I'm trying to change this URL:
domain.com/?ACT=52&id=28
to this one:
domain.com/site.html
I want to replace the last segment ?ACT=52&id=28 to site.html. There are no parameters to consider. The URL domain.com/?ACT=52&id=28 will always be the same.
Try putting this in the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ACT=52&id=28$
RewriteRule ^/?$ /site.html [L]
This makes it so when someone goes to domain.com/?ACT=52&id=28, they get served the content at domain.com/site.html, but if you to change the URL that's in the browser's URL address bar, you need to REDIRECT, not internally rewrite, so add the redirect flag in the square brackets: [L,R]

I am trying to use the .htacces file to redirect any files or subfolders in a derectory to one file, while still maintaining the original URL input.
So if a user goes to:
https://example.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/
or
https://example.com/folder1/folder2/file.php
it would redirect them back to:
https://example.com/folder1/index.php
but the original URL input would not change.
You can use RewriteRule . In htaccess in the document root add the following rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder1/index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder1/.+$ /folder1/index.php [L]
This will redirect /folder1/foo/bar to /folder1/index.php without changing the url in browser.
The RewriteCond above makes sure you don't rewrite /folder1/index.php to itself (/folder1/index.php) otherwise the rule can cause an infinite loop error.
You can just make :
RedirectMatch 301 ^https://example.com/folder1/ https://example.com/folder1/index.php
This allows you to redirect from the first url in the pattern to the
second one
I have searched but cannot find a specific answer for this exact redirect style...
I have this structure of URL with this specific parameter:
https://websitename.com/directory/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
I want it redirected to:
https://websitename.com/shopping-cart/
Note that the above mentioned "directory" changes, but the index.php with the parameters stay the same. No matter what the directory is, I always want it to go to the same exact redirect.
I cannot seem to get the right redirect working in htaccess. Can anyone help?
You can use this redirect rule as your first rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(?:index\.php)?\?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /shopping-cart/? [L,R=308]
# remaining rules go below this
You can use a set like this. It takes care on the param view=cart
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)view=cart
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shopping-cart/? [L,NC,R=301]
If you want to keep the querystring params, then change
/shopping-cart/?
to
/shopping-cart/
without questionmark
I recently with the help of SO solved my htaccess rewriterule issue:
Reuse subdomain in a rewrite rule
The result is that when somebody enters
whatever.example.com/anypage
in the adress bar, the htaccess automatically redirects to
whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/anypage
What I wish to do is to find a way to just show whatever.example.com/anypage in the adress bar with the content of whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/anypage displayed.
In the post I mentioned earlier, Jon Lin clearly mentions the following:
redirects always change what's in the browser's URL address bar
However I know some very frequent cases of url rewritting that would show in the adress bar let's say, for instance:
example.com/article-1-15
but actually showing the content of
example.com/somepath/somepage.php?article=1&otherparam=15
How could this apply to my case? I really wish to have a tiny url but it seems I missed something.
You may try something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)$
RewriteRule .* http://whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/%1 [L]
It will map:
http://whatever.example.com/anypage
To a resource at:
http://whatever.example.com/somepath/whatever/anypage
showing always in the browser's address bar:
http://whatever.example.com/anypage
UPDATED
If whatever is dynamic and is the same in the substitution URI, here is another option:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^/]+)\.example\.com.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)$
RewriteRule .* http://%1.example.com/somepath/%1/%2 [L]
This will work as long as both "whatever" in the substitution path are the same. If they are not, the last "whatever" has to be hardcoded, like this:
RewriteRule .* http://%1.example.com/somepath/whatever/%2 [L]
There is no other way as the incoming URL doesn't have it.
My original url is : www.site.com/report.cgi?d=2012-05
Requested URL: www.site.com/report-2012-05.cgi
My Htaccess Code:*
RewriteRule ^report([^/]*)\.cgi$ /report.php?d=$1 [L]
I want to restrict the request parameter to just XXXX-XX number format in GET url.
How can I do this ?
I didn't really understand your question, except you want to modify the URL format placing the parameter value in a different position.
The best way to do it is by capturing the query string like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} d=(.*)
The value inside the round brackets is the parameter value (2012-05), which can be back referenced with %1. For example:
RewriteRule .* report-%1.cgi [L]
Will rewrite the URL with /report-2012-05.cgi
Hope this helps.
I think you need to remove .cgi from your rewrite rule
For www.site.com/report-xxxx-xx
RewriteRule ^report-([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]<br>
For www.site.com/xxxx-xx
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /report.cgi?d=$1 [L]
There is plenty of information out there but nothing I've read on the interwebz has given me an answer as to why my htaccess is not working.
I cannot determine why my rule isn't rewriting the URL as I thought it would. I have the following url:
domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123&bookName=foo_bar
I would like to change it so that when someone hits that URL, it shows like:
domain.com/Book/123/foo_bar
I started off trying to get it to work using just the Book ID and haven't even gotten that to work.
This is what I have thus far:
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2
However, after placing that htaccess in the root of the site and going to the URL:
domain.com/Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=123
The URL in the address bar remains the same.
try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123 or domain.com/Book/123/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
# this rewrite domain.com/Book/123/title or domain.com/Book/123/title/
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)/([a-z0-9\-_]+)/?$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$1&bookName=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
Try adding [L,R=301] at the end of the line:
RewriteRule ^Book/([0-9]+)$ /Book/bookpage/index.php?bookID=$2 [L,R=301]
