I'm pretty new to apache, and I need some help with some .htaccess rewrite rules. Here're the current rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/beta/index\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /beta/index\.php [R=302,L]
Basically it redirects any requests to mydomain.com\beta\index.php, except if a filename's specified. This works fine for now.
Here's the problem:
I have a subdomain beta.mydomain.com which I don't want these rules to apply to. Any URL on beta.subdomain.com should be treated normally. However, since the .htaccess is at the server root, it's rules are messing with the beta.subdomain.com as well.
I've tried many different combinations of regex, but I can't figure it out. Help!
You need use something like this (to check if your request was related to specific domain/subdomain):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.mydomain\.com(:80)?$
20 seconds were missed... But my answer is better ;)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/beta/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^beta\.subdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /beta/index\.php [R=302,L]
This ought to do the trick!

I need to get the following URL rewrite syntax correct and am struggling.
xxxxx.com/public_html/food/
Needs to be rewritten as:
xxxxx.com/food/
I tried this and it doesn't work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/public_html/food/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://xxxxx.com/food/%1 [R=301,L]
My client is using Joomla (which I am not familiar with), so I need to do so using the .htaccess file per everything I have researched so far. I am just struggling getting the syntax to work correctly though.
Thanks!
Try this, .htaccess
for Rewrite
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^food/?(.*)$ http://xxxxx.com/public_html/food/$1 [QSA,L]
for Redirect (add R=301)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^food/?(.*)$ http://xxxxx.com/public_html/food/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
Edit:
If you want to rewrite all urls (including /food)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public_html/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public_html/$1 [QSA,L]
It will allow you to access site like,
http://xxxxx.com/food/ will point to http://xxxxx.com/public_html/food/
http://xxxxx.com/sample/ will point to http://xxxxx.com/public_html/sample/
http://xxxxx.com/anything/cool/?product=123 will point to http://xxxxx.com/public_html/anything/cool/?product=123/
I am trying to do a permanent redirect from my old design (www.your-translations.com) to my new design at www.your-translations.com/_YT.
In the process, the urls have to change from this format:
www.your-translations.com/my_page.php
to this format:
www.your-translations.com/_YT/index.php?pge=my_page
I have made many attempts so far, the latest of which is:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*your\-translations.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/([^/]*)\.php $1/_YT/index.php?pge=$2 [R=302]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-translations.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your-translations.com/$1 [R=302,L]
This is one of my better tries in that it apparently does almost nothing (previous tries have resulted in 505 errors and infinite loops). The rewriting of URLs to "www." works properly.
I have tested the regex in different regex testers and it seems to do what I expect it to do.
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?
WHAT exactly is the pattern applied to? Is it what is matched by the RewriteCond? The URI as I typed it in? The relative path? The actual path on the server?
Is there any way to display the string before I try to match it?
Several suggestions found in tutorials result in infinite loops on my server. Do all versions work the same way?
Unfortunately, the webhost technical support doesn't seem to know anything about mod_rewrite, so I can't expect any help from them.
According to my FTP log, I have already made about 80 attempts and I could really use a hand here.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-translations\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/_YT/([a-z0-9-_]+)\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([a-z0-9-_]+)\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /_YT/index.php?pge=%1 [QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.your-translations\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/_YT/([a-z0-9-_]+)\.php$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([a-z0-9-_]+)\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /_YT/index.php?pge=%1 [QSA]
In RewriteCond, you must type a backslash before a dot and not before dash, because a dot in .htaccess means any character, so you need bslash to call is as dot. Sorry, I'm in mobile, so I couldn't explain more, but feel free to ask what you want to know about the code.
Thanks to some explanations from webmasterworld, I was able to fix my mod_rewrite code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your-translations.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.your-translations.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !="^.*?/.*"
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.php$ http://www.your-translations.com/_YT/index.php?pge=$1 [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.your-translations.com/_YT/ [R=302,L]
This seems to work correctly so far (touching wood). Thanks Servant for your help.
I have been fiddle farting around with htaccess and RewriteEngine but I can't quite get my head around it...
I'm building a website on which I want users to be able to go to /portfolio/typography for example. But I don't want to create seperate pages for each category in this portfolio and thus I want to rewrite (redirect?) all the requests that go to /portfolio/ to the index.php of this directory and load the appropiate projects for this category from there.
Any ideas on how I could do this? I used this to redirect all the requests to /portfolio/:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/portfolio/$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif) [NC]
RewriteRule .* /portfolio/ [R=302,L]
Thanks in advance,
Cas Cornelissen
EDIT
Maybe I should note that I have another .htaccess file in the root of my website.
Ok, so I found the answer to my own question...
Seems like the following is working:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
I would like to be able to use rewrite rules to redirect anyone who opens the link :
domain.com/name
to
index.php?username=name
what would be the best way to do it?
I tried to post the htaccess code I wrote but stackoverflow keeps saying it doesn't meet standards so I removed it.
thanks in advance
Something like this will do it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^/]+)/? [NC]
RewriteRule .* index.php?username=%1 [L,QSA]
It will map silently
http://domain.com/name
To
http://domain.com/index.php?username=name
For this to work, /name must be the first directory in the incoming URL path.
I have no experience with .htaccess, but I got a tip that it's very useful so I wanted to try this.
I now have a file called .htaccess, in my root folder.
The files contains this;
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^kellyvuijst\.nl [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.kellyvuijst.nl/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
What I'm trying to do here is create a 'www.mysite.com/portfolio/' instead of 'mysite.com/portfolio.html' I used some tutorials on this and I think it's correct, but I'm not sure.
So now I have this file, and what now? The tutorials all show what to put in the file but not what to do with it? Do I need to call for it in every .html page I have? And how do I call for it?
A .htaccess file is automatically invoked by the server.
You have just to put this into your file :
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule www.mysite.com/portfolio/ /mysite.com/portfolio.html [L]
Hmm, you're using a lot of rules here to achieve just that.
Anyway, no you don't have to include that file. If you're hosting your site on a server with Apache it'll be included automatically. Can you also run PHP files or is your site just HTML? That's always an easy sign if you're also using Apache (not 100%, but often the go together).
If so, you could try just using these rules first:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.+)\.(.+)$ [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1.%2/$1 [R=301,L]
If that always adds www to your address, even if you type in the URL without www at least you can be certain that it works.
Then, to make the .html disappear you can add this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule $(.*)/$ /$1.html [L]
This should make every url that ends with a slash (like portfolio/) use a .html file instead (portfolio.html), but only if /portfolio/ isn't an actual directory on your website.
(I removed your url from the rules because this way it should also work if you use it on another website, or if you change your url. It should still do what you want)
Made sure the server is configured to allow htaccess files to override host options. So in your vhost/server config, you need:
AllowOverride All
