance.html$
RewriteRule .* /maintenance.html [L,R=302]
the R=302 flag is used to generate a temporary redirect
Try to remove Options +FollowSymlinks , some servers won't allow you to overwrite a php.ini setting.
