I want to redirect all type of links like that :
www.sitename.com/link1-XXX.html
to
www.sitename.com/link1-XXX/
I don't want to redirect all .html links. I want to redirect all html links which end with XXX.
Solution :
RewriteRule ^(.*)XXX\.html$ /$XXX/ [R=301,L]
You did not specified the question, just told us what you want to do, not what is your problem...
if your problem is, that you dont know how to redirect only links like you described, then put this in your .htaccess with RewriteEngine on:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)-XXX\.html?$ /$1-XXX/ [L,QSA]
I did not really tested this regex..
It should take anything that end with /"something"-XXX.htm and /"something"-XXX.html and redirect it to subaddr named as "something"-XXX/
if you would need append some GET params to the processed url, you should change the regex so it ends like this:
...html?(.*)$
meaning, there can be anything after htm or html

I have two URL conditions and I wanted to redirect them like this:
https://www.example.com/feeds/4aceXy to https://www.example.com/direct_feed/4aceXy
Now the problem is, I am also using the URL for an older link like this one:
https://wwww.example.com/feeds/5bdb39711b41d479273e678a6f356603d7109ffc.xml
I wanted to avoid redirect with .xml extension here is my current redirect:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
It works fine but I don't want to redirect it with .xml based URL.
My question is - is there a condition that can help me to avoid the rewrite if a parameter contains .xml in regX (.*)?$
You can use a negative lookbehind:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?(?<!\.xml)$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
In the past website was full of pages with different basis. After redisign and with new concept the website consists of only 1 page. So I need to redirect all old pages to /.
Pages for example:
http://domain.com/catalog/index.html?c_id=145
http://domain.com/catalog/?c_id=116
http://domain.com/news/read.html?id=174
and so on.
In htaccess I've made several rules like this:
RewriteRule ^catalog(.*)$ http://domain.com/ [L,R=301]
But this rule don't give a full control, and the result is not satisfactory:
http://domain.com/?c_id=145
How can I get rid of this? I need to redirect all such links to http://domain.com without any additions. I think the {QUERY_STRING} can help, but I don't know how to do this correct.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can add a ? at the end to create a blank query string:
# append "?" here ----v
RewriteRule ^catalog(.*)$ http://domain.com/? [L,R=301]
On Google I have a site that has a bunch of old links to its pages, they are links like this.
/mainpage.cfm?linkId=84&LinkType=mainlink
I want to 301 redirect them with htaccess, but nothing I am trying works.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/architectural
RewriteRule .* /mainpage.cfm?linkId=84&LinkType=mainlink
Any Ideas, I have tried many varients of this, it seems the problem is the .cfm file.
Your question is a bit fuzzy. You say you want to rewrite from /mainpage.cfm?linkId=84&LinkType=mainlink, but then you also have that as the target of your RewriteRule. So I think some wires are crossed somewhere. Can you please update your question to include "I want to rewrite [this current URL example] to [the URL you wish the first one to end up at]". Also any other considerations that might require a RewriteCond, and any variations in the patterns.
Then we can get your rules/conditions sorted out.
To answer your exact question as asked, your RewriteCond will reject /mainpage.cfm?linkId=84&LinkType=mainlink because that does not match ^/architectural.
However I suspect this is not the question you mean to ask...
in mod_rewrite RewriteRule can only see the directory and file part of the URI and not the query string. So to match the query string you need to use RewriteCond.
e.g.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} linkId=(\d+)&LinkType=mainlink [NC]
RewiteRule ^mainpage\.cfm newpage.php?linkid=%1 [NC,L]
I have matched the linkId in the RewriteCond which I then refer to by %1 in the RewriteRule as this is the syntax for matching groups in a RewriteCond.
As #AdamCameron points out you don't state where you want to redirect to, but this should give you the tools to resove it.
You could perform the redirect within the ColdFusion page instead. Just add the following line to the top of the mainpage.cfm file (assuming you want every request of that page redirected). You could add some condition logic if you only want to redirect specific linkId and/or LinkType based on the URL parameter.
Again, if you want every request to the mainpage.cfm to redirect just add this to the top of that file (NOTE you need to change the url for the redirected page):
<cflocation url="http://host/architetural" statusCode="301" addtoken="no">
The statusCode attribute was added in ColdFusion 8 - so you must be running that or newer
I need to redirect a page like this (values could change in query string)
http://www.domain.com/list.php?id=bla&variable2=product1-product2-product3
Redirect to
http://www.domain.com/list.html?id=bla&variable2=product1-product2-product3
All i need is it to change to .html but everything else should remain the same on the bespoke links.
Any help out there?
Is it a bad idea to do the redirection in list.php file instead of using an .htaccess file?
How about something like:
header('Location: http://www.domain.com/list.html?'+$querystring);
in list.php?
Put this in you htaccess, it should be enough.
RewriteRule ^([^.]+).html$ /$1.php [QSA,L]
(And by the way, it's useless to do this...)
I'm a newbie and I'm trying to figure out the proper 301 redirect for the following pages. I hope I'm being clear here :) In my .htaccess file, I want to redirect pages "up" one pages without having to do every page individually.
My original pages looked like the following:
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/?page=1
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/?page=2
....etc. ....up to like /?page=33
and more categories and states, like:
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/?page=1
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/?page=2
...etc. .....again up to like /?page=24
I've since changed the page structure to eliminate the long URLs...like this:
www.doctors.com/skin/california/
www.doctors.com/skin/california/?page=1
www.doctors.com/skin/california/?page=2
etc.....and similarly....
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/?page=1
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/?page=2
etc.
How can I "bulk" redirect the original pages with the long URLs to the newer, shortened version in my .htaccess file? Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Using mod_alias, you can simply add this in the .htaccess file in your document root:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/
But if you need further restrictions on how the redirect works, you can use Apache's mod_rewrite module. Taking a look at the RewriteCond directive, you can impose conditions on a rule and put everything in .htaccess. The main rule will look very similar to mod_alias' RedirectMatch. Example:
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
In both cases, the query string (the page=3 part) is simply appended to the new target. Looking over the different things you can do with RewriteCond, say if you wanted to exclude this rule when requests are made for something like /images/ or /themes/:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/themes/
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
So, if the request doesn't start with /images/ and the request doesn't start with /themes/, then apply the rule. This example would make it so a request for http://host.com/themes/subSilver/magic-icons/ don't get redirected to http://host.com/themes/subSilver/.
