My client has a godaddy Virtual Dedicated Server (yes I know it sucks).... It has WHM VPS Optimized running on it .
I am trying to remove the index.php from the urls but my server still displays 404 errors I have looked at every forum in the universe and cant get an htaccess file that works. Here is what expression engine tells you to put use...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/index\.php|/img|/js|/css|/robots\.txt|/favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I know diddly about Apache.. please help kind sirs...
Test if the htaccess is working:
# Redirect domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yourdomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/google\.com" [R=301,L]
Or
# Remove the www from the URL
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Ensure you actually have content appearing when you enter /index.php :P
Once you know your htaccess is working try "$1" instead of "%{REQUEST_URI}":
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(img|admin\.php|themes|robots\.txt|index\.php|sitemap\.xml|/favicon\.ico) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
Also try "/index.php?/$1" instead of "/index.php/$1"
Ensure you have set EE (Admin->General Configuration) so "Name of your site's index page" is blank.
Remember that once you do get EE to work without the index.php appearing, it can be used both ways (with and without), which is bad for SEO, so remove it like so (place before the above rewrite :)
# Redirect index.php Requests (prevent site showing index.php in browser address bar)
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,L]

I'm rewriting a website with a larger google cache.
So my Problem is that the old links should be reachable but under a new URL.
I'm sitting since 8h to rewrite the URLs with htaccess... But it seems to be to hard for me, so how can I make this:
old htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^banana/(.*).htm$ https://example.com/banana/index.php?id=$1 [R=301,L]
Future config wish:
1. https://example.com/banana/Berlin.htm
2. https://example.com/banana/index.php?id=Berlin
both leading to --> https://example.com/banana.php?id=Berlin
working .htaccess for rewrite 1:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/banana [NC]
RewriteRule /(.*) https://example.com/banana.php?id=$1 [R=301,L]
working .htaccess for rewrite 2:
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^banana/(.*).htm$ https://example.com/banana.php?id=$1 [R=301,L]
But either I run into Too many redirects or to not working rewrites...
And when i got one config working fine the oder old URL is pointing to 404 ...
Thank you in advance and very much!
I need help to write proper rewrite rules in my htaccess files.
I need to redirect something like fr.example.com to example.com/fr, because we recently changed the whole website and the multilingual system is managed differently. The structure and the pages too.
I managed to do that successfully with this piece of code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
My problem now is to write something more specific for pages, for example :
fr.example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/fr/bar/foo (different path, nothing consistant)
BUT ! example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/bar/foo (end of the url is the same in both english and french)
Right now, since I have some common 301 redirects, the french urls aren't redirect properly and lead to the english pages. For example that one :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/otherfoo
Successfully redirects example.com/discover/foo to example.com/bar/otherfoo but also redirects fr.example.com/discover/otherfoo
How can I write two different rules for english and french? I'll have to write a bunch of different rules since everything is very different from the old subdomain to the new directory, I don't mind.
Thanks !
EDIT
Please note that it's for a wordpress installation, and the htaccess starts with :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
First the these rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
should look like this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
In order to capture bot www & non-www requests for subdomain.
Also this rule :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/foo
Will capture both requests to domain and sub-domains and using mod_rewrite here is correct not mod_alias so , replace this line with :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/bar/foo [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(fr)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/%2/bar/foo [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test.
In the public_html folder which is the root folder of my main site thesite.com, I have this htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^m\.thesite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.thesite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.thesite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://thesite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1&sid=$2&did=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1&sid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2&vid=$3&mid=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2&vid=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^offer/(.*) product_offer.php?ind=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?([^/\.]*)/?$ $1.php [QSA,L]
Here, am forcing non-www url as well as forcing https URL for the thesite.com. And I have two subdomains: m.thesite.com and blog.thesite.com.
Both are in separate subfolders inside public_html.
