I know how to exclude folders, file types but i don't know how to exclude a link that contain a specific word.
I have this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://en.domain.com/$1 [QSA,L]
How to exclude from this rule the links that have at beginning: index.php?a=admin
This should do the trick:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^a=admin
RewriteRule (.*) http://en.domain.com/$1 [QSA,L]
Here, we're adding a condition that states that the rewrite may only occur if the host is www.domain.com, the file being requested is index.php, and the query string does not being with a=admin.
So, www.domain.com/test will redirect to en.domain.com/test, but www.domain.com/index.php?a=admin will not redirect at all.

I havve been using an htaccess file to create rewrites so as not to not have to include .php/.html filenames in my urls.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example-page.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example-page.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule /front /front_page.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule /redirect /redirect-page.php
However as my code is currently written the redirects are not working and all attempts at loading the pages with anything else besides the filenames is giving me a 404 error. How might i fix my code to get the redirecting to work?
Write the directives like this instead:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^front$ /front_page.php [L]
RewriteRule ^redirect$ /redirect-page.php [L]
There doesn't seem to be a need for all your additional conditions? I assume you only have the one domain example-page.com and you don't have a file called /front etc.
In .htaccess, the URL-path matched by the RewriteRule pattern does not start with a slash. You should also include start/end-of-string anchors on the regex so that you only match front exactly and not match it anywhere in the URL-path.
I have been at this all day long, tried dozens of variations but can't quite seem to get this rewrite to work.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /pwreset\.php\ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ https\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/support\/pwreset\.php [L]
The URL it returns is:
https://www.web-jive.com/support/pwreset.php/?key=cdc3b1aa842785f7345be501a30ddc83
What I need to be removed is the pwrest.php trailing slash before the question mark. Where am I going wrong on this?
The idea is to have the first URL below, redirect to the second:
https://example1.com/pwreset.php?key=cdc3b1aa842785f7345be501a30ddc83
https://example2.com/support/pwreset.php?key=cdc3b1aa842785f7345be501a30ddc83
EDIT
Per Mr. White's suggestion, I'm posting the whole .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
# Announcements
RewriteRule ^announcements/([0-9]+)/[a-z0-9_-]+\.html$ ./announcements.php?id=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^announcements$ ./announcements.php [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^downloads/([0-9]+)/([^/]*)$ ./downloads.php?action=displaycat&catid=$1 [L,NC]

RewriteRule ^knowledgebase$ ./knowledgebase.php [L,NC]
#Password reset
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^key=[0-9a-f]{32}$
RewriteRule ^pwreset\.php$ https://www.web-jive.com/support%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
#Redirect to new support URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^members\.web\-jive\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.members\.web\-jive\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.web\-jive\.com\/support" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^members\.web\-jive\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.members\.web\-jive\.com$
The output you are seeing (with the trailing slash on the URL-path) isn't the result of just the directives you posted, so maybe you have a conflict with other directives or you are seeing a cached response.
However, the rule you posted would seem to be far more complex than it needs to be.
1. https://example1.com/pwreset.php?key=cdc3b1aa842785f7345be501a30ddc83
2. https://example2.com/support/pwreset.php?key=cdc3b1aa842785f7345be501a30ddc83
Assumptions:
You don't need to match the key value; just the URL-path (ie. /pwreset.php)
example1.com and example2.com point to different places (the filesystem does not overlap).
To redirect from 1. to 2. try the following at the top of your .htaccess file in the root of example1.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pwreset\.php$ https://example2.com/support%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
Any query string (eg. key=abc...) is passed through unaltered.
Note that this is a 302 (temporary) redirect. Only change it to a 301 (permanent) when you have confirmed it works OK.
If you need to check that a key= URL param is present and is set to a 32 hex string (which appears to be what your example represents) then include a condition before the above RewriteRule that checks against the QUERY_STRING server variable. For example:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^key=[0-9a-f]{32}$
RewriteRule ^pwreset\.php$ https://example2.com/support%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
If any other URL params are present on the request then the redirect will fail.
Aside:
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ https\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/support\/pwreset\.php [L]
This looks very cPanel-esque. There is no need to backslash colons, slashes and dots in the RewriteRule susbtitution argument. This is an "ordinary" string, not a regex. These characters have no special meaning here.
I have a bunch of .htaccess rules that follow this format
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.lazygamer\.co.za$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lazygamer.net/$1 [R=301,L]
Now I need to put in a new rule to include a category string in my URL and was given this code
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/$ /category/$1/ [R]
But it's not being fired for some reason, can someone please show me how to change the above string to match the rule further up.. so I check for some condition before executing the rule?
I only need this rule to fire if the url is in the format http://www.lazygamer.net/post-name/ and not when the url is in the format http://www.lazygamer.net/category/post-name/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/category/.*$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/ /category/$1/ [R]
My htaccess file now looks like this and solves the problem
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^images.lazygamer\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(wp-content|wp-admin|wp-includes|fixed|contact-details|advertise|about|category|submission|images|ps3|xbox-360|wii|other-news|video).*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lazygamer.net/fixed/$1 [R=301,L]
The second last line ignore the root folder which kept me up all night...
Another edition to my .htaccess rewriting saga. Everything is now working to a degree but still have some issues.
I have numerous rules to move old urls to new urls, passing variables etc - however there are still a couple of things i need to add, and for the life of me cannot figure out.
I have 3 urls that are directing/rewriting as below.
1 www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php
2 www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/index.php?month=April&year=2011
3 www.mydomain.com/news/dentistry_dental/article_detail.php?article=1234&title=some-title
These are redirected & rewritten perfectly to the new urls respectively
1 www.mydomain.com/dental_news/
2 www.mydomain.com/dental_news/April-2011
3 www.mydomain.com/dental_news/1234-some-title
However... Here is the problem #1 The following urls are also redirecting as below
4 www.mydomain.com/news/it_technology/index.php?month=April&year=2011
5 www.mydomain.com/news/it_technology/article_detail.php?article=1234&title=some-title
Which are also directing to the same urls as the dental redirects
4 www.mydomain.com/dental_news/April-2011
5 www.mydomain.com/dental_news/1234-some-title
Which shouldnt be happening. The it_technology news articles have now been removed so i wish to redirect them either to my homepage with a 410 or something similar, whichever is the best option really.
My current .htaccess looks as follows.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
My only other requirement would be to add a trailing slash to the php files served ( that have allready add the .php extension removed with the last rule in my .htaccess.
I have tried numerous ways that i have found via google, but all of them cuase probelms with my other rules.
Hopefully someone can help me finish this off once and for all.

