I'm facing some issue with a processwire 3.0.123 installation.
The admin works fine and I can edit and change stuff and view the root page of my Project. Whenver I try to visit any other site than / or /admin though, apache throws a 404.
I guess this has to do something with my htaccess, but I'm using the standard one which comes bundled with processwire and I've never had any issues with this when running it on a vagrant machine.
Right now I'm running it on my local machine on a local lamp stack with mod_rewrite enabled. The htaccess bundled with processwire features an option to rewrite certain urls in case of problems, I also tried these, to no avail though.
Below I have attached my htaccess, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the support so far. I found the culprit; it was myself. Turns out I should've created a template file to go with the template I selected in the backend. Once I did that, everything worked. Thanks for the support, nonetheless.

There are many similar questions here, but none seem to be exactly the same, and something is tripping me up.
I have one specific internal URL, mydomain.com/a-directory, that I want to forward to the external URL https://mailchi.mp/mydomain.com/a-directory , while still keeping the browser's shown URL as mydomain.com/a-directory.
I have tried:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com/a-directory$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://mailchi.mp/mydomain.com/a-directory [P]
</IfModule>
And also:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^a-directory$ https://mailchi.mp/mydomain.com/a-directory [P]
</IfModule>
Apache mod_proxy is installed.
Edit: Both seem to be mostly ignored, as no forwarding is happening, and it's not crashing. The browser is just saying that the page can't be found, as www.httpmydomain.dom/a-directory doesn't exist.
Edit:
The .htaccess file contains the following.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com/a-directory$
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://mailchi.mp/example.com/a-directory [P]
I have modified it to: RewriteCond ^https://www\.example\.com/a-directory$
Whilst the code is in the correct place (although it is before the HTTP to HTTPS redirect, so you might be trying to proxy an HTTP request), you are not using the correct directives (although the 2nd code block in your question is correct, providing the two domains point to different servers).
Neither of the above two conditions (RewriteCond directives) make much sense. The 2nd condition above is syntactically invalid as you are missing the first (or second?) argument.
The HTTP_HOST server variable contains the value of the Host HTTP request header. eg. If you request http://example.com/a-directory then HTTP_HOST contains example.com. However, if you request http://www.example.com/a-directory then HTTP_HOST will contain www.example.com.
So, if you are requesting http://example.com/a-directory then the directive you should be using is as per your second code block:
RewriteRule ^a-directory$ https://mailchi.mp/example.com/a-directory [P]
If you specifically need to check the requested host then:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^a-directory$ https://mailchi.mp/example.com/a-directory [P]
However, assuming the target server allows you to proxy requests via this URL (they could block you) then you may still need additional directives in your server config / virtualhost to correctly configure the reverse proxy. Notably the ProxyPassReverse directive. Without this, if the target server issued an HTTP redirect then the user would be redirected away from your domain (example.com).
I have a Drupal 7 website with several 301 redirects, however we've recently noticed an odd issue... When typing the url into your browser, it will not work if you include www.
www.example.com/something redirects to https://www.example.com/index.php
Using https://wheregoes.com/retracer.php the results for the above are:
http://www.example.com/something
301 Redirect -> http://www.example.com/here/something
301 Redirect -> https://www.example.com/index.php
example.com/someting will redirect correctly to https://www.example.com/here/something
Using https://wheregoes.com/retracer.php the results for the above are:
http://example.com/something
301 Redirect -> https://www.example.com/something
301 Redirect -> https://www.example.com/here/something
https://www.example.com/here/something is the expected endpoint.
From digging in my htaccess the issue appears to be with the standard Drupal 7 RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] line; however if I remove this I cannot log into the admin area.
Any thoughts on how this can be resolved? The SSL is only installed on www.example.com, so we need to redirect users to www.example.com and apply the SSL there. example.com has no SSL and unfortunately we cannot control this.

The problem you are probably having is that your 301 redirects are happening after your internal routing to the index.php page. Additionally, you're using the Redirect directive, which is mod_alias and not part of mod_rewrite. This means the same request gets processed twice, once by mod_alias and once by mod_rewrite. This is making it so an internal rewrite (to index.php) ends up getting redirected because mod_alias marked the request for a 301.
Remove these lines from the bottom of your .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /examplelink.php /example-link
Redirect 301 /someoldlink.php /new/location
Redirect 301 /something /here/something

is getting processed before this rule:
# Force pages to be served securely
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Thus your URI is getting rewritten to index.php, then the rewrite engine loops (as it should) and reaches this last rule and then redirects the URI (which is now index.php).
You need to put the redirect to https rule at the very top of your rules (just below RewriteEngine On).
I have two top-level domains pointing to my Drupal installation, abc.com and xyz.com.
I'd like to force all pages to use abc.com, EXCEPT for one page (node), which should always use xyz.com.
I've tried a bunch of different .htaccess, none seem to work. This is the closest I've gotten:
# Redirect abc.com/path/to/my/page to xyz.com/path/to/my/page
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?abc\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^path/to/my/page$ http://www.xyz.com$1 [R,L,NC]
# Redirect xyz.com to www.abc.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?xyz\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.abc.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
The above works for the whole site redirect, but when you go to abc.com/path/to/my/page it redirects to the main page, abc.com. I also tried this:
# Redirect abc.com/path/to/my/page to xyz.com/path/to/my/page
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?abc\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^path/to/my/page$ http://www.xyz.com/path/to/my/page [R,L,NC]
But that just gave me an error about too many redirects to xyz.com/path/to/my/page.
Any ideas? I'm not sure if my .htaccess code is wrong, or if it has to do with Drupal's clean URL functions, or what.
Here's the full Drupal .htaccess file:

Your code generates a loop. abc.com/path/to/my/page redirect to xyz.com/path/to/my/page, but all xyz urls are redirect to abc.com, so it would redirect back to abc.com/path/to/my/page, over and over again.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?abc\.com$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?xyz\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.abc.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
The rule in your first code was incorrect, redirecting abc.com/path/to/my/page to abc.com/ (and that didn't create a loop).
RewriteRule ^path/to/my/page$ http://www.xyz.com$1 [R,L,NC]
This was because $1 reference to the first pair of parentheses, but you didn't have any. Secondly you needed to add a / before it, or it would redirect to xyz.compath/to/my/page
If this "page" is a file, then you might need to do it this way. I used this to keep all Drupal files served from the original server, then forward all non-file traffic to the new site.
