I'd like to set a redirect (preferably with RewriteCond) so that if the requested file is index.php regardless of directory, it will be redirected to another site.
So visiting /index.php or/files/index.php or /stuff/index.php (etc.) will all redirect you to another domain.
Here is a general way to do it. This rule set should be placed in the .htaccess file in the root directory:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index\.php/? [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://otherdomain.com/ [R=301,L]
Redirects permanently any URL that holds index.php in any position, like
http://mydomain.com/index.php or
http://mydomain.com/any/folder/quantity/index.php or
http://mydomain.com/any/folder/quantity/index.php/any/folder/quantity/
To
http://otherdomain.com/
That's it. You don't explain much so nothing is passed to the other domain, just as you say in your question:
...redirected to another site.
These rules should do it (when placed inside /.htaccess file):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (?:^|/)index\.php$ http://otherdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

I have a folder export that is accessible to all my subdomains:
/export/sub1/...
/export/sub2/...
/export/sub3/...
Right now, regardless of what subdomain you're on, you can see all of the content by changing the directory in the url.
It's not a security issue, but more of a canonicalization concern, but I'd like to use an .htaccess file to rewrite the folders so people see a modified path that matches up with their subdomain:
sub1.domain.tld/export/... is served from /export/sub1/...
sub2.domain.tld/export/... is served from /export/sub2/...
sub3.domain.tld/export/... is served from /export/sub3/...
How can I do this?
You can use this generic rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?!www\.)([^.]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?export/(.*)$ /export/%1/$1 [L,NC]
I know how to use .htaccess to forward everything in one domain to a new domain name. But in this case, I want everything from one domain to go to a specific .html page on a different domain. That's where I'm lost. I'm trying the following but it just redirects to a folder and the page in question is in that folder but obviously, I don't want people seeing the contents of that folder. Make any sense? So example.com needs to go to yyy.com/some-page.html
This is what I'm currently using:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.1.yyy.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Try:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (www\.)?5\.xxxx\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html [R,L]
You can also put a blank index.html page to the directory in question to mask its contents or
you can put index.php file with this code <? header ("location: http://www.1.yyy.com/some-page.html"); ?> that will redirect a user to the desired page.
$1 is a place holder for the 1st pattern match. So if you are rewriting domaina.com/someurl/, it is attempting to load domainb.com/someurl/. Swap the $1 with the actual page --- e.g. somepage.html and it should work. But unless both of these domains are pointing to the same files/directories, the rule seems a bit overcomplicated.
So how about just a simple redirect?
Try this in your .htaccess file.
redirect 301 / http://somesite.com/somepage.html
OR you can try this.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://somesite.com/somepage.html [R=301,L]
It does work and you can test my RewriteRule below.

There must be something else going on.
my domain name is www.hangings.com.au where as the project is hosted inside the folder named hangings so I need to enter something as www.hangings.com.au/hangings
Can anyone tell me how can I rewrite htaccess file so that it will show the content hosted in www.hangings.com.au/hangings when someone enters as www.hangings.com.au in their browser.
I tried something like the below
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.hangings.com.au/$1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.hangings.com.au/hangings$ [L,R=301]
but I am getting a browser error "This Website has a Redirection Loop"
The redirect loop is because of www.hangings.com.au/hangings matches also the condition.
If it's enough for you, that calls to www.hangings.com.au/ are redirected to the subfolder, an nor deeper structure, the following should be enough.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /hangings [R]
I want to make it so that if a visitor navigates to:
http://www.website.com/folder
They get redirected to:
http://www.website.com/FOLDER
It is only for this specific folder that I want to affect (or intend to).
I have tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /FOLDER/
RewriteRule ^folder(/.*)?$ /FOLDER$1 [L,R=301]
But I don't think that is right
In the htaccess file in your document root,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder(/.*)?$ /FOLDER$1 [L,R=301]
should be good enough. You don't need the rewrite base but I don't think that'll affect it.
I have a subdomain code.domain.com that redirects to domain.com/code
I want to redirect for example: code.domain.com/hello/world.html to domain.com/code/?path=hello/world.html
This is what I have so far:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^code/(.+)$ http://domain.com/code/?path=$1
But I am not sure what is wrong with it, it doesn't seem to work.
Thanks.
Use these rules in the root directory htaccess file (not the code directory) (you can also point the code.domain.com to the root directory instead if you want) :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^code.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /code/?path=$1
