i have a problem.
situation:
- old site in main directory with first .htaccess (www.domain.com)
- new site (joomla) in subdirectory /new with second .htaccess (www.domain.com/new)
what i need:
- on www.domain.com must be new site
- old site must be accessible via a direct link
- new site link must be www.domain.com, not www.domain.com/new
I tested probably every guide that I found but nothing works. the only thing I managed is redirected to a new page.
in first htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /new [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
second htaccess:
all off
please help me.
thx
This should be as simple as rewriting every url that does not already point to a resource to that resource with the new prefix, unless it already has that prefix.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /new/$1 [L]
Please note that you have to clear your cache since you used permanent redirects to test. Never test with permanent redirects. Instead use temporary redirects until you have verified everything works as expected.

I have a client project on search engine marketing with a website https://www.iehsacademy.com/,
The site is 13 years old. before the client was using the URL structure like with HTML like this: https://www.example.com/?index.html (Home Page),
https://www.example.com/?cndc.html,
But last year they completely remake the website URL structure and make it to https://www.example.com/ (Home Page), https://www.exsample.com/about. https://www.example.com/contact.
Now, The old URLs and the new URLs are both working. The client wants and also for SEO purposes we want to block the old URL or redirect them to the new URL. I tried many rewrite conditions on htaccess
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+).html https://www.iehsacademy.com/ [QSA,L]
This one also
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.iehsacademy.com/?cndc.html$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.iehsacademy.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Not Working anything. The client's developer is also confused. Can anyone help with this or where i am doing wrong?
NB: I took permission from the site owner to share the client's URLs and problems.
You can use the following redirection rule :
RewriteEngine On
#redirect /?index.html to /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.iehsacademy.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^index\.html$
RewriteRule ^$ https://example.com/? [L,R=301]
#redirect /?foobar to /foobar
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.iehsacademy.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^$ https://example.com/%1? [L,R=301]
Make sure to clear your browser caches or use a different browser to test the redirection. And do not forget to replace the destination domain example.com with your domain name.
this is kinda an odd one:
I need my site to do two things (one of which is already working):
if a user tried to access the domain via HTTP:// it is replaced with https:// - this is for SEO in google and to make the user feel more secure -
the site folder that is used to load the website needs to be the subdomain folder of the site
Oddly the second part of this is working and I figured out - however I'm not sure how to merge these two requests:
HTACCSESS
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^trippy\.co\.nz$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.trippy\.co\.nz$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !update.trippy.co.nz/
RewriteRule (.*) /update.trippy.co.nz/$1 [L]
But I'm not sure how to make the site display as
https://trippy.co.nz/
I have tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} update\.trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://update.trippy.co.nz/$1 [R,L]
but then the web address displays as: https://update.trippy.co.nz
and I need to remain as https://trippy.co.nz/
Any help here would really great and I know its a odd situation to be in.
THanks,
Wally
...but then the web address displays as: https://update.trippy.co.nz
You would seem to be redirecting to the subdomain itself, not the subdomain's subdirectory, as you appear to be doing in the first rule. You may also be putting the directives in the wrong order - the external redirect needs to go first - otherwise you are going to expose the subdomain's subdirectory, which does not appear to be the intention.
Try the following instead:
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
# Rewrite all requests to the subdomain's subdirectory
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteRule !^update\.trippy\.co\.nz/ /update.trippy.co.nz%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
No need for the extra condition in the 2nd rule block, as the check can be performed directly in the RewriteRule and use the REQUEST_URI server variable instead of the $1 backreference in the substitution string.
That that R by itself is a temporary (302) redirect. You may want to change that to R=301 (permanent) once you have confirmed this is working OK.
I have a domain
http://www.example.biz/
I developed a site and put the code in a sub folder on this domain for example, the site is at
http://www.example.biz/site
now, I wanted to point my main domain to this folder so that when user visits example.biz he actually sees example.biz/site and for that, I added the below lines in .htaccess
RedirectMatch ^/$ /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 found this little trick http://css-tricks.com/snippets/htaccess/301-redirects/ to redirect my old Wordpress domain to my new domain with the path included. I run a test on my local copy and everything works fine. When I log in to the cpanel of the old domain and try it though it gives me some bad results.
Here is the code I used for both my local and live copy ...
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com/
Here's what the results look like http://www.cuponsmercado.com.br/lojas/. It looks to be calling the new domain (based on the Google Chrome status at the bottom left) but it just shows the old domain with broken HTML/CSS. Any Ideas?
UPDATE:
I was mistakenly editing the same domain when I thought I was editing both. Both were hosted on the same hosting account but displayed separate cPanel URLs leading to the confusion. There was a chance one .htaccess was conflicting with the other domain as well.
Make this as first rule in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?cuponsmercado\.com\.br$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.cuponsdemercado.com.br%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=302]
You need to stick with mod_rewrite because a request will get both modules applied (Redirect is mod_alias):
Above your # BEGIN WordPress section add:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Additionally, you can use mod_alias and get rid of all the old wordpress rules if you are simply moving your site from one server to another.
I run TYPO3 with a normal site and a subdomain in the same TYPO3 installation. On the normal site, automatically a mobile device is detected and then rerouted to the subdomain.
In my subdomain the visitor is redirected to the correct page in the TYPO3 tree, using following .htaccess file.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^m.mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.mysite.com/index.php?id=74 [L]
What happens is that the visitor ends up in an endless loop where he is sent to the TYPO3 site and then to the subdomain and back again.
To get this working, I also need to change the working directory to www.mysite.com (I also have another provider where I can make these changes using a cpanel, and that site runs perfectly). I have been looking everywhere and have tried almost anything, but I simply do not have enough knowledge to change the working directory.
So what code should I use to change the working directory?
Use RewriteCond to not follow this rule for index.php.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^m.mysite.com [NC]
# Failing the index.php check, the usual test is to look for any
# existing file
# EDIT: Changed URI to start with / - should work per comments
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.mysite.com/index.php?id=74 [L]
