I have a site with a folder, and a htaccess file within that folder. For the index.php file within that folder, I want to rewrite the querystring for a certain parameter, so that typing in this URL:
www.example.com/myfolder/myparameter
Behaves like this (ie makes $_GET['parameter'] = 'myparameter' in my code)
www.example.com/myfolder/index.php?parameter=myparameter
I have looked at many questions on StackOverflow, but have not managed to get this working. My code so far is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %0 [QSA]
But that just isn't working at all.
Please use this code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) index\.php?parameter=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (^.*/)([^/]+)$ $1index\.php?parameter=$2 [L,QSA]
update
sorry use #somasundaram's answer. Per-directory .htaccess rewrite rules lose the directory prefix:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific directory) is automatically removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and automatically added after any relative (not starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a rule set. See the RewriteBase directive for more information regarding what prefix will be added back to relative substitutions.
(from the apache docs)

I want to redirect via .htaccess
https://www.example.co/en/brand/Abc to https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc
I have tried
RewriteRule ^https://www.example.co/en/brand/Abc https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
The RewriteRule pattern (1st argument to the RewriteRule directive) matches against the path-part of the URL only, ie. /en/brand/Abc. An additional complication in per-directory .htaccess files is that the URL-path that is matched is also less the directory prefix (which always starts with a slash), so the URL-path does not start with a slash. In other words: en/brand/Abc (for an .htaccess file in the document root).
So, you will need to format the directive like this instead:
RewriteRule ^en/brand/Abc$ https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
(Assuming you already have RewriteEngine On defined and that this is near the top of your .htaccess file.)
Reference:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
You may try something like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Don't want loops
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/abc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /Abc
RewriteRule . https://www.example.co/en/brand/abc [R=301,L]
URL are usually case-sensitive. Check this document, while domain names are not. Therefore "abc" and "Abc" are not the same and that's what the question is about. I think.
I am making a website builder an I would like to make urls prettier.
The url would be for example:
https://ccc-bb.example.com => https://example.com/project/show/ccc/bb
This is my .htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# prevents files starting with dot to be viewed by browser
RewriteRule /\.|^\.(?!well-known/) - [F]
# front controller
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\-(.*)$ https://example.com/project/show/$1/$2 [L]
When I use above (https://ccc-bb.example.com) it sends me to the subdomain empty folder. The folder has only the .htaccess file.
What am I missing? I've never edited an .htaccess file and Google didn't help me (or I don't know what should I looking for).
Your first rule for dotfiles is okay but would be better the other way around, since the second part can only match the start, but the first can only match in subdirectories.
RewriteRule ^\.(?!well-known/)|/\. - [F]
Your other rule's problem is that you are expecting it to match the subdomain. RewriteRules do not operate on the entire string you see in your browser's address bar, only the path part, and in .htaccess they see even less as the leading directory is stripped off, too. To access the info you want, use a RewriteCond:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^-]++)-([^-.]++)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(?!project/show/).* project/show/%1/%2/$0 [L,DPI]
(You don't need to include \.example\.com$ if your main domain contains no hyphens.)
I'm not sure what's wrong. I use massively rewrite on to domain with various rules with no problem, now here on subdomain the rewritten result point wrong data.
The space is accessible from multiple domains, and I want to switch by hostname to specific subfolder for CSS contents:
RewriteEngine on
# - - - shared space / multiple css.*.tld subdomains - - -
# domain 1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.firstdomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ fir/$1
# domain 2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.seconddomain2\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ sec/$1
# *.min.css -> scss.php?file=*
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.min\.css$ scss.php?scss=$1 [QSA]
#
First there are rules to rewrite universal /css/ path to path specific for files for that host, then last line should change *.min.css to scss.php?scss=$1 - so it send the file /without the extension .min.css/ as parameter to php file which then searches for that file with .scss extension to check last modified and either return cached or recompile the source scss file to cached css file
Now I'd expect when I enter: http://css.firstdomain.com/css/first/first.min.css
should rewrite to: http://css.firstdomain.com/scss.php?file=fir/first/first.min.css
but it rewrites to: http://css.firstdomain.com/scss.php?file=fir/first/first.min.css/first/first
So it rewrites it like almost twice for some reason. What might be the reason for this?
