Rewrite only one specific url - .htaccess

I want to rewrite one specific url.
http://example1.com should be http://example2.de .
But http://example1.com/subdir or http://sub.example1.com should remain the same.
I found the following, which successfully rewrites example1.com, but also every url which starts with example1.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Background: I want to redirect the main page of an WP-Multisite but want to make sure that I can work with the backend of wordpress and run other multisites which are subdomains.

For matching only http://example.com domain (without possibility to add anything before or after the example.com) use the following code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(example.com(\/{0,1})){1}$
RewriteRule http://example2.de(\/{0,1}) [R=301,L]
That (\/{0,1}) part is for matching both example.com and example.com/ (but nothing esle) - if you do not wish to match example.com/ remove that part from both rows.

You're pretty close but you don't need to capture URI in $1:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://example2.de/ [L,R=301]

Redirect http to https and www to non-www in .htaccess

First of all, I know there are lots of answers on this, but I don't actually find one that works. This is what I have in the .htaccess file right now, and I want to mention that it worked previously, but it does not anymore.
Redirect 301 /unt-de-cacao-de-plaja/filtre/producator/crisnatur/ /ingrijire-corporala/unt-cacao/unt-de-cacao-pentru-plaja-100g
Options +FollowSymlinks
# Prevent Directoy listing
Options -Indexes
# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "(?i)((\.tpl|\.ini|\.log|(?<!robots)\.txt))">
Require all denied
## For apache 2.2 and older, replace "Require all denied" with these two lines :
# Order deny,allow
# Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^system/download/(.*) index.php?route=error/not_found [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
# FORCE HTTPS AND NON WWW
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
As a mention, I will have a lot of Redirect 301 from old pages to the new ones since the entire structure has been changed.
And the links that I am redirecting inside my website come with "www" like:
https://www.example.com/unt-de-cacao-de-plaja/filtre/producator/crisnatur/
and needs to be redirected to:
https://example.com/ingrijire-corporala/unt-cacao/unt-de-cacao-pentru-plaja-100g
Redirect to https and non-www
To instead redirect all requests to https and non-www, use the following code instead of the previous:
Canonical HTTPS/non-WWW
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
As before, place this code in the root .htaccess of your site. Here is what it's doing:
Checks if mod_rewrite is available
Checks if HTTPS is off, or if the request includes www
If either condition matches, the request qualifies and is redirected
to the https/non-www address
OR
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NE,R=301]
A few issues, in order of importance:
You have your canonical HTTP to HTTPS and www to non-www redirects at the end of the file. By placing it at the end of the file, after your front-controller, it's simply never going to be processed for most requests. This needs to be near the start of the .htaccess file, before your front-controller.
You should avoid mixing redirects from both mod_alias (Redirect) and mod_rewrite (RewriteRule) in the same scope. Different modules execute at different times throughout the request, despite their apparent order in the config file. Since mod_rewrite is required for other redirects, you should convert the mod_alias Redirect directives to use RewriteRule instead.
For example:
RewriteRule ^unt-de-cacao-de-plaja/filtre/producator/crisnatur/$ /ingrijire-corporala/unt-cacao/unt-de-cacao-pentru-plaja-100g [R=301,L]
You should include the canonical scheme and hostname in your URL redirects in order to avoid multiple redirects when requesting an "old" URL at a non-canonical scheme ot hostname.
For example:
RewriteRule ^unt-de-cacao-de-plaja/filtre/producator/crisnatur/$ https://example.com/ingrijire-corporala/unt-cacao/unt-de-cacao-pentru-plaja-100g [R=301,L]
Depending on what you mean exactly by "a lot of Redirect 301" - you should not be doing this at all in .htaccess and instead redirecting in your server-side script, once you have determined that the request will 404. This is to prioritise normal site visiters and not your redirects (that get executed on every single request).
RewriteCond %{ENV:HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Since you stated that these directives worked previously then I assume the use of the HTTPS environment variable is OK on your system. But note that, whilst this is relatively common, it's non-standard. (It implies the server is using some kind of SSL front-end/proxy.)
Note that the order of these rules will result in a double redirect when requesting http://www.example.com/<anything> (HTTP + www). Which is necessary if you are implementing HSTS, but otherwise, you should reverse these two rules to avoid this unnecessary double redirect.

Redirect Specific Pages Then Redirect All Others

Where to start.
I need to move a website to a new subdomain with around 20 specific pages, and then just blank redirect everything else.
Any ideas?
You'll want something like this in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
# Redirect specific pages
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(index\.html)$ http://newdomain.com/path/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^(index2\.html)$ http://newdomain.com/path/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^(index3\.html)$ http://newdomain.com/path/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
# Redirect all others to the new domain
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

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/.

Redirect root (and only root) URL to another domain?

I'm looking to redirect my domain example.com and www.example.com to http://example2.com, but I want to keep all visits to my posts at http://example.com/sdfhs to continue through to their destinations.
Essentially, I ONLY want to redirect the root and www domain and leave the rest untouched.
How can I do this with .htaccess?
Don't know if you still have this issue, but I have had it on one of my domains (Yourls installation). Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
It works on my installation, but check it out on your site.
Why not
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ${HTTP_HOST} example\.com|www\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://example2.com [L]
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond ${HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://example2.com [L,R=301]
You could simply match any URL with at least 1 character (.+) and mark that as the last rule for the rewrite engine to look at [L].
Then afterwards redirect anything else (.*) to the new domain (the only other thing that wouldn't be matched up to that point would be the root).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example2.com/$1 [R=301,L]

redirect my site from www.foo.bar to cdn.foo.bar

is it possible to have an htaccess rule that will redirect my files from
http://www.mydomain.com/page.html to http://cdn.mydomain.com/page.html but still making the link look like http://www.mydomain.com/page.html
I know masking urls isn't possible, but since they are on the same domain i was wondering if that was possible
Try these rules in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
# for http
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://cdn.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R]
# for https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =443
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://cdn.mydomain.com/$1 [L,R]
However one caveat that it is an external redirect hence URL in your browser will change to http://cdn.mydomain.com/foo because when you are jumping from one host to another you cannot have internal redirect hence R flag is needed.
No idea about .htaccess but you could use a curl script in PHP.
