we have 2 pages - code.php and seo_friendly.php
seo_friendly.php is, as the name suggests, just a link with a nice name and should
actually map to code.php. this is acomplished so:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^seo_friendly.php$ /code.php [L]
now i'm asked that when someone navigates to code.php (that's an old link)
they will be redirected to seo_friendly.php
i tried adding
redirect /code.php seo_friendly.php
both before and after the rewrite.
but that resulted in a loop..
any idea? thanks and have a nice day :-)
You need to match against the request itself instead of the URI (which changes as the rewrite engine is going through the rules). Try:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+code\.php
RewriteRule ^ /seo_friendly.php [L,R=301]

I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]
There is plenty of information out there but nothing I've read on the interwebz has given me an answer as to why my htaccess is not working.
I cannot determine why my rule isn't rewriting the URL as I thought it would. I have the following url:
domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123&bookName=foo_bar
I would like to change it so that when someone hits that URL, it shows like:
domain.com/Book/123/foo_bar
I started off trying to get it to work using just the Book ID and haven't even gotten that to work.
This is what I have thus far:
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2
However, after placing that htaccess in the root of the site and going to the URL:
domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123
The URL in the address bar remains the same.
try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123 or domain.com/Book/123/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123/title or domain.com/Book/123/title/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/([a-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$1&bookName=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
Try adding [L,R=301] at the end of the line:
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,R=301]
I have this url
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?page_id=61
and i want to redirect to the root like this
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
here is my htaccess
RewriteEngine on
redirect 301 /?page_id=61/ http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
but nothing is happening...any ideas
Also I was wondering if there is a way also in .htaccess to delete a duplicate /about ...so for example if the url is
http://somesite.com/about/about
it will rewrite the rule to always be
http://somesite.com/about
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page_id=61$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_URI) ^/about/about[/]?
RewriteRule (.*) http://somesite.com/about? [R=301,L]
should do it.
I don't know the exact answer off the top of my head as I don't work directly with apache that much any longer, but I think you need to look into apache's mod_rewrite module. Try taking a look at:
Apache's mod_rewrite documentation
This post about blocking certain URLS
sorry for this simple question, however i still cant get my head round using .htaccess
I'm trying to convert:
search.php?s=dvd&page=1
to
/Search/dvd/page1.html
Thanks,
Jack
I think something like:
RewriteRule ^search/([A-Za-z]+)/page([0-9]+)\.html$ search.php?$1&page$2
Should do the trick.
Further reading here: http://www.webforgers.net/mod-rewrite/mod-rewrite-syntax.php
you must put your link "/Search/dvd/page1.html" in the page and with htaccess it will convert to the "search.php?s=dvd&page=1" . i hope it be usefull :)
sample correct htaccess code :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule Search/(\d+)/page?(\d+)\.html$ search.php?s=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
If I understand the question OP wants to convert php to html redirection. Try this rule in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
# to match /search.php?s=dvd&page=1
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=([^&]*)&page=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^search\.php/?$ /Search/%1/page%2.html? [R,L,NC]
# to match /search.php?page=12&s=dvd
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=([^&]*)&s=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^search\.php/?$ /Search/%2/page%1.html? [R,L,NC]
R=301 will redirect with https status 301
L will make last rule
NC is for no case comparison
%1 and %2 are the query parameter values
I think you want make clean URI, so if user type url like this:
search/televisi/page4.html
it same as like search.php?s=dvd&page=1
Add this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^search/([a-z]+)/page([1-9]+).html$ search.php?s=$1&page=$2
I want accesses to e.g. www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 to redirect to www.thatdomain.com/path1/path2
(Note that docs is not a part of the new path)
I have the following on www.thisdomain.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs/* http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
If I access www.thisdomain.com/docs, it directs to www.thatdomain.com, but if I access a child-path like www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 it fails. Is it possible for the redirect to intercept the child-path access and redirect as I need? If so, any pointers?
Thanks.
With regular expressions, * means any number of the previous atom, which will match /docs and /docs/. Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^docs/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
(QSA is query string append, so /docs/foo?bar=baz won't lose the ?bar=baz.)
According to section "Redirect Old domain to New domain using htaccess redirect" of the first Google result which I found searching for "htaccess redirect" (without the double quotes), this piece of code will suffice:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
According to their description of the technique, it will redirect the directory the .htaccess file is placed in recursively (including any child paths), just as you intend. Of course, mod_rewrite needs to be present for the rewrite directives to work.
