I am trying to redirect access to one part of my site before a certain date. I am using ISAPI_Rewrite 3 on IIS 6 but I believe ISAPI_Rewrite is compatible with mod_rewrite syntax. Imagine I wanted to redirect pages to a certain address before the 1st April 2012. I have found examples where people use something like this:
RewriteCond %{TIME_YEAR}%{TIME_MON}%{TIME_DAY} <20120401
The problem I have is that the server variables for TIME_MON and TIME_DAY appear to be returning single digits (e.g. 1 rather than 01).
So for the 1st May %{TIME_YEAR}%{TIME_MON}%{TIME_DAY} returns 201251 rather than 20120501.
201251 is less than 20120401 BUT the first of May is AFTER the first of April.
How do I get around this problem?
Looking at Time based rewrites - how to handle two seperate years? I have realised that I may be coming at this from the wrong direction.
I think something like the following could work for me:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Someplace/(.*)\.aspx$
RewriteCond %{TIME_YEAR} ^2012
RewriteCond %{TIME_MON} <4
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /Someplace/systemdown.html [R=301,L]

I think I have achieved the holy grail of generic wildcard subdomain redirection after going around in circles for a whole day battling "too many redirects" errors. It seems to work with any domain and subdomain, the only part you need to specify is a list of possible valid suffixes eg .com|.com.au|.co.uk etc. This code will take *yourdomain.suffix for any domain and turn it into http://www.yourdomain.suffix, but only for valid subdomains that could actually exist. You can have as many sequences of anything.anything-anything.anything-anything-anything.anything. before yourdomain.com as you want, it will all get turned into www. Now it seems to work perfectly, but I don't trust this sadistic language of regex one bit. I have absolutely no way of knowing if this code is valid, if it will cause server problems or fail under some important circumstances. Can anyone help bug-test or refine it?
Here it is:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]{1}|[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]{1})*([a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.(com|com[\.]{1}au)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9]+|[a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.(com|com[\.]{1}au)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.%2.%3%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,NC,L]
Note: The reason it's so long is because I'm trying to account for the possibility of dashes in the main domain or subdomain parts. So anything-anything.youdomain.com. But I read that with domain names you're not allowed to have dashes without at least one alphanumerical character between the dash and any period. So www.anything-.yourdomain.com or www.-anything.yourdomain.com are both invalid and must be rejected. If I didn't have to consider this, the regex for the first 2 lines would be way simpler: it could just start with:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+[\.]{1})*([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.(com|com[\.]{1}au)?$
I need to fix a bunch of URLs from NetSuite to move into Magento
http://www.example.com/RANDOM-PRODUCT-NAME?sc=99&category=6666666
NetSuite makes these URLs from within the category (that is what ?sc=99&category=6666666 is for)
I would like to remove the variable completely from the url.
Any suggestions?
So, once again, I get no where with stackoverflow.
On the bright side, I did get the problem solved.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^sc=\d{1,2}&category=\d{1,7}$
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ http://www.somedomain.com/$1? [R=301,L]
that removes the query string from my URLs, it looks for the 'sc=' and a minimum of 1 or maximum of 2 digits and '&category=' and a minimum of 1 or a maximum of 7 digits.

Thanks again.
Tried looking via search but I couldn't find a match for this particular issue.
Needing to redirect /games/ps3/?page=2 to /ps3/games/2/. All of the approaches I've tried so far won't remove the query string and grab the page value to pass into my new URL.
A little bit new to these types of redirects as I don't work with them often, so I'm guessing it might be a RedirectRule-type approach but I'm not sure.
(Note that due to how the URLs work with other pages on the site I'm having to create the rule for each platform, i.e. I need have a separate rule for both ps3 and xbox-360. So the only variable here is the page number.)
I was thinking it might work something like
RewriteRule ^games/ps3/?page=(.*)$ /ps3/games/$1/? [L,R=301]
But I think the first ? is causing the rule to fail since the second part uses it. I tried looking online to see how to resolve that possible issue but I couldn't find anything.
Ended up messing around with the rules and got this to solve the issue:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^games/ps3/$ /ps3/games/%1/? [L,R=301]
I am trying to redirect all requests to subfolders and subfiles in a directory that start with 4 numbers (e.g. 2012) to another directory using the .htaccess file.
For example,
/results/2005-09-19-xxx/* to /event/2005-09-19-xxx/*
and
/results/2005-09-20-file.ext to /event/2005-09-20-file.ext
But not
/results/anything-else/*
From the documents I have looked at I believe I need to use a RewriteCond followed by a RewriteRule. I have been struggling to find a way to both match on the initial 4 numbers and still use them in the redirected link.
I have spent many hours trying to find a solution to this issue, any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You don't realy need a rewrite condition, try this rewrite rule :
RewriteRule ^results/([0-9]{4}.*)$ /event/$1 [L,QSA]
This should do the trick:
RewriteRule ^result/([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})(.+)$ event/$1-$2-$3$4 [L]
This pattern is: 4 numbers dash 2 numbers dash 2 numbers rest, written in a way that you can easily understand and manipulate at a later date if need be. Everything that fits the pattern will be rewritten - the rest will work as it normally does
Example:
result/2012-02-02-abcd.ext
fits the pattern and will be rewritten to
event/2012-02-02-abcd.ext
This is my first Question to StackOverflow. I have been working with .htaccess for a PHP application that is currently in development. My Contention is changing a forward slash to a period.
I have had no Joy so far, currently my code looks like the following:
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z_-]+)?$ app/account/?account_name=$1 [NC,L]
The above is taking away the 'app/account/?account_name=account_name' and allowing displaying the following : www.exampleurl.com/examplename. This is fine, but is there anyway to change my code so instead of /examplename it states www.exampleurl.com.examplename ? I have spent some time googling the answer to no avail.
If anyone can give me some guidance that would be fantastic, thanks in advance.
I can't think of a real replace, but what you can if the nesting is limited to some number (let's say 3) is provide multiple rules each dealing with specific nesting level:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/(.*) /$1.$2.$3 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*) /$1.$2 [L,QSA]
# third rule is not needed, because when there is only one level, there is nothing to replace
What you need to make sure is that the rules are in descending order of the nesting levels (L flag ensures processing is stopped on a level that is matched)