The m.thesite.com is in /public_html/m.thesite.com/ folder. And it has this htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.m\.thesite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://m.zapteka.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1&sid=$2&did=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1&sid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^category/([^/\.]+)/?$ category\_product\_list.php?mid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2&vid=$3&mid=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2&vid=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^p/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ product.php?id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?([^/\.]*)/?$ $1.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^offer/(.*) product_offer.php?ind=$1
For this subdomain also, I need to force https urls as well as non-www urls.
It seems to be working for the main site. I mean thesite.com. But when I try to access the m.thesite.com, it seems to be internally redirecting to the files of thesite.com instead of the m.thesite.com. I mean the url is being shown as https://m.thesite.com/ but the pages are from https://thesite.com
I have been trying to debug the issue for several hours now. Probably it could be something small that I missed. Any ideas?
BTW, thesite.com is having Wildcard SSL installed.
EDIT
Am sorry if my explanation was confusing. When I said url is showing as https://m.thesite.com/ but the content is from https://thesite.com/, I meant to say that in browser the url is shown as https://m.thesite.com. But the template file contents where from the desktop version of the main site thesite.com. The m.thesite.com is mobile version of the site. The pages that displays the contents where separate in both the desktop and mobile version of the site.
Like you see in the htaccess code that I included above, there is some PHP files inside the /public_html/ folder for the desktop version. All the files for the mobile version of the site is in /public_html/m.thesite.com/ folder.
So, in short, when I try to access the https://m.thesite.com/, it is displaying the index.php page from /public_html/index.php instead of /public_html/m.thesite.com/
So that's how I found that there's issue in the routing.
EDIT
VirtualHost entries fetched by using this command /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -S:
I have also checked the Apache version and saw that it's 2.2.27 using the command: httpd -V
So I tried adding this line in the htaccess file:
RewriteLog "/logs/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
But it was giving internal server error. So I tried this line instead also:
LogLevel mod_rewrite.c:trace8
That was also giving me internal server error when site is accessed. So I commented it out.
I am trying to implement 301's for sub-pages on my site which is hosted on an Apache server (Fasthosts), using Rewrite scripts in the .htaccess file. I have tried to follow many pieces of documentation (infact, I've never had any problems implementing 301's using .htaccess before!) but on this particular website, nothing seems to work.
There is currently a 301 re-direct in there from non-www to www which is working fine. There are also some other snippets using regex which I imagine are for the CMS.
Below is the current state of the .htaccess file. An example of a 301 I'm trying to re-direct is in there (Lines 5 & 6)
Old page: http://www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
to New page: http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^junkwize.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london [R=301]
#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ — [F]
RewriteRule ^([/admin]+)$ admin/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([/admin]+)([/blocks]+)$ admin/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([/blocks]+)$ index.php [L]
# RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&id=$2&menu=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([/deals]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&id=$2 [L]
# RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&leftmain=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&leftmain=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1 [L]
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
This code is faulty and is not going to work:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london [R=301]
Reason is that RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} can only match host name. Replace that code with this:
RewriteRule ^home-Garden\ Clearance/?$ /services/garden-clearance-london [R=301,L,NC]
I've set up wildcard domains locally for testing on .dev
I'm trying to rewrite the following URL:
http://location.domain.dev/
to
http://www.domain.dev/site/location
I would like any requests with www in the subdomain to always go to www.domain.dev but if any request is made to location.domain.dev, I would like to keep that request in the address bar (i.e i dont want people to see the underlying change)
I currently have the following in my .htaccess
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.dev
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.dev/site/%1 [QSA,NC]
# Removes index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
Is this even possible?
You're pretty close. In order to not redirect the browser (causing the address bar to change) you need to get rid of the http://domain.dev part of the rewrite rule's target:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/%1/$1 [QSA,NC]
assuming that both *.domain.dev and www.domain.dev have the same document root. If they're different, you may have to enable mod_proxy and add a P flag so that the request gets proxied instead of redirecting the browser:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.dev/site/%1/$1 [QSA,NC,P]
