What I want to achieve is to redirect any subdomain.mydomain.info to mydomain.info/subdomain using a 301 so that the visitor still sees subdomain.mydomain.info.
After some research I found that I had to set wildcard in my A-Record, did that. Than I went on to create a .htaccess. Below is my entire .htaccess.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.info [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.domain\.info [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
When I open subdomain.mydomain.info where I know that mydomain.info/subdomain is an existing folder I only get a message telling me that the domain "subdomain.mydomain.info" is unavailable.
My webspace is running a Confixx panel, just if that helps.
What could be going wrong here?
At this point I am guessing that some configuration outside the .htacces need to be made, but no idea what and where.
BIG EDIT:
Revisiting this. Turned out I had to talk to my provider to get some things set up correctly. Still trying to figure this our though.
Current situation: the .htaccess from above gives me a 500. Putting in an R, als was suggested in the comments, will redirect "sd.domain.info" to "domain.info/sd/sd/sd/sd" and result in an error by my browser. The browser says "There is redirect on this page" and give me the option to load it again. The version suggested by Al Kafri Firas also gives me a 500. When I remove the .htaccess any "subdomain.doamin.info" gets redirected to "domain.info" with the URL being changed in the head of my browser.
Still looking to get this working....
Revert all changes you made to your A-Record and use this rules
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.info$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?([a-z0-9-]+)\.example\.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule /%2%{REQUEST_URI} [PT,L]

I want my site to act like this. If user inputs site.cz it should be redirected to site.eu/?lang=cs but the user should still see site.cz. Right now I have the following htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} site\.cz [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://site.eu/?lang=cs [L,R=301]
which works great and redirects only .cz request (dont do anything with .eu requests) but it displays .eu/?lang=cs in final. Problem is that I dont only want to display site.cz all the time but also links like site.eu/folder1/file1/?lang=cs should be redirected to site.cz/folder1/file1/
Any ideas how to accomplish this?
Thanks in forward
Are you using XAMPP or a web host? Upon testing, URL rewriting isn't working in XAMPP.. Anyway, you can try to check this, just make sure that your two sites are hosted by the same web hosting account:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} site\.cz [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://site.eu/$1?lang=cs [P,L]
But it looks like your sites aren't hosted by the same hosting account as what you've said:
when I use [P] flag I get an error "Following URL was not found on this server" – horin
I have a domain, www.mydomain2.com, that I'd like being redirected to www.mydomain1.com/folder_site2/ but I'd like the URL that appears in the address bar being "www.mydomaine2.com" instead of the "www.mydomain1.com/folder_site2/"
After searches in the Apache documentation, I made my .htaccess looking like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder_site2
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder_site2/$1 [L]
I first thought it was working fine, as, when I typed "mydomain2.com", I was correctly redirected on "www.mydomain1.com/folder_site2/" with "mydomain2.com" as visible URL.
But it seems it's impossible to reach a sub-folder. Any URL like "mydomain2.com/subfolder/text.html" would reach to a 404 (while it was possible to reach via "mydomain1.com/folder_site2/subfolder/text.html")
What have I done wrong? Thanks for your help!
Recently I moved my websites to the hoster one.com. They have setup an automated mechanism (I dunno what they use to achieve that) to rewrite any first-level folder on the webspace to a subdomain.
I.e. the folder http://example.com/folder1/ will be also available as http://folder1.example.com/
Now, I have a site, that is using quite a lot javascript to include pages from a hardcoded, static source. Due to the SOP the scripts are working depending on which hardcoded reference they use.
So, to make sure that everybody gets a working version of the website, i wanted to redirect the direct folder access to the subdomain as well.
My htaccess for this - which is working localy and on various htaccess-testers out there - seems to be not working with one.com:
RewriteEngine On
#Rewrite Access to folder1-folder to subdomain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder1.*?$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://folder1.example.com/ [R=301,L]
Since I don't know the exact mechanism one.com is using to achieve the mentioned behaviour it might just be a conflict with my rules.
