How To Remove .cgi From URL With .htaccess? - .htaccess

I use a .cgi file to run python on my server. However, whenever someone goes to the site, it brings them to https://example.com/main.cgi/ (main.cgi is the name of the cgi file). Is there a way to remove this from the .htacess file, so it goes to https://example.com/ but still runs the cgi file?
This is the current .cgi file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /website
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /main.cgi/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
How can I make a RewriteRule that makes the URL / go to /main.cgi/ without it appearing in the URL?

You should make your https implementation as a first rule of your .htaccess file, could you please try following. Written as per your shown samples, please make sure you clear your cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##Rule for applying https to non-http calls.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
##Look for if any page doesn't have `/`slashes at the end then add it.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]
##Rules for non exiting file or directory to main.cgi file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ main.cgi [L]
NOTE: Using RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE] personally gives me 1 slash at end so I had written a separate rule for adding trailing / for this one, to avoid 2 times / at the end of url.

Url rewriting rule with .htaccess file

I'm here to ask for advice about the .htaccess file that I can't configure as I would like.
I have a site, let's say :
www.mysite.com/php/blog.php
I would like the visitor to see in the address bar only:
www.mysite.com/blog
This is what the .htaccess file contains:
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ index.php #This line is to hide index.php on the home page, maybe it's not the right way to do it
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^php/([0-9a-zA-Z]+).php$ $1 [L] #I tried to write this, but it doesn't work
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I suspect that this question has been asked many times, but I have really tried, without success.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks !
Your patter is wrongly expecting URI to start with /php/ which is not the case here. Also keep http -> https rules at top and then handle .php extension rule like this:
RewriteEngine On
# http -> https redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
# To externally redirect /php/file.php to /file
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(?:php/)?(\S+?)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]
# To internally forward file to /php/file.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/php/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ php/$1.php [L]

Avoid infinite loop with 301 redirects

I'm using .htaccess to redirect
http://www.example.com/foo/
to
http://www.example.com/foo/bar
This is my code:
redirect 301 /foo/ http://www.example.com/foo/bar
However this produces a feedback loop, something like
http://www.example.com/foo/barbarbarbarbarbar etc.
I've tried placing delimiters around it:
redirect 301 ^/foo/$ http://www.example.com/foo/bar
but then the redirect simply doesn't take place. I'm probably missing some very simple point of syntax. Any ideas? Thanks.
EDIT
Here's my (almost) full .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Canonical is www version
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
#redirect => http unless special page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(javascripts|images|library|stylesheets)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#redirect => https for special pages
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# send to router
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [L]
Have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Canonical is www version
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#redirect => http unless special page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/(javascripts|images|library|stylesheets)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#redirect => https for special pages
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule !^index\.php$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^foo/?$ /foo/bar [L,NC,R=301]
# send to router
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
make sure to test this in a new browser or clear your browser cache before testing.
For your information, it really depends on your hosting provider. It may be behind a Load Balancer and you don't have the proper env var set (like HTTPS and others...).
In my case (Infomaniak), nothing actually worked and I got infinite redirect loop.
The right way to do this for Infomaniak is actually explained in their support site:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteRule (.*) https://your-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
So, always check with your hosting provider. Hopefully they have an article explaining how to do this. Otherwise, just ask the support.
It depends on what is the resource that you want to expose with your redirect.
Is it a file or a directory.
if you would expose a directory under bar you should try :
RedirectMatch 301 ^/foo/ http://www.example.com/foo/bar/
if you would redirect to a file you should use this syntax :
redirect 301 /foo http://www.example.com/foo/bar
you can see this post for more informations
Instead of using redirect, you can use passthrough.
RewriteRule ^/foo$ /foo/bar [PT]

Redirect select pages to https

I have a very simple question that for some reason I cannot figure out, and hours of searching has not helped either. Using an .htaccess file, how can I redirect just /login.php and /index.php to https, and then redirect any other page to just http? I currently use this code to redirect to https, but it redirects every page:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !443
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://www.ruxim.com/$1 [R]
thank you very much.
The %{SERVER_PORT} variable depends on the UseCanonicalPhysicalPort in your config. If it's not setup, then you may not be able to match against that variable, easier to use %{HTTPS} instead.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^/?(login|index)\.php https://www.ruxim.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule !^/?(login|index)\.php http://www.ruxim.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
If you don't need the redirect to non-https, then you don't need the second rule.
Try something like this;
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} =index.php [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} =login.php
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
I'm note 100% sure if the [OR] will comply suddenly in the middle.
Please apply following conditions to secure only /login.php and /index.php pages. Other pages will be work on HTTP path (non-secure pages).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# force https for /login.php and /index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule ^(index|login)\.php$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# don't do anything for images/css/js (leave protocol as is)
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png|css|js)$ - [NC,L]
# force http for all other URLs
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index|login)\.php$
RewriteRule .* http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Problem with .htaccess redirect error

I'm creating a custom .htaccess redirect file and I'm running in to a strange problem
Here is my .htaccess file rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.site\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^postreview/ /viewreview.php [NC,PT]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]*)/?([^/\.]*)/?([^/\.]*)/?$ /template2.php?slash1=$1&slash2=$2&slash3=$3 [L]
To sum up what I am trying to achieve:
1. Force www
2. Have the 3 slash areas translated to variables for tempalte2.php
3. send postreview to viewreview.php
Most of what I am trying to do is working, but I have a strange bug.
When I enter "site.com/slash1" It redirect to "www.site.com/site.com/slash1/"
But if I enter "site.com/slash1" it redirects to www.site.com/slash1/
For some reason it also adds a "/" to the end of everything. Not sure why..
Any ideas?
For some reason it also adds a "/" to the end of everything. Not sure why..
It's due to this rule
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
Change it to
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Remove www site-wide, force https on certain directories and http on the rest?

Firstly, I would like to remove the www. from my domain name
http://www.example.com => http://example.com
I would also like for certain directories to be secure (https), while the rest remain http
http://example.com/login => https://example.com/login
Obviously it needs to work for all conditions, for example if someone types in:
http://www.example.com/login => https://example.com/login
Also when people navigate away from the login page it returns to http. Currently in the .htaccess is the following which is done automatically by the software I am using and I suppose needs to be there for it to work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* ./index.php
Any ideas on how I can achieve dream control all these things?
Thanks in advance!
===================
#Gumbo Following your advice this is my complete .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
# remove www from host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s/%1 ^(on(s)|offs)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ http%2://%3%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# force HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule ^(login)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# force HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule !^(login)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* ./index.php
Options -Indexes
Navigating to http://example/login still goes to http://example/index.php when it should go to https://example/login Do I have the order wrong?
Try these rules:
# remove www from host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s/%1 ^(on(s)|offs)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ http%2://%3%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# force HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule ^(login|foo|bar|…)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# force HTTP
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule !^(login|foo|bar|…)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
You also might want to add some additional conditions to only change the protocol on GET and HEAD requests but not on POST requests.
This code works for me:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
remove www (tested):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
redirect (not tested):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/login/?.*\ HTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://yoursite.com/login [L,R=301]
After reading this all post time line i have get success for following error: My website(c4dprime.com) was attached https: in mozilla firefox browser.
