I'm currently fresh out of ideas how to force https rewrite on a subfolder where Wordpress is located.
The Problem is:
Wordpress is located in this directory
www.server.at/berlin-alexanderplatz (cant be moved)
the URL looks like this:
www.server.at/berlin/alexanderplatz
This rule is in place ->
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (\/berlin\/alexanderplatz\/) [NC]
RewriteRule ^berlin\/alexanderplatz(.*)$ berlin-alexanderplatz/$1 [L]
Now I would like to add https for this directory. How can I do this?
The problem is when I use the usual method of rewrite https it leads to a wrong adress because it uses the original folder www.server.at/berlin-alexanderplatz//

I want to redirect https://example.com/sub/index.php to https://sub.example.com/index.php.
As you can tell, the subdomains webspace is in the actual domain webspace; this leads to duplicate content.
I already tried this:
Adding javascript to index.php's head:
<script type='text/javascript'>document.location.href='https://example.com/sub/index.php';</script>
But this creates an infinte loop.
Adding .htaccess to /sub/ directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) https://sub.example.com/index.php$1 [R=301,L]
But this makes it impossible to create other files in /sub/ because it always redirects you to index.php
What would be the best way to solve this if I also want to create other files in /sub/ which always redirect to the subdomain version?
The following placed at the root of your site should redirect anything that hits example.com/sub to sub.example.com.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sub/(.*)$ http://sub.example.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
You can test it at https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ if you need to tweak those rules.
I am really stuck with my .htaccess file, and need some help :). I have a WordPress installation that I am using for testing. It is in a folder and I use .htaccess to get there. This is the rules I use so far:
######### Custom #########
RewriteEngine On
# ignore folders
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/af1wp/"
RewriteRule (.*) $1 [L]
###############
# only for me #
###############
# HOME (Senne Tijdeman)
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^###\.###\.###\.###$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((www.)?([a-z0-9_\-]+).)?alleenf1.nl$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/af1wp/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /af1wp/$1 [L]
This works (with my real IP address of course), so no problem there. But now I want to rewrite exisiting URL's to a new format. The old URL is this:
http://alleenf1.nl/nieuws/QOgbb/raikkonen-alles-is-mogelijk-in-australi
The new URL should be this:
http://alleenf1.nl/raikkonen-alles-is-mogelijk-in-australi
The part I want to remove "nieuws/QOgbb/" is not always the same, so I have to use regex for that. But everything I tried did not work at all.
I thought this would be simple, but apparently not for me unfortunately. Now I have 2 questions.
What is the right RewriteRule to do this?
Where should I put it. In the .htaccess of the root folder, or the af1wp folder where the WordPress install is?
Tnx in advanced
To awnser the questions from poncha below:
Yes, the URL's always start with to folders. Just to clarify (was not clear) the part "nieuws" is always the same, but not the second part (call it an ID).
I prefer a redirect.
The file /raikkonen-alles-is-mogelijk-in-australi is a post in WordPress. That WordPress installation currently resides in the folder af1wp, but will be moved to the root folder when going live.
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^nieuws/([^/]+)/(.*) /af1wp/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
This will only match URLs starting with "nieuws"
For now, the rewrite target is /af1wp/, change it to / when moving the wordpress.
When you move wordpress, you'll need to mix in this rule inside the wordpress rules, as it already has rewrite rules of its own - place this rule above its rules.
The flags used here:
R=301 - redirect with HTTP status 301 (Moved Permanently).
L - last rule (stop rules parsing after successful match of this rule)
QSA - query-string-append (append original query string to the rewritten request).
My very dear Stackoverflow community,
I have the following redirection problem and after several unsuccessful attempts I come here in search of enlightenment. My problem is the following. I have a domain, let's call it 'www.mydomain.com', and my 'public_html' directory has two folders as follows:
public_html
public_html/my_app/
public_html/my_other_app/
First, I would like that when typing the URL 'www.mydomain.com', I get redirected to the contents of folder 'my_app', while keeping the same URL. In fact this I have already accomplished, so whenever I type 'www.mydomain.com' I get redirected to 'www.mydomain.com/index.php', which actually corresponds to the 'public_html/myapp/index.php' script under 'myapp'.
Now I want to have a subdomain called 'other.mydomain.com', which has to redirect to contents of the 'my_other_app' folder, but I do not know how to make .htaccess work for this and at the same time work for the first case also.
So this is basically, the main domain redirects to one folder, and a subdomain redirects to another folder, and both folders are located under the public_html directory
Any hints more than welcome.
For your reference I post below my current .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
# redirect to www prefix
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# if start with www and no https then redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# rewrite URL to trim folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteRule ^$ /login [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ test/$1 [L]
This actually works for my main domain, it also rewrites the url to https. I need to add something in here in order to process separately the 'other.mydomain.com' and redirect to the '/my_other_app/' subfolder
what you need is a vhost (virtual host) per app. In the vhost, you will define the vhosts root directory, which will point to either of your sub directories.
There is IP based vhosts (one IP address per subdomain) or name based vhosts (the vhost is chosen based on the HTTP host header that all modern browser send).
But there is too much to say about vhosts to write it all here, just read the apache documentation here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/
I think with pure .htaccess files, you can't do that (I might be wrong). Normally you would add vhosts in the main apache config. Based on your hosting, this may not be possible. Talk to you hosting provider in that case.

