If a subdomain isn't in my URL (or its "www") I'm trying to force an underscore as the subdomain. I went round in circles yesterday trying to understand this, here's what I have so far:-
Rule #1.
Remove file extensions - works, until I add rule 2 to .htaccess.
Options -Multiviews
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
Rule #2
If there is no subdomain present automatically use an _ eg: _.mysite.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://_.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
Rule 2 works, but it's adding the .php back onto the end of the filename?
I've tried moving the "_" rule above the extension rule but it doesnt make a difference.
Would be greatful for any help =)
To remove ".php" extension on second rule you have to add ".php" as a optional parameter:
RewriteRule ^(.*)(\.php)|(.*)$ http://_.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$3 [L,R=301]
This way, no matter your URI have ".php" or not your request will always be redirected without ".php" extension.

I have...
| .htaccess : (v1)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
So, /in --is-really--> /login.php
This much works great. We all can learn how to do this from: .htaccess redirect with alias url
But, I want it to also work in reverse...
If someone should enter /login.php into the address bar, I want it to change to /in.
So also, /login.php --rewrites-to--> /in
From this Answer to a different Question, I want to be ready for anything, using REQUEST_URI. So, my .htaccess file starts with this...
| .htaccess : (v2)
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)index\.php(/|$) /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
That also works great.
But now, I want to add this rule (my Question here) for /in <--> /login.php both ways, just how / <--> /index.php already works with .htaccess (v2). So, I adopted the settings and added a second rule...
| .htaccess : (v3) —not working!
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)index\.php(/|$) /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php, and also redirect back to it
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?login\.php
RewriteRule (^|/)login\.php(/|$) /%1in [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php
...but then /in and /login.php both cause an infinite redirect loop.
What's the right way to do this, still using REQUEST_URI, and still having both rewrite rules (for index.php and for login.php)?

Reason of redirect loop is a missing RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ before first redirect rule that removes index.php. Remember that RewriteCond is applicable to immediate next RewriteRule only.
Suggested .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
# Remove index.php, if a user adds it to the address
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
# "in" --> login.php, and also redirect back to it
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.+/)?login\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1in [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^in?$ login.php [L,NC]
It won't cause redirect loop because after first rewrite to /login.php, variable REDIRECT_STATUS will become 200 and then the RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$ will stop redirect looping.
Thanks to the help from the user with the correct answer, I found that...
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
...doesn't go in .htaccess only once, but every time on the line before...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ...
I'm trying to create a sitemap for my multistore magento website. So each shop-view has it's own sitemap. Therefore I have made
sitemap/store_en/sitemap.xml
sitemap/store_de/sitemap.xml
sitemap/store_nl/sitemap.xml
What I'm trying to achieve is to redirect on request of mydomain.nl/sitemap.xml to mydomain.nl/sitemap/store_nl/sitemap.xml
This I have put in my htaccess file. But this doesn't work. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
##rewrite rule for de sitemaps
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*mydomain.nl$
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ /sitemap/store_nl/sitemap.xml [NC]
I have another rewrite rule. I don't know if it is of any influence...
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)\.(html|shtml|php)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R=301]
Thanks in advance!
Directives for mod_rewrite are read and processed from the top to the bottom. In your case you had the redirect in the top. This rules matches (sitemap.xml is not a file, or a directory, does not end with a slash, html, shtml or php). You add an extra slash to it, and redirect the request.
Now a new request comes in for /sitemap.xml/. The first rule does not match (ends with slash) and the second rule does not match (request does not end with xml, but with xml/). You serve a 404 error.
When switching the rules, the url (/sitemap.xml) is matched against the first rule, and matches. It is now rewritten. On the second pass the first rule does not match, and the second rule does not match (valid file).
This is my current .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/khp/handler.php
RewriteRule (.*) /khp/handler.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
The desired result is for all urls, no matter whether or not they exist on the server, to be rewritten internally to /khp/handler.php?url=$1, where $1 is the original url.
What is currently happening is when I go to a url that is the name of an existing folder, it does this:
Requested url: example.com/khp
Redirects to: example.com/khp/?url=
Ideally, it would also redirect to remove all trailing slashes (ALL, whether an existing directory, the bare domain name example.com, etc). This was in a previous iteration of my htaccess file, but I removed it because it was creating an infinite redirect loop on example.com/khp
What am I doing wrong?
That happens because /khp is a real directory and mod_dir runs after mod_rewrite and adds a trailing slash in the rewritten URI.
To turn this behavior off use:
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# everything
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/khp/handler.php
RewriteRule (.*) /khp/handler.php?url=$1 [L,QSA]
# add a trailing slash to directories via a rule
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*?[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L,R=302]
On a site I'm working on, if you enter the url, plus 1 directory, the htaccess adds a trailing slash.
So, this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts
Becomes this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts/
The htaccess that runs the site is quite long and complex, so it's not easy to find or test which rule is causing the rewrite. I was able to track down the issue to this line of code (I think):
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Does this rule match the behavior I'm describing above? It seems to be the cause, but it doesn't make logical sense to me. I don't unsderstand where the trailing slash is coming from.
Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.
Edit: MORE:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
By default apache will add the ending /, you will have to use:
DirectorySlash Off
To disable that behavior which is caused by mod_dir, you can read more about it here.
However if you're trying to remove the / to fix images not showing. That is not the right way to do it, you should instead use the HTML base tag, for example:
<BASE href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">
Read more here about it.
Your current rule as you have updated on your question:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Means:
if domain on the URL is only mysite.com
redirect current URL to domain with www.
So an example of it would be, if you access:
http://domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
It will redirect the user to:
http://www.domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
Note how it retains everything and only add the www. to the domain.
If you really want to redirect it regardless here is one way to do it:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# check if it is a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
# check if the ending `/` is missing and redirect with slash
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
# if file or directory does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and we still want to append the `/` at the end
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Preface
I'm trying to re-write a URL for a profile page. All of my application pages have a .html extension, so I'm trying to match just letters, numbers, -, and ..
So these would be valid
site.com/steve
site.com/steve-robbins
site.com/steve.robbins
But these wouldn't be
site.com/steve.html
site.com/steve-robbins.php
Assume I have a check in place so that custom URLs don't have .html or .php on the end.
Problem
I'm currently using this but it's not working
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+)$ profile.php?url=$1 [L]
It should set url to steve, but it's setting it to profile.php
What am I doing wrong?
My complete .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
#
# LOGIN
#
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]{255})/activate\.html$ login.php?activate=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^logout\.html$ login.php?logout [L]
#
# SETTINGS
#
RewriteRule ^change-([a-z]+)\.html$ account-settings.php?$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9\.-]+)$ profile.php?url=$1 [L]
# SEO friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.html$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)\.php$ $1.html [R=301]
Add this to the top of your rules (under the RewriteBase / directive):
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
That should stop it from looping. The rewrite engine will keep re-applying all the rules until the URI going in (sans query string) is the same as the URI that comes out of the rules. That's why the value of url is profile.php.
I'm kind of a beginner in interpreting mod_rewrite rules but if I understand it correctly your rule is matched and than matched again, either add something to the url matching scheme like /profile/user or add a condition to not redirect if already redirected
Try adding a leading slash to the redirect like this:
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+)$ /profile.php?url=$1 [L]
The reason you're getting a url value of profile.php is because the [L] flag is kinda misleading when it comes to the .htaccess file. In the server config files it does exactly what you'd think, but in the .htaccess file it stops reading rules at that rule, but then goes through the rules again until path is unchanged by any of the rules. By adding the leading /, your rule will not match the second time around as you exclude / from the regex. I spent a while struggling with this feature myself.
