I'm moving my site from the .com version to the .co.uk. The only issue is there are some admin facilities that I want to keep on the .com site. I've set up my .htaccess to redirect everything but requested files and directories that exist which works fine, except for the root of the site, I can't get that to redirect.
Here is my htaccess...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.site.co.uk/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
You can use this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.site.co.uk/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
This regex ^(index\.php)?$ will match index.php OR empty string (landing page).

I’m using that .htaccess to redirect all after slash to my index.php param :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
But then im trying to go mysite.co/http://someurl.co or mysite.co/http://www.someurl.co (mysite.co/www.someurl.co redirecting well) im getting error
You don't have permission to access mysite.co/http://www.someurl.co on
this server.
mod_rewrite engine strips all double slashes to single ones in RewriteRule so you cannot match http://www in RewriteRule. Use RewriteCond instead with THE_REQUEST parameter.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(\S+)
RewriteRule ^ /index.php?q=%1 [L,QSA]
Your code is unclear. What are you trying to do? This is the standard WordPress .htaccess which appears close to what you are attempting. Perhaps using that would work better:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
RewriteRule ^http\:\/+.*$ index.php?q=$0 [L,QSA]
I am trying to add some code to my .htaccess to redirect slash and non slash urls to the .html all url's apart from my homepage.
For example
www.mydomain.com/cat/ and www.mydomain.com/cat
should redirect to www.mydomain.com/cat.html
I have managed to add the following to my .htaccess which redirects www.mydomain.com/cat to the right place www.mydomain.com/cat.html but need some help on how to make slash version redirect to the .html page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[^./]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1.html [R=301,L]
My whole .htaccess looks like this, if anyone has any suggestions on how it should look in light of the above it would be greatly appreciated.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

SOLVED:
I just added:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.+)/$
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
The separate rules seems to be working for you, but I think you can simplify it to one rule, with an optional slash. Your rule redirects the slash to no-slash, which then redirects again to the .html. With one rule, you'd only have one redirect.
This has the standard RewriteCond that check if it's not a file or a folder, so it doesn't keep redirecting .html if it's already one. Then, the \? in the ReweriteRule is an optional slash.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ http://mydomain.com/$1.html [R=301,L]
If this is all in your domain, you can omit it from the result:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ /$1.html [R=301,L]
Also, note this will catch and work with subfolders, whether or not you mean it to. e.g.,
www.mydomain.com/animals/cat/ will redirect to www.mydomain.com/animals/cat.html
/podcast/wp/ is a folder, everything else is a virtual directory already generated by RewriteEngine. Here's the code provided by WordPress:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /podcast/wp/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /podcast/wp/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I would like to redirect all requests in the wp/ directory (except for existing folders)
excluding the following possible paths (also virtual directories):
/podcast/wp/ANYSTRING1/ANYSTRING2/feed
to another domain:
example.com
using .htaccess while the excluded path remains working as is.
The goal is to "hide" (redirect) the entire WordPress blog except for the feeds.
Thanks for your help!
Change the wordpress generated rules to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /podcast/wp/
# new stuff
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ![^/]+/[^/]+/feed$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/ [L,R]
# original wordpress stuff
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /podcast/wp/index.php [L]
Depending on how you want to handle the redirect, you can tweak the rule that redirects to http://example.com/. If you want 301 permanent redirects, add a 301:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/ [L,R=301]
If you want to preserve the relative URI in the redirect, use a backreference:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R]
If you want to preserve the entire URI (including the /podcast/wp/ part, use the URI:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
I created some static sub-domains for images:
www.static1.domain.com
www.static2.domain.com
Now I want to redirect files that are not images from static domains to www.domain.com, to avoid duplicate content. I have these rules in my htaccess (non-existing files are redirected to index.php silently):
#Redirect static to main
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} static([0-9]+)\.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#Redirect non exisitng files to index.php (silent)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
The redirect works fine. But if I enter a non-existing image e.g. http://www.static1.domain.com/test.gif, I am redirectd to http://www.domain.com/index.php.
The redirect of test.gif should be a silent redirect to index php ... what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for hints.
I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. By silent redirect to you mean that "index.php" shouldn't be in the url bar or do you mean the url bar should still read "test.gif" but the page should render index.php?
You can not add multiple RewriteCond lines. Only the last one applies to RewriteRule.
So this line does not have any effect:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
And that is why non existing images are also being redirected.
How about:
#Redirect non exisitng files to index.php (silent)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
#Redirect static to main
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Did it this way. Throws the default server 404 Page when http://www.static1.domain.com/test.gif is not found. Not best, but well.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !static([0-9]+)\.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} static([0-9]+)\.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I have a domain and a wordpress-blog on same server. Now I have a problem (surprise). The wordpress is located on /httpdocs/blog/ and domain is pointing to /httpdocs/ and I'm trying to redirect it to /httpdocs/domain/. But, obvisiously, I have permalinks in Wordpress.
Here's my current .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ domain/$1 [L]
But as you already propably assumed, this doesn't work. Wordpress' permalinks affects to /domain/ also, so my images and other urls go wrong.
Any advice? Is it possible to use RewriteBase like this?
No, you can only have one base URL. Just rewrite your rules:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/. /blog/index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =example.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ domain/$1 [L]
I come to this post when I am trying to find solution for a similar problem. It seems that there can be more then one base URL, but the logic does not stop after rewrite. If the URL hit both rewrite base, all the rewrite will be run. Therefore, the strictest rewrite base should be put at the end of the file. For this example, it should be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ domain/$1 [L]
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
Noticed that as both rewrite are being run, so if the rewrite contradicts, you will need to fall back to the accepted answer.
