Htaccess redirect all if no specific useragent? - .htaccess

How to redirect all useragent except useragent wget ? what to add?
SetEnvIf User-Agent .*Wget* wget
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=wget


You could just add a "redirecting" ErrorDocument directive to your existing directives. For example:
ErrorDocument 403 https://example.com/url/to/redirect/to
When combined with your existing directives (that "block" all other User-Agents) this will trigger a 302 (temporary) redirect to the stated URL for anything other than wget.
Alternatively, replace your existing directives with the following mod_rewrite rule instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !Wget
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com/url/to/redirect/to [R=302,L]
Both of these assume the URL you are redirecting to maps to a different server, otherwise, you'll like get a redirect loop.

Blocking ip with htaccess

I have a htaccess file with following code when trying to block an IP:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ErrorDocument 404 /errors.php
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from 188.143.232.
Allow from all
Blocking my own IP works when browsing www.example.com, but it does not block for anything else (like www.example.com/index.php or www.example.com/home, ....). The htaccess is located in the same directory as index.php (httpdocs folder).
How can I get it to work?

You can also use a mod-rewrite based ip-blocking to block unwanted ip(s) :
RewriteEngine on
#--if client ip==188.143.232
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^188\.143\.232
#--forbid the request
RewriteRule ^ - [F,L]

.htaccess - block request if containts a word (variable)

I'm getting tons of requests on my site based on an old url (get variable) structure. Its not something humans follow, so instead of redirecting it I want to block it so it uses almost 0 resources from server.
If the url contains something like thewebsite.com/?s=bla&some_variable=1 I want to block it with prejuduce!
This is what I have but it does not seem to work.
<FilesMatch "some_variable=1$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>
What am I doing wrong here?

You could parse query string with mod_rewrite and QUERY_STRING.
You can put this code in your root htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} some_variable=1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
Note: don't forget to check if mod_rewrite is enabled

I need to remove /en from all URLs, would like to use .htaccess

Using Joomla and trying to stop using JoomFish, but for the time we did use it, other sites linked to our pages as "basedomain.org/en/everypage". Now those links go to 404 errors.
How do I use .htaccess to rewrite or redirect all requests for basedomain.org/en/everypage to basedomain.org/everypage??

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^en/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=302]
Once you've confirmed it works, change 302 to 301. (301 is very hard to debug because browsers cache it)
Or, use a RedirectMatch (simpler, and no need to enable the RewriteEngine):
RedirectMatch permanent /en/(.*) http://www.example.com/$1
(replace www.example.com with your own domain)

instead of 404 error, redirect to other site using htaccess

We've moved a site to another domain and setup the htacess as bellow, but how can i set a rule "if page dosnt exist - (ie 404 error) redirect to new site homepage." To be used as a fall back, if someone follows a broke url to our old site.
<Files ~ "^\.(htaccess|htpasswd)$">
deny from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.oldsite\.co\.uk)(:80)? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://oldsite.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk http://newsite.co.uk
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk/index.html http://newsite.co.uk
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk/contact-us.html http://newsite.co.uk/contact-us.html
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk/bespoke-furniture.html http://http://newsite.co.uk/bespoke-furniture.html
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk/about-us.html http://newsite.co.uk/about-us.html
Redirect permanent http://oldsite.co.uk/how.html http://newsite.co.uk/about-us.html
order deny,allow

You could simply use this.
ErrorDocument 404 http://newsite.co.uk

.htaccess rewriterule - check for referrer, if wrong referrer send to a specific URL, if right, allow directory to be read

I have a folder on my site (domain.com/protect) I want to limit to only one referrer (otherdomain.com/subfolder).
Deny for all others, allow only if coming from that URL.
If not coming from that URL, then redirect the visitor over to otherdomain.com/login instead.
How would I write that out in .htaccess rewrite rules?

In the htaccess file in your /protect directory, add these rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !otherdomain\.com/subfolder
RewriteRule ^ - [L,F]
The condition checks that the referer doesn't contain: otherdomain.com/subfolder, and if it doesn't, then whatever the request is (inside the /protect directory) will result in a 403 Forbidden.
Alternatively, you can put these rules in the htaccess file in your document root if you would rather keep everything in once place:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !otherdomain\.com/subfolder
RewriteRule ^/?protect/? - [L,F]
