I am trying to get this
http://my.url.com/login/ or
to redirect to:
http://my.url.com/app/index.cfm?event=user.login
I am using this rewrite rule and it isn't working.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login/$
RewriteRule ^/app/index.cfm?event=user.login [NC,L]
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
The first argument of a RewriteRule is the pattern which matches against the URI, and you're missing that pattern. Try:
RewriteRule ^/?login/$ /app/index.cfm?event=user.login [NC,L]
If you want to externally redirect the browser, include a R or R=301 (permanent) flag in the square brackets, e.g. [NC,L,R=301].

I'm trying to do a .htaccess redirect with a parameter but it's not working. Seems like my regex are also wrong. :(
Original URL 1: http://www.example.com/?team=john-doe
Original URL 2: http://www.example.com/?team
Target URL: http://www.example.com/company/
I tried:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} team=john-doe
RewriteRule /company/ [L,R=301]
Any help would be much appreciated.
Found a generator that works perfectly:
https://donatstudios.com/RewriteRule_Generator
# 301 --- http://www.example.com/?team=john-doe => http://www.example.com/company/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)team\=john\-doe($|&)
RewriteRule ^$ /company/? [L,R=301]
Your RewriteRule is malformed, you are missing a pattern (first argument). Try something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^team(?:=john-doe)?
RewriteRule ^$ /company/? [R=301,L]
The RewriteRule pattern ^$ matches requests for the domain root. The ? on the end of the RewriteRule substitution strips the query string from the redirected URL (on Apache 2.4+ you can use the QSD flag instead).
The CondPattern ^team(?:=john-doe)? matches either "team=john-doe" (URL#1) or "team" (URL#2) at the start of the query string. The (?: part just makes it non-capturing.
You will need to clear your browser cache before testing.
I already have a couple of rules set up such as
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.pipcanadaltd\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .?$ http://ca.pipglobal.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
And I also have rewrites for a few PHP pages such as:
RewriteRule ^products/eye-protection-experts/$ prod-expert-eyewear.php [NC,L]
For some reason, when I went to create a simpler 301 redirect, it is not working. Here is what I have:
RewriteRule ^products/construction-channel-experts/$ ^products/construction-safety-solutions/ [R=301]
I'm really confused on why this doesn't work.
You can use this rule for 301 redirect:
RewriteRule ^products/construction-channel-experts/?$ /products/construction-safety-solutions/ [R=301,L,NC]
Note that ^ is used for matching start position in regex and it can only be used in pattern which is on left hand side.
You should keep redirect rules before internal rewrite rules.
I have a two part problem that I have only been successful with the first part.
I have the following listed in .htaccess which works great:
RewriteRule ^senior/?$ demo.php?dID=1 [NC,L]
So visitors can go straight to mysite.com/senior and the correct internal page (demo.php?dID=1) gets pulled up.
My problem is that I also would like a rewrite where /demo.php?dID=1 shows up in the URL bar as /senior. So existing links show up with the new user friendly url.
My attempt so far has been:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^dID=1$
RewriteRule ^demo.php$ senior [NC]
RewriteRule ^senior/?$ demo.php?dID=1 [NC,L]
Thanks for your time and help.
You want to match against the request instead of the query string and redirect the browser:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /demo\.php\?dID=1($|\ |&)
RewriteRule ^demo.php$ /senior? [NC,R]
RewriteRule ^senior/?$ /demo.php?dID=1 [NC,L]
Place this additional rule before your current rule:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+demo\.php\?dID=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /senior? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^senior/?$ /demo.php?dID=1 [NC,L]
Your current rule based on QUERY_STRING will loop since internal rewrite rule will populate the QUERY_STRING and both rule will keep triggering each other.
My rewrite rule almost works but there are still some problems. Here is the code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*)$ /?s=$1&search=GA [L,R=301]
The first problem now is that the redirect links to:
mydomain.com/?s=tag/&search=GA
How can I get rid of the second slash?
Now the second problem... when a tag contains more than 1 word (for example the tag marketing tips) the redirect is:
mydomain.com/?s=marketing-tips/&search=GA
How do I convert that - symbol to a + symbol?
Try this:
# getting rid of trailing slash:
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*?)/?$ /?s=$1&search=GA [L]
# change "-" with "+":
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=([^&]+)-([^&]+)&(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?s=%1+%2&%3 [L,NE]
# if there's no more "-", redirect:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=([^&-]+)(&|$)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
When I go to a URL like mydomain.com/tag/some-thing-else-lots-of-dashes/, I get redirected to mydomain.com/s=some+thing+else+lots+of+dashes&search=GA
It looks like your regex is picking up the slash from the incoming URL in it's collection, try moving it out and making it optional, also I made your selector less greedy:
RewriteRule ^tag/(.*?)/?$ /?s=$1&search=GA [L,R=301]
I have a simple htaccess redirect to send visitors from website.com/promotions to website.com/go/promotions. If I use the code below I get a redirect loop error:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URL} !^go$
RewriteRule promotion/index.html go/promotion/index.html [R,L,NC]
The RewriteCond is supposed to prevent the loop by not redirecting if the request url contains "go" but it doesn't appear to be working.
In addition I'm trying to set up a regex so that promotion/anypage.html will be redirected to go/promotion/anypage.html. I tried the following code but it wouldn't match anything:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^go$
RewriteRule ^promotion/(.*)$ go/promotion/$1 [R,L,NC]
Does anybody have an clues as to why either of these blocks isn't working properly ?
Cheers
%{REQUEST_URL} isn't a var you can match against, you're probably thinking of %{REQUEST_URI}, but it starts with a leading slash so ^go will never match anything.
You just need a single rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?promotion/(.*)$ /go/promotion/$1 [R,L]
Or you can use mod_alias:
Redirect /promotion/ /go/promotion/
You're checking if the entire URL is just "go" on it's own, which it's not:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?go/
RewriteRule promotion/index.html go/promotion/index.html [R,L,NC]
