I need to make a 301 redirect from
https://www.example.net/sub1/specific_keyword/page1/page2
https://www.example.net/sub2/sub3/specific_keyword/page3/page4
https://www.example.net/specific_keyword/page5/page6
to
https://www.example.net/sub1/
https://www.example.net/sub2/sub3/
https://www.example.net/
I tried this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/specific_keyword$ "https\:\/\/www\.example\.net\/$1" [R=301,L]
But no luck.
With your RewriteRule attempt, you demanded that the requested URL
ends with /folder-to-remove, via the $ at the end, so that won’t match (Source: #comment120998408_68464303)
With that fixed, place following rules at top of your htaccess Rules file. Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs or use a redirect checker online.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/.*$ $1/$2? [R=301,NE,L]
OR only match the specific keyword
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)specific_keyword/ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L,NE]

Trying to get
www.example.com
to go directly to
www.example.com/forum
How can I do this with this configuration? Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Right now I have added below content in .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forum/$1 [L,R=301]
I want result like
https://www.example.com/topic/topic-url/
to
https://www.example.com/forum/topic/topic-url/
With your shown samples, could you please try following. Please clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Your tried rules will be creating an infinite loop hence it may not be working, I have added a condition if uri doesn't start from forum then only proceed with redirection.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forum/$1 [L,R=301]
I'm trying to redirect http://vacation.website.com/category/spa-vacations/ to http://website.com/vacations/spa-vacations/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ $1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^vacation\.website\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://website.com/vacations/$1 [L,R=301]
With this htaccess, the first rule seems to be applied and removes "category" from the URL - then it's like it never happened and I'm left with http://website.com/vacations/category/spa-vacations/
Why doesn't the first change to the URL stick and is it possible to make it do so?
To redirect
http://vacation.website.com/category/spa-vacations/
to
http://website.com/vacations/spa-vacations/
Try this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?vacation\.website\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)$ https://website.com/vacations/$1 [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test.
Allright so I have a website where I want traffic to go from
http -> https
non www -> www
So the final url should look like: https://www.x.net
I set up some rewrite rules in my htaccess, which look like the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1
It works fine, everything gets redirected but the only problem is the following type of urls.
x.com/help
What happens is it will redirect to
https://www.x.comhelp
It removes the slash between com and help, I couldn't find an answer on Google so that's why I though, maybe my StackOverflow friend could help me out :)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}$1 [R=301,L]
You should not use both the %{REQUEST_URI} server variable and the $1 backreference together. Use one or the other, see below...
You would need to change your directives to the following. This uses a backreference to the RewriteRule pattern which notably excludes the slash, so this must be included in the substitution:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=302,L]
Alternatively, use the %{REQUEST_URI} server variable instead. (This includes the slash prefix.)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
Change the 302 (temporary) redirect to a 301 (permanent) redirect when you are sure it's working OK. (301 redirects are cached by the browser, so make sure your caches are cleared before testing.)
I have two domain names for the same website, and need to do a correct rewrite, so that whenever someone accesses the first domain name and all subdirectories, with, or without www. they get redirected to the second domain and subdirectories without www.
I managed to set the redirect for the domain name without subdirectories, but for whatever reason, subdirectories are not getting rewritten.
So when I go to domainnamenumberone.com, or www.domainnamenumberone.com, i get redirected to domaintwo.com – however, when I go to domainnamenumberone.com/wordpress/path or www.domainnamenumberone.com/wordpress/path I remain there, and nothing gets rewritten.
Here's what I placed in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domaintwo\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Would be grateful for your help!
You need to place this rule as very first rule in DocumentRoot/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domaintwo\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domaintwo.com/%1 [L,R=302,NE]
Then add this line in each child .htaccess like wordpress/ or wordpress/path/ (wherever .htaccess already exists) below RewriteEngine On line
RewriteOptions Inherit
You can use that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
But it seems to me that it should also work with yours.....
try a different browser (cache problem)
I'm trying to implement a solution using .htaccess and wildcard subdomains so that
http://subdomain.example.com is mapped to http://example.com/index.php/accounts/subdomain/. My rules look something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([a-z0-9-]+).example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*/) /index.php [PT,L]
Which works, but disregards everything else. When I try appending anything to the rule e.g:
RewriteRule ^(.*/) /index.php/hello [PT,L]
I get a 500 internal server error. How do I get this working?
You probably need to exclude the index.php from your rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([a-z0-9-]+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule !^index\.php($|/) index.php/accounts/%2%{REQUEST_URI} [PT,L]
This is an adaptation of the code I use to redirect subdomains on my own site. I make no claims to it being best practice but it works;
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^(www)\.example$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.example.com/index.php/accounts/%1/ [R=301,L]
Try changing your RewriteRule to
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php/accounts/%1/$1 [PT]
That will rewrite the URL to one that includes the subdomain and the original request URI.
EDIT: maybe it needs to be
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/accounts/%1/$1 [PT]
as mentioned in the comments.
