I am new in htaccess.
I updated some SEO pages in my live site after one day some Url changes came so i changed the url again. but google already indexed it. So i want if some one found old url it will redirect to new url But in case of SEO pages only not for other pages.It means it wont affect to any other place.and there are not one page(it is 40-50 pages) can anybody give answer through htaccess or cakephp.
Old Url-
www.testenergy.com/test-energy-reviews
new url-
www.testenergy.com/s/test-energy-reviews
And there are also four senario-
www.testenergy.com/test-energy-reviews
www.testenergy.com/Test-Energy-Reviews
www.testenergy.com/s/test-energy-reviews
www.testenergy.com/s/Test-Energy-Reviews
All these four links will redirect to www.testenergy.com/s/test-energy-reviews Url only
Assuming you have mod_rewrite rules somewhere, you probably want to stick to mod_rewrite. You'll need to add these to the htaccess file in your document root, preferably above any other rules that are there:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?test-energy-reviews$ /s/test-energy-reviews [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^/?s/Test-Energy-Reviews$ /s/test-energy-reviews [L,R=301]
The NC flag ignores case, so it covers both /test-energy-reviews and /Test-Energy-Reviews. The second rule takes care of /s/Test-Energy-Reviews
I'm not sure why /s/test-energy-reviews (3rd one) is one of your scenarios, since it is exactly what you want to redirect to.
Try This ..!!
Router::redirect('/test-energy-reviews', 'http://www.testenergy.energy/s/test-energy-reviews');
write this line in Controller.
/********* Redirect Url fo small letter if some one type in uppercase in url bar****/
preg_match( '/[A-Z]+/',$this->params->url, $upper_case_found );
if(count($upper_case_found)) {
// Now redirect to lower case version of url
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: " . ROOTPATH.strtolower($this->params->url) );die();
}
/**** End Code******/
OR in htaccess write following code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?test-energy-reviews$ /s/test-energy-reviews [L,NC,R=301]

I'm trying to passthrough (not redirect!) an empty old page to its new location using an htaccess RewriteRule.
I essentially want the user to browse to mysite.com/page-old and to see that url in their browser but be delivered the content from mysite.com/page-new. The user should not be aware that the location changed.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page-old/?$ /page-new [PT]
The actual result is that they are redirected to page-new instead.
I found the below on apache.org which seems to validate my code some, but this is giving me a 404 error.
Description:
Assume we have recently renamed the page foo.html to bar.html and now want to provide the old URL for backward compatibility. However, we want that users of the old URL even not recognize that the pages was renamed - that is, we don't want the address to change in their browser
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/remapping.html
RewriteRule "^/foo\.html$" "/bar.html" [PT]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^example/my-stuff/$ /example/home/ [L,R=301]

How to redirect a specific page using htaccess
We are having a problem with URL rewrites on an apache server using .htaccess.
Goal: to have the following URL stripped of its category & subcategory while leaving the generic redirect in place.
Test 1:
Redirect 301 /category/subcategory/product http://www.site.com/product
Redirect works perfectly. A single redirect to the desired page.
Test 2:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/category/subcategory/.*$ http://www.site.com/category/subcategory
Redirect on its own works perfectly for all URLs desired.
The problem is when we have both URLs in a clean .htaccess file, and the redirects are in the proper order (specific first, then general), the general redirect is being used.
Test 3:
Redirect 301 /category/subcategory/product http://www.site.com/product
RedirectMatch 301 ^/category/subcategory/.*$ http://www.site.com/category/subcategory
When we visit www.site.com/category/subcategory/product, the result is www.site.com/category/subcategory/product, That is not the desired result. Instead, we want the URL to be www.site.com/category/subcategory/product,
We have even tried modified the Redirect to:
Redirect 301 /category/subcategory/product http://www.site.com/product [L]
It made no difference.
Please help!
EDIT: Added 3/25/2014
What we are trying to do is provide specific redirects for a group of known products from their old product page to the new product page. We are also trying to add a "catch all" redirect for the remaining unknown products to the category page.
