How to domain redirect with URL content? - .htaccess

I recently moved my blog to separate domain, so I'm trying to define the URL redirect to my blog in my former site.
What I want to do is http://sub.exmple.com/blog/{any page} should redirect to http://www.new-blogdomain.com/{old page url}
The code I'm trying is:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.exmple.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new-blogdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The above code works if I go to sub.exmple.com/{any page} and goes to http://www.new-blogdomain.com/{old page} but this RULE should apply if my old URL contain blog keyword http://sub.exmple.com/blog/ .

Try:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.exmple\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^\/?blog\/(.*)$ http://www.new-blogdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
instead of ^\/?blog\/(.*)$, you can try either ^blog\/(.*)$ or ^\/blog\/(.*)$, depending on server configuration

Try below rule,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ http://www.new-blogdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

htaccess redirect subdomain to directory

I need help to write proper rewrite rules in my htaccess files.
I need to redirect something like fr.example.com to example.com/fr, because we recently changed the whole website and the multilingual system is managed differently. The structure and the pages too.
I managed to do that successfully with this piece of code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
My problem now is to write something more specific for pages, for example :
fr.example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/fr/bar/foo (different path, nothing consistant)
BUT ! example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/bar/foo (end of the url is the same in both english and french)
Right now, since I have some common 301 redirects, the french urls aren't redirect properly and lead to the english pages. For example that one :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/otherfoo
Successfully redirects example.com/discover/foo to example.com/bar/otherfoo but also redirects fr.example.com/discover/otherfoo
How can I write two different rules for english and french? I'll have to write a bunch of different rules since everything is very different from the old subdomain to the new directory, I don't mind.
Thanks !
EDIT
Please note that it's for a wordpress installation, and the htaccess starts with :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
First the these rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
should look like this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
In order to capture bot www & non-www requests for subdomain.
Also this rule :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/foo
Will capture both requests to domain and sub-domains and using mod_rewrite here is correct not mod_alias so , replace this line with :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/bar/foo [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(fr)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/%2/bar/foo [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test.

301 redirect to new domain with same url structure

I have a Magento website that is moving to a new domain. Im looking to 301 redirect all pages from the old domain to the new domain keeping same url structure.
I've updated the .htaccess file on my old domain with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^new-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The issue: The above seems to redirect every instance of: old-domain.com/subdir/whatever only just to the main domain: new-domain.com.
I'd be looking to redirect old-domain.com/subdir/whatever to: new-domain.com/subdir/whatever.
Any idea on what could be wrong?
Adjust your rule to use REQUEST_URI variable which is not dependent on the directory of .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?old-domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://new-domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Better to clear your browser cache before testing this rule.
PS: You need to match hostname condition to old-host not the new-host.
This should redirect and retain the path after the main domain.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old-domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

.htaccess 301 redirect to the same page with no query string

I want to create a condition that if page has parameter in URL like ?print=1 - redirect this page to itself without any querystring.
Example:
I want this page:
http://sos-med.com/en/specific_page.html?print=1&ok=1
tp redirect (301) to the same URL with no Query string:
http://sos-med.com/en/specific_page.html
My code is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^*print=*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}?
I have no test server, so can you tell me if my code is ok?
The code above is for every page on website. And before implementing that rule I would like to try the redirect for one specific page (see my example).
How to modify the code to work with "specific_page.html" only?
I want only .htaccess solution, not PHP code.
You're close, your %{QUERY_STRING} regex isn't right, and you're missing the 301 redirect flag:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^print=.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,R=301]
Try that.
Thanks, and If I want to redirect single specific page: sos-med.com/en/aaa.html?print=1&ok=1 to sos-med.com/en/aaa.html ? –
Then you'd change what the rule matches against:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^print=.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en/aaa.html$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,R=301]
Try this one instead :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?print= [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [L,R=301]

How to forward to new URL including all the variables?

I have been providing my subdomain name to friend until he manages to get new domain.
Now he has it and I would like to 301 redirect all the old links to his domain:
Example:
http://subdomain.my-domain.com/post.php?118&tg=602643
Redirect to
http://subdomain.com/post.php?118&tg=602643
So I want to keep up all the variables behind the post.php in the redirect
I am .htaccess newbie - can you please help me with providing the correct Rewrite rule?
Also, If you happen to have any good article about .htaccess and how to manage it, link is really appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT
Here are actual usecases I want to do:
redirect
http://raketa2.tasselhof.com/nastenka.php?115&up=648483
to
http://www.raketa2.cz/nastenka.php?115&up=648483
However, since there is no more subdomain existent on my site, i see the 404 error on my main page as this:
/nastenka.php?115&up=648483 -> Provided 404 Error
I tried:
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/nastenka\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^\d+&tg=\d+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.raketa2.cz/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
But with no good...
SOLVED
Duh! I am really dumb. I just added two new CNAME records to my domain DNS. Should do the trick
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
The QUERY_STRING post.php?118&tg=602643 will be present.
Assuming that there is no post.php on your domain,
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/post\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]
If post.php is present on your domain but, you do not use similar query strings,
Do this:
RewrtiteEngine on
ReWriteBase /
RewriteCond %{Request_URI} ^/post\.php [NC]
RFewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^\d+&tg=\d+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.com/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]

Use htaccess to redirect all traffic from root to specific subdomain page

I have a site that has been up for some time. I had a blog on a subdomain for some time. I have decided to do away with the main site and just support the blog subdomain.
I have a redirect setup for this, but it carries all the extra parameters through to the blog which results in a file not found page appearing. I just want the redirect to go to the index page without parameters.
What I currently have in my .htaccess file is this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/blog\.foo\.org\/index\.php" [R=301,L]
When I get a request to
http://www.foo.org/foo/foo/?module=foo
it redirects to
http://blog.foo.org/foo/foo/index.php?module=foo
I want it to redirect to
http://blog.foo.org/index.php
You have to specify the query in the replacement to override the original:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\.example\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://blog.example.org/index.php? [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?foo\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://blog.foo.org/ [R=301,L]
