I want to redirect
https://example.com/webrtcchat/[anyString]/[AnySTring]
->
https://example.com/chat/[anyString]/586c4a7251c2a
ex:
https://example.com/chat/54554/77d4d7d7 ->
https://example.com/webrtcchat/54554/77d4d7d7
I tried that with no success:
RewriteRule ^chat(.*)$ webrtcchat$1 [R=301,L]
This rules gives me bad result (inserts some /var/www)
https://example.com/var/www/example.com/webrtcchat/
Any idea ?

I'm pulling my hair out trying to get a .htaccess rewrite rule to work. I'm sure this should be easy but I just can't get it right!
I need to add ?query=string to a specific URL pattern so:
www.example.com/downloads/file
Becomes:
www.example.com/downloads/file?query=string
The best I can come up with is:
RewriteRule ^downloads/(.*) downloads/$1?query=string
But it's not working. Where am I going wrong?
What you have looks OK, except you might need to include the L flag to prevent further rewritting:
RewriteRule ^downloads/(.*) downloads/$1?query=string [L]
And if this is intended to be an external redirect then you'll need to make the substitution absolute or root-relative and include the R flag:
RewriteRule ^downloads/(.*) /downloads/$1?query=string [R=302,L]
With the following url http://www.example.com/de/here/ I want to remove the "de" directory (or whatever may be in front of the "here" directory, if anything even is in front of it) so a user is directed to http://www.example.com/here/ instead, which is a directory that does actually exist.
The url could even be something like http://www.example.com/it/here/ or any other combination of 2 letters.
The url could also just be http://www.example.com/here/ in which case I don't want anything removed at all.
I have searched for a solution here but cant seem to make anything work correctly so any help would be much appreciated.
You can use this kind of htaccess :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z]{2}/(.*)$ $1 [L,R=301]
Example of redirections caused by this code :
http://www.example.com/de/foo/ => http://www.example.com/foo/
http://www.example.com/de/ => http://www.example.com/
http://www.example.com/it/bar/ => http://www.example.com/bar/
http://www.example.com/FR/baz/ => http://www.example.com/baz/
Please note you won't be able to access the language (de, it, fr...) anymore.
Another point, be careful with this kind of url (the redirection will be executed twice) :
http://www.example.com/de/go/ => http://www.example.com/go/
http://www.example.com/go/ => http://www.example.com/
EDIT
Now I've got more details, here is an htaccess you can you to remove the language for specified folders :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z]{2}/here/(.*)$ here/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z]{2}/anotherfolder/(.*)$ anotherfolder/$1 [L,R=301]
I would really appreciate anyone's help with a mod_rewrite question. I don't know regex and am not familiar with .htaccess directives, so I can't think of how to solve the problem I am having.
Below is a description of what I am trying to accomplish...
3 websites:
http://www.example.com/ or http://example.com/
http://east.example.com/
http://west.example.com/
Have pages on main site that need to be redirected to other sites:
http://www.example.com/location1
http://www.example.com/location2
http://www.example.com/location3
http://www.example.com/location4
http://www.example.com/location5
http://www.example.com/location6
Need to redirect some pages to one website based on location, e.g http://east.example.com/:
http://www.example.com/location1 redirect to http://east.example.com/location1
http://www.example.com/location2 redirect to http://east.example.com/location2
http://www.example.com/location3 redirect to http://east.example.com/location3
(also without www) e.g.
http://example.com/location1 redirect to http://east.example.com/location1
Need to redirect some pages to another website based on location, e.g http://west.example.com/:
http://www.example.com/location4 redirect to http://west.example.com/location4
http://www.example.com/location5 redirect to http://west.example.com/location5
http://www.example.com/location6 redirect to http://west.example.com/location6
(also without www) e.g.
http://example.com/location4 redirect to http://west.example.com/location4
Want a rewrite rule that works like:
If domain name is www.example.com or domain name is example.com
And domain name is not east.example.com
And domain name is not west.example.com
And "somelocation" (in the east) is in the URL
Then Rewrite(Redirect) URL to http://east.example.com/.../somelocation/.../somepage
NOTE: the three websites actually share the same codebase, so the URLs all point to the same location/.htaccess file. So, I tried using a basic redirect, and ended up with an error that said... can't open page because of too many redirects.
If anyone knows the answer and can help with this, I would really appreciate the help!
EDIT: Example of expected results
Original URL:
"http://www.example.com/locations/eastend-web-page"
Rewritten URL:
"http://east.example.com/locations/eastend-web-page"
Please try to fill a rewritemap file (see here) to make a correspondance with the URLs that are part of your "east" domain. You may declare it like this:
RewriteMap mapmaintoeast \
dbm:/web/htdocs/yoursite/rewriterules/mapmaintoeast.map
Regarding your sample, your map file may be filled with things like:
eastlocation1 mainlocation1
eastlocation2 mainlocation2
eastlocation3 mainlocation3
...