Here is an actual example redirect which works:
Redirect 301 /womens/western-dresses/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress http://www.site.com/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress
If the above redirect is added to the .htaccess file, it works perfectly on its own.
Here is a second example redirect which works:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/womens/western-dresses/.*$ http://www.site.com/womens/western-dresses
The problem is if we have both of the rules together in .htaccess, in the same order as above, the second rule is always triggered. We try to access www.site.com/womens/western-dresses/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress and the result is www.site.com/womens/western-dresses instead of the desired result of www.site.com/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress
For clarity:
if we remove the .htaccess file, the URL 404s
if only the first rule is listed, it triggers perfectly
if only the second rule is listed, the second rule triggers perfectly
if both rules are listed, the second rule triggers.
We have deleted all redirects from the .htaccess file. The only redirects are the below two lines. The issue remains where the first redirect is ignored. We have tried changing the start of the first redirect to ^/womens and ^womens but that change had no effect.
Redirect 301 /womens/western-dresses/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress http://www.site.com/stetson-cream-empire-waist-ls-western-dress
RedirectMatch 301 ^/womens/western-dresses/.*$ http://www.site.com/womens/western-dresses
Your post is a little confusing, so I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to do.
If memory serves, you should not include a leading slash in your pattern when using these directives in a .htaccess file. That usage is reserved for httpd.conf. When these directives are used in a .htaccess file, the leading path components have already been stripped by mod_access. I am guessing this is the cause of your troubles.
For example, this should work (not tested):
Redirect 301 ^category/subcategory/product http://www.site.com/product
RedirectMatch 301 ^category/subcategory/.* http://www.site.com/category/subcategory
As an aside, [L] is mod_rewrite lingo. "Redirect" and "RedirectMatch" are part of mod_access.
EDIT 3/25:
Redirect and RedirectMatch can be fussy when used in .htaccess files, particularly when dealing with non-existent folders and mixed directives. Can I suggest you move directly to mod_rewrite? While it has a steep learning curve, you will never go back once you get the hang of it.
# Assuming you are in a .htaccess under DocumentRoot:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category/subcategory/product1\.html$ /product1.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/subcategory/product2\.html$ /product2.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^category/subcategory/.* /category/subcategory [R=301,L]
As an aside, this looks like a good candidate for RewriteMap, although you will need to declare the map in your httpd.conf.
http://mysite.com/level-1/level-2/level-3/
I want to redirect to
http://mysite.com/level-1/level-2/
"level-1" and "level-2" can be anything the user enters... (not these exact words)
Could you direct me to a tutorial or give me a few pointers?
Thanks a lot!!
Based on your comment (from level-3 to level-2 folder EXACTLY with 301 Permanent Redirect):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/[^/]+/)[^/]+/$ http://www.example.com/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
This rule will redirect example.com/hello/pink/kitten/ to example.com/hello/pink/
If URL structure is different, then NO redirect will occur:
missing trailing slash (e.g. example.com/hello/pink/kitten)
4-level deep URL (e.g. example.com/hello/pink/kitten/family/)
This rule needs to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder. If placed elsewhere (e.g. Apache config file, inside <VirtualHost>, for example) the rule needs small tweaking.
You just want to throw away what's after the second slash. This is an easy rule:
RewriteRule ^(.*?/.*?/).+$ $1
Then investigate whether you want things like [L,QSA]. You may or may not.
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
Is it possible somehow using mod_rewrite change the url from http://www.mywebsite.com/company/123/reviews to http://www.mywebsite.com/company-123/reivews?
It's not a redirect. The problem is that the real path is the first one and I need my browser to display the second path. So when the user goes to company-123/reviews the content of the page is displayed from company/123/reviews.
Thank you.
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]*?)-([0-9]*?)/([a-z]*?)$ /$1/$2/$3
I think this will work, the regex does it's job atleast.
Use this rule to rewrite the former URL path to the latter one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)-([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ $1/$2/$3 [L]
But you already need the former URLs in your documents to get this rewriting work.
