RewriteRule for renaming a URL - .htaccess

My Current rewrite rule is
RewriteRule ^tpjobs/(.+)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
With Joomla Core SEF plugin
And My URL is coming like this
http://www.mydomain.com/tpjobs/findresume.html
Please suggest me how to take off tpjobs or renaming to tpjobs to jobs

Try this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tpjobs/(.*)$ /jobs/$1 [R=301,L,NC]
This will redirect all http://www.mydomain.com/tpjobs/foo to http://www.mydomain.com/jobs/foo

Understand that .htaccess will redirect inbound traffic from one address to another - but the original link (in the page) will still contain the full (unwanted) portions of the url.
If you want to change the 'actual' link - ie the html that is present in the page - you will need to build your own router.php file for the component in question - OR - you will need to write a content plugin to rewrite your content using a regular expression.

.htaccess RewriteRule : not all rules work on Ionos [duplicate]

Start by explaining what I'm trying to do:
I've got different pages on my website. Some pages have the same templates so I create one page with parameters to adapt my page: Parameters are called pageview and lang the URL looks like this:
http://mywebsite/home/en <- http://mywebsite/index.php?pageview=home&lang=en
http://mywebsite/page2/fr <- http://mywebsite/index.php?pageview=page2&lang=fr
for example. To dot that, I use the famous .htaccess file and it module rewrite_module for Apache.
I've got also a contact page with a different template. It URL looks like this and here there is only one parameter:
http://mywebsite/contact/fr <- http://mywebsite/contact.php?lang=fr
http://mywebsite/contact/en <- http://mywebsite/contact.php?lang=en
Here is my .htaccess code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^contact/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ contact.php?lang=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ index.php?pageview=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?pageview=$1&lang=$2 [QSA]
The problem is that .htaccess file work for the index.php but not for contact.php
I can fully access to contact.php but the parameter is not detected
Thanks for your help 😀😀 !
EDIT
If I remove index parts to stay only the contact rewriteRule's the problem stay there.
contact.php and index.php are in the root folder
RewriteRule ^contact/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ contact.php?lang=$1
It looks like you may have a conflict with MultiViews. If MultiViews is enabled then mod_negotiation will rewrite a request for /contact/fr to /contact.php (without any parameters) before mod_rewrite is able to process the request.
Try disabling MultiViews at the top of your .htaccess file:
Options -MultiViews

change url alias via htaccess and mod rewrite?

I want to change an url-alias via htaccess.
Here is one example, how one url should be changed:
original url:
www.domain.de/immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete
future url:
www.domain.de/immobilien-leipzig/mieten
Is it possible only to change the url-alias?
The discussion reveals that you are looking for a combination of an external and an internal rewriting:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete(.*)$ /immobilien-leipzig/mieten$1 [R=301,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?immobilien-leipzig/mieten(.*)$ /immobilien-vermarktungsart/miete$1 [END,QSA]
This will change the visible URL in the broser from immobilien-vermarktungsart to immobilien-leipzig, but internally still deliver the contents of immobilien-vermarktungsart.

htaccess mask a range of URL's to more readable versions but show content from original URL

Here is a sample of filter URL's on an ecommerce store.
http://www.domain.com/showering/showers/filter/alliance
http://www.domain.com/showering/showers/filter/aquaflow
http://www.domain.com/showering/showers/filter/grohe
http://www.domain.com/showering/showers/filter/mira
I'm wondering if there is a way I can mask these URL's so they appear like:-
http://www.domain.com/alliance-showers
http://www.domain.com/aquaflow-showers
http://www.domain.com/grohe-showers
http://www.domain.com/mira-showers
But still display the page content from the /showering/showers/* URL's?
I then wish to be able to set the canonical URL's based on these masked URL's.
I've played around with countless variations with little success but here is something I've got so far:-
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^/showering/showers/filter/(alliance)
RewriteRule (.*) /alliance-showers/
When this is applied to website, all the images on the Magento store don't load incidentally along with the fact that the URL doesn't change at all.
Answer to #anubhava's comment...
.htaccess file is in root or Magento installation. It is the very first rule in file like so:-
############################################
## enable rewrites
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^-]+)-([^/]+)/?$ /showering/$2/filter/$1 [L,R]
Currently testing with this URL:-
http://www.showermania.co.uk/showering/showers/filter/alliance
Wanting to show as:-
http://www.showermania.co.uk/alliance-showers
Current answer has no affect/change on this URL at all. Thanks.
You can use a rule like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^showering/([^/]+)/filter/([^/]+)/?$ /$2-$1 [L,NC]

How do I rewrite the url?

