I currently have a wildcard subdomain setup also using the htaccess code.
this works great
But now i also want users to able to go to
subdomain.domain.com/settings/
or subdomain.domain.com/settings
i'll need to pass a second query string to index.php
How i can do that?
Thanks.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).domain.com
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?subdomain=%1 [L]
tagert url : /index.php?subdomain=%1&page=settings
"settings" would be replaced by what user enters, it could be login or register or dashboard. That would be the page to go to.
If it is acceptable for index.php to receive an empty value for page, you can merely change the one RewriteRule you have to accommodate it, expecting that if not supplied, $_GET['page'] will be present as an empty string:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).domain.com
# Don't send index.php into a rewrite loop
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Capture page in $1, everything up to the first / or the end $
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/?$ /index.php?subdomain=%1&page=$1 [L]
The pattern ([^/]*) will match anything up to the first /, if there is anything present. The /? allows for an optional trailing slash. Given this pattern, any of these would match, but the final two would result in an empty $_GET['page']
subdomain.example.com/settings
subdomain.example.com/settings/
subdomain.example.com/
subdomain.example.com

I'm trying to rewrite my URLs with unique slug like Instagram or Facebook.
Example: facebook.com/joe
My URLs are like that: website.com/user.php?username=joe
I try this rule in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ user.php?username=$1 [L]
But it doesn't work, it redirects on /user.php.
It works if I use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^u/([^/]*)$ /user.php?username=$1 [L]
But result is website.com/u/joe and I prefer without u.
Any idea?
Add this to your .htaccess in your web root / directory
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ user.php?username=$1 [NC,L]
The .* in the pattern ^(.*)$ matches /anything and the parentheses help capture the anything part as a $1 variable used in the substitution URL as user.php?username=$1.
In case if you need multiple parameters you can simply add &%{QUERY_STRING} after $1 to separate and add them to the end of your query string.
for example : if you pass website.com/joe?age=31 the result will be website.com/user.php?username=joe&age=31.
Finally, the flag NC simply makes the rule non case-sensitive, so it matches /Joe or /JOE as well.
I am having trouble finding a solution for what I want to do. I am going to have a couple thounsand affiliates signing up on our site. They will provide a username, and basically give out the url www.domain.com/affiliate/username to their clients.
So, the url I will be starting with is www.domain.com/affiliate/home.html?userid=bob (if bob is the username they give).
I need that to check with the mysql database if that userid exists, then redirect it to the www.domain.com/affiliate/bob url.
Right now, I have this in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\/]+)$ affiliate/home.html?affiliate=$1 [L]
It obviously doesnt work and Ive never dealt with .htaccess before. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^affiliate/([^/]+)/?$ /affiliate/home.html?affiliate=$1 [L]
As for redirecting to the nicer looking URL if someone enters the one with the query string:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /affiliate/home.html\?affiliate=([^\ &]+)&?([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /affiliate/%2?%3 [L,R=301]
There's no way to check if a username is in your database before the rewrite happens, using an htaccess file. There's ways to talk to a database in apache 2.4 or using a RewriteMap (which can only be defined in server or vhost config, not in htaccess) but you're better off doing the check in your home.html and just return a 404 if the user isn't found.
See my answer on an other similar question.
You want www.domain.com/affiliate/home.html?userid=bob to be redirected to /affliate/bob. You want /affliate/bob to be rewritten to /affiliate/home.html?userid=bob.
Add this to your .htaccess in your /www/ or /public_html/.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^affiliate=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^affiliate/home\.html /affiliate/%1? [R,L]
RewriteRule ^affiliate/(.*)$ affiliate/home.html?affiliate=$1&r=0 [L]
The first rule matches if the user tries to access affiliate/home.html?userid=bob. The RewriteCondition matches the part of the query string (after the ?) that you need to write the fancy url. %1 matches the first 'capturing group' in a rewrite condition. The ? at the end will clear the query string. [R] means it is a redirect (see the linked answer what that does). [L] means it will stop matching if this one matches.
The second rule is an internal rewrite. $1 matches the first 'capturing group' in the RewriteRule. The trailing &r=0 is there to stop the first rule from matching. It requires a RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f to function properly, because the fancy url is in the same directory is the file that handles it.
Have looked at all the other posts regarding this, but can't seem to get it to work. There are a number of unrelated reasons why I can't change the Joomla config, items, etc., but in any event, it seems that these should work regardless of that.
