htaccess url rewriting and and https - .htaccess

I have a website that was previously set for an http address on a server.
Now I changed the server and the website is supposed to be https.
So I decided to make changes in the .htaccess file but it doesn't work (500 error, the webpage doesn't appear)
Here is my htaccess file content :
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
#allow to add "www." if missing
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mywebsite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://www.mywebsite.com/$1 [L,R,NE]
php_flag "allow_url_fopen" "On"
# URL rewrites
RewriteRule ^home$ /index.php?content=home&lang=en [L]
RewriteRule ^home-notice-1$ /index.php?content=home&val=1&lang=en [L]
RewriteRule ^home-notice-2$ /index.php?content=home&val=2&lang=en [L]
RewriteRule ^home-notice-3$ /index.php?content=home&val=3&lang=en [L]
RewriteRule ^featured-news$ /index.php?content=news&mode=featured&lang=en [L]
etc...
Can someone tell me what's wrong ?
Basically, all I changed compared to before is that I added "RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off" and changed "RewriteRule ^/?(.) http:..." to "RewriteRule ^/?(.) https:...".
And, of course "mywebsite.com" is a placeholder for the real name of my website, which I obviously typed correctly.
Here is what seems to be the structure from the ftp client point of view :
from root to index.php:
->rb4t7.ftp.mywebhost.com
->sites (folder)
->mywebsite.com (folder)
.htaccess (file)
index.php (file)
...
Thank you

Ok, all I had to do is just copy/paste the part below "#URL Rewrites". Everything else was messing up with the system apparently. The https was natively taken care of somehow.
Thanks

.html files not accessible in Magento when added to root folder

I'm running a Magento site and needed to upload a google site ownership confirmation file to the root. When I did this, html file was not accessible via url when typed as follows www.website.com/google0564e497cc4446t6.html instead I got a 404 page. Other file formats work just fine. I concluded that there must be a .htaccess redirect.
This is the .htaccess content:
## enable rewrites
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
## RewriteRule ^(.)ItemDesc.asp?IC=(.)$ $1$2 [L]
## RewriteRule ^supply-items/$ ItemDesc.asp?IC= [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /ItemDesc.asp?IC=$1 [L]
##RewriteRule ^ItemDesc.asp?IC=$ supply-items/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule test_rewrite\.html http://www.website.com/rewrite_successful.html [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|
RewriteRule ^ http%1://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
As it turns out the previous website redirects are very important for maintaining of SEO, so I cannot just remove them. However, is there a way to make an exception to specific .html files such as www.website.com/google0564e497cc4446t6.html using the .htaccess file?
Thank you!
You can modify the first part of your rule and add a condition to skip the google file.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/google(.*)\.html$
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /ItemDesc.asp?IC=$1 [L]

Redirect url with .htaccess

I m sure that many people will say that this is duplicated but I try everything from other "Question"`s and nothings work for me.
The problem is that I move my project to the web server.
In this server I have folder "public_html" where I but my project Symfony.
Now to enter on my project I must write the following url: www.mydomain.com/Symfony/web/*
But I want to write a Rewrite Rule which will redirect from www.mydomain.com/Symfony/web/* to
www.mydomain.com/home/*.
To do this I try on 2 different ways with many combination of ReWrite rule.
In my public_html I create a .htaccess folder
I edit the .htaccess in Symfony/web folder
I add the following rule in both file but without success
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^Symfony/web/(.*)$ www.mydomain.com/home/$1 [L,R=301]
Unfortunately without success. What I`m doing wrong?
My htaccess file look like
And all the time Error 404 Object not found
Symfony/web/.htaccess
DirectoryIndex app.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Symfony/web/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+Symfony/web/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ $1 [L,NC]
</IfModule>
It`s redirecting me but I receive again Object not found :(
I delete the .htaccess in public_html folder which is the root one for my server
public_html\.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /Symfony/web/$1 [L,NC]
1: Place this code in /Symfony/web/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Symfony/web/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+Symfony/web/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [L]
2: Place this code in /public_html/.htaccess:
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /Symfony/web/$1 [L,NC]
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your rule is backwards. I think you want your URL to be www.mydomain.com/home/* in the browser... In which case the rule would be reversed. Also, your .htaccess should be in the root and you don't need to include the domain in the rewrite rule because you set a rewrite base.
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ Symfony/web/$1 [L,R=301]

Hidden redirect of / to subfolder using .htaccess in TYPO3

We're setting up a TYPO3 installation, and if the user calls example.com/ we'd like the server to redirect to /typo/index.php?id=106.
This should happen without a change in the address bar. Every other file access on the server (for example example.com/test.png) should be redirected to example.com/typo/test.png).
This is the .htaccess file in the root directory. As I understand, it will redirect everything which doesn't have /typo in the URL to the subfolder and attach the parameters:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/typo/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ typo/$1 [L]
Now, this already seems to work, when I call example.com/index.php?id=106 I'm not getting a 404. Unfortunately TYPO3 seems to have some trouble (or the .htaccess configuration isn't correct), because we get a message saying "No input file specified".
What's also missing is the initial redirect when no path is specified. It should then go to /typo/index.php?id=106.
You may try this in one .htaccess file in root directory:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# URL with no path
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule .* /typo/index.php?id=106 [NC,L]
# URL with path
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/typo [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) /typo/$1 [NC,L]
Maps silently:
http://domain.com/ to
http://domain.com/typo/index.php?id=106
and
http://domain.com/anything
http://domain.com/typo/anything
For permanent redirection, replace [NC,L] with [R=301,NC,L]

htaccess subdomain rewrite keep www

I've set up wildcard domains locally for testing on .dev
I'm trying to rewrite the following URL:
http://location.domain.dev/
to
http://www.domain.dev/site/location
I would like any requests with www in the subdomain to always go to www.domain.dev but if any request is made to location.domain.dev, I would like to keep that request in the address bar (i.e i dont want people to see the underlying change)
I currently have the following in my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.dev
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.dev/site/%1 [QSA,NC]
# Removes index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Is this even possible?
You're pretty close. In order to not redirect the browser (causing the address bar to change) you need to get rid of the http://domain.dev part of the rewrite rule's target:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/%1/$1 [QSA,NC]
assuming that both *.domain.dev and www.domain.dev have the same document root. If they're different, you may have to enable mod_proxy and add a P flag so that the request gets proxied instead of redirecting the browser:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.dev/site/%1/$1 [QSA,NC,P]

Expression Engine remove index.php using .htaccess not working

My client has a godaddy Virtual Dedicated Server (yes I know it sucks).... It has WHM VPS Optimized running on it .
I am trying to remove the index.php from the urls but my server still displays 404 errors I have looked at every forum in the universe and cant get an htaccess file that works. Here is what expression engine tells you to put use...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/index\.php|/img|/js|/css|/robots\.txt|/favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I know diddly about Apache.. please help kind sirs...
Test if the htaccess is working:
# Redirect domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/google\.com" [R=301,L]
Or
# Remove the www from the URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Ensure you actually have content appearing when you enter /index.php :P
Once you know your htaccess is working try "$1" instead of "%{REQUEST_URI}":
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(img|admin\.php|themes|robots\.txt|index\.php|sitemap\.xml|/favicon\.ico) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Also try "/index.php?/$1" instead of "/index.php/$1"
Ensure you have set EE (Admin->General Configuration) so "Name of your site's index page" is blank.
Remember that once you do get EE to work without the index.php appearing, it can be used both ways (with and without), which is bad for SEO, so remove it like so (place before the above rewrite :)
# Redirect index.php Requests (prevent site showing index.php in browser address bar)
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,L]
