htaccess in a shared hosting - .htaccess

I have a account in a shared hosting(www.1and1.com) and i want a .htaccess redirecting all the request to a different folder. (I'm trying to setup a symfony2 app)
for example, on request to:
http://www.mydomain.com/
internally respond:
http://www.mydomain.com/folder_x/folder_y
i already try this(do not work):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /folder_x/folder_y/$1 [R,L]
Thanks

Leading slash isn't matched in RewriteRule in .htaccess. Change your rule to:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder_x/folder_y/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /folder_x/folder_y%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
Some other improvements I have made:
Removed R flag since you wanted internal rewrite only
Added RewriteCond before rule to avoid rewriting URIs that already start with /folder_x/folder_y/

.htaccess rewrite to same alias without infinite redirects

I have...
| .htaccess : (v1)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
So, /in --is-really--> /login.php
This much works great. We all can learn how to do this from: .htaccess redirect with alias url
But, I want it to also work in reverse...
If someone should enter /login.php into the address bar, I want it to change to /in.
So also, /login.php --rewrites-to--> /in
From this Answer to a different Question, I want to be ready for anything, using REQUEST_URI. So, my .htaccess file starts with this...
| .htaccess : (v2)
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)index\.php(/|$) /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
That also works great.
But now, I want to add this rule (my Question here) for /in <--> /login.php both ways, just how / <--> /index.php already works with .htaccess (v2). So, I adopted the settings and added a second rule...
| .htaccess : (v3) —not working!
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)index\.php(/|$) /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php, and also redirect back to it
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?login\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)login\.php(/|$) /%1in [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
...but then /in and /login.php both cause an infinite redirect loop.
What's the right way to do this, still using REQUEST_URI, and still having both rewrite rules (for index.php and for login.php)?

Reason of redirect loop is a missing RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ before first redirect rule that removes index.php. Remember that RewriteCond is applicable to immediate next RewriteRule only.
Suggested .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php, and also redirect back to it
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?login\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1in [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php [L,NC]
It won't cause redirect loop because after first rewrite to /login.php, variable REDIRECT_STATUS will become 200 and then the RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ will stop redirect looping.
Thanks to the help from the user with the correct answer, I found that...
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
...doesn't go in .htaccess only once, but every time on the line before...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ...

.htaccess rewrite for subdomain only

I have the following .htaccess code that successfully rewrites subdomain directories. So if a user visits jim.domain.com they get served placeholder.php?page_type=profile. However, this also affects the main directory http://domain.com. I'd like it so that anything with a subdomain is directed to the placeholder.php page, but using the main directory with no subdomain would act as usual, going to the index.php in the main directory. How would I achieve this? Thanks for any advice.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^exclude.domain.(.*)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.(.*)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ placeholder.php?page_type=profile [L,QSA]
If your wanting all requests for test.domain.com to go to domain.com/placeholder.php?page_type=profile as in your comment then you need to include the domain in the rewrite
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^exclude.domain.(.*)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.(.*)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ http://domain.com/placeholder.php?page_type=profile [L,QSA]
this will not how ever deal with this part
but using the main directory with no subdomain would act as usual, going to the index.php in the main directory
because you have no file/directory miss rules that redirect to index.php. Do you need those, or really just want to solve the first part?
I also wonder if your wanting profile replaced with the subdomain match, in which case you want
RewriteRule ^$ http://domain.com/placeholder.php?page_type=%1[L,QSA]
but both of these examples will not rewrite any path of test.domain.com/longer_url because the ^$ is only matching an empty URL path. But how you want to handling paths needs to be decided before a suitable Reerite can be proposed.

Redirecting using Rewriterule from .htaccess

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/.

.htaccess: rewrite condition and rewrite problems

I am working on a CakePHP project in shared hosting with multiple subdomains. Due to problems with Cake's htaccess I had to move the main site into a subfolder, and write a new htaccess to redirect users to this folder (while leaving the subdomains requests intact). At the minute my htaccess file looks something like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain/
RewriteRule (.*) /domain/$1
</IfModule>
This works for requests with 'www' prepended to the url, but there are some issues with http: // domain.com requests. In IE & Chrome this address resolves itself to the 'www' url, but in Firefox & Safari, it shows the directory structure.
I need to figure out how to include the http: // domain.com requests in the rewrite conditions without affecting the other sub-domains.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Adrian
Change your %{HTTP_HOST} rewrite condition as
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/domain/ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /domain/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
The ? in (www\.)? says zero or one occurrence i.e. makes it optional.
[L] marks it as last i.e. rewriting should stop at this rule.
[NC] makes all matches case-insensitive.
Try this for the host match:
^(www\.)?domain\.com$

Special rewrite rule for .htaccess

Having issues trying to do a proper .htaccess rewrite with the following conditions
original URL:
http://example.com/foo/bar/ANYTHING (either http or https, ANYTHING could be anything the user enters)
rewritten URL:
https://example.com/foo/bar/index.php/this/that/ANYTHING
but don't rewrite anything with index.php already in it.
I've tried several options, but I keep getting the filesystem path included in the new URL.
My attempt:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /foo/bar/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !index.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/foo/bar/index.php/this/that/$1 [R=301,L]
First off, test your rules without 301, because the browser caches 301 results and makes testing much harder. Add R=301 not until you're satisfied with the rules.
See also Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules.
You don't need to test for example.com, unless multiple domains are hosted in the same directory.
Testing for index.php is against REQUEST_URI, not HTTP_HOST
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php
RewriteRule ^/?foo/bar/(.*)$ https://example.com/foo/bar/index.php/this/that/$1 [R,L]
