I'm new to this (wonderful) website!
I did search for an answear to my problem but I could not find it.
(Q: bad english. A: I'm italian, sorry.)
My goal:
I would host in a domain 2 different websites, each of them using their proper htaccess rules.
The structure:
/index.html --> empty page.
/site1/index.html
/site1/styleA.css
/site1/logo.png
/site2/index.html
/site2/styleB.css
/site2/logo.png
The problem:
/site1/index.html gets the stylesheet file using absolute path:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css" />
this way it try to get the "style.css" file in the root directory (404).
Same problem with site2 and every other file that use absolute path.
More info:
Sites are stored in folders only to test them, they will be moved to different domains once ready so I would not edit every absolute path.
I'm not using Wordpress, Drupal or similar. They're all my creations.
The Question:
Is it possible to solve the 'absolute path' problems using only .htaccess file(s)?
If not, what would you suggest me to do?
I suppose you can check the referer:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} /site1/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/site1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} /site2/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/site2/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site2/$1 [L]
This doesn't redirect the browser, so there's a possibility that the browser will cache a "/style.css" and the two sites get mixed, so you may want to redirect the browser instead by changing the flags from [L] to [L,R].

I'm trying to put my webpage into Maintenance Mode by using htaccess to redirect any page that begins with (domain name) to a maintenance.php file within a folder inside the root.
I got this to work on localhost with no issues, but it just won't work when I put it on my web host server. It keeps saying there are too many redirects (there's an infinite loop going on).
# MAINTENANCE-PAGE REDIRECT
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^100\.184\.54\.96
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance/maintenance.php$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif) [NC]
RewriteRule .* /maintenance/maintenance.php [R=302,L]
</IfModule>
I tried plenty of the answers given to other questions such as
.htaccess error - ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
htaccess maintenance page redirect results in "too many redirects" error
...among others. The same error keeps coming. I have another domain (domain-1) redirecting to the current webpage (domain-2), tried turning that off to see if it works, nope.
After following a ton of suggestions and styles from around the net, I finally came to a solution that worked for this issue.
To redirect all pages and sub-directories for your domain name to a maintenance page, create two files:
maintenance.html (maintenance page)
maintenance.enable (empty file)
Use the following code in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^105\.228\.123\.16
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/maintenance.html -f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/maintenance.enable -f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !maintenance.html
RewriteRule ^.*$ /maintenance.html [R=503,L]
ErrorDocument 503 /maintenance.html
Header Set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-store"
Be sure to place the 2 files in the same directory as your index page.
That's the solution that worked in my case. I'm yet to try it out with external resources (css/js files and images) but I think it shouldn't take more than some tweaking the above code. Hope it helps someone else too.
EDIT
For external resources and styling just add this line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif|css|js|ico)
Be sure to add all of the relevant directories (containing the stylesheets and scripts) in the same directory as the maintenance.html page.
I could be wrong but it seems like a bad idea to use this in conjunction with Header Set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-store" if you're going to keep the maintenance page up for a while. I leave that for the experts though :-)
My maintenance page is a fancy countdown page.
This is actually part of the problem. Your "fancy" page contains links to numerous CSS and JS files (and the favicon.ico file) - 17 files in total - your .htaccess redirect will redirect these requests as well (all to your maintenance.php page - which will trigger further redirects etc.). You'll need to make additional exceptions for these URL/file extensions. For example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^100\.184\.54\.96
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif|css|js|ico)$
RewriteRule !maintenance\.php$ /maintenance/maintenance.php [R=302,L]
The <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> wrapper is not required (you know your server).
The NC flag is not required unless you really do have mixed case extensions.
I realise this isn't a normal "site down for maintenance" type page, however, maintenance pages should ideally link to as few external resources as possible. To avoid issues like the above, but also you don't want to be in a situation where the maintenance page itself cannot be displayed because the site is down for maintenance!
I am trying to write a htaccess file that will allow for /example/1/profile to look for a JavaScript file within /example/. Currently on Internet Explorer 11 it is looking for /example/1/file.js whereas realistically it should be looking for /example/file.js.
This needs to be done inside of the .htaccess file as the setup that the website currently has.
I know there is a way in which you can redirect 404 to /example however this is resulting in a 200.
Is their a way I can say in the htaccess file that if it is .js .css to look in /example?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
For a little but more information, my current htaccess is like this
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /example/index.php [NC,L]
It is for php because the php echos a file_get_contents of the index.html which is an Angular project.
So I need this htaccess to be the following logic
If the file is a .js or .css then rewrite the location to /example else rewrite the location to example/index.php.
The reason this is happening is because I am doing a format which has the ID as a second parameter and for some reason this is interfering with the way that the URL is structured for the js, css.
I imagine this line is what is breaking it...
RewriteRule ^(.*) /example/index.php [NC,L]
Converting my comments to answer. This appears to be problem due to relative links.
To fix, you can add this just below <head> section of your page's HTML:
<base href="/example/" />
so that every relative URL is resolved from that base URL and not from the current page's URL.
Below is the htaccess scripti am using:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^gecko/([^/]*)$ gecko.php?gecko=$1 [L]
Which changes http://localhost/geckology/gecko.php?gecko=Zilly (which loads css etc fine) to http://localhost/geckology/gecko/zilly which doesn't load the css etc fine as it looking in directories like this http://localhost/geckology/gecko/css/theme.css when it should be http://localhost/geckology/css/theme.css
The site is huge, so if possible i would like a htaccess way of fixing this, however i will change everything to absolute urls if it's not possible
You can fix the relative URI base by simply adding this to the header of your pages:
<base href="/" />
or if you have to use htaccess, which is really inefficient and will assume all of your css/scripts/etc are all in one place, while at the same time making the rest of the world think the same thing is actually 2 different URLs:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^gecko/(css|images|other)(/.*)$ /$1/$2 [L]
This blindly rewrites any URL that tries to access "css", "image" or "other" folders within the /gecko/ path.
I'd like to redirect all outside visitors to a holding page whilst allowing all internal users to see the whole site.
I have the following
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^1.1.1.1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/holding-page/index.php$
RewriteRule .* /holding-page/index.php [R=302,L]
Which does what I want but the holding page won't pull through any styling or images.
Does anyone know who I'd achieve this?
That is due to the use of relative links on your holding page.
Insert one more rule to fix that:
RewriteRule ^holding/(.+?\.(?:jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|tiff|css|js))$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]
If that doesn't fix the problem you can adapt these:
use absolute path in your css, js, images files rather than a relative one. Which means you have to make sure path of these files start either with http:// or a slash /.
You can add this in your page's HTML header: <base href="/" />
I managed to resolve by allowing access to the /holding-page/ directory with the following rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/holding-page/
I want to get rid of the www. before my website name, so I tried setting a canonical URL tag in the files, but it didn't redirect me to http://blablabla.tk when I typed www.blablabla.tk
I tried this code: <link rel="canonical" href="http://blablabla.tk" />
Do I have to change something in the .htaccess file or something?
Yes, add this to the top of the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.blablabla.tk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://blablabla.tk/$1 [L,R=301]
The "canonical" link that you have tells clients like search engine indexing bots which version of the page is the "preferred" version. It doesn't actually redirect anything.
