I have a bunch of .htaccess rules that follow this format
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.lazygamer\.co.za$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lazygamer.net/$1 [R=301,L]
Now I need to put in a new rule to include a category string in my URL and was given this code
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)/$ /category/$1/ [R]
But it's not being fired for some reason, can someone please show me how to change the above string to match the rule further up.. so I check for some condition before executing the rule?
I only need this rule to fire if the url is in the format http://www.lazygamer.net/post-name/ and not when the url is in the format http://www.lazygamer.net/category/post-name/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/category/.*$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/ /category/$1/ [R]
My htaccess file now looks like this and solves the problem
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^images.lazygamer\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(wp-content|wp-admin|wp-includes|fixed|contact-details|advertise|about|category|submission|images|ps3|xbox-360|wii|other-news|video).*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.lazygamer.net/fixed/$1 [R=301,L]
The second last line ignore the root folder which kept me up all night...

Here is what I need to redirect to a temporary HTML page:
http://www.domain1.com/?Itemid=230
should get redirected to:
http://www.domain2.com/temoporary-solution.html
Here is what I came up with, just not sure if it will cause any issues between the rest of the .htaccess rules (this is the first rule):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Itemid=230$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://domain2.com/temoporary-solution.html [R=302,NE,NC,L]
Your rule should work fine. Just append ? at the end of target URI to strip off existing query string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Itemid=230$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://domain2.com/temoporary-solution.html? [R=302,L]
Those rules are fine. The conditions are pretty strict so as long as it's the first rule, it won't break anything else.
Hey guys I'm having a bit of trouble getting my htaccess to redirect properly and was hoping for some help.
I'm expecting DEV-domain.com?CampID=AB12345 to redirect to
http://DEV-www.domain.com/landing/external-marketing/direct-mail/AB?CampId=AB12345
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DEV-(www\.)?domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^CampID=
RewriteRule (\w{2})(\w{5})$ http://DEV-www\.domain\.com/landing/external-marketing/direct-mail/$1?CampId=$1$2 [R=301,L]
Unfortunetly I can't get it working for some reason?
Because the RewriteRule matching is meant for the url path, not query strings. Try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^DEV-(www\.)?domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^CampID=(\w{2})(\w{5})
RewriteRule .* http://DEV-www.domain.com/landing/external-marketing/direct-mail/%1?CampId=%1%2 [R=301,L]
also you don't need to escape dots . in the target url, only in matching patterns. And be aware that if you decide to make your target url CampID instead of CampId, you need to put in another condition:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/landing/external-marketing/direct-mail/
to avoid an infinite redirect as a target with CampID would match your RewriteCond rule...
I have this link: http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi.php?id=2790,
and i want to change it to http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi/2790
With this code I can change the link to /lajmi/2790 but i get 404 error.
I mean i get the link
http://www.domain.com.mk/lajmi/2790, but it has 404 error (i dont se the content)
This is my code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com\.mk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ http://domain.com.mk/lajmi/%1? [R=302,L]
What I am doing wrong ?
Try this one :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ http://domain.com.mk/lajmi/%1? [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1&r=0 [L]
(the &r=0 in the final rule is for not getting an infinite loop)
Single direction rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
This means that every uri of kind /lajmi/2790 will be passed to /lajmi.php?id=2790 in a sub-request.
However, in this case, if the user hits /lajmi.php?id=2790 by himself, then this is the url he will see in the browser, not the "beautified one".
Bi-directional rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
; Redirect lajmi.php?id=2790 to a beutified version, but only if not in sub-request!
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} !=true
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d*)$
RewriteRule ^lajmi\.php$ lajmi/%1 [R=301,L]
; Make the beutified uri be actually served by lajmi.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com\.mk$
RewriteRule ^lajmi/(\d*)$ lajmi.php?id=$1 [L]
Here, an additional RewriteCond was added to the first rule checking that this is not a sub-request, to ensure that the rules do not loop.
You can pick which way you like, but the first approach is enough if you build the links in your HTML in the 'beautified' way already (no need to redirect the browser twice just to see the page).
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/ex-ex[/]*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subsite/ex [R=permanent,L,NE]
I am redirecting mysite.com/ex-ex to mysite.com/subsite/ex
This is working fine, but mysite.com/ex-ex/page1 redirects to mysite.com/subsite/ex. How can I redirect to mysite.com/subsite/ex/page1?
How can I append the remaining part of url also to new url pattern?
This would do it:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/ex-ex(.*)$ /subsite/ex$1 [R=permanent,L,NE]
Edit: added a slash in the Rule
I remember that redirectmatch can't handle question marks but how can I match this url:
http://www.mysite.com/es/?lang=es&url=index.php&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=42&product_type_id=1&product_type_1etcetcetc`
to remove the lang=es&url= from before the index.php when there is a folder name present?
My problem would be solved if I could either remove the /es/ folder from the URL when presented with the ?lang=es&url= query string or I could remove the query string ?lang=es&url= from the URL when the folder is /es/
There are about 11 languages, with country codes fr, de, etc and one odd one out zh-CN. This is just past my capabilites at the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read this and any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: mainly working now. I'm just having a small problem with the zh-CN language as it seems to be acting differently from the other en, fr, de etc, languages which are doing what I want, staying in English even when double clicking on another language. However, the zh-CN language redirects to the homepage with http://www.seed-city.com/?lang=zh-CN&url=index.php&zh-CN
I currently have this in my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/../
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=..&url=index.php&(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1index.php?%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(zh-CN|zh-TW)/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)&url=index.php&(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1index.php?%1 [R=301,L]
I have much more after but this is the relevant part. Thanks for your time. Natastna2.
If I understood your requirement properly this will work in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/es/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=es&url=index.php&(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1index.php?%1 [R=301,L]
Using above role a URL like this: http://www.mysite.com/es/?lang=es&url=index.php&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=42&product_type_id=1&product_type_1etc
will be redirected to:
http://www.mysite.com/es/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=42&product_type_id=1&product_type_1etc
EDIT
As per your edited section here are the rewrite rules that should work for now:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/../
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=..&url=index.php&(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1index.php?%1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(zh-CN|zh-TW)/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} lang=(zh-CN|zh-TW)&url=index.php&(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1index.php?%2 [R=301,L]
