I use codeigniter and my robots.txt file located in the root, but it can be accessed only from main domain. Search robots trying to access it from subdomains(i use it for locales):
Example:
my.com/robots.txt - OK
en.my.com/robots.txt - FAIL
How can I redirect from xx.my.com/robots.txt to my.com/robots.txt ?
Thanks.
Try using a RedirectMatch
RedirectMatch 301 /robots.txt http://my.com/robots.txt

My website uses a contextpath (eg: www.example.com/abc). The robots.txt is available at www.example.com/abc/robots.txt and I have given a 301 redirect in webserver to redirect www.example.com/robots.txt to www.example.com/abc/robots.txt.
My question is whether the search engines be able to read the robots.txt file since it has a 301 redirect?
Found that the search engines are honoring the 301 redirect and reading the file from the subfolder.
Robots.txt should be on root level
https://example.com/robots.txt - Correct
https://blog.example.com/robots.txt - Correct
https://example.com/abc/robots.txt - Not Correct
https://blog.example.com/abc/robots.txt - Not Correct
If it is on sub directory/sub folder then it will return 404 error(Because they make calls only on root directory), and Google will ignore your robots.txt completely if it is return 301 or 404 error.
I have my own domain:
http://cesarferreira.com
and I wanna make
http://cesarferreira.com/github
point to
https://github.com/cesarferreira
Without having to make a /github/ folder with an index.html with a redirect for each page I own (facebook, twitter, pinterest, etc)
Is there a way like for example htaccess catchig *.com/github and pointing to a given static url?
Thanks a lot
If your document root serves -
http://cesarferreira.com
you can put a redirect in .htaccess like -
Redirect /github https://github.com/cesarferreira
Take a look at URL rewriter 'http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html'. That should be able to do everything you want and more.
As long as it is enabled in apache then you can use it in .htaccess files also.
You can use mod_alias:
Redirect 301 /github https://github.com/cesarferreira
Or if you only want github to point only to the folder:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/github https://github.com/cesarferreira
You can put that in the htaccess file of your document root.
Hey guys I need the htaccess code to do the following after moving domains.
From:
http://www.techau.tv/blog/review-d-link-2890al-wireless-modem-router/
To:
http://techau.com.au/review-d-link-2890al-wireless-modem-router/
So in the change of domain, I dropped the www and the /blog.
Try adding this to your .htaccess file on http://www.techau.tv :
## 301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 http://www.techau.tv/blog/(.*) http://techau.com.au/$1
RedirectMatch 301 http://techau.tv/blog/(.*) http://techau.com.au/$1
Seems to use a regex to do it.
I generated it with this tool by the way: http://www.htaccessredirect.com/
This is one of those super-simple questions that I can't seem to google an answer for, so apologies in advance.
When I ftp into my (shared) server, I have a file structure like this:
Root (/)
/public_html
/newdomain.com
I had an old website that lived in /public_html, it had heaps of content and excellent SEO. We changed our name and our domain (which lives in /newdomain.com, a folder inside /public_html), and set 301 redirects from all the old content to the new website.
I tried doing this myself, but it didn't work at all, so I got my host's techsupport to do it for me. There are several .htaccess files on my server though, and I don't know which ones are actually effective and which aren't.
Root has its own .htaccess file
public_html has its own .htaccess file
/newdomain.com DOESN'T have its own .htaccess file
Redirection 1 (currently is in both root and public_html's .htaccess files, and works)
I want to redirect http://olddomain.com/whatever -> http://newdomain.com/whatever (I've currently got each individual page doing its own separate 301 versus a single rule doing this). Achieved with Redirect 301 /article-name-here/ http://www.newsite.com/article-name-here/
Redirection 2 (currently is in both root and public_html's .htaccess files, and doesn't work).
I also want to do some internal redirections of http://newdomain.com/oldpage.html -> http://newdomain.com/newpage.html. I've tried redirection public_html's .htaccess file like so:
Redirect 301 http://newsite.com/badpage.html http://newsite.com/goodpage.html
But it's not working. Do I need to set up a new .htaccess in the newsite.com folder on my server? Or am I just completely missing the mark here?
Redirection 1
To redirect everything, just remove the article name:
Redirect 301 / http://www.newsite.com/
Or if you don't want to redirect the root (i.e. requests for /), then:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.+)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1
Redirection 2
If the /newdomain directory is the document root for http://newdomain.com/, then you'll need to create a new htaccess file there and include:
Redirect 301 /badpage.html /goodpage.html
I have a domain, but it has no files on the webhost. I want to know if it's possible to do the following with only a .htaccess on my webhost.
But what I want to use this basically for is that I want to redirect my web root http://(www.)mydomain.net to http://domain2.net. And I want http://(www.)mydomain.com/1/ redirect to domain3.net.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Use the htaccess Redirect line..
i think it would be this (i didn't check to verify it works... but fiddle with it):
Redirect http://mydomain.net http://domain2.net
Redirect http://mydomain.net/1 http://domain3.net

You can do this with s simple 301 directive mixed with directories:
I would point mydomain1.com to ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mydomain1 and then in the htaccess in that directory:
Redirect 301 / http://domain1.net/
Then you can repeat the same for site 2: point site to to ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mydomain2 and in the htaccess for that directory
Redirect 301 / http://domain2.net/
