So i have this issue, with changing an old site with a new and I need to redirect all the old links. So have this:
domain.com/articles.php?var=1
I basicly want to redirect everything after articles.php to just domain.com, including the /articles.php.
Thank you in advance.
Try adding this to your htaccess file:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/articles\.php$ /
or if you have mod_rewrite rules already in your htaccess file, you need to use mod_rewrite isntead, and add this rule above whatever rules are already there:
RewriteRule ^articles\.php$ / [L,R=301]

I have a website and need everything in my subdomain to redirect to my home page.
For example I would need www.website.com/sub to redirect back to www.website.com
same with anything else within /sub
so www.website.com/sub/sdjdj/sdsd/dsd ....would also need to redirect to www.website.com
How can I achieve this with htaccess?
You can use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^sub(?:/|$) / [NC,R,L]
You can use this in your .htaccess in the root.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^sub(?:$|/.*) / [R=302,L]
When you are sure the rule is working as intended, change to 301 in rule.
I am doing a set of 301 redirects in Drupal.
I am using a standard method in the .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /user/testimonials http://thesitedomain.com/testimonials
Redirect 301 /user/contact http://thesitedomain.com/contact
</IfModule>
but the return url ends up with "?q=user" and stops it working. eg:
http://thesitedomain.com/about?q=user/about
I am not great at htaccess redirects (obviously) and I am no Drupal expert at all.
Also, if you know of a comprehensive htaccess rewrite resource I would much appreciate reading hat.
You will need to use mod_rewrite instead to strip out existing query string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^user/testimonials/?$ http://thesitedomain.com/testimonials? [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^user/contact/?$ http://thesitedomain.com/contact? [L,NC,R=301]
Take note of trailing ? in target that strips out existing query string.
I can't speak to drupal, but I know you don't need to enclose those redirects in the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> tags, since they don't use the RewriteEngine, the below would suffice:
Redirect 301 /user/testimonials http://thesitedomain.com/testimonials
Redirect 301 /user/contact http://thesitedomain.com/contact
Are both urls in the same drupal? Or are you moving from a different site?
I mean:
/user/testimonials
http://thesitedomain.com/testimonials
Maybe what you need is to add an url alias for /user/testimonials like /testimonials
See under admin at /admin/config/search/path in drupal 7.
Using .htaccess file is not a good practice, because, in some updates you have to update the .htaccess file too.
You can try GlobalRedirect module to manage your redirects.
I don't know much about .htaccess, but I'm trying to help a friend who recently moved his blog to Wordpress.
We need to redirect the OLD archive pages like this:
www.domain.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
www.domain.com/2010_04_02_archive.html
www.domain.com/2010_04_03_archive.html
to NEW archive pages like this:
www.domain.com/2010/04/01
www.domain.com/2010/04/02
www.domain.com/2010/04/03
I've tried everything I can find using htaccess redirect and rewrite, but again, I don't really know what I'm doing with htaccess!
Thanks so much for your help,
Amanda
OK tried this:
Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
in .htaccess in the very top level folder of my site. Still, when I go to http://www.bikermetric.com/2010_04_01_archive.html, it doesn't redirect.
Just tried this too:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3
Still nothing.
You can use mod_alias or mod_rewrite here. You'll want to stick with using mod_rewrite if you already have rewrite rules (stuff that look like RewriteEngine or RewriteRule):
mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2})_([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3
mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2})_([0-9]{2})_archive.html$ /$1/$2/$3 [L,R=301]
You'd want to add it to the htaccess file in your document root.
I am moving a Magento site from example.com/shopping to example.com and I have to 301 redirect all of the URLs to the new location (example.com). I am assuming I can use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file to create a rewrite rule to do this? I tried to learn how to use mod_rewrite, but the syntax is so complex for me.
There are hundreds of pages that need to be redirected. Example:
http://www.example.com/shopping/product-category-1/product-sub-category.html
TO
http://www.example.com/product-category-1/product-sub-category.html
This is so that people don't end up with a 404 error when they enter the site via an old URL.
Try adding this to the htaccess file in your document root, preferably above any rules you may already have there:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shopping/(.*)$ /$1 [L]
If you want to redirect the browser so that the new URL appears in the location bar, add an R flag in square brackets:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shopping/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
I am working on removing an old Joomla 1.0 site that has the SEF module installed. I need to redirect the URLs to static pages in a search engine friendly way.
A typical URL looks like: www.mysite.com/index.php?/this-page.html.
I need to forward it to a static page on the same site like: www.mysite.com/this-page.html
So, I edited htaccess to read:
redirect 301 /index.php?/this-page.html http://www.mysite.com/this-page.html
The redirect does not seem to work. Any ideas? A wild card redirect to strip out the "/index.php?/" would be a bonus since I have to do about 80. I'm happy to do them manually, too.
try this below and let me know
redirect /index.php?/this-page.html http://www.mysite.com/this-page.html
Add in your .htaccess
Redirect /path/to/new/folder http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html
The firs argument should be the path to the folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php/
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*) /$1 [R,L]
This eliminates index.php from all old sef urls