There will be problem of some kind with the firs part as entering straight http://css.firstdomain.com/fir/first/first.min.css
rewrites to correct (scss.php?file=fir/first/first).
Oooh found it! I missed the [L] (last) flag after rules for each domain, now it works like it should
For completeness, here is the code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^css\.firstdomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^css/(.*)$ fir/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.min\.css$ scss.php?scss=$1 [QSA,L]
I want to do a simple redirect so that a request for app/scans/large/as89q6dfa.jpg results in app/scans/medium/as89q6dfa.jpg, etc. The trouble is that this app will be used on a few domains with different base paths. The code I've tried keeps rewriting to the absolute base path of the site and the app is actually a variable number of folders deep on the site. Is there a generalized way to do a redirect like this, without hard-coding the base path?
Here's my file and folder scructure:
app/.htaccess
app/scans/large
app/scans/medium
So the .htaccess rules should work for:
includes/app/scans/large
inc/app/scans/large
script/engine/app/scans/large
Here's my first attempt:
RedirectMatch 301 scans/large/(.*) scans/medium//$1
Here's my second attempt:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^scans/large/(.*) scans/medium/$1 [R=301,L]
When you use the "^" caracter it means that the regex will search for the string "scans/large" in the BEGINNING of the URL.
So as the base is "/", it won't work on "includes/app/scans/large/omg" because "scans" it's not in the beginning of the string.
Try this solution:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*)scans/large/(.*) $1scans/medium/$2 [R=301,L]
It worked perfectly with the URL:
http://www.example.com/includes/app/scans/large/omg
That redirects to:
http://www.example.com/includes/app/scans/medium/omg
You can do more tests on it here: link
You can actually get RewriteBase be determined dynamically.
RewriteEngine On
# determine BASE dynamically
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(.*?/)(.*)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^scans/large/(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}scans/medium/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
Using htaccess Rewrite, I want my url http://*.phoneataxi.com/ (where * is a wildcard, excluding 'www') to show in the address bar as is but get information from http://*.phoneataxi.com/test.php?c=*.
I have tried so many different things but nothing is doing exactly what I need. Most examples are redirecting the subdomain to the '/test.php' file in the address bar which I don't want to do.
I'm trying not to have to create individial subdomains and subdomain folders within my webroot.
Ideas?
I use this htaccess file to make Apache act as a proxy for another host:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ghost\.pileborg\.se$
RewriteRule (.*) http://vps.pileborg.se/ghost/$1 [P]
</IfModule>
It causes all access to http://ghost.pileborg.se/ to be "redirected" to http://vps.pileborg.se/ghost/.
UPDATE (2020)
Some of the answers regarding this topic is very old and no longer work as expected.
After searching for hours on something that actually works, this is what I came up with; edit as you see fit:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z0-9]+)\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{ENV:BASE}/index.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}/index.php [L,NC,QSA]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{ENV:BASE}/index.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}/index.html [L,NC,QSA]
Breakdown
Make sure that the rewrite module is installed and enabled on your host
first we turn the rewrite engine on and set the path-base
then isolate the subdomain - any letters/numbers before the first dot
set a variable in this runtime environment that contains the subdomain
check if the subdomain folder and index-file exists
if it does exist -then use that file as the request-handler (no redirect)
if it does not exist then the request carries on normally
Flags
The flags used here are explained here, but the ones used above are quite simple:
[L] Last rule, ignore the rest
[NC] No Case, no uppercase/lowercase restrictions
[QSA] I remember this as "Query String Attach" :D
