In the app I'm working at the moment, I need to dynamically create subdomains. That would be quite trivial if I knew what was the domain I need to redirect to.
The point is that I can have many domains pointing to the same server and each may have many subdomains and I want a htaccess that can handle it.
For example: domain1.com, domain1.com.br, domain2.com, domain2.co.uk can all be pointing to my server. When a user tries to access sub.domain1.com, I want it to be transparently redirected (no 301 redirect) to domain1.com. If he tries to access sub.domain1.com.br, I want it to be transparently redirected to domain1.com.br and so on (note that both redirects would point to the exact same point, the only difference would be in the address bar).
By now, I tried unsuccessfully to make changes in the lines that redirect from www. to non-www domains, but nothing worked as expected:
//This works
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
//This ends with a "too many redirections" error
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)$ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,QSA]
Can someone help?
Try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.([^.]{4,})\.([a-z]{3,4}|[a-z]{2,3}\.[a-z]{2}|[a-z]{2})$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%2.%3/$1 [L,R=301]
This should cover all of these:
domain1.com
domain1.com.br
domain2.co.uk
domain3.es
domain4.info

this is kinda an odd one:
I need my site to do two things (one of which is already working):
if a user tried to access the domain via HTTP:// it is replaced with https:// - this is for SEO in google and to make the user feel more secure -
the site folder that is used to load the website needs to be the subdomain folder of the site
Oddly the second part of this is working and I figured out - however I'm not sure how to merge these two requests:
HTACCSESS
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^trippy\.co\.nz$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.trippy\.co\.nz$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !update.trippy.co.nz/
RewriteRule (.*) /update.trippy.co.nz/$1 [L]
But I'm not sure how to make the site display as
https://trippy.co.nz/
I have tried:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} update\.trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://update.trippy.co.nz/$1 [R,L]
but then the web address displays as: https://update.trippy.co.nz
and I need to remain as https://trippy.co.nz/
Any help here would really great and I know its a odd situation to be in.
THanks,
Wally
...but then the web address displays as: https://update.trippy.co.nz
You would seem to be redirecting to the subdomain itself, not the subdomain's subdirectory, as you appear to be doing in the first rule. You may also be putting the directives in the wrong order - the external redirect needs to go first - otherwise you are going to expose the subdomain's subdirectory, which does not appear to be the intention.
Try the following instead:
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
# Rewrite all requests to the subdomain's subdirectory
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?trippy\.co\.nz [NC]
RewriteRule !^update\.trippy\.co\.nz/ /update.trippy.co.nz%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
No need for the extra condition in the 2nd rule block, as the check can be performed directly in the RewriteRule and use the REQUEST_URI server variable instead of the $1 backreference in the substitution string.
That that R by itself is a temporary (302) redirect. You may want to change that to R=301 (permanent) once you have confirmed this is working OK.
I'm trying to redirect some domains correctly using the htaccess file. Here is what I got:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^special.com$
RewriteRule (.*) https://website.com/some-special-page [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^website.com$
RewriteRule (.*) https://website.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Why is special.com also redirecting to website.com and not to website.com/some-special-page ?
The overall redirect for all the other domains is working fine, however I can't figure out how to have this special case work (and not be overwritten by the second rule. Thanks in advance!
My host automatically sets up subdomains for all our hosted websites. So that zzz-thewebsite.myhosting.com is the same files as www.thewebsite.com ...
Unfortunately, somehow google has indexed the subdomains and now I probably have duplicate content.
I'd like to remove the subdomains from the index. I'm not sure the best way to do it.
I was thinking a .htaccess file that redirects zzz-thewebsite.myhosting.com to www.thewebsite.com would probably do the trick. Of course, there are subfolders involved as well.
Is there an elegant solution for this? I suppose a robots.txt might also do it but that will be in the both the zzz-thewebsite.myhosting.com and www.thewebsite.com "sites" since they are the same physical folder on the hosting.
Thank you.
Ben's answer below works great for me on non https sites but is not working for an https site. What I am using is this:
#attempt to redirect subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thewebsite-zzz.myhosting.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.thewebsite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NC,L,QSA]
#https only
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
#www only
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^thewebsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.thewebsite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
Setting up a permanent redirect is a preferred way.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^zzz-thewebsite.myhosting.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.thewebsite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NC,L,QSA]
First of all, please don't mark this question as duplicate because I've tried all other answers and no one works for me. I have a subdomain called account.domain.com and this is the code in my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I want to redirect visits from domain.com to www.domain.com, this works fine. The problem comes when I access the subdomain account.subdomain.com and it redirects to www.account.subdomain.com/account/.php... I don't know why.
I've tested a lot of different codes but I get the same result. My site is hosted in a free account in Hostinger.es.
If you want to target only main domain then use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
I'm trying to redirect two kind of urls to a subdomain and all the others to my main domain.
A concrete example :
"my account" pages starting by /my-account/* and subscription page must be redirected to https://my-account.domaim.com. The uri must be kept.
all others like /news or the homepage must be seen on www.domain.com only
Here is what I have tried until now :
# All urls except my-account/* and subscription are redirected to the main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-account\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^my-account/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^subscription$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.%1/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
# subscription page is redirected to my-account subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^subscription$ https://my-account.domain.%1/subscription[L,QSA,R=301]
# All my-account/* pages are redirected to my-account subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^my-account/(.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/my-account/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Each rules work independently but if i try all of them together i'm stuck in an infinite loop.
Is anyone have an idea how to prevent it ?
The rules look fine, but you have a missing space in your 2nd rule:
RewriteRule ^subscription$ https://my-account.domain.%1/subscription[L,QSA,R=301]
# -----------------------------------------------------------------^
But you can probably combine them into a single rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(subscription|my-account/.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
Also make sure you're clearing your cache when you test, as 301 redirects are permanent and the browser will cache them.
Thanks for your answer !
The typos was from my copy/paste and the combination works but doesn't change anything to the problem with the other rules. I keep it for later ;)
I tried a reversed rules like this :
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^my-account\.domain\.(.+)$ [NC]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subscription$ [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/my-account/ [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://my-account.domain.%1/$1 [L,R=301]
It also works but not in combination with the other. it doesn't loop anymore but if i try something like http/www.domain.com/subscription i'm redirected to www.domain.com with the url truncated. It seems that the Rewrite conditions aren't correctly recognized but still can't find why ...
