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'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.
We have on our site hundreds of links that point to:
/about/about/filename.html
But we need them to go to:
/about/filename.html
Is there a way to point them to the correct directory?
We are running on a Linux server and the site is build with Joomla Version 1.5.10 and there is ARTIO JoomSEF 3.8.2 running on it.
Thanks
Assuming you're using the Apache webserver, you can use mod_rewrite, specifically the RewriteRule directive:
RewriteRule /about/about/(.+)$ /about/$1 [R=301]
Place this rule in your httpd.conf file in the <VirtualHost> context for the site in question, or in a .htaccess file in the site's DocumentRoot.
This rule will create a 301 Permanent redirect for requests to any path under /about/about/ to the same path under /about/. e.g., /about/about/filename.html will redirect to /about/filename.html
I'm permanently forwarding a directory to its own domain, i had a wordpress setup in the directory at one time which google indexed... I've setup the redirect in my .htaccess however permalink structure is appended to the forwarded domain. So im taking everything from /sample forwarding to www.sample.com but im wanting to strip the unused variables from the url such as www.sample.com/?p=6, etc... However i need this done only for files in the /sample directory as i still have wordpress installs that need to remain intact. Also how can i not have a double forward slash after the redirect. I have:
Redirect permanent /sample http://www.sample.com
But it outputs http://www.sample.com//
Try this instead:
Redirect 301 /sample/ http://www.sample.com/?
The ? should strip query string (?p=6 etc)
The same but using mod_rewrite:
RewriteRule ^(sample(/|/.*)?)$ http://www.sample.com/$1? [NC,R=301,L]
Is it possible to set a default folder to access instead of a file like "index.html".
What I'd like to to is make it so that when a person visits my site they get redirected to a folder within the root of the domain. I am using a blogging engine and I need it to show up as the homepage but I don't want to install it in the root because I have other folders and files that need to be in the root directory. And I don't want to put them inside the blogging software's folder. I also don't want to use a 301 or 3XX redirect for SEO purposes.
If there's a way to do what I'm asking let me know. If not, let me know the best option otherwise.
Try this mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ foo/bar [L]
This will rewrite requests to the directory where this rule is applied to to foo/bar. So if you put this rule in the .htaccess file in your document root and request http://example.com/, it will get rewritten to http://example.com/foo/bar.
