I am dealing with following problem:
I have one main domain "example.com" and multiple subdomains:
one.example.com
two.example.com
three.example.com
etc. on server.
I have content for this subdomains in folders:
./one/ -> one.example.com
./two/ -> two.example.com
./three/ -> three.example.com
etc.
So to serve content from these folders to subdomains, I use following htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one.example.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/one/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*) /one/$1 [L]
It works fine, but my content for subdomains is also accessable from URL:
one.example.com/one/my-content
such as
one.example.com/my-content
etc. So it is duplicite.
This is one problem I need to solve.
Second is, that content for example.com is accessable from
whatever.example.com
(a.example.com, b.example.com etc.)
so again duplicite.
So my question is: how to redirect/disable URLs that are creating duplicite?
Thanks a lot, I've tried a lot of versions of code, but with no effect.
I solved this issue by redirecting all requests to a subdomain to that folder and all requests to the base domain to another, like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /one$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^two\. [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /two$1 [L]
RewriteRule (.*) /zero$1
It seems to work, but I'm having my URL modified on the browser too. How do I avoid this from happening?
For your first issue, you can add a rule, that redirects any requests to that folder and withing that directory to a page that does not exists (so that it throuws a 404 error)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^one\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^one/
RewriteRule . /notexists.html [L]
For your second issue, this should not happen since when you ask for a.example.com/folder/file.html it gets redirected internaly to a.example.com/a/folder/file.html (there is no way to get the content in the parent directory of 'a' )

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 $1 backreference in the substitution string.
That that R by itself is a temporary (302) redirect. You may want to change that to R=301 (permanent) once you have confirmed this is working OK.
I have a domain
http://www.example.biz/
I developed a site and put the code in a sub folder on this domain for example, the site is at
http://www.example.biz/site
now, I wanted to point my main domain to this folder so that when user visits example.biz he actually sees example.biz/site and for that, I added the below lines in .htaccess
RedirectMatch ^/$ /site/
it works perfectly however, the url user sees is
http://www.example.biz/site
I do not want that, I wanted user to only see http://www.example.biz as URL but this domain should point to the sub folder invisibly. How should I do that ?
Using mod_rewrite you can use the below rule, now when you access http://www.example.biz it will show the index file from for site/.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /site/ [L]
Or if you want to show every file try with below,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(/|.+)$ site/$1 [L]
I found a simpler solution,
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.biz$
RewriteRule !^site/ /site%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
After redirecting my client domain to my server i created rewrite rule in root folder .htaccess file to point domain to a subfolder1 (joomla website):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Everything worked fine but today i found out that i can access any other subfolder in my server by entering for example: myclientdomain.com/subfolder2 and what's worse google can index that and show it in search results.
If there is any way to redirect a domain in a way that I won't be able to access any other folder on my server?
I would really appreciate help as I searched throughout google for answer, my server tech support said that they don't really support these kind of problems (they only gave me a piece of code from above) and I don't really know anything about .htaccess rules and how it works.
Try this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder\/?(.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [L]
Change above rule to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?myclientdomain\.com$ [NC]
# if current URI is not starting with /subfolder/ then route to /subfolder/
RewriteRule ^((?!subfolder1/).*)$ subfolder1/$1 [L,NC]
I'm trying to redirect two kind of urls to a subdomain and all the others to my main domain.
A concrete example :
"my account" pages starting by /my-account/* and subscription page must be redirected to https://my-account.domaim.com. The uri must be kept.
all others like /news or the homepage must be seen on www.domain.com only
Here is what I have tried until now :
# All urls except my-account/* and subscription are redirected to the main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^my-account\.domain\.(.+)$
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/$1 [L,R=301]
It also works but not in combination with the other. it doesn't loop anymore but if i try something like http/www.domain.com/subscription i'm redirected to www.domain.com with the url truncated. It seems that the Rewrite conditions aren't correctly recognized but still can't find why ...
I am using the following code to redirect wildcard subdomains (*.domain.com) to their coresponding folder in /users and redirect direct requests to the /users folder to the subdomain version:
Protect Direct Access to Wildcard Domain Folders:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
Handle Wildcard Subdomain Requests:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !=www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /users/%1/$1 [L]
This code works well enough, however there are two problems that I can't seem to fix.
The below scenario seems to happen because there isn't a trailing slash on the requesting URI:
username.domain.com/sub1 => username.domain.com/users/username/sub1
username.domain.com/sub1/ => username.domain.com/sub1/
The users directory can still be accessed directly by using a subdomain:
username.domain.com/users/username/sub1 => Works and shouldn't
I'm at a loss and would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thank you!
For the problem 2, I think your first protection rule just needs to redirect all subdomains. It's redirecting www, but lets username.domain.com come through as-is.
This will redirect any direct access request to the users path.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
I think it can be a little simpler by just looking for any host ending in domain.com (which would even handle no subdomain, just domain.com) (I didn't test this....)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
For problem 1, I'm stumped too, sorry. It's acting like the trailing slash is failing the rules, so it falls through as-is. But I would expect it to do as you want it to:
username.domain.com/sub1/ => username.domain.com/users/username/sub1/
Perhaps try the %{REQUEST_URI} tag, instead of trying to capture .*. I don't see the difference, but maybe it'll help.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !=www [NC]
RewriteRule .* /users/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
