I am trying to write a rule where the redirection would occur ONLY if the URL is called without any parameters, so for example this WOULD redirect:
domain.com/a/b/
but this WOULD NOT and it would go through just fine, loading this specific URL:
domain.com/a/b?x
So how do I write a RedirectMatch in that scenario?
You cannot match query string in RedirectMatch directive.
You should use mod_rewrite rules for this as this one:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^a/b/?$ /target [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ condition returns true if query string is empty.

I'm trying to redirect any of these formats
mydomain.com/?main_page=products_new
mydomain.com/?main_page=products_new&page=2
mydomain.com/?main_page=products_new&disp_order=2
to this
mydomain.com/new-products
I have this working for only the first parameter. How can I ignore the remaining ones and match on anything that contains ?main_page-products_new ?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=products_new [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /new-products? [L,R=301]
Apache supports RedirectMatch
RedirectMatch 301 ^main_page=products_new.*$ /new-products?$1
I want to redirect this type url to my home page
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?showuser=
to
http://www.mywebsite.com/
Can I do this with .htaccess? How to do it. I tried this but works nothing.
redirectMatch 301 /index.php?showuser= http://www.mywebsite.com
And
RedirectMatch 301 /index.php\?showuser\= http://www.mywebsite.com
You can't match against the query string in the RedirectMatch regex. You need to use mod_rewrite and the %{QUERY_STRING} variable:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showuser=
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /? [L,R=301]
Neither Redirect or RedirectMatch can match the query string. The ? in RedirectMatch actually means "the previous character 0 or 1 times", and would be matched against "index.php". Please note that you are not using the dot correctly too.
You can solve this by using mod_rewrite. Make sure that it is enabled, and that you allow override of FileInfo. Then use the following directives:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showuser=$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ / [R,L]
Change [R] to [R=301] if you wish to make the redirect permanent after testing everything works as expected.
i would like to make a 301 redirect and from an old website using the exact exact url with no extra parameters.
example:
/en-direct.php?page=7
to go to:
http://www.example.org/news/
and page:
/en-direct.php?page=8
to go to:
http://www.example.org/awesome-but-totally-different-page/
i used:
redirectMatch 301 ^/en-direct.php$ http://www.example.org/different-page/
redirectMatch 301 ^/en-direct.php?page=7$ http://www.example.org/news/
redirectMatch 301 ^/en-direct.php?page=8$ http://www.example.org/awesome-but-totally-different-page/
however: i get http://www.example.org/different-page/ every time with all the parameters from the redirect page (example - http://www.example.org/different-page?page=7 )
any help will be much appreciated.
In order to match against the query string, you need to use mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=7($|&)
RewriteRule ^en-direct\.php$ http://www.example.org/news/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=8($|&)
RewriteRule ^en-direct\.php$ http://www.example.org/awesome-but-totally-different-page/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^en-direct\.php$ http://www.example.org/different-page/ [L,R=301]
I have tried several examples of how to do this but nothing is working and I fear it is because the query string is part of the base URL.
Here is what I would like to do:
Redirect http://example.com/?from=TEST_1 -> http://example.com/foo
Redirect http://example.com/?from=TEST_2 -> http://example.com/bar
Here is what I have tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} from=TEST_1
RewriteRule (.*) /foo [L,R=301]
Unfortunately the above rule has no impact. If I change the rule to something static (see below) it works great:
Redirect 301 /foo /bar
Is there something special I need to do in order to check the query string value when it's part of the root domain request?
Try these 2 rules as your very first rules just below RewriteEngine line.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^from=TEST_1$
RewriteRule ^/?$ /foo? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^from=TEST_2$
RewriteRule ^/?$ /bar? [L,R=301]
? at the end of target URI is used to discard previous query string from target.
^/?$ is the regex to match landing page only.
I want to 301 redirect from
domain.com/?test-article.php
to
domain.com/full-article/test-article.php
Here is my code what i am trying to use and its not working.
redirect 301 /?test-article.php http://domain.com/full-article/test-article.php
or
rewriteRule /?test-article.php http://domain.com/full-article/test-article.php [R=301,L]
if i use without '?' then it re-directs from
/test-article.php
to
http://domain.com/full-article/test-article.php
So something has to do with '?'
You can't match against the query string using a pattern of a Redirect or RewriteRule. You need to use the %{QUERY_STRING} variable and mod_rewrite:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^test-article$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://domain.com/full-article/test-article.php [R=301,L]
