I have a website with several URLs like these:
domain.com/aff_link.php?id=363
and I need to redirect all of them to a subfolder called "old"
like this:
domain.com/old/aff_link.php?id=363
those numbers at the end go from 2 up to 4 digits.
How can I do this in htaccess?
Currently I have this code
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)(id)=[^&]+ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/.*)?$ http://domain.com/old? [R=301,L,NC]
but that redirects everthing to domain.com/old/
so as you can see I do not know what I am doing, please help.
Thank you in advance.
This should be pretty close ...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (aff_link.php) old/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Watch out for leading slashes depending on whether this is in a VirtualHost or Directory or .htaccess block.

I have searched but cannot find a specific answer for this exact redirect style...
I have this structure of URL with this specific parameter:
https://websitename.com/directory/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
I want it redirected to:
https://websitename.com/shopping-cart/
Note that the above mentioned "directory" changes, but the index.php with the parameters stay the same. No matter what the directory is, I always want it to go to the same exact redirect.
I cannot seem to get the right redirect working in htaccess. Can anyone help?
You can use this redirect rule as your first rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(?:index\.php)?\?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /shopping-cart/? [L,R=308]
# remaining rules go below this
You can use a set like this. It takes care on the param view=cart
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)view=cart
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shopping-cart/? [L,NC,R=301]
If you want to keep the querystring params, then change
/shopping-cart/?
to
/shopping-cart/
without questionmark
I know how to use .htaccess to forward everything in one domain to a new domain name. But in this case, I want everything from one domain to go to a specific .html page on a different domain. That's where I'm lost. I'm trying the following but it just redirects to a folder and the page in question is in that folder but obviously, I don't want people seeing the contents of that folder. Make any sense? So example.com needs to go to yyy.com/some-page.html
This is what I'm currently using:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.1.yyy.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Try:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html [R,L]
You can also put a blank index.html page to the directory in question to mask its contents or
you can put index.php file with this code <? header ("location: http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html"); ?> that will redirect a user to the desired page.
$1 is a place holder for the 1st pattern match. So if you are rewriting domaina.com/someurl/, it is attempting to load domainb.com/someurl/. Swap the $1 with the actual page --- e.g. somepage.html and it should work. But unless both of these domains are pointing to the same files/directories, the rule seems a bit overcomplicated.
So how about just a simple redirect?
Try this in your .htaccess file.
redirect 301 / http://somesite.com/somepage.html
OR you can try this.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://somesite.com/somepage.html [R=301,L]
It does work and you can test my RewriteRule below.
http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
There must be something else going on.
----EDIT---
I have just realized that my explanation of the problem was missing an important piece of information.
The URL's should only be redirected if second parameter is present.
So the rule should read:
Redirect any URL that has /d/ in it, ONLY if /d2/ is also found in the URL.
----End Edit__
I have the need to 301 redirect all URL's on a site that contain a specific parameter to the same URL, but with an additional directory included. All of the URL's that require redirection contain a certain directory: /d/ Example:
http://www.mysite.com/category1/d/subcategory1/subdirectory2/
--Should Redirect to --
http://www.mysite.com/newdirectory/category1/d/subcategory1/subdirectory2/
The one thing in common with any of the URLs' requiring redirection is that they all contain a directory /d/ in the URL, which always immediately follows the "category" directory as indicated in bold in sample URL's above. I would then like to insert an additional directory in front of the category directory as indicated in bold in the sample URL's above. The rest of the URL will remain the same.
Can anyone help with this? I'm relatively new to mod_rewrite and realize I can make a big mess if I don't get it right.
Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer hlep
:)
Try this (edited to reflect change in question):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/d/.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/d2/.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/newdirectory/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/d/(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/newdirectory/$1/d/$2 [R=301,L]
Try adding the following to your htaccess file in the root directory of your site.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#if the url contains a /d2/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /d2/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([-a-zA-Z0-9]+/d/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+/[-a-zA-Z0-9]+/)$ /newdirectory/$1 [L,R,NC]
I have this url
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?page_id=61
and i want to redirect to the root like this
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
here is my htaccess
RewriteEngine on
redirect 301 /?page_id=61/ http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
but nothing is happening...any ideas
Also I was wondering if there is a way also in .htaccess to delete a duplicate /about ...so for example if the url is
http://somesite.com/about/about
it will rewrite the rule to always be
http://somesite.com/about
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page_id=61$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_URI) ^/about/about[/]?
RewriteRule (.*) http://somesite.com/about? [R=301,L]
should do it.
I don't know the exact answer off the top of my head as I don't work directly with apache that much any longer, but I think you need to look into apache's mod_rewrite module. Try taking a look at:
Apache's mod_rewrite documentation
This post about blocking certain URLS
Hi i would like ask you about .htacess 301 redirect:
I have many dynamic urls with paths for example like this:
http://www.domain.com/post1.html
http://www.domain.com/post2.html
and i need to redirect it to the same url but with little bit different domain (without WWW):
http://domain.com/post1.html
http://domain.com/post2.html
I have done like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect works, but my normal urls becomes urls with ID's like:
http://domain.com/index.php?id=931
not like it should be:
http://domain.com/post1.html
Any ideas or helo are appreciated.
Thank you.
You have some other rewrite rules happening here obviously, but with what you've given us, you could try adding this before your rules in order to get it to stop processing an URL which has been rewritten as such:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=[0-9]+
RewriteRule ^index.php - [L]
