So I have a kind of strange trouble. I have a rewrite rule from
mysite.com/brand.php?brand=example&ref=ex1
to
mysite.com/brand/example/ex1
And I managed to do that, but there is also another problem: when you type this:
mysite.com/brand/example/ex1.html
or
mysite.com/brand/example/ex1.php
I get this:
mysite.com/brand/example/ex1?ref=ex1.php&brand=example
Can anyone tell why I get this redirect and how to get rid of it?
I tried this:
RedirectMatch ^brand/([A-Za-z0-9-\.\_]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-\.\_]+)php$ /brand/$1/$2
or this:
RedirectMatch ^brand/([A-Za-z0-9-\.\_]+)/([A-Za-z0-9-\.\_]+)\.php$ /brand/$1/$2
but it simply doesn't work.
Please, anyone help me!
I would use the mod_rewrite for this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/brand.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^brand=([^&]+&ref=(.+)$
RewriteRule .* /brand/%1/%2? [L,R]
The RewriteRule is applied only when both RewriteCond are valid. The first RewriteCond compares the request URL to be /brand.php, the second matches regular expression against the query string and stores the matches in %1 and %2 respectively.
In the RewriteRule is the URL rewritten using the matched parts from query string.

I would like to redirect
pins?board=10000011
to
view_photos.php?album=10000011
10000011 being an id that is dynamic, therefore the no clue in the title of this question, do not know how to grab that and use inside a rewrite rule.
have tried with:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z-0-9-_.]+)/pins?board= $1/view_photos.php?album=$2
it seems I obviously don't know exactly what I'm doing so I'm asking for help.
You can't match against the query string in a rewrite rule. You need to use the %{QUERY_STRING} var in a rewrite condition:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^board=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/?([A-Za-z-0-9-_.]+)/pins$ /$1/view_photos.php?album=%1 [L,R=301]
What i'm trying to do is rewrite the following pattern
http://example.org/path?articleid=5657
to this pattern:
http://example.org/path?p=5657
Essentially it comes down to changing the key to the url parameter, i have searched extensively with no clear example of how to do this exact thing using only htaccess rewrite rules.
i've tried this general approach with no luck
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^articleid=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^articleid=([0-9]*)$ /?p=$1 [R=301,L]
You can't match against the query string in the pattern of a rule, you need to match against the URI:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^articleid=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^path$ /path?p=$1 [R=301,L]
I'm struggling with an Apache rewriterule. I need to do the following:
Redirect permanently:
http://domain.com/folder/viewer/data/settings.xml?prevent_cache=4760
to
http://domain.com/siteid/includes/themes/siteid/swfs/viewer/data/settings.xml?prevent_cache=4760
I've got the code below, it works without the url parameters but I can't seem to get it to work with parameters. Am i missing something?
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^prevent_cache=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^/folder/viewer/data/settings.xml$ http://domain.com/siteid/includes/themes/siteid/swfs/viewer/data/settings.xml [R=301,L]
Cheers

The only error I can see, is the leading slash / in the RewriteRule pattern. This should be
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^prevent_cache=[0-9]*$
RewriteRule ^folder/viewer/data/settings.xml$ /siteid/includes/themes/siteid/swfs/viewer/data/settings.xml [R,L]
You don't need to append the query string to the substitution URL, because this is done autmoatically.
When everything works as you expect, you can change R to R=301. Never test with 301 enabled, see this answer Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules for details.
I can. Here are the rewrite condition and rule that you're looking for:
# once per htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} prevent_cache=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^folder/viewer/data/settings.xml http://domain.com/siteid/includes/themes/siteid/swfs/viewer/data/settings.xml?prevent_cache=%1 [R=301,L]
But please considered this answer about the [R=301] flag: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15999177/2007055
I want to redirect the url http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos.php?q=my-tuto/tuto-1.html to
http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos/my-tuto/tuto-1.html, how to do that with a .htaccess ?
I tried this, but it's don't working... :
RewriteRule ^http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/([^-]*)$ http://www.mywebsite.com/tutos/tutos.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
Thanks !
The rule that you have seems to be doing the opposite of what you say that you want. It's redirecting the non-query-string URL to the query-string URL. But if that's what you want, you need to remove the host and protocol from the regular expression. Only the URI (sans query string) is used to match against in a RewriteRule:
RewriteRule ^tutos/([^-]*)$ /tutos/tutos.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
But if you wanted it the other way around like you had asked:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*)(^|&)q=([^&]+)(.*)
RewriteRule ^tutos/tutos.php$ /tutos/%2?%1%3 [L,R=301]
I need to redirect
/search?keywords=somesearchterm
to
/search/somesearchterm
This seems incredibly basic but I've been pounding my head against it for an hour.
Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
You want to implement what is called a "301 Redirect" with mod_rewrite.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=somesearchterm$ /search/somesearchterm
adding regular expressions:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search\?keywords=(.+) /search/$1 [R=301,L]
R=301 means provide a 301 Header redirect so the user's URL changes in the browser, and L means don't process any more rewrite rules if this one matches.
If you want to do the reverse -- in other words, if someone goes to mysite.com/search/asearchterm and you want the URL to stay the same, but "behind the scenes" you want it to load a certain server script, do this:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^/search/(.+) /search.php\?keywords=$1 [L]
You can not match aginst Query string in RewriteRule directive. Use %{THE_REQUEST} or %{QUERY_STRING} server variables to match the Query string :
The following rule works fine for this redirection
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/search\?kewords=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /search/%1? [NE,NC,R,L]
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/?$ /search?keyword=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