I've called them 'east' and 'main' to distinguish clearly. These examples are supposed to be URLs.
Do the same for west:
RewriteMap mapmaintowest \
dbm:/web/htdocs/yoursite/rewriterules/mapmaintowest.map
In that file:
westlocation1 mainlocation4
westlocation2 mainlocation5
westlocation3 mainlocation6
...
Then here you go for the hard part:
# This cond put any non-empty string into "%1" (= parenthesis + first cond):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
# The following rule doesn't touch the URL, but
# will try to search into the map file and
# create fill an environment variable called MAINTOEAST with the
# string found and if not found, assign MAINTOEAST to "notfound"
RewriteRule . - [QSA,E=MAINTOEAST:${mapmaintoeast:%1|notfound}]
# if MAINTOEAST not empty and different from "notfound":
RewriteCond %{ENV:MAINTOEAST} !^$
RewriteCond %{ENV:MAINTOEAST} !(notfound)
# ok found => redirect to east:
RewriteRule (.*) http://east.example.com$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
# Now do the same with west (no comments needed (see previous)):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule . - [QSA,E=MAINTOWEST:${mapmaintowest:%1|notfound}]
RewriteCond %{ENV:MAINTOWEST} !^$
RewriteCond %{ENV:MAINTOWEST} !(notfound)
RewriteRule (.*) http://west.example.com$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
This should work.
I hope I've given you enough clues to finish the job ;)
If you don't have enough clues...
Two hints:
Please try to use the RewriteLog directive: it helps you to track down such problems:
# Trace:
# (!) file gets big quickly, remove in prod environments:
RewriteLog "/web/logs/mywebsite.rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine On
My favorite tool to check for regexp:
http://www.quanetic.com/Regex (don't forget to choose ereg(POSIX) instead of preg(PCRE)!)
RewriteEngine On
# If domain name is www.example.com or domain name is example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example.com$ [NC]
# And "somelocation" (in the east) is in the URL,
# Then Rewrite(Redirect) URL to http://east.example.com/.../somelocation/.../somepage
RewriteRule ^(.*somelocation.*)$ http://east.example.com/$1 [R,L]
You'd need to do the same thing for west. Note that if the domain name is www.example.com or example.com, it cannot be east.example.com or west.example.com
I have the following URLs:
www.mydomain.com/client
www.mydomain.com/client/index.php
www.mydomain.com/client/index.php?a=b
www.mydomain.com/client/index.php?a=b&b=c
The following two htaccess files exist:
www.mydomain.com/.htaccess
www.mydomain.com/client/.htaccess
I want to edit "www.mydomain.com/client/.htaccess" so that if you go to www.mydomain.com/client, that it redirects the user to mydomain.com/client/clientarea.php. In other words, 1 and 2 must redirect to mydomain.com/client/clientarea.php, but 3 and 4 must not.
How do I do that?
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^client$ /clientarea.php [L]
RewriteRule ^client/index.php$ /clientarea.php [L]
htaccess files are parsed in the order they're discovered, so the top level one (mydomain.com/.htaccess) will be parsed and executed before Apache even considers looking down in the .../client sub-directory. As such, you'd have to modify your rewrite rule to check if the request contains a subdirectory, and NOT process it if one's found.
I'm new to url rewriting and having a problem i can't figure out.
I got this 2 conditions:
RewriteRule ([^/]+).php index.php?com=cat&catname=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)/([^/]+).php index.php?com=detail&catname=$1prodname=$2 [L]
and need 2 urls like this:
website.com/category-name.php
website.com/category-name/product-name.php
It seems that the first condition rules upon the second... i mean: if i call the first url everything works fine, but when i call the second url i can't get variables as i want ("com" is always "cat" and "catname" get the value of $2)
Thanks in advance!
URLs that match the second rule will also match the first rule. As the first rule is marked "L", the second rule will never be applied.
Maybe you should match absolute URLs - begin the regex with ^/ to match the beginning of a URL, and end it with $ to match the end of the URL. Remember that rewrite rules are applied to the URL path (everything that follows website.com, including the slash).
For example (didn't test this of course):
# Example: website.com/books.php -> website.com/index.php?com=cat&catname=books
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+).php$ /index.php?com=cat&catname=$1 [L]
# Example: website.com/books/java.php -> website.com/index.php?com=detail&catname=books&prodname=java
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+).php$ /index.php?com=detail&catname=$1prodname=$2 [L]
