How to redirect undefined RewriteRule in .htaccess - .htaccess

Here's what I've currently written in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^contact contact.php
RewriteRule ^browse browse.php
RewriteRule ^contact/ contact.php
RewriteRule ^privacy privacy-policy.php
RewriteRule ^signup register.php
RewriteRule ^register register.php
So when a user requests http://mydomain.com/welcome, which is not defined in the .htaccess file, it will result in a "404 Not Found" page.
Instead, I'd like to redirect pages that aren't explicitly defined in the .htaccess to another script, and pass the original URL. I don't want to use ErrorDocuments here. How can I do this?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^contact contact.php
RewriteRule ^browse browse.php
# why is contact the only one with a slash at the end?
RewriteRule ^contact/ contact.php
RewriteRule ^privacy privacy-policy.php
RewriteRule ^signup register.php
RewriteRule ^register register.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /other.php [L]

Hide the path in website URL using PHP

I have no idea of URL coding, please help me out.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ users.php?user=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ users.php?user=$1
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)$ users.php?user=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)/$ users.php?user=$1&page=$2
If you want to do this from php you can use a rewrite rule from your .htaccess file to pass everything to index.php
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
And after that you can get $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] that contains the current path (if you want to do something with it) and redirect back to your domain.
header("Location: http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]");

.htaccess redirect all index.html to parent folder

I need to redirect all index.html like this
Original URL
www.example.com/lp/index.html
www.example.com/sytem/index.html
Desired URL
www.example.com/lp
www.example.com/sytem
I used the follwing, it redirects successfully but 404 page
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
You almost got it right, what you did looks like a copy paste error to me. Your first RewriteRule is missing a parameter - there should be a slash before [R=301,L]
Your htaccess should look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.html$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
Reference:
http://dense13.com/blog/2012/10/29/removing-index-html-with-mod_rewrite-in-htaccess/
Place this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
DirectoryIndex index.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.html$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1/index\.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1/index.html [L]
Try putting this in your .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/index\.html [PT,L]
PT and L are rewrite flags, for more details about them check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/flags.html
why not redirect index.(anything) ? like index.php? index.xhtml?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.(.*)$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/index\.(.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
or to base it from the initial URL request only (to avoid conflicts with other rewrite rules):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

mod_rewrite config for /

I have the following .htaccess config
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule \.git - [F,L]
RewriteRule ^help help.php [L]
RewriteRule ^home home.php [L]
RewriteRule ^profile profile.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^users/([0-9]+) profile.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$ profile.php?u=$1 [L]
Now, whenever somebody visits the landing page, they get redirected using the last rule for profile.php?u=$1.
How do I change the configuration so that www.example.com and www.example.com/ are mapped to index.php and not profile.php?
Match the empty string or single slash just after the ^index rule:
RewriteRule ^help help.php [L]
RewriteRule ^home home.php [L]
RewriteRule ^profile profile.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index index.php [L]
# Match root request with optional slash
RewriteRule ^/?$ index.php [L]
I will suggest not to do it this way.
Instead, simply user this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
This will send all your requests to index.php page, from there create a router.php and pass on the requests to that page, using php.
but in case you do, just add
RewriteRule ^/?$ index.php [L]
Like Michael suggested.

.htaccess doesn't work

I have the following .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^mykeyword$ news.php [L,QSA,NC]
However, when I open the news.php, the url is still the same, that is www.mydomain.com/news.php instead of www.mydomain.com/mykeyword
I make the following test:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test\.html$ test.php [L]
I upload 2 files on my server, test.html and test.php and after I type www.mydomain.com/test.html, my php page was displayed, so that mean that I have no problem with my settings. What on earth I am doing wrong???
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Change your .htaccess to this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mydomain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+news\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ mykeyword [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^mykeyword/?$ news.php [L,NC]
The rewrite rule translates from the URL supplied by the user to the URL seen by the server. Try browsing to www.mydomain.com/mykeyword - you should see the page news.php.

.htaccess redirecting errors

First off I am using the Codeigniter Framework so this issue is a workaround the way CI process URLs along with the current redirects I have set up using mod_rewrite.
I am trying to get a URL like this /?gclid=somestringgoeshere to redirect to /index.php?/home/gclid/somestringgoeshere.
The current .htaccess I have set is below
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2_$3_$4_$5_$6_$7 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2_$3_$4_$5_$6 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2_$3_$4_$5 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2_$3_$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2_$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^_]+)-([^.]+)$ index.php?/$1_$2 [L]
# Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
# such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
# request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# This last condition enables access to the images and css folders, and the robots.txt file
# Submitted by Michael Radlmaier (mradlmaier)
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I am trying to use the following code right above the first set up rewrite conditions and rule's to catch it before it try's anything else
RewriteRule ^?gclid=(.*)$ index.php?/home/gclid/$1 [L]
and
RewriteRule ^\?gclid=(.*)$ index.php?/home/gclid/$1 [L]
and
RewriteRule ^/?gclid=(.*)$ index.php?/home/gclid/$1 [L]
All either don't show the correct page or come up with a 500 internal error.
The URI’s query can only be tested with the RewriteCond directive:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^gclid=(.*)
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?/home/gclid/%1 [L]
Or more general (will consider further query parameters):
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]*&)*gclid=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?/home/gclid/%2 [L]
Oh, by the way: RewriteCond directives only correspond to the first following RewriteRule directive.
