After redirecting my client domain to my server i created rewrite rule in root folder .htaccess file to point domain to a subfolder1 (joomla website):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Everything worked fine but today i found out that i can access any other subfolder in my server by entering for example: myclientdomain.com/subfolder2 and what's worse google can index that and show it in search results.
If there is any way to redirect a domain in a way that I won't be able to access any other folder on my server?
I would really appreciate help as I searched throughout google for answer, my server tech support said that they don't really support these kind of problems (they only gave me a piece of code from above) and I don't really know anything about .htaccess rules and how it works.
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder\/?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Change above rule to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
# if current URI is not starting with /subfolder/ then route to /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^((?!subfolder1/).*)$ subfolder1/$1 [L,NC]

I cant figure out how to redirect all requests except my ip to a subfolder in .htaccess
I came up with
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.45.67.89
RewriteRule ^$ /coming-soon/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/coming-soon [R=301]
But when i write in browser for example example.com/asdasdas it gives me
coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon/coming-soon
What i would like to achieve is when user enters anything that it redirects to example.com/coming-soon unless it is my IP. I did research on SO, but I always get stuck.
Also there is a folder in the root /coming-soon with images and fonts for that html
Any help would be appreciated
You can use this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !=123.45.67.89
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/coming-soon [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/coming-soon [R=301,L]
Make sure to clear your browser cache or use a different browser to test this code.
I have a domain
http://www.example.biz/
I developed a site and put the code in a sub folder on this domain for example, the site is at
http://www.example.biz/site
now, I wanted to point my main domain to this folder so that when user visits example.biz he actually sees example.biz/site and for that, I added the below lines in .htaccess
RedirectMatch ^/$ /site/
it works perfectly however, the url user sees is
http://www.example.biz/site
I do not want that, I wanted user to only see http://www.example.biz as URL but this domain should point to the sub folder invisibly. How should I do that ?
Using mod_rewrite you can use the below rule, now when you access http://www.example.biz it will show the index file from for site/.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /site/ [L]
Or if you want to show every file try with below,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/|.+)$ site/$1 [L]
I found a simpler solution,
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.biz$
RewriteRule !^site/ /site%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
I am in need of help with build an htaccess file. Basically I am moving an website from www.abc.com to www.xyz.com. Now, here is the two things that I am trying to achieve:
All users should be redirected to www.xyz.com when accessing www.abc.com
If user accesses www.abc.com/files/abcd.file or www.abc.com/files/folder/abcd.file, etc. should be redirected to arhive.xyz.com/abcd.file, etc. Basicly, this URL www.abc.com/files/, should be replaced with arhive.xyz.com, keeping the same file/directory structure.
Someone can help? Thanks in advance.
You have several requirements, but if I understand correctly this should get what you need in the htaccess file in the root directory.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?oldsite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/files(/.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.newsite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?oldsite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/files(/.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://archive.newsite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Of course change to your domain names.
Through a little research I came up with an htaccess rewrite rule in my development directory that takes a wildcard subdomain to its matching instance name in my development folder. I will admit I know little to nothing about this so help is really needed. So the current htaccess behaves as such:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(\w+)\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}:%1 !^/([^/]+)/([^:]*):\1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [QSA]
example
instance_folder_name.mydomain.com
redirects to
public_html/development/instance_folder_name
this works great because it allows me to have development websites in the development directory and i dont have to be constantly creating subdomains for each site.
the problem I am having is how to approach the following scenerio:
I use virtual domains as an add on component in Joomla so that several domains are being managed by one single Joomla install. So i may have the following subdomains...
client1.mydomain.com
client2.mydomain.com
client3.mydomain.com
that all need to go to
/public_html/development/client1
I guess what i need is a general rule on how to handle all wildcard subdomains, but with exceptions for client1, client2, client3 for example
You can have a separate rules for these 3 subdomains and add an exclusion condition in the older rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(client1|client2|client3)\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^((?!client1/).*)$ /client1/$1 [L,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(client1|client2|client3)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(\w+)\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}:%1 !^/([^/]+)/([^:]*):\1
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
I'm relatively new to using .htaccess, and have never done any coding besides what I've read online. I'm using Bluehost, and I'd like to redirect my blog subdirectory to a subdomain. Example: I'd like to redirect www.example.com/blog to blog.example.com.
I already have code in place to always add www. to the beginning of my blog address in the root folder, but I don't know how to accomplish the above redirect by using code in .htaccess. Any help would be appreciated!
A lot of web hosts today provide an easy implemention for subdomain creation in their administration panels. You just need to to go there, choose you subdomain name, and then point it to a directory in your tree.
If you can't, then it will be a little more complicated (You will need to resolve that subdomain to your server ip, configure some virtual hosts ... etc) and you may not have enough privileges to do that (unless you are on a dedicated server).
Edit 2
To redirect requests to www.example.com/blog to blog.example.com, try this :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ http://blog.example.com/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^blog/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L,QSA]
I wanted to add my two cents,
1) to answer the question above, this rewrite should fix it:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^/blog$ http://blog.example.com [R=302,L]
2) but, I think this is not enough by itself, you also need to change DNS, so that blog.example.com is pointed at the right server, and this can be done by a cname similar to this:
blog.example.com CNAME example.com TTL 1080
(not exactly how it will look, but use your DNS webinterface to set this up).
Have you tried this one?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/blog/(.*)$ http://blog.subdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^check.domain.info$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/check/
RewriteRule (.*) /check/$1
To redirect subdomain1 and subdomain2 and directory3 to a directory with HTTPS://, I use the following code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain1.example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain2.example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com/subdomain3 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/subdirectory/$1 [R=301,L]
