I have a domain (let's say www.example.com) and would like this to point to /Example_folder/ of my server (within /var/www/).
So, if I try to goto www.example.com/images/test.html or example.com/images/test.html, it should be actually pointing at /Example_folder/images/test.html.
I tried to get this working using following code, but I can't figure out.
Trial#1:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$ [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*) /Example_Folder/ [L]
If I use above code, I get ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$ [NC]
Rewriterule ^(.*) /Example_Folder/index.html [L]
If I use above code (where index.html is specified), it would redirect but I can't get my domain to point at its subdirectories. (www.example.com/images/test.html would also point at www.example.com/index.html)
I got it working using the code from link below:
htaccess Silent Redirect to Subdirectory: Subdirectory showing when no trailing '/'
Last thing that remains is that when I point to www.example.com/Example_Folder, I want the address bar to show www.example.com, but I have not figure that out yet.
You can use this negative lookahead based rule to avoid rewrite loop:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example\.com$ [NC]
Rewriterule ^((?!Example_Folder/).+)$ /Example_Folder/$1 [L,NC]
Which means rewrite only if URI doesn't already start with Example_Folder/.

I am trying to make a link that looks like https://www.exapmle.com/profile.php?u=8 to look like https://www.exapmle.com/profile/8
I have a tried variations of this in htaccess:
RewriteRule ^/profile/([0-9]+)/?$ profile.php?u=$1
RewriteRule ^/profile/([0-9]+)\.html /profile.php?u=$1
I don't know what i am doing wrong, the links don't change and I'm not getting any errors either
You may use this code in your site root .htaccess:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /profile\.php\?id=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /profile/%1? [R=301,L]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^/?profile/(\d+)(?:\.html)?/?$ profile.php?u=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
On a site I'm working on, if you enter the url, plus 1 directory, the htaccess adds a trailing slash.
So, this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts
Becomes this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts/
The htaccess that runs the site is quite long and complex, so it's not easy to find or test which rule is causing the rewrite. I was able to track down the issue to this line of code (I think):
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Does this rule match the behavior I'm describing above? It seems to be the cause, but it doesn't make logical sense to me. I don't unsderstand where the trailing slash is coming from.
Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.
Edit: MORE:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
By default apache will add the ending /, you will have to use:
DirectorySlash Off
To disable that behavior which is caused by mod_dir, you can read more about it here.
However if you're trying to remove the / to fix images not showing. That is not the right way to do it, you should instead use the HTML base tag, for example:
<BASE href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">
Read more here about it.
Your current rule as you have updated on your question:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Means:
if domain on the URL is only mysite.com
redirect current URL to domain with www.
So an example of it would be, if you access:
http://domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
It will redirect the user to:
http://www.domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
Note how it retains everything and only add the www. to the domain.
If you really want to redirect it regardless here is one way to do it:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# check if it is a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
# check if the ending `/` is missing and redirect with slash
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
# if file or directory does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and we still want to append the `/` at the end
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
I have a URL with a parameter which I wish to make into sef URL:
want:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street.php?address=abc
to become:
http://map.tautktiv.com/street/address/abc
or
http://map.tautktiv.com/address/abc
have tried several online tools to generate a .htaccess rule, but none of them have any effect on the URL, .htaccess file is active (tried to put some gibberish in it and got error 500)
these are the rules I tried:
1.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^address-([^-]*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule street/address/(.*) street.php?address=$1
2.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /address/(.*)\.php street.php?address=$1
3.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# add whatever other special conditions you need here
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)-(.*)$ /street.php?address=$1 [L]
RewriteRule /(.*)/(.*)/$ street.php?address=$1
the site is a sub-domain which files reside in a sub directory in a shared hosting GoDaddy server, have also tried to apply these rules to the .htaccess in the directory above it, same result.
tried also this per below suggestions
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
same result, nothing happens.
tried to go directly to page from main domain but same result:
http://tautktiv.com/map/streets/street.php?address=abc
First rule will redirect your ugly URL to the pretty URL.