Support says, that all the used commands are fully supported, and therefore wasn't be able to tell what's going wrong...
Does anybody have encountered something similiar and has a hint for me?
just fiured out the solution:
RewriteEngine On #does not work
vs.
RewriteEngine on #does work
You need to check that the actual request was made for /folder/ and not the URI (which can internally be rewritten). Try:
#Rewrite Access to folder1-folder to subdomain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /+folder1/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder1/(.*)$ http://folder1.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
How to redirect a first time user to a special landing page using htaccess based on referrer? I mean if they came from another domain then they are the first time visitor?
I am really noob at url rewriting and explanation would be great .
Note: the landing page is nothing but a php script that detects browser. On that page I will use cookie, but need to redirect the user if the referrer is empty or its from another domain.
I suggest this :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(www\.)?(https?://)?example\.com[NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/welcome.html [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/welcome.html [r=307,L]
The first RewriteCond check if referer contains your domain name, and the second check if you are not just redirected by the RewriteRule.
The RewriteRule brings you to the welcome page as a [L]ast rule.
How about redirect the use if his referer is not your domain ?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(www\.)?(https?://)?(?!example\.com) [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/welcome.html [r=307,NC]
That means that the user will be redirected to welcome.html if he writes example.com in the address bar or comes from a link in another site. Once on your site it won't be redirected anymore if he load another page in your site.
P.S. AFAIK you can use cookies in PHP that generates a plain html page see here
Edit: Update tested code
Excuse my reheating the old steak once more.. I would still be interested in knowing if anyone knows the solution to this problem - without using cookies or HTML5 features...
I have read here that the HTTP_REFERER might be blank. Is that why this method of redirecting is not good for this application? I have experimented with this on my server but the closest result working result was being always redirected to my landing page index.htm, which is not desired..
Could this rule interfere with other rewrite rules?
Also, there is an error in the former snippet:
And I think the NC flag in the latter snippet does not make sense. Should it not be L?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(www\.)?(https?://)?example\.com[NC]
#missing space after .com and before [----------------here----^
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/welcome.html [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/welcome.html [r=307,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(www\.)?(https?://)?(?!example\.com) [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/welcome.html [r=307,NC]
#Should this flag not be L? ------------------------------^
I have hosting setup with a master domain (mapped to the web root) and then a number of addon domains (each with their own folder within the web root). At the moment you can visit www.masterdomain.com/addondomainsubdir and reach the same page as you would if you visited www.addondomain.com (which maps to /public_html/addondomainsubdir). I want to prevent this so if you visit www.masterdomain.com/addondomainsubdir then it will do a 301 redirect to www.addondomain.com. The new addondomain.com site is a single page site so it does not have to map any additional pages.
Adding rules to the htaccess file in the web root does notaffect anything as the subdir exists which is wierd as i thought the htaccess command should work even if there is a matching subdir (i've tried the following which works when there's no matching subdir):
RewriteRule ^addondomainsubdir?$ http://www.addondomain.com [NC,R=301,L]
Logically given it's reaching this directory I figure i need to add a command within the htaccess file in the addondomainsubdir directory however nothing appears to have any effect (i've got various other rules setup and they work fine).
I would be massively grateful if anyone explain the best way to rectify this?
Thanks so much for your help,
Dave
I know this is an old post, but it has never been successfully answered. So for all of you finding this via search, this should do what the OP is asking.
Add this line to your .htaccess file:
redirect permanent /addondomainsubdir/ http://www.addondomain.com
Try these rules in your .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
# for http
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?masterdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ http://www.$1.com/ [R=301,L]
# for https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?masterdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =443
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ https://www.$1.com/ [R=301,L]
Instead of putting a rule in your main .htaccess, I would make make a .htaccess for each add-on domain, putting each one in the respective subdirectory.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} masterdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^addondomainsubdir(.*)$ http://www.addondomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
