I've been pulling my hair out trying to get a URL rewrite rule to work using .htaccess. Mod_rewrite is enabled and I have managed to get a 301 redirect to work (from /beta to /Beta/) so I know the .htaccess is able to work.
Basically I'm trying to get /Beta/Page.php?id=page&tab=services&tabid=tab1 to become /page/services (and ideally leave out the tabid if it's not going to break the site removing it).
The code I'm working with currently is:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/Beta/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /Beta/Page.php?id=$1&tab=$2&tabid=$3
redirect 301 /beta http://www.example.com/Beta/
Any help would be gratefully received.
Remove the leading slash:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(Beta)/[^.]+\.php\?id=([^&]+)&tab=([^\s&]*)&tabid=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/%3/%4? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^Beta/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ /Beta/Page.php?id=$1&tab=$2&tabid=$3 [L,QSA]
This will externally redirect:
/Beta/Page.php?id=page&tab=services&tabid=tab1
to
/Beta/page/services/tab1
and rewrite same URI internally.
Also .htaccess is per directory directive and Apache strips the current directory path (thus leading slash) from RewriteRule URI pattern.

htaccess 301 redirect. I have this old site which is for example http://test.org/conference I want to redirect it to conference.test.org
What happened is the 301 redirect in my .htaccess file is quite buggy.
Here is my 301 redirect htaccess code below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/http://test.org/conference(/)?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://conference.test.org/? [R=301,L]
When I test this one it runs and redirects correctly. But when I test it over and over again. It seems not to redirect anymore.
Can someone help me have a htaccess 301 redirect code?
Any help is much appreciated.TIA
I assume this is what you are looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^conference/?$ http://conference.test.org/ [R=301,L,QSA]
Please note that %{REQUEST_URI} only contains the path of the URI, so not the protocol and the hostname. Reason is that the evaluation is performed inside a http host. This is explicitly pointed out in the documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Depending on your http hosts setup you might also have to add a condition to prevent an endless redirection loop:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^conference\.test\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^conference/?$ http://conference.test.org/ [R=301,L,QSA]
But usually that is not required, since the rule should be defined inside the test.org http host...
This seems like exactly what you would want to do with the htaccess rewrite rules. But I can't seem to get it to work properly.
I have this page on my site: http://wireie.gocactus.com/network_extensions.php
I want to rename it to: http://wireie.gocactus.com/transparent-ethernet-solutions
So this is the line I put in my htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^transparent-ethernet-solutions network_extensions\.php [NC]
Alrighty. Now if I go to /transparent-ethernet-solutions, it works great.
The problem is that, /network_extensions.php also still works great. So I'll want to rewrite that url with this line:
RewriteRule ^network_extensions\.php*$ /transparent-ethernet-solutions [R,NC]
Now it gives me an error message about too many redirects. If I add the second line without the first line, it changes the URL on the PHP link but gives me a 'page not found' error on the pretty link redirection.
My mind is blown. Can I have the URL rewritten without forwarding and have the new URL work without redirecting from the old one? I'm not sure if there's just some parameter I'm missing in the first line, or some combination of rules necessary.
This is the code that will be needed in your .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^transparent-ethernet-solutions/?$ network_extensions.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+network_extensions\.php\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ transparent-ethernet-solutions [R=301,L]
I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]
TL;DR
How can I get .htaccess to rewrite http://domain.com/images to http://domain.com/images/ (i.e. add a trailing slash to URLs without one)? The URLs can be deeper than one level, for example http://domain.com/images/page/1.

Say I have a URL like this:
http://jamwaffles2/wallpapers
This will redirect to this in the URL bar, with the rewrite rule working fine:
http://jamwaffles2/wallpapers/?page=wallpapers
However
http://jamwaffles2/wallpapers/ (note trailing slash)
Rewrites fine to
http://jamwaffles2/index.php?page=wallpapers (not visible to user)
With a nice http://jamwaffles2/wallpapers/ in the address bar.
The issue here is that when a trailing slash isn't given to the URL, the URL in the address bar changes to a not-so-pretty one. Can someone offer a solution to this?
Here's my .htaccess:
# turn rewriting on
RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://jamwaffles2/home
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&var1=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&var1=$2&var2=$3 [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&var1=$2&var2=$3&var3=$4 [L,NC,QSA]
As a side note, there are more levels to the URL; the .htaccess should make that apparent (e.g. http://jamwaffles2/home/page/2).
EDIT
Curiously, this only happens on /wallpapers. If I type in http://jamwaffles2/home it works as expected, but won't work with http://jamwaffles2/wallpapers.
1) Try this directive: Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews -- depending on Apache config it can be the deal breaker.
2) Use this code (one of possible variants) to add trailing slash for NON-EXISTING resources ONLY:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
It will redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) so URL will change in browser (e.g. example.com/hello => example.com/hello/).
If it still does not work (for whatever the reason may be) -- if you can edit Apache config files -- please enable rewrite debugging (RewriteLogLevel 9) and check the rewrite log to see why some URL failing correct rewrite. Every server can be configured differently, so the same rule may work a bit differently in your case.
How do I get the following redirect to work?
olddomain.com/employee-scheduling-software.html
To redirect to
newdomain.us/employee-scheduling-software.html
I do have mod_rewrite on, but I'm basically a complete novice in this area
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^employee-scheduling-software.html$ http://newdomain.example.org/employee-scheduling-software.html
</IfModule>
You can change the rule into:
RewriteRule ^employee-scheduling-software.html$ http://newdomain.example.org/employee-scheduling-software.html [R=301]
which will send a 301 Moved Permanently header to the browser, so it updates its bookmarks and stuff.
You could use this code in .htaccess on olddomain.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^employee-scheduling-software\.html$ http://newdomain.us/employee-scheduling-software.html [R,QSA]
Since the ^employee-scheduling-software\.html$ is a PERL regex, you need to escape the dot in ".html" with a backslash (\.).
This will just redirect employee-scheduling-software.html to the new domain. If you want to redirect all files to the new domain, use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.us/$1 [R,QSA]
