I want to change an url-alias via htaccess.
Here is one example, how one url should be changed:
original url:
www.domain.de/immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete
future url:
www.domain.de/immobilien-leipzig/mieten
Is it possible only to change the url-alias?
The discussion reveals that you are looking for a combination of an external and an internal rewriting:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete(.*)$ /immobilien-leipzig/mieten$1 [R=301,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?immobilien-leipzig/mieten(.*)$ /immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete$1 [END,QSA]
This will change the visible URL in the broser from immobilien-vermarktungsart to immobilien-leipzig, but internally still deliver the contents of immobilien-vermarktungsart.

I have a url which is
www.domain.com/index.php?route=ticketsystem/generatetickets
I want people who type in the url www.domain.com/contact to be redirected to the page index.php?route=ticketsystem/generatetickets however have the url bar still show /contact is that possible via htaccess and if so how? I tried the below
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule contact /index.php?route=ticketsystem/generatetickets [L,QSA]
For your shown attempts, please try following .htaccess rules file. Make sure your index.php and .htaccess files are present in same directory/folder. Also better to use & rather than using / for query string.
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^contact/?$ index.php?route=ticketsystem&generatetickets [QSA,NC,L]
I am attempting to redirect a development site that has been indexed by search engines to a specific category in the new live site.
The development site URL was:
http://staging.mydomain.com.au/
There are multiple page url's after the domain so I'd like to redirect all of these to the same new URL.
E.g.
http://staging.mydomain.com.au/essential_grid/
http://staging.mydomain.com.au/feed/
The new url is, where "/portfolio/" is where I need the old URLs redirected to:
http:www.mydomain.com.au/portfolio/
While I'm not receiving any error messages, staging.mydomain.com.au is
not redirecting to www.mydomain.com.au/portfolio/
This is a snippet of what I have in my .htaccess file at present:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^staging.mydomain.com.au$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com.au/portfolio [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: It seems (from comments) that staging. no longer exists - that's the problem! staging. needs to exist (ie. the DNS must resolve) so that the request gets to your server in order to do the redirect. If staging. does not exist then the initial request will simply fail (the browser will fail to lookup the domain and you'll get a DNS error).
You need to recreate the staging subdomain (even with no files) and then implement the redirect below.
Your RewriteRule actually looks OK - assuming you are wanting to redirect all those URLs to the single /portfolio URL. However, the order should perhaps be changed to have the redirect before the internal rewrite. RewriteEngine only needs to be included once and you don't need RewriteBase in the code you have posted. So, this should be rewritten as:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^staging\.mydomain\.com\.au$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.mydomain.com.au/portfolio [R=301,L]
^(.*)$ is reduced to simply ^ since you don't need to capture the URL for a backreference in the substitution.
I've also removed the other RewriteRule as it doesn't appear to be doing anything?
Also note that 301 redirects are cached by the browser, so make sure that you clear your browser cache between failed attempts. It can be easier to test with 302 temporary redirects for this reason.
Is it possible to prefix a htaccess rewrite rule
for example can a variable be used as a prefix to a url
website.com/$variable-for-sale/
/cupcakes-for-sale/
/pies-for-sale/
/flans-for-sale/
The idea is to then use that variable to display all the cupcakes/pies/flans for sale
How would this be written as a rewrite rule? Is it even possible?
Thanks
The first rule will take care of redirecting your ugly URL to Friendly like one.
The second rule will internally redirect it back so the browser URL remains the friendly URL while service the content of your page.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect /?cake=anything to /anything-for-sale/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+\?cake=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1-for-sale/? [R=302,L]
# Internally forward /anything-for-sale/ to /?cake=anything
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-for-sale/?$ /?cake=$1 [NC,L]
Keep in mind I am using R=302 its always better to use 302 which means temporary redirect while testing a new rule before making it permanent as the permanent will cache the information to your browser. Once the rule is confirmed to be working as expected change R=302 to R=301.
To extract variable, you need to use regex parentheses in the correct pattern, then you can use $1 to fetch the group:
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-for-sale/$ /target.php?variable=$1 [L]
The "target" part is the script you use to display the "variable". Since your question doesn't mention what that is, you have to figure it out.
I've taken my site down for some prolonged maintenance and am using mod_rewrite to send all requests to a single page: www.mysite.com/temp/503.php
This is my .htaccess file which works fine.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/temp/503.php [NC]
RewriteRule .* /temp/503.php [R,L]
However, what I'd also like to be able to do is to hide /temp/503.php in the resulting URL from the visitor.
I know this is perhaps trivial and I'm sure fairly simple to achieve, but with my limited mod_rewrite skills I can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Just get rid of the R flag in the rewrite rule, which tells the rule to redirect the request, thus changing the URL in the browser's location bar. So the rule would look like:
RewriteRule .* /temp/503.php [L]
which internally rewrites the requested URI instead of externally telling the browser that it's been moved to a new URL.
My Current rewrite rule is
RewriteRule ^tpjobs/(.+)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
With Joomla Core SEF plugin
And My URL is coming like this
http://www.mydomain.com/tpjobs/findresume.html
Please suggest me how to take off tpjobs or renaming to tpjobs to jobs
Try this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tpjobs/(.*)$ /jobs/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
This will redirect all http://www.mydomain.com/tpjobs/foo to http://www.mydomain.com/jobs/foo
Understand that .htaccess will redirect inbound traffic from one address to another - but the original link (in the page) will still contain the full (unwanted) portions of the url.
If you want to change the 'actual' link - ie the html that is present in the page - you will need to build your own router.php file for the component in question - OR - you will need to write a content plugin to rewrite your content using a regular expression.