Sure is getting complicated :) Try changing these lines (I think there are 2):
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/news/dentistry_dental/
That way its only going to redirect the old dental news URLs to there respective new ones.
Trivially, your problem is the catch-all rules:
#Conditional rewrite of old news article path to new one with 301 redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} article=([0-9]*)&title=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1-%2? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} month=([^&]*)&year=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule (.*) /dental_news/%1-%2? [R=301]
Restrict them to the path you want to rewrite, i.e. replace .* with something more specific, like:
#Conditional rewrite of old news article path to new one with 301 redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} article=([0-9]*)&title=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^news/dentistry_dental/index.php$ /dental_news/%1-%2? [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dental_news/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} month=([^&]*)&year=([^&]*)$
RewriteRule ^news/dentistry_dental/index.php$ /dental_news/%1-%2? [R=301]
You can do the news/it_technology redirect as a standard redirect.
RewriteRule ^news/it_technology http://www.thepage.com/ [R=301,L]
It might technically be more correct to do a 410, but the 410 code is really optional. You might also want to make it 404, and then have a link from the 404 page to the main page.
I am trying to create a mod_rewrite rule to direct people to a sub-folder. Currently the code looks as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} abcsite.com$ [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^!www\.abcsite\.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/abc/.*$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /abc/$1 [L]
The redirect works if the user types www.abcsite.com, but not if they type abc.com. Is there something that I am missing or should do differently to make sure the user goes to the correct folder (regardless of how they type the URL)?
Side note: The htaccess file that I am dealing with is a Joomla file, so all contents of it deal with another Joomla site. I appreciate the help.
Because you have conditions for that.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} abcsite.com$ [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^!www\.abcsite\.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/abc/.*$
All above rules will pass only its abcsite.com
You add following rules also then it work for abc.com too.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} abc.com$ [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^!www\.abc\.*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/abc/.*$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /abc/$1 [L]
There's a stray ! in your second condition. A ! in front of the pattern means that the condition is true when the regex doesn't match (like in the third condition). A ! inside the pattern is just a literal symbol.
The host conditions should be something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abcsite\.com$ [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.abcsite\.com$ [NC]
And in fact, they can be joined into a single condition (note, no [OR] here):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?abcsite\.com$ [NC]
Your third condition is intended to prevent redirect loops (/foo → /abc/foo → /abc/abc/foo → …). What it says is that the rule isn't applied if the request URL starts with /abc/. However, your actual redirect is an internal redirect: if a user accesses abcsite.com/foo, the server internally rewrites this to /webroot/abc/foo, but REQUEST_URI stays the same, /foo.
The reason this doesn't cause a redirect loop as it is is likely rewrite rules in abc/.htaccess which override this one once the redirect is done.
What should be checked instead in the third condition is the path matched by the rewrite rule:
RewriteCond $1 !^abc/
RewriteRule (.*) /abc/$1 [L]
