I am trying to do a redirect to another site. The following rule works perfectly for all the other rules within my .htacces but the following rule does not seem to work and i can'r figure out why, after lots of try and error.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldexample.com$
RewriteRule ^folder3/page.php?value=(.*)$ http://newexample.com/folder1/page.php?value=$1 [L,R=301,NC]
I tried the following which redirected but without the value within (.*) added
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldexample.com$
RewriteRule ^folder3/page.php?(.*)$ http://newexample.com/folder1/page.php?$1 [L,R=301,NC]
Could this be an issue with the = symbbol? I tried escaping it and escaping the . also but to no avail
You can't match against the query string (everything after the ?) in a rewrite rule, you need to use a RewriteCond and match against the %{QUERY_STRING}. However, it looks like you're just trying to pass the query string along, unchanged. So you don't need to mess with any of it:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldexample.com$
RewriteRule ^folder3/page.php$ http://newexample.com/folder1/page.php [L,R=301,NC]
The query string will get appended automatically. You need to make sure this rule is above any routing rules as it needs to take place before any internal rewrites.

i have wildcard subdomains sets already and works fine, now i wish have friends url for the content in thats subdomains, the structure of my site is if the user type subdomain.maindomain.com and the .htaccess redirect to
blogs/index.php?user=subdomain
where blogs/index.php receive the param and show the correct content
now i try to make the url function like this
subdomain.maindoamin.com/24/title-of-content
and then .htaccess must result
blogs/index.php?id_content=24&title=title-of-content
i have the next .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
#this force to server the content always without www.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301]
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2 [L]
not working because when i make in index.php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
don't show idP=24 show /24/title-of-content and i need $_GET(idP)
i really apreciate some light on this stuff i am not expert on htaccess, thanks in advance to everybody.
There are two problems:
The first argument of RewriteRule matches against everything after the slash of the directory .htaccess is in, and before the query string. If .htaccess is in your www-root, and you get the url http://www.example.com/shiny/unicorns.php?are=shiny, you match against shiny/unicorns.php. It will never start with a slash, so ^/ will never match.
Rules are executed in order. If you go to http://sub.example.com/10/unicorns, the second rule will match first and rewrite the request to /blogs/index.php?url=10/unicorns. If you removed the leading slash the third rule would match, but normally you wouldn't want that. You want to have the third rule only match
You want to move the third rule up so it is the second rule. You want to make it more specific to only match with subdomains. You also know the first part contains only numbers, so use that knowledge to prevent blogs/index.php from matching your now second rule. You also need to prevent blogs/index.php from matching the now third rule to prevent it from matching itself. Last but not least I removed [L] from the now second rule, since the third rule will match anyway.
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blogs/index\.php
RewriteRule ^ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
I have googled for a while now, but can't seem to find a solution, so I'll tailor a question directly to my problem.
I am working on a football/soccer website, and entered all the matches. Each database row has a field with a virtual filename in it, like "2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php"
I want --> /matches.php?url=2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php
to look like --> /matches/2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php
My first guess was that the rewriterule would look like this:
RewriteRule ^/matches/(.*)$ /matches.php?url=$1 [L]
But that only gives me a 404 error. I tried different approaches, but nothing solved my issue.
Is the problem that multiple subfolders are passed on into a single parameter?
This should work for you:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST)\ /matches\.php\?url=(.*)\ HTTP
RewriteRule ^ /matches/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^matches/(.*)$ /matches.php?url=$1 [L]
It will redirect /matches.php?url=2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php to /matches/2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php and then silently rewrite it back to /matches.php?url=2010-season/26-may-2010/hometeam-vs-awayteam.php.
In the matches.php file use $_GET['url']; to get the url parameter.
I'm trying to work on doing some rewrite but it's not working. Here is my code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(static/|server/|internal.php).*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /internal.php?request=$1 [L]
I'm trying to redirect everything to /internal.php?request=blablabla, except the internal.php itself, and things in two folders called static and server, since these two folders have images and so on.
For example,
/hello/world => /internal.php?request=hello/world/
/static/a/b/c/a.jpg => /static/a/b/c/a.jpg not changed
But the code is not working, the RewriteCond seems not able to restrict rewrite of internal.php, and the two folders. Now what's happening is everything is going to rewrite to internal.php, and internal.php would be rewrite to internal.php again. And finally give me a 500 after infinite loops. Which I don't want any rewrite happen. What's wrong?
You are missing a leading / in the request URI expression, also you should escape the dot in internal.php so that it actually matches a dot instead of every char:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(static/|server/|internal\.php).*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /internal.php?request=$1 [L]
Note that this will also rewrite /static and /server where the trailing slash is omitted, if you want to avoid that you could for example add another condition:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(static|server)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(static/|server/|internal\.php).*$
Tough it should be possible to put this in a single expression, however I'm not that experienced with regular expressions, so I'm pretty sure that this not the most elegant way:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(((static|server)(/.*)?)|(internal\.php.*))$
We've just finished a major re-structuring our website and I'm trying to write a set of redirect rules of varying specificity. The redirects are half working:
They correctly re-route old URLs
They incorrectly also allow and re-route URLs that include text not specified in the
ReWriteCond statements (when instead I would expect to see a "Not Found" error message displayed in the browser.)
Statements in the .htaccess file (located in the root of the web site) include:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /company/company-history.html
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.technofrolics.com/about/index.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /press
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.technofrolics.com/gallery/index.html
The above correctly executes the desired redirect
but also works when I enter the following after the domain name:
/youcanenteranytext/hereatall/anditstillworks/press
In other words, any text following the domain and preceding the conditional string seems to be allowed/ignored. Any advise on how to restrict the condition or rewrite rule to prevent this would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Margarita
You need to including bounds in your regular expressions when you try to match against %{REQUEST_URI}, the ^ indicates the beginning of the match.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/company/company-history\.html
Will make it so requests for /garbage/stuff/comapny/company-history.html won't match. And likewise:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/press
Will make it so requests for /youcanenteranytext/hereatall/anditstillworks/press won't match. You can additionally employ the $ in your regular expression to indicate the end of the match, so something like this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/press$
Will ONLY match requests for /press and not /something/press or /press/somethingelse or /press/.
I am trying to rewrite all the old oscommerce links to a new website. But I am having trouble with part of the URL I need to rewrite.
The link looks like this:
http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_72&products_id=129&osCsid=6j3iabkldjcmgi3s1344lk1285
This rewrite works for the above link:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129&osCsid=([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
But will not work for:
http://www.domain.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_72&products_id=129
My problem is that I want the rewrite to work no matter if the &osCsid=6j3iabkldjcmgi3s1344lk1285 part is included or not.
I think you can achieve this by not specifying the closing delimiter ($)
Give this a try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
By not putting the $ at the end of the regex string you are basically saying: match any string that starts with ..., no matter what comes after
Hope this helps :)
This should do the job just fine:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129
RewriteRule ^product_info\.php$ http://www.domain.com/apple/air.html? [R=301,L]
There is no need for separate condition RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product_info\.php$ -- this part can be (actually, SHOULD BE, for better performance) moved to RewriteRule.
This is enough ^cPath=3_72&products_id=129 -- it tells "When query strings STARTS with ...". No need to include optional/non-important parameters osCsid=([A-Za-z0-9-_]+).
This rule is to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
