I have two domains, one old and one new. The structure on both of the sites is identical so what I need is to transfer anything after the domain to the new page
http://testurl.com/absolutely/anything/here
to
http://testurl2.com/absolutely/anything/here
ive tried:
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://testurl2.com/$1
but nothing is working :/
what every comes after the main url needs to be sent to the new domain.
Try this .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^testurl.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.testurl.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://testurl2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
[R=301] flag is used to redirect URL by status 301
[L] flag is used to break rule matching for further rules if it matched given rule.

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 $1 backreference in the substitution string.
That that R by itself is a temporary (302) redirect. You may want to change that to R=301 (permanent) once you have confirmed this is working OK.
I have olddomain.com - and I want to redirect to newdomain.com with htaccess and 301 - thats easy and working very well for me - if I am redirecting whole domain.
But on the new domain I changed few urls (now they are different then on the previous domain) and I want to redirect whole domain and few specific pages to few specific pages and I dont know how to combine this 2 conditions (redirect whole domain and redirect few specific pages).
This is working for me
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [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/$1 [L]
I'm trying to redirect some domains correctly using the htaccess file. Here is what I got:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^special.com$
RewriteRule (.*) https://website.com/some-special-page [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^website.com$
RewriteRule (.*) https://website.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Why is special.com also redirecting to website.com and not to website.com/some-special-page ?
The overall redirect for all the other domains is working fine, however I can't figure out how to have this special case work (and not be overwritten by the second rule. Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to redirect two kind of urls to a subdomain and all the others to my main domain.
A concrete example :
"my account" pages starting by /my-account/* and subscription page must be redirected to https://my-account.domaim.com. The uri must be kept.
all others like /news or the homepage must be seen on www.domain.com only
Here is what I have tried until now :
# All urls except my-account/* and subscription are redirected to the main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-account\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^my-account/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^subscription$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.%1/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
# subscription page is redirected to my-account subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^subscription$ https://my-account.domain.%1/subscription[L,QSA,R=301]
# All my-account/* pages are redirected to my-account subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^my-account/(.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/my-account/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Each rules work independently but if i try all of them together i'm stuck in an infinite loop.
Is anyone have an idea how to prevent it ?
The rules look fine, but you have a missing space in your 2nd rule:
RewriteRule ^subscription$ https://my-account.domain.%1/subscription[L,QSA,R=301]
# -----------------------------------------------------------------^
But you can probably combine them into a single rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(subscription|my-account/.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Also make sure you're clearing your cache when you test, as 301 redirects are permanent and the browser will cache them.
Thanks for your answer !
The typos was from my copy/paste and the combination works but doesn't change anything to the problem with the other rules. I keep it for later ;)
I tried a reversed rules like this :
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^my-account\.domain\.(.+)$ [NC]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subscription$ [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/my-account/ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/$1 [L,R=301]
It also works but not in combination with the other. it doesn't loop anymore but if i try something like http/www.domain.com/subscription i'm redirected to www.domain.com with the url truncated. It seems that the Rewrite conditions aren't correctly recognized but still can't find why ...
I'm having some trouble with my .htaccess redirections.
I want a situation in which the (non-www)domain.tld is redirected to the www.domain.tld. And I want to rewrite the arguments to skip the index.php, making a request for /foo go to index.php/foo.
Initial situation
First I had these rules
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.tld/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\ /:-]*)$ index.php [L]
And this worked. Mostly. What didn't work was that in PHP $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] stayed empty and I disliked the whitelisting of the characters.
Change for PATH_INFO and to accept more
So I changed the last line into this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
This fixed the PATH_INFO and the limited characters. However, I recently noticed that this caused the non-www redirect to www. to fail miserably.. When going to the non-www domain Apache says
Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.
Where 'here' is linked to the same thing I typed (non-www domain.tld) and thus failing to serve the user.
Continuing the search..
I found a lot of Q&A here and elsewhere or the topic of non-www redirections, but all seem to fail in some way. For example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/.+www\/(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
This just didn't do that much. Nothing got redirected, although the website was served on the non-www.
Anyone knowing what I do wrong or having a solution for this mess? :)
(Preferably, I would like the non-www redirection to be global. So that I don't have to change the actual domain name every time.)
I guess you’re just missing the L flag to end the rewriting process:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
And make sure to put this rule in front of those rules that just cause an internal rewrite.