Could someone tell me how to rewrite this URL. I have looked at a lot of questions on stackoverflow but they seem to be missing my answer.
RewriteEngine On
That is what I have... its a bit poor.
I need to rewrite url's if they do not point to a directory.
I need to do this...
any.domain.com/pages/some-page-slug/login
To be rewritten to the correct url of...
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be achieved?
1) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product-12.html
It is a simple redirection in which .php extension is hidden from the browser’s address bar and dynamic url (containing “?” character) is converted into a static URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product-([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$1
2) Rewriting product.php?id=12 to product/ipod-nano/12.html
SEO expert always suggest to display the main keyword in the URL. In the following URL rewriting technique you can display the name of the product in URL.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^product/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([0-9]+)\.html$ product.php?id=$2
3) Redirecting non www URL to www URL
If you type yahoo.com in browser it will be redirected to www.yahoo.com. If you want to do same with your website then put the following code to .htaccess file. What is benefit of this kind of redirection?? Please check the post about SEO friendly redirect (301) redirect in php and .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^optimaxwebsolutions\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.optimaxwebsolutions.com/$1 [R=301,L]
4) Rewriting yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz to yoursite.com/xyz
Have you checked zorpia.com.If you type http://zorpia.com/roshanbh233 in browser you can see my profile over there. If you want to do the same kind of redirection i.e http://yoursite.com/xyz to http://yoursite.com/user.php?username=xyz then you can add the following code to the .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ user.php?username=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/$ user.php?username=$1
5) Redirecting the domain to a new subfolder of inside public_html.
Suppose the you’ve redeveloped your site and all the new development reside inside the “new” folder of inside root folder.Then the new development of the website can be accessed like “test.com/new”. Now moving these files to the root folder can be a hectic process so you can create the following code inside the .htaccess file and place it under the root folder of the website. In result, www.test.com point out to the files inside “new” folder.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/new/
RewriteRule (.*) /new/$1
TO do this you need to write a front controller.
See here, here, here, and here.
Alternatively in Apache you can rewrite this
any.domain.com/pages/32/login
or this:
any.domain.com/32/login
or even this:
any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login
to this:
any.domain.com/pages/login.php?page=32
One way or another to do this with only apache you need to supply the page id in some fashion. Keep in mind even with format any.domain.com/some-slug/32/login the content of the slug is irrelevant and won't necessarily link to the correct page. Which I imagine is undesirable and bad for SEO.
Another alternative is using RewriteMap. But this will be tricky and require reloading apache configurations whenever a page/slug is created/edit.
I understand that pages and login are static in this case and some-page-slug is changing. And you always want to redirect to static page /pages/login.php?page=32
So this is how to do it:
1) Rewrite
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32
or 2) Redirect Pernament
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=301,L]
or 3) Redirect Temporary
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pages/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/login(.*)$ /pages/login.php?page=32 [R=302,L]

PHP and .htaccess redirect woodoo

I'm a little stuck with with my .htaccess redirect.
It was working find while I was with PHP4 but the recent move to a new host with PHP5 have changed things for which I've no clue.
I'm working on a URL shortening service. Here, for a URL like http://example.com/e72b0f, it gives me http://example.com/forward.php?e72b0f
Earlier with my .htaccess file, the "forward.php?" was masked (hidden). How can I bring back this behavior. Here is the .htaccess for your reference.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \/([0-9a-z]{6})$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://example.com/forward.php?%1 [L]
Btw, I also do not rule out the issue being in the PHP Script. The developer that did it for me is too busy to look at it.
If you rewrite to an http:// URL that the server doesn't think is in the site, mod_rewrite will do a redirect instead of just a rewrite. In order to see if this is happening, make a page that has nothing in it but
<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; ?>
and see if says it's going to "nsfw.in".
Either way, you should be able to strip off the http:// nsfw.in from the beginning of the URL and just rewrite it to /forward.php?%1. You may need to add a PT flag in order for it to be interpreted as a URL and not a FS path.