Could someone tell me how to rewrite this URL. I have looked at a lot of questions on stackoverflow but they seem to be missing my answer.
RewriteEngine On
That is what I have... its a bit poor.
I need to rewrite url's if they do not point to a directory.
I need to do this...
any.domain.com/pages/some-page-slug/login
To be rewritten to the correct url of...
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be achieved?
1) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product-12.html
It is a simple redirection in which .php extension is hidden from the browser’s address bar and dynamic url (containing “?” character) is converted into a static URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product-([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$1
2) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product/ipod-nano/12.html
SEO expert always suggest to display the main keyword in the URL. In the following URL rewriting technique you can display the name of the product in URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$2
3) Redirecting non www URL to www URL
If you type yahoo.com in browser it will be redirected to www.yahoo.com. If you want to do same with your website then put the following code to .htaccess file. What is benefit of this kind of redirection?? Please check the post about SEO friendly redirect (301) redirect in php and .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^optimaxwebsolutions\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.optimaxwebsolutions.com/$1 [R=301,L]
4) Rewriting yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz to yoursite.com/xyz
Have you checked zorpia.com.If you type http://zorpia.com/roshanbh233 in browser you can see my profile over there. If you want to do the same kind of redirection i.e http://yoursite.com/xyz to http://yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz then you can add the following code to the .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ user.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ user.php?username=$1
5) Redirecting the domain to a new subfolder of inside public_html.
Suppose the you’ve redeveloped your site and all the new development reside inside the “new” folder of inside root folder.Then the new development of the website can be accessed like “test.com/new”. Now moving these files to the root folder can be a hectic process so you can create the following code inside the .htaccess file and place it under the root folder of the website. In result, www.test.com point out to the files inside “new” folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new/
RewriteRule (.*) /new/$1
TO do this you need to write a front controller.
See here, here, here, and here.
Alternatively in Apache you can rewrite this
any.domain.com/pages/32/login
or this:
any.domain.com/32/login
or even this:
any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login
to this:
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
One way or another to do this with only apache you need to supply the page id in some fashion. Keep in mind even with format any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login the content of the slug is irrelevant and won't necessarily link to the correct page. Which I imagine is undesirable and bad for SEO.
Another alternative is using RewriteMap. But this will be tricky and require reloading apache configurations whenever a page/slug is created/edit.
I understand that pages and login are static in this case and some-page-slug is changing. And you always want to redirect to static page /pages/login.php?page=32
So this is how to do it:
1) Rewrite
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32
or 2) Redirect Pernament
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=301,L]
or 3) Redirect Temporary
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=302,L]

Hey, My host is absolutely terrible. For some odd reason creating a subdomain in cPanel simply does not work, and their support lines are always busy. I thought I could get around this by using .htaccess. I'm sure it's not that hard, but I'm kind of new to mod_rewrite and have had little success searching in the last 5 hours. Heres the situation:
/home/user/public_html automatically redirects to http://www.example.com
Since I'm using a CMS in public_html it has already added the rule in .htaccess to redirect anything unfamiliar after example.com/ to a 'Page Not Found'
/home/user/subdomain needs to redirect to http://subdomain.example.com
How should I go about creating a subdomain redirection to an absolute path? Or How can I add an exception in my .htaccess
I doubt you'll be able to get your subdomain to function outside of your public_html folder (although I'm no server admin). Typically that requires DNS modifications or tweaking the server's configuration. Have you tried making a sub-directory and rewriting calls to the subdomain? For example this placed in the .htaccess within your public_html directory:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) /subdomain/$1 [L]
I'm not sure if that would work (never needed to test it myself), but it's more likely to function than trying to target files that live outside the directory specified by the webhost as the location of your domain's files.
Good luck!
Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/home/user/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^ /home/user/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
But your webserver already needs to be configured so that every request of foobar.example.com gets redirected to this specific virtual host.