In short, I want any link with Itemid=30 in it to redirect to the one given. What am I doing wrong? The first 3 are what I've tried, that last line is one that is working.
RedirectMatch 301 ^Itemid=30$ http://inside.beta.oursite.com/index.php?option=com_cware&view=courses&Itemid=125
redirect 301 index.php?option=com_cware&view=courses&Itemid=30 http://inside.beta.oursite.com/index.php?option=com_cware&view=courses&Itemid=125
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Itemid=30
RewriteRule ^Itemid=30/$ index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=121 [R=301]
# If query string contains "username=admin"
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} username=admin
# Block it without mercy
RewriteRule .* - [F]
Redirect considers only URL paths, which excludes the query string. If you want to take the query string into account, you must employ mod_rewrite.
Same applies to RewriteRule
If you wish to match against the hostname, port, or query string, use a RewriteCond with the %{HTTP_HOST}, %{SERVER_PORT}, or %{QUERY_STRING} variables respectively.
Therefore, if you want to match some query string and redirect all URLs to some other URL, use a RewriteCond in combination with RewriteRule
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Itemid=30
RewriteRule .* index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=121 [R=301]
This redirects any URL .* with the query string containing Itemid=30 to index.php?option=com_content&...
This is my current .htaccess file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ index.php?p1=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3&p4=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ index.php?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3&p4=$4&p5=$5 [L]
Basically, it takes up to five "Friendly url folders" and assign the value to varibles and then, send those to my index.php page
IE: http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/
$p1 = 'ford';
$p2 = 'focus';
$p3 = 'grey';
$p3 = 'grey';
So far, so good.
Now, I need to integrate a 301 instruction (RegExp?) in that same .htaccess because initially, I had GET parameters like this :
IE: http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/?lang=fr
I need to get rid of all GET variables because Google sees it as duplicate content (even if I'm using the nofollow attribute on my languages links)
IE: http://i.want.to.keep/my/url/?AND_DUMP_GET_VARIABLES
http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/?lang=fr
http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/?lang=en
http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/?lang=sp
==> http://www.example.com/ford/focus/grey/
Logically, the instruction should be interpreted between the first and the second block but I just don't know where to start. Any hints?
THANKS!
As I understand you want to get rid of the QUERY STRING and redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) to the same URL but without QUERY STRING.
The rule below will redirect EVERY request that has query string:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1? [R=301,L]
1. The ? will do the magic -- will strip query string
2. You desperately need this line: RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$. The problem is that it may not work on your Apache setup and I cannot give you what exactly you need to make it work (it works fine on my vanilla Apache v2.2.17 on Windows).
After rewrite (internal redirect) occurred, it goes to next iteration and Apache starts matching all rules from the top again but for already rewritten URL. If we not add the above line, then mod_rewrite will apply the above rule to rewritten URL form and you will end up with all URLs get rewritten to /index.php with no parameters at all.
If the above will not work, then try the code below:
# do not do anything for already existing files and folders
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .+ - [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1? [R=301,L]
With help of # do not do anything for already existing files and folders rule, mod_rewrite will stop rewriting after URL will be rewritten to /index.php?p1=... format.
In case the above will not work at all (better -- in addition to the above -- I would suggest adding this anyway) use <link rel="canonical" href="FULL_PROPER_RUL"/> in your page:

How can I allow visitors to use this link (www.example.com/news?id=34) in order to see (www.example.com/index.php?page=news&id=34)
Right now I am hiding the extensions of my PHP files in order to make the links look nice. When visitors go to (www.example.com/news) they can see the page (www.example.com/index.php?page=news). However, when they go to (www.example.com/news?id=12) they get a 404 error.
At this point, PHP does not recognize the id parameter. Here is what I currently have in my .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# catch request with no querystring like /Home
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
# make other requests with a non-empty query string go to /index.php?id=XXXXX
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]
Your second test pattern (^$) only matches the case where the user doesn't put any path information in, but does include a query string (e.g. www.example.com/?id=12). Also note that the backreference $1 has no value in that rule either.
The simplest solution is to just combine the two rules, since you can use the QSA flag to do the work of appending the id=# part for you:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
The condition of your first rule fails as the query is not empty. Try it without that condition but with the following condition instead:
RewriteCond $1 !=index.php
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
