I have a directory structure like this:
http://example.com/directory/folder/files/
I want to rewrite the URL with htaccess so that when a user visits:
http://example.com/path/
They are served the files from http://example.com/directory/folder/files/.
Essentially, I want to replace directory/folder/files/ with path/
How can I do this?
I've been trying this at the moment, but it doesnt work, it just adds path infront of the URL:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteRule ^directory/folder/files/$ path/%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
The rule you would need is reverse of what you've attempted. Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =GET
RewriteRule ^path/(.*)$ /directory/folder/files/$1 [L,NC]
try adding a slash at the beginning or
RewriteBase /

Need to use .htaccess to redirect all urls that have blog-entry in path like this:
http://example.com/blog/blog-entry/blog-title
to this:
http://example.com/blog/blog-title
Tried this per another stack answer, but no luck:
RewriteRule ^blog-entry/(.*)$ $1 [L,R=301,QSA]
Please advise.
Change your rule with this rule:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(.*)/blog-entry/(\S*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2 [R=301,NE,L]
Since we're using THE_REQUEST here, this rule will work from site root or /blog/ directory.
I am trying to change the url that is displayed in the address bar from mysite.com/blog/wedding-hair/ to mysite.com/services/wedding-hair/ using .htaccess.
Using answers from:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8713319/assigning-different-name-to-existing-folder-in-url-in-htaccess
rewrite a folder name using .htaccess
Replace directory name in url with another name
I added to the .htaccess file. Here is the .htaccess file, I added the last rewrite rule:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mysite\.com" [R=301]
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L]
the non-www redirect works but not the blog-services rewrite. I thought maybe I had the directory names reversed but changing them around doesn't work either. I have tried adding and removing /'s around the directory names in all of the different combinations. I tried adding
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /blog/
before my RewriteRule. Nothing I Have tried has worked, the displayed url remains mysite.com/blog/wedding-hair/
I am sure this is pretty straight forward for someone but I am unable to get this correct. Any help would be appreciated.
When I was working on this yesterday I didn't think about the fact that the blog directory is a WordPress install. Here is the .htaccess file that is in the blog directory:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have tried adding my RewriteRule in this file but still no joy.
The problem here is that RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L] internally rewrites the URI, so that the browser doesn't know it's happening, this happens entirely on the server's end. If you want the browser to actually load a different URL, you need to use the R flag like you are in your www redirect, though it's only redirecting requests to root. If you want it to redirect everything to include the "www", you want something like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Then to redirect "blog" to "services", just add the R flag (or R=301 if you want the redirect to be permanent).
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L,R]
And, if for whatever reason your content isn't actually at /blog/, you need to internally rewrite it back
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /services/
RewriteRule ^services/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]
But this is only if your content is really at /blog/ but you only want to make it appear that it's at /services/.
Actually, in such case, as you have a specific field in Wordpress options to handle the display of a different url, it CAN'T work with .htaccess is the WordPress rules are executed at the end.
And it would be much simpler to use the field "Site Address (URL)" in the General Settings, and enter "mysite.com/services/"
If you don't do that, in spite of your .htaccess, the WP internal rewriting will use you installation repertory
So I have the url: myurl.com/projects/url/visit.php?link=fbehe and I want to rewrite it as so:
myurl.com/u/fbehe
But it isn't working. I am using this so far:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/u/([^/]*)$ visit.php?link=$1 [L]
I would also like to note that I placed my htaccess file in the directory with my visit.php file. so myurl.com/projects/url/.htaccess
How could I achieve this?
You may try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/u/([^/]+)/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* projects/url/visit.php?link=%1 [L]
Maps silently
http://myurl.com/u/anyvalue with or without trailing slash
To
http://myurl.com/projects/url/visit.php?link=anyvalue
Try using NC as well. Also, not sure if the absolute path is working. Try a relative if the .htaccess is in the root of your website.
RewriteRule ^/u/([^/]*)$ visit.php?link=$1 [L,NC]
do you use any framework of this? maybe u can you there functionality like routes. can rewrite your url..
Like Codeigniter,Cake
They have routes to change the url like that.
Preface
I'm trying to re-write a URL for a profile page. All of my application pages have a .html extension, so I'm trying to match just letters, numbers, -, and ..
So these would be valid
site.com/steve
site.com/steve-robbins
site.com/steve.robbins
But these wouldn't be
site.com/steve.html
site.com/steve-robbins.php
Assume I have a check in place so that custom URLs don't have .html or .php on the end.
Problem
I'm currently using this but it's not working
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+)$ profile.php?url=$1 [L]
It should set url to steve, but it's setting it to profile.php
What am I doing wrong?
My complete .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
#
# LOGIN
#
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]{255})/activate\.html$ login.php?activate=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^logout\.html$ login.php?logout [L]
#
# SETTINGS
#
RewriteRule ^change-([a-z]+)\.html$ account-settings.php?$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+)$ profile.php?url=$1 [L]
# SEO friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.html$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.php$ $1.html [R=301]
Add this to the top of your rules (under the RewriteBase / directive):
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
That should stop it from looping. The rewrite engine will keep re-applying all the rules until the URI going in (sans query string) is the same as the URI that comes out of the rules. That's why the value of url is profile.php.
I'm kind of a beginner in interpreting mod_rewrite rules but if I understand it correctly your rule is matched and than matched again, either add something to the url matching scheme like /profile/user or add a condition to not redirect if already redirected
Try adding a leading slash to the redirect like this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)$ /profile.php?url=$1 [L]
The reason you're getting a url value of profile.php is because the [L] flag is kinda misleading when it comes to the .htaccess file. In the server config files it does exactly what you'd think, but in the .htaccess file it stops reading rules at that rule, but then goes through the rules again until path is unchanged by any of the rules. By adding the leading /, your rule will not match the second time around as you exclude / from the regex. I spent a while struggling with this feature myself.
I have an HTML file I want rewritten as a subfolder on the server.
http://www.example.com/kids-and-family/185-summer-camp.html
to be shortened to:
http://www.example.com/camp
Is there an rewrite condition where I can make this happen in .htaccess?
Can I say if (/camp) then display /kids-and-family/185-summer-camp.html?
I have been looking for this but have not found anything.
Try this rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^camp$ kids-and-family/185-summer-camp.html [L]
If you want an external redirect, add the R flag ([L,R]) with an additional redirect status like 301 for a permanent redirect ([L,R=301]).
in your .htaccess file, try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "/camp"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT} /kids-and-family/185-summer-camp.html -s
RewriteRule ^$ /kids-and-family/185-summer-camp.html [L]
