On GoDaddy Linux hosting, really would like to get this mod rewrite working, but having a strange problem. Very simple code looks like this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
rewriteengine on
RewriteBase /
## clean URLs
RewriteRule ^blog/([^/.]+)/?$ blog.php?title=$1 [L]
then as a test I went to blog.php?title=testing it did as it was supposed to and rewrote the URL to blog/testing. But then when I went to blog.php?title=test or blog.php?title=new it did not rewrite the URL, so i tried going to blog/test and blog/new and it gave me a 404 error. I thought something broke. So i went back to blog.php?title=testing and everything worked again. So it only worked for the first URL I entered.
Also I have this domain set up in a folder under root. so root is example.com but this site is example.com/something then GoDaddy turns that into something.com.
I want clean URLs, I still want the php to be able to use $_GET on the querystring, however I want the nice seo URL like example.com/blog/title
First rule should redirect your php file to the pretty URL second rule should internally redirect the pretty URL to the old one internally so its not visible to the user:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect /blog.php?title=anything to /blog/anything
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+blog\.php\?title=([^\s&]+)&? [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /blog/%1? [R=302,L]
# Internally forward /blog/anything to /blog.php?title=anything
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^blog/([\w-]+)/?$ /blog.php?title=$1 [L]

Im sorry, I know this question has been asked a million times but I can't get it to work. I get infinite loops or it simply doesn't redirect.
I want the following to redirect:
https://www.example.com
https://www.example.com/a/
https://www.example.com/b/
https://www.example.com/c/
to
https://www.example.com/shop/
https://www.example.com/shop/a/
https://www.example.com/shop/b/
https://www.example.com/shop/c/
So far I have:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^$ /shop/$1 [L,QSA,NC]
I tried a million options, who can help?
I also tried:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shop/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shop/$1
You can use the following one liner Redirect for this :
RedirectMatch ^/((?!shop/?).*)$ /shop/$1
This will redirect all requests to /shop/ including your homepage.
Note : This does not rewrite the input url , this just redirects the new url to old one changing the typed url in browser address bar.
I am working on a php redirect script which 302 redirects visitors to other sites when they access a redirect url..
The script gets a variable (id) from the url and then redirects the visitor to the specific page.
The url structure is : example.com/redirect/index.php?id=test
At the moment all redirects work if I use "ugly" urls, but I want to strip all unnessecary information out of the url with .htaccess rewrites for better usability.
Which .htaccess rewrite rules do I need to make the above shown urls look like : example.com/redirect/test
I am currently using the following .htaccess rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule (.*) ./index.php?id=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
but they only work for urls like example.com/redirect/index.php?id=test if I try example.com/redirect/test I get a 404 error page.
It might be good to know, that I have 2 .htaccess files, one in my root directory and one in the root/redirects/ directory.
Best regards !
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)?/?([^/]+)?/?([^/]+)?/? [NC]
I am trying to change the url that is displayed in the address bar from mysite.com/blog/wedding-hair/ to mysite.com/services/wedding-hair/ using .htaccess.
Using answers from:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8713319/assigning-different-name-to-existing-folder-in-url-in-htaccess
rewrite a folder name using .htaccess
Replace directory name in url with another name
I added to the .htaccess file. Here is the .htaccess file, I added the last rewrite rule:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.mysite\.com" [R=301]
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L]
the non-www redirect works but not the blog-services rewrite. I thought maybe I had the directory names reversed but changing them around doesn't work either. I have tried adding and removing /'s around the directory names in all of the different combinations. I tried adding
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /blog/
before my RewriteRule. Nothing I Have tried has worked, the displayed url remains mysite.com/blog/wedding-hair/
I am sure this is pretty straight forward for someone but I am unable to get this correct. Any help would be appreciated.
When I was working on this yesterday I didn't think about the fact that the blog directory is a WordPress install. Here is the .htaccess file that is in the blog directory:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I have tried adding my RewriteRule in this file but still no joy.
The problem here is that RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L] internally rewrites the URI, so that the browser doesn't know it's happening, this happens entirely on the server's end. If you want the browser to actually load a different URL, you need to use the R flag like you are in your www redirect, though it's only redirecting requests to root. If you want it to redirect everything to include the "www", you want something like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Then to redirect "blog" to "services", just add the R flag (or R=301 if you want the redirect to be permanent).
