I need to redirect a page like this (values could change in query string)
http://www.domain.com/list.php?id=bla&variable2=product1-product2-product3
Redirect to
http://www.domain.com/list.html?id=bla&variable2=product1-product2-product3
All i need is it to change to .html but everything else should remain the same on the bespoke links.
Any help out there?
Is it a bad idea to do the redirection in list.php file instead of using an .htaccess file?
How about something like:
header('Location: http://www.domain.com/list.html?'+$querystring);
in list.php?
Put this in you htaccess, it should be enough.
RewriteRule ^([^.]+).html$ /$1.php [QSA,L]
(And by the way, it's useless to do this...)

I want to redirect all type of links like that :
www.sitename.com/link1-XXX.html
to
www.sitename.com/link1-XXX/
I don't want to redirect all .html links. I want to redirect all html links which end with XXX.
Solution :
RewriteRule ^(.*)XXX\.html$ /$XXX/ [R=301,L]
You did not specified the question, just told us what you want to do, not what is your problem...
if your problem is, that you dont know how to redirect only links like you described, then put this in your .htaccess with RewriteEngine on:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)-XXX\.html?$ /$1-XXX/ [L,QSA]
I did not really tested this regex..
It should take anything that end with /"something"-XXX.htm and /"something"-XXX.html and redirect it to subaddr named as "something"-XXX/
if you would need append some GET params to the processed url, you should change the regex so it ends like this:
...html?(.*)$
meaning, there can be anything after htm or html
In the past website was full of pages with different basis. After redisign and with new concept the website consists of only 1 page. So I need to redirect all old pages to /.
Pages for example:
http://domain.com/catalog/index.html?c_id=145
http://domain.com/catalog/?c_id=116
http://domain.com/news/read.html?id=174
and so on.
In htaccess I've made several rules like this:
RewriteRule ^catalog(.*)$ http://domain.com/ [L,R=301]
But this rule don't give a full control, and the result is not satisfactory:
http://domain.com/?c_id=145
How can I get rid of this? I need to redirect all such links to http://domain.com without any additions. I think the {QUERY_STRING} can help, but I don't know how to do this correct.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
You can add a ? at the end to create a blank query string:
# append "?" here ----v
RewriteRule ^catalog(.*)$ http://domain.com/? [L,R=301]
I'm a newbie and I'm trying to figure out the proper 301 redirect for the following pages. I hope I'm being clear here :) In my .htaccess file, I want to redirect pages "up" one pages without having to do every page individually.
My original pages looked like the following:
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/?page=1
www.doctors.com/skin/california/best-skin-doctors-california/?page=2
....etc. ....up to like /?page=33
and more categories and states, like:
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/?page=1
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/best-heart-doctors-new-york/?page=2
...etc. .....again up to like /?page=24
I've since changed the page structure to eliminate the long URLs...like this:
www.doctors.com/skin/california/
www.doctors.com/skin/california/?page=1
www.doctors.com/skin/california/?page=2
etc.....and similarly....
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/?page=1
www.doctors.com/heart/new-york/?page=2
etc.
How can I "bulk" redirect the original pages with the long URLs to the newer, shortened version in my .htaccess file? Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Using mod_alias, you can simply add this in the .htaccess file in your document root:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/
But if you need further restrictions on how the redirect works, you can use Apache's mod_rewrite module. Taking a look at the RewriteCond directive, you can impose conditions on a rule and put everything in .htaccess. The main rule will look very similar to mod_alias' RedirectMatch. Example:
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
In both cases, the query string (the page=3 part) is simply appended to the new target. Looking over the different things you can do with RewriteCond, say if you wanted to exclude this rule when requests are made for something like /images/ or /themes/:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/images/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/themes/
RewriteRule ^([a-z\-]+)/([a-z\-]+)/[a-z\-]+/$ /$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
So, if the request doesn't start with /images/ and the request doesn't start with /themes/, then apply the rule. This example would make it so a request for http://host.com/themes/subSilver/magic-icons/ don't get redirected to http://host.com/themes/subSilver/.
I am hoping someone can help with an unusual situation.
I have one main rewrite rule in place in my httpd.conf file which handles all of our dynamic content. The rule looks like this and works fine:
RewriteRule ^(.)(/./d/[^.]*)$ /category/refine.cgi\?\&a\=$2
The problem I have is that when I try to use .htaccess to create a simple 301 redirect, the query parameters are automatically appended to the end of the URL's so the final result looks like this:
http://www.example.com/category/page.html?&a=/category/subcategory/something/d/page/
Notice that the query string is appended to the URL when using .htaccess to create a 301 redirect.
I have solution for this on a case-by-case basis, but it's not practical to create a new rule each time I want to do a simple 301 redirect.
So, I am wondering if I can edit my "main rule" in any way so that when .htaccess is used to create redirects, the query parameters are not appended to the target URL.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
If you have multiple simple redirects for which you want to suppress query string values you could put all the redirects in a RewriteMap (since you already have access to httpd.conf), and have one .htaccess rule that suppresses the query strings as below
place in htaccess
#if there is a match in the map
RewriteCond ${redirect_map:$1} !=""
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${redirect_map:$1}? [R,L]
place in httpd.conf
RewriteEngine On
RewriteMap redirect_map txt:/usr/local/apache/conf/redirect.map
contents of /usr/local/apache/conf/redirect.map
key followed by a space followed by target
directory/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/ example/category7/subdirectory/file.html
directory4/subdirectory2/subdirectory9/ example/category5/subdirectory4/file332.html
That's what your rule has defined it to do:
RewriteRule ^(.)(/./d/[^.]*)$ /category/refine.cgi\?\&a\=$2
It says to create a URL that will look like:
category/refine.cgi?&a=/foo/bar/
If you don't want that to happen, change your rule to be:
RewriteRule ^(.)(/./d/[^.]*)$ /category/refine.cgi\?
Hi I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination and am trying to do a multi 301 redirect in my htaccess file based on the following:
So I have a ton of urls all with similar naming conventions - here is a sample of 2.
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-at-gold/
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-ace-250/
These urls need to redirect to:
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-at-gold/
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-ace-250/
I could just redirect them 1 line at a time, but I'd like to use regex.
Here's what I was thinking so far but not working:
RewriteRule ^garrett-([a-z])/$ /garrett-metal-detectors/$1/ [R]
Basically i need to redirect any page right off the root that starts with "garrett-" to include the folder path of "garrett-metal-detectors".
Any thoughts would be MUCH appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your help.
if you want temprorary redirect use:
RewriteRule ^garrett\-([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-$1/ [R=302,L]
if you want permanent redirect use:
RewriteRule ^garrett\-([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-$1/ [R=301,L]
I'm am not an expert on Regular Expressions, but looks like your reg ex may be a bit off...
try:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^((garrett)(-[a-z0-9]).*)/$ /metal-detectors/$1/ [R]
This is looking fro anything starting with "garrett" followed by any letter/number/hyphen combo.
Note: having "garett" in the destination part give you a loop of redirects, so you may have to choose a different word, or remove it all together...
