I have an "addon domain" with no specified htaccess file but the main site (of which the add on site is a sub dir) DOES have htaccess which rewrites url to remove the .html prefix.
Anyhow when i go to the addon domain for instance: test.com/about.html it automatically changes to test.com/test.com/about.html
Can anyone point me in the direction to correct this?
If there is no htaccess file with modRewrite in it in a directory, apache goes up to the parent directory to search for it, and this goes up along the tree (this is not affected by having an addon domain or not). So that means that your addon domain is affected by the htaccess file of the parent domain.
What you need to do is create an htaccess file in the subdirectory (the addon domain) and desactivate rewriting :
RewriteEngine Off
Or you can add your own RewriteRules if you want.

I've tried to add the item below in .htaccess(wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.37\conf) and enabled Use URL Rewriting in Joomla however when I try to type abc.com in search engine address bar it will still redirect me to search page instead of redirecting me to the website. I've also performed checking and confirmed that .htaccess file is readable, the webpage is work when go to https://www.abc.co m however redirection still not work. I just need the page to redirect from http://abc.co m to https://www.abc.co m Is there any other way to do it? Or I'm doing it wrongly?? Please help.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^abc.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.abc.co m/$1 [L,R=301]
The redirect itself works great. The issue is where you've put the file.
.htaccess files are meant to be in the root folder and sub-directories of your website, not in the config files for Apache. Think of them as configuration files the server will find on-the-fly as it serves up documents, not static configurations loaded when the server starts (which are found in the "conf" folder you referred to). (See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html)
For WAMP, the root folder is typically a folder called "www" and is normally located at c:/wamp/www. See Where is the web server root directory in WAMP? More commonly, though, this folder is called "public_html" (such as with LAMP, XAMP, MAMP, or default Apache installs).
Ok, since a subdomain has to point to a real place, I created the subdomain pra.aquizone.net to point to aquizone.net/blogs/links/pra. The Wordpress (WP) Multi-site (MU) that I want to point to is aquizone.net/blogs/pra where that directory is virtually handled by the WP MU and the .htaccess under aquizone.net/blogs.
I am assuming that I can change the .htaccess file under aquizone.net/blogs/link/pra to point to aquizone.net/blogs/pra and have the subdomain wind up resulting at aquizone.net/blogs/pra. Only everything I have tried does not work. Here is my currect .htaccess file:
# Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pra.*$ http://aquilone.me/blogs/pra/ [R=301,L]
The AddHandler was placed there by the subdomain creation and taking it out or leaving it makes no difference. It does not work. You can go to http://aquilone.me/blogs/links/pra/ and see it does not redirect.
How can I change this to work correctly?
Well, depending on your provider, you can point your subdomain towards the same directory of your top level domain, i.e.:
example.com -> /public_html/
this.example.com -> /public_html/
But your question is not clear about what you are trying to do. Is it a subdomains network or is it a subfolders network? If subdomains, try to change the directory your subdomain points to as in the example above, and create the blog inside wp-admin/network/ If subfolders, then you don't need the subdomain, unless you really want to redirect it to a subfolder just like an easier to remember shortcut, in that case you don't need a RewriteRule, WP takes care of the virtual subfolder.
I figured out what had happened. Anything from the aquizone.net/blogs forward was being handled by Wordpress and the .htaccess setup at this subfolder. Therefore, having the redirect point to aquizone.net/blogs/links/pra and in that folder have the .htaccess to then point it where I want was never being seen.
To fix this, I moved the "links" directory to aquizone.net/links. Placing inside the ./pra/ folder with the .htaccess file. The subdomain redirects to this folder and then the .htaccess redirects this to the correct wordpress multisite subdirectory.
Of course it would be immensely easier if you could access a multisite by a hard link (for example aquizone.net/blogs/index.php?id=2) and could set the subdoman to redirect directly to that. But what I have is working.
How can example.com/blog seamlessly show the content of blog.example.com without a redirect?
Not this:
RewriteRule ^/blog http://blog.example.com [R=301,L]
Thanks.
In order for this to occur, both the domain and subdomain would have to be running from the same directory of files. Then you could just rewrite the /blog path to the same file that the subdomain is using to run. Depending on your permissions, it could be possible to specify a ../ path to the file that it's using if you get the directories right.
However, anytime you specify a full domain path in a rewrite rule, Apache will always redirect the request. You can't get around that.
if example.com/blog and blog.example.com(subdomain) both points to same directory(blog). Then you can directly access the specified path without any redirection.
I have 2 .htaccess files - one in root directory, another in subdirectory:
accordingly docroot/ and /subdirectory/docroot (this one works like a separate account).
The problem is that there are different rewrite rules in both files. Basicly, the problem is that the .htaccess in subdirectory doesn't work and/or is ignored.
What I am trying to achieve is to have one set of rewrite rules for docroot and other set of rewrite rules for subdirectory/docroot
edit:
the .htaccess file in subdirectory/docroot basicly strips index.php from url, and it actually works, but when i go to subdirectory/user it redirects to subdirectory/user/login (instead of subdirectory/index.php/user/login -- this parts is ok) but the website shows the root page (not subdirectory, but domain root)
Any ideas?
I just had to set RewriteBase to that particular subdirectory to make things work.
i have rewrite engine on with a rule to attach www in every url being accessed on my website.
the rule is written in htaccess located in public_html folder. now a problem is i have registered a web application in windows live developer website. as you may know, the windows like applications doesn't accept/allow domains to be verified as www.mydomain.com. they only accept mydomain.com format. so the return url specified in application settings is not delivering data as my verified domain is "mydomain.com" and in return url "www" is being attached due to htaccess rule. so i would like to know if there is any way i can exclude my 1 specific file (not the folder) from all rewrite rules being applied. or is there any way i can verify my domain as www.mydomain.com in windows live applications?
also, is there any way to turn off rewrite rules off for that particular file from PHP?
In your .htaccess rule you can add a condition like this:
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !.*myFile.asp$ [NC]
to execute your rewrite rules for everything EXCEPT a file called myFile.asp.
