I'm having a Magento multistore setup and i'm sending all non www requests to www in the .htacces with the rewrite:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I'm using a sub domain for testing new websites and for this sub domain I don't need this rewrite. Therefore I use:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [L]
Only problem now is that when I go to http:// sub.domain.com it works, but when I go to a category or product for example http:// sub.domain.com/cat1 or http:// sub.domain.com/product-red.html it doesn't work any more and I get a "Not Found" message.
What do I need to add to the code so it excludes the whole sub domain, including everything after the / ?
Don't use a separate rule to ignore all requests for subdomain like that otherwise Magento's routing rule will also be skipped. Instead tweak your www rule like this to ignore subdomain:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www|sub)\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L,NE]

I have a folder structure like this:
public_html
...images
...v2020
...v2021
With mod_rewrite, I redirect to the folder v2021 and force to https://www.example.com. Now I struggle with adding subdomains. When I go to images.example.com I want the redirection to the folder images, with images.example.com being unchanged in the address field.
I tested the code in two parts separately, first is the forwarding towards https://www including subdomain. It works without subdomains, but if I add any subdomain it leads to nowhere.
RewriteEngine on
# "example.com" to "www.example.com" (and HTTPS)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
# HTTP to HTTPS (same host) - preserve subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
The second part as a minimal working example is the forwording of the standard domain (no subdomain) and subdomain forwarding to a debug script.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^((?!v2021/).*)$ v2021/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+?)\.example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) echo.php\?a=%1\&b=$1 [L]
The script works fine and outputs a="www" when using it with the upper condition, but it is not execute with the lower one. I get forwarded to nowhere.
Thanks for your help!
There seem to be several issues here...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
You first rule redirects all your subdomains (every hostname that does not start www.) to www.example.com, so the subdomain is lost. You probably need to change the first condition so that it only redirects requests for example.com (the domain apex) to www.example.com. But you also need to split the HTTP to HTTPS redirect in order to preserve the subdomain (images etc.)
For example:
# "example.com" to "www.example.com" (and HTTPS)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
# HTTP to HTTPS (same host) - preserve subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
This will result in an internal rewrite loop (500 error) since it repeatedly rewrites to subdomain/url-path resulting in subdomain/subdomain/subdomain/url-path etc. etc.
You need a condition to either only rewrite the direct/initial request (not rewritten requests), or check that the subdomain has not already been rewritten to a subdirectory of the same name.
However, this also rewrites the www subdomain, which I assume is not the intention, so another condition is required to exclude this.
For example, to only rewrite the initial request and exclude the www subdomain:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) %1/$1 [L]
By always rewriting the initial request and not explicitly checking that the subdirectory does not match the subdomain means that you can have a sub-subdirectory of the same name as the subdomain (if required). eg. /images/images/foo.jpg is not a problem.
The NC and QSA flags on the RewriteRule are not required. (Since it's already case-insensitive and you have no query string to append to.)
The REDIRECT_STATUS environment variable is empty on the initial request and set to 200 (as in 200 OK status) after the first successful rewrite, so by checking that it is empty it avoids a rewrite loop.
If you've configured a wildcard subdomain then you might want to check that the subdirectory exists before rewriting. (Although filesystem checks are relatively expensive, so this is probably best avoided if possible. Particularly when serving assets.)
RewriteRule ^((?!v2021/).*)$ /v2021/$1 [L]
This would seem to conflict with the above rule. Shouldn't this only apply to the www subdomain (the opposite of the above rewrite)? For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteRule ^((?!v2021/).*)$ v2021/$1 [L]
I have olddomain.com - and I want to redirect to newdomain.com with htaccess and 301 - thats easy and working very well for me - if I am redirecting whole domain.
But on the new domain I changed few urls (now they are different then on the previous domain) and I want to redirect whole domain and few specific pages to few specific pages and I dont know how to combine this 2 conditions (redirect whole domain and redirect few specific pages).
This is working for me
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ https://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and I would like to add to the code some specific redirects like this but I dont know how to combine it together that it will be working:
Redirect 301 /something/ https://newdomain.com/something-changed-new/
Thank you in advance for a help.
Check this rewrites in top of your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^something\/$ https://newdomain.com/something-changed-new/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^other\/$ https://newdomain.com/something-changed-other/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^old\/$ https://newdomain.com/new/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://newdomain.com/$1 [L]
My website (https://www.went.digital) have a wildcard subdomain (but sadly not a wildcard SSL), which redirects to a subfolder. That's mean that if you enter to demo.went.digital, you'll see what's in went.digital/subdomain. It doesn't really matter how does it work, but I'm saying it because the .htaccess file affecting the subdomains too.
I add into the .htaccess file code that automatically adds www if it's not a subdomain, and I add to it https:// but it doesn't add the https:// if you entered using www.
Here is my current code in the .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
You'll have to add a separate rule for that:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.went\.digital$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.went.digital/$1 [L,R=301]
So I've got the following rewrite code in my htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
//
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.([^\.]*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1.domain.com$1 [R=301,L]
Works perfect for redirecting non-www to www for my domains.
I've got a subdomain, lets call it 'sub.domain.com' which works find. If I goto www.sub.domain.com, it redirecting to 'sub.domain.com/sub/'
Anyone having a idea why?
None of the rules you have in your question routes requests to a subdomain's folder. The /sub/ should never be there if it wasn't originally in the request.
That said, all of your redirect rules need to come before any routing rules. Routing rules being stuff that internally routes requests to other URI's, for example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^\.]*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [L]
That rule internall routes to a folder named the same thing as the subdomain. If this rule were to be before the redirect, both rules get applied and the redirected URI becomes /sub/. You need your routing rules placed after your redirect rules, e.g. all rules that have a http:// or an R flag.
I have Wildcard Subdomains working perfectly on my server, but would like to optimize the .htaccess code to make it more portable. I'm not sure how to do it.
I would like to replace the specific domain name and extension (DOMAIN and .com in the code below) with a regex match so that when using the wildcard code for other domains it is easy to port. So it should be a drop in replacement for domain.com and domain2.net. Here's the code I use:
# Wildcard Subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([^.]+)\.DOMAIN\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://DOMAIN.com/$1?a=%2 [R=301,QSA,L]
It's a little different than the usual version you see, because I've added the exception for the www. + subdomain condition. It many cases people enter www.sub.domain.com which breaks on the server. So I check for the www. and remove it before redirecting.
Thanks for your help!
The way you currently have it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www)\.(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%3.%4/$1?a=%2 [R=301,QSA,L]
If you just want to strip the www from the domain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www)\.(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%2.%3.%4/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