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*)$ /services/$1 [L,R]
And, if for whatever reason your content isn't actually at /blog/, you need to internally rewrite it back
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /services/
RewriteRule ^services/(.*)$ /blog/$1 [L]
But this is only if your content is really at /blog/ but you only want to make it appear that it's at /services/.
Actually, in such case, as you have a specific field in Wordpress options to handle the display of a different url, it CAN'T work with .htaccess is the WordPress rules are executed at the end.
And it would be much simpler to use the field "Site Address (URL)" in the General Settings, and enter "mysite.com/services/"
If you don't do that, in spite of your .htaccess, the WP internal rewriting will use you installation repertory
I'm trying to do a permanent redirect with .htaccess, but it isn't working and I have no idea why.
RedirectPermanent / http://www.flunchinvite.fr
I'm trying to do a redirection from : http://www.flunchinvite.com to: http://www.flunchinvite.fr.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks
edit
I've just did a test to do a redirect to google, and it doesn't work either, whereas when I try to do a redirect with the same code on http://flunchinvite.fr it works. Do you know where that can come from ?
Try something similar to
//Rewrite to www
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^flunchinvite.com[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.flunchinvite.cfr/$1 [r=301,nc]
Use Rewrite if it is an option:
http://www.gnc-web-creations.com/301-redirect.htm
Another method we can use is via mod_rewrite. This requires that the
mod_rewrite module is active on your webserver. It usually is and is
done by the system administrators when they installed the webserver.
mod_rewrite is a very powerful URL re-writing engine and we will only
by scratching a hair on its head here.
Again, in your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine ON RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mynewdomain.com/$1
[R=301,L]
The above example will re-map your old domain to a new one and issue a
301 status code (permanent redirect). So a request for
http://olddomain.com/foobar.html will go to
http://mynewdomain.com/foobar.html
If you simply want to redirect all requests regardless of the page
requested to the new domain you could use:
RewriteRule /.* http://mynewdomain.com/ [R=301,L]
In this case no matter what file or directory is requested they will
all go to
http://mynewdomain.com/ i.e., http://myolddomain.com/foobar.html
will go to http://mynewdomain.com/
The [R=301,L] means redirect the client and send a 301 status code
(R=301) and make this the last rule (L).
At the end I did a php redirection, I don't know why it's not ok on the htaccess. I'll see that another time. I'm going to bed
Take a look at lines 5 and 6:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /demo2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mathpdq\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mathpdq.com/demo2/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I could not get 301 redirects to work so I went with this. basically if the user goes in with mathpdq.com/demo2 it forces a redirect to www.mathpdq.com/demo2.
The stuff below line 6 is just the normal mapping into the php functions.

I'm having an issue with mod_rewrite where I want to match—and replace—a specific URL. The URL I want to rewrite is:
http://example.com/rss to http://example.com/rss.php
That means, if some one were to append anything after rss a 404 Not Found response be sent. Currently I'm using this mod_rewrite snippet:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# pick up request for RSS feed
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ rss.php [L,NC]
# pass any other request through CMS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1
But this matches rss and rss with anything else added to the end. How can I re-write the above to acces only http://example.com/rss as the pattern for mod_rewrite to match against?
You are getting this error because /rss is being redirected twice in your rules by both RewriteRules. Have your rules like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# pick up request for RSS feed
RewriteRule ^rss/?$ /rss.php [L,NC]
# pass any other request through CMS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (?!^rss\.php$)^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L,NC]
So with above rules it will redirect /rss OR rss/ URIs to /rss.php however /rss/foo will be redirected to /index.php since your 2nd rule is forwarding everything to /index.php
I was suprised to see that your rules just don't work, because in my first attempt I would have come to a very similar solution. But looking at the rewrite log revealed the real issue.
As discribed here the server prefers real files over directories. So internally rss/something becomes rss.php/something when applying the rewrite rules and things get weird.
So, one solution is to check if the Option MultiViews is enabled for the web directory either in .htaccess or in the vhost configuration. If so, remove it - which is what worked for me in this example.
If you need MultiViews, then I guess the only chance is to rename rss.php to rss-content.php and change the rule accordingly.
One additional note: you might want to add the following line after the # ... CMS block to prevent endless recursive calls.
RewriteRule ^index\.php/.* - [PT,L]
I hope this solves your rewrite problem.