Second rule will internally redirect it back so the user will not see the ugly URL.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Internally forward /street/address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
# Internally forward /address/abc to /street.php?address=abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)/?$ /street.php?address=$1 [NC,L]
If you confirm the rule to be working as expected then you can change it from 302 to 301 as you do not want to use 301 until you know the rule is working as expected.
The .htaccess should go inside the folder where street.php is located.
HTTP is US ASCII so your language would fail, it will redirect it to something like this:
/street/address/%25D7%2590%2520%25D7%2598%25D7%2591%25D7%25A8%25D7%2599%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A8%25D7%2595%25D7%25A9%25D7%259C%25D7%2599%25D7%259D%2520%25D7%2599%25D7%25A9%25D7%25A8%25D7%2590%25D7%259C
Your best bet here would be to change the links to use /street/address/word instead of the php file directly.
This way you would not need the first rule and you can use only the internal redirect which would work just fine with this update.
Try this one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^street/address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
RewriteRule ^address/(.*)$ street.php?address=$1 [r=301,L]
In your examples you'd missed ^ and $ in the second row of RewriteRule.
And use [r=301,L] instead of [L] to tell the browser, that thzis is premanent redirecting.
I want to rewrite one specific url.
http://example1.com should be http://example2.de .
But http://example1.com/subdir or http://sub.example1.com should remain the same.
I found the following, which successfully rewrites example1.com, but also every url which starts with example1.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Background: I want to redirect the main page of an WP-Multisite but want to make sure that I can work with the backend of wordpress and run other multisites which are subdomains.
For matching only http://example.com domain (without possibility to add anything before or after the example.com) use the following code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example.com(\/{0,1})){1}$
RewriteRule http://example2.de(\/{0,1}) [R=301,L]
That (\/{0,1}) part is for matching both example.com and example.com/ (but nothing esle) - if you do not wish to match example.com/ remove that part from both rows.
You're pretty close but you don't need to capture URI in $1:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://example2.de/ [L,R=301]
I'm trying to rewrite some parameters to beautiful links, but for a subdomain / a folder only. Unfortunately I can't get it to work, maybe also because there are some other rewrites in line before...
Heres my code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# NON-WWW TO WWW
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# WORDPRESS-BLOG
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# REDIRECT FOR SUBDOMAIN
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.example.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(?:/)?$ index.php?cshort=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(?:/)?$ /index.php?cshort=$1&cid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(?:/.*)?$ /index.php?cshort=$1&cid=$2&step=$3 [L]
</IfModule>
Basically only the last part is the one I want to rewrite to change URLs from something like
http://subdomain.example.com/index.php?cshort=abc&cid=123&step=1 to http://subdomain.example.com/abc/123/1
The other rewriting rules for www.example.com shouldn't get affected. Unfortunately my current codes only does the first two rules for the blog and the www, but nothing happens on the subdomain. What's wrong in my code?
When you say that you want to rewrite from http://subdomain.example.com/index.php?cshort=abc&cid=123&step=1 to http://subdomain.example.com/abc/123/1 you mean that you want the user to enter the pretty URL and to have it serve the full URL in the background, not that you want to redirect from the ugly to the pretty URL, right?
In your RewriteRules, what are you trying to accomplish with "(?:/)?"? As written, that doesn't make any sense to me. If you're just trying to match whether or not the directory path ends with a slash, you can do that as follows:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?cshort=$1 [L]
EDIT: Additional suggestions:
Move the "Redirect for subdomain" section above the "Wordpress Blog" section. Since the Wordpress rule applies to "everything that's not a real file or directory, regardless of domain" that should go last.
RewriteConds only apply to a single RewriteRule that follows them. For each of the three rules you have listed under "Redirect for subdomain", after updating them per the above suggestion, you need to repeat the two RewriteCond lines in front of the RewriteRule.
