I want to rewrite from a subdirectory to a subdirectory.
Example, I have an application on http://example.com/level1/level2.
Now I want to be able to visit http://example.com/level1 and the application should be opened which is on http://example.com/level1/level2.
Im just trying to figure out the rewrite rule since 2 hours, but nothing seems to work.
Is this even possible, or is rewriting only possible from root directory?
Thanks
put this code in your /level1/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /level1/
RewriteRule ^((?!level2/).*)$ level2/$1 [L,NC]

I am in the process of simplifying my URLs and have come up with a problem concerning the use of Rewrite in htaccess files.
Search engines currently list my pages in the following format
www.example.com/x/x/article_a/1159/
which is currently rewritten by the following htaccess file placed in the /x/x directory
RewriteRule walk_a/(.*)/$ /x/x/article_a.php?id=$1
This has worked fine for many years.
I want to simplify the URL to
www.example.com/article-1159-introduction
I have tried the following redirects placed in the root
RewriteRule ^x/x/article_a/(.*)/$ http://www.example.com/article-$1-introduction [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^article-(.*)-introduction$ /x/x/article_a.php?id=$1
The 301 rewrite seems to have no effect although the second rewrite command works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Inside /x/x/.htaccess directory use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article_a/(.*)/$ /article-$1-introduction [R=301,NC,L,NE]
Then inside root .htaccess have this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article-(.+)-introduction$ /x/x/article_a.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
i'm working on a drupal7 multisite setup based on subdirectories where example.com is used for the main website and example.com/subsite is another standalone drupal install. subsite is a symlink located in the root directory and also pointing to the root directory to give the subsite access to drupal core files.
now i have to make static content available via example.com/subsite/static, so i created a directory static in the root directory. that all works fine.
the problem is, that example.com/static is now also accessable and i want to prevent that.
i tried to redirect all requests to /static to /subsite/static resulting in inconsistent behaviour and redirect loops.
directory structure:
/
/{various drupal directories}
/subsite -> /
/static
rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^/static/(.*)$ /subsite/static/$1 [R,L]
thx in advance
Is this what you want?
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^static/(.*)$ /subsite/static/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^subsite/static/(.*)$ /static/$1 [L]
In the first line we redirect all call to /static/ to /subsite/static/.
In the second line we rewrite all call to /subsite/static/ to /static.
If it doesn't work please post your whole .htaccess file.
i fixed the redirect loops by using a rewrite condition, should have thought of that before.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subsite/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^static/(.*)$ /subsite/static/$1 [L,R=301]
thx anyway #florian-lemaitre for trying to help me
THE PROBLEM
After looking at 50+ StackOverflow posts and trying many permutations of my htaccess file, it does nothing still.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED
Using this website to generate my htaccess file: http://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/
Setting AllowOverride All in my httpd.conf file and restarting Apache.
MY CURRENT HTACCESS FILE
Lives in the root directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^find-a-local-doctor/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /find-a-local-doctor/?state=$1&city=$2 [L]
WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH
Change this URL:
http://www.md1network.com/find-a-local-doctor/?state=FL&city=Tampa
To this:
http://www.md1network.com/find-a-local-doctor/FL/Tampa
ADDITIONALLY
Since the actual file doing the work is: http://www.md1network.com/find-a-local-doctor/index.php, I need to be able to parse the query string with PHP. Hopefully, I will still be able to do this to get the state and city.
Please help.
Thanks.
Your existing rule looks alright but you will need an additional external redirection rule for reverse. Put this rule before your existing rule (just below RewriteBase /).
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(find-a-local-doctor)/(?:index\.php)?\?state=([^&]+)&city=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/%3? [R=301,L]
I have been racking my brains for a few hours with this.
I wish to use www.mrsmith.com/cars/
however the actual page is in a different directory based at www.mrsmith.com/pagebuilder/carinformation.php
How do I do an apache rewrite (htaccess) so that the directory www.mrsmith.com/cars/ forwards to www.mrsmith.com/pagebuilder/carsinformation.php
And more importantly keeps with the uri of www.mrsmith.com/cars
In the htaccess file in your document root add these rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^ /pagebuilder/carinformation.php [L]
I have just moved from Drupal + Wordpress to a site completely built in WordPress.
Duly I have a set of images where the files no longer exist and need to try and keep all the images in the one folder (if possible). Duly I need to send requests for any gif|png|jpg that are for http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/ to http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads.
If anyone could help would be appreciated - my .htaccess aint what it once was. Thanks in advance
If you google for "htaccess redirect", the top link is this:
http://www.htaccessredirect.net/
If you use the "301 Redirect Directory" section, you get this code:
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /blog/wp-content/uploads/(.*) /wp-content/uploads/$1
As far as I know the target domain should be absolute, so the following might work:
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /blog/wp-content/uploads/(.*) http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/$1
Please try this rule in your .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/blog/wp-content/uploads/(.+)\.(png|gif|jpg)$ wp-content/uploads/$1.$2 [QSA,L]
Try this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.domain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads [NC,L]
You could try and put this
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/blog/wp-content/(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/wp-content/$1 [R=301,L]
What I have hated about all the re-write rules and redirect options for .htaccess files is they all rely on hardcoding the path (URI) and/or server for the redirect.
The point of the ".htaccess" files it it should be for the current directory! It could be referenced in a number of different ways, installed on different servers in different locations. So trying it down to a specific location for a simple directory rename is illogical.
The solution is to somehow incorporate the current URI (regardless or where the ".htaccess" location) into the result...
This is my current solution for location independent ".htaccess" redirect for a renamed sub-directory, and even I admit it is not perfect... BUT IT WORKS...
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^OLDdir/.*$ %{REQUEST_URI}::: [C]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/OLDdir/(.*)::: $1/NEWdir/$2 [R,L]
