until now I have always used htaccess to rewrite URLS in order to have non-SEF url to SEF urls.
Today I am facing a new challenge that honestly, beeing non confident in regular expression, I really don't know how to achieve.
I have a situation where a forum on a website of mine has been update in the following form:
previous link: www.domain.com/forum3/topic/name-of-topic/post/7548
new link: forum.domain.com/Topic-name-of-topic/
How do I intercept /post/37764 string and tell htaccess to not consider it?
And how to instruct the server to build that kind of url instead of the provious. I am very confused about it.
Any suggestion? Thank you very much. Is there any resource that I can read to help me better understand the case?
Thanks again.
EDIT
Florian answer is correct. I just added few mods to fit it better.
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)-[0-9]+$ http://forum.domanin.com/Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
You can try this code :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum3/topic/([^/]+)/post/[0-9]+$ /Topic-$1/ [L,R=301]
/([^/]+)/ means that we want to catch a string containing one or more characters except / preceded and followed by a /.

I would like to ignore all query-strings in my redirect. How would I achieve this?
Basically, /project/(.*) should always redirect to /?tag=project&id=$1
/project/100?shareid=fromsomeemailprovider
should end et the ? and only redirect to Id 100.
Thank You!
I tried the following:
^/project/([^/]*)[/]?(.*)$
/?tag=project&id=$1&$2
to put the query-string behind another &, but this only works if the first URL hast a / at the end of it, which it often hasn't and the RewriteRule can't detect the ? sadly.
With your shown samples, please try following htaccess rules file.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(project)/(.*)/?$ index.php?tag=$1&id=$2 [QSA,NC,L]
Please make sure:
You clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
You make sure to keep your index.php file along with your htaccess rules file. Also add / in case both of these files are in root location in your system.
Hi I have a situation with the mytic HTACCESS file. Im trying to fix a broken URL.
this folder never existed was a permalink created in WP.I need to redirect 301 all this broken links to avoid problems with Google.
The URL used to be like this
www.example.com/directory/tour1, www.example.com/directory/tour2, www.example.com/directory/tour3 and so on.
Now the url has changed so all the tours are under the root
www.example.com/tour1, www.example.com/tour2...
I need to make that all the queries to www.example.com/directory/WHATEVER
to point to www.example.com/WHATEVER
Thanks for helping me understand this universe of redirections... \
i HAVE TRIED alot of codes, none of them does the job.
RewriteRule ^tulum-tours/(.*) http://www.aguaclaraproject.com/
In your .htaccess in your www-root use the following rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tulum-tours/(.*)$ /$1 [R,L]
Change the R flag to R=301 after testing it works correctly. Read the documentation for more information.

Have you tried a basic .htaccess rewrite? Shouldn't be too tough with basic rewrite engine:
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^my_component_pretty_url$ ?option=com_mycomponent [NC,L]
If anyone has better rewrite rules, please add...mine are super basic.
Try this,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^chaletreservation$ index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^chaletreservation(.+)$ index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation&$1 [QSA,L]
Then simply use where ever you need this component urls index.php?option=com_jrestaurantreservation like below,
www.yourdomain.com/chaletreservation
Hope its works..
I want to change my url with only the parameter. As I am passing only one parameter, so I want the sub url should be changed with my parameter name. I want change the url as the following type-
From:
http://www.xyz.com/cat.php?slag=season
to
http://www.xyz.com/season
Can anyone help me to do it. I don't know how to do it. Thanks
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
RewriteRule ^(.*)cat/(.*)$ cat\.php?slag=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
put the above in your .htaccess file.. and that would do the magic..
Note :
RewriteBase /path/to/your/directory
(use this line only if your application is in any of subfolder the folder)
I suggest you obtain a copy of the .htaccess that WordPress uses. It's a quite powerful starting point that allows you to handle routing internally from within your Application - which you might feel more comfortable with, as it seems to me.
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
