I want to move my website to a subdomain, but without hurting my SEO and backlinks.
so http://www.website.com/category/page
would become http://subdomain.website.com/category/page
I was thinking of making htaccess forward to the subdomain, but with the /category/page still in the url.
How can this be done?
Add this to the htaccess file of your www.website.com document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?website\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://subdomain.website.com/$1 [L,R=301]
You can also redirect traffic to the subdomain if you have access to the control panel of the website.
For example, if you are using a cpanel, click on redirection and point the main domain(www.abc.com) to the subdomain(subdomain.abc.com)

I am Hosting a domain on free hosting site 000webhost, I want to redirect all files or folder that doesn't exist to my homepage. The Code, I have used is:
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain\.com$ [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,l]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.html
It works, but the url doesn't change to homepage. Like if I am trying to open www.domain.com/blaa it redirects me to home page but the URL is still www.domain.com/blaa. I want it to be changed to www.domain.com.
If I am trying to open a valid directory, which exist in my root folder, it also redirects to homepage. Like if I am trying to open www.domain.com/folder, it should result in files and directories in that folder, instead of that it redirects me to homepage and web address is still same like www.domain.com/folder.
Also I want to keep using the above 2 rules to open website with WWW and index.html with www.domain.com
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
As per your questions's title, to redirect to homepage if the request is not for a file or dir, you can use :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ / [L]
You can also use ErrorDocument directive to rewrite non-existent requests to homepage
ErrorDocument 404 /
I want my domain without www always displayed, ie the URL is valid: http://miweb.net And besides this domain to point to a subdirectory and not the root directory.
How I can indicate in the htacess both conditions?
You may want to take a look at VirtualHost.
Assuming you are using Apache, this will allow you to redirect URLs with www or other sub-domains to different folders on the server.
I think I've found the solution. Apparently it works:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?myweb.net$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myweb/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myweb/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.myweb\.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/myweb\.net\/" [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ myweb/index.html [L]
If you access from a browser http://www.myweb.net, we automatically redirected to http://myweb.net (no www).
And that domain no longer points to the root directory of hosting "/ www /" if not "/ www / myweb /".
I have a cakePHP app working at http://domain1.com/domain2, and want to point http://domain2.com/ to this application.
I have done this change the document root of domain2 to public_html/domain2, but, when I go to: domain2.com all css, javascript and images are not loaded, with a message saying controller not found.
What I can do?
All domains have a folder with their domains without the TLD at domain1.com, I think if I create a htaccess and get the domain without TLD, and finally change rewriteBase, will work as expected, but don't know how to do this.
Current htaccess of domain2:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
You can try adding an htaccess file in domain2's document root with the following rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(css|js|png|jpe?g|gif|bmp|ico)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?domain2/(.*) /$1 [L,PT]
This should remove the domain2 part of the links.
A site of mine has all the files stored in a subdirectory. Previously, I used a 301 redirect to send visitors from site.com/specific/page to site.com/subdirectory/specific/page.
I am now using this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdirectory/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdirectory/index.php [L]
This means the URL is cleaner. However, is there a way to make the htaccess redirect people using the subdirectory to the cleaner URL? i.e. if someone goes to site.com/subdirectory/specific/page, is there a way to make the URL site.com/specific/page, while showing the content from site.com/subdirectory/specific/page?
Yes, buit instead of rewriting, youn would redirect..
RedirectMatch 301 "^/subdirectory/(.*)" "/$1"
That way, if they hit any subdirectory directly, they will be redirected to the cleaner URL, where your rules above will kick in.
We just redesigned a site for a client in EE, located at example.com (with and without www.). Their original site is ASPX. They've still got a number of ASPX pages that they want to keep, so their IT people created a subdomain, www2, which is basically a clone of their old site.
I need an htaccess rule that will check if the requested page ends in .aspx, then redirects to the www2 subdomain. It should also make sure that the requested page doesn't exist
I tried using the following rule, but it doesn't work.
RewriteRule ^http://[www\.?]example.com/(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
My htaccess file (including the above rule) looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
# redirect all .aspx pages to www2
RewriteRule ^http://[www\.?]example.com/(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# strip index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Does anyone have a solution for this?
The RewriteRule directive does only test the URL path. If you want to test any other part of the requested URL, you need to use the RewriteCond directive:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.aspx$ http://www2.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
