I m new to url rewrite:
First, here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Current URL: www.example.com/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/something.php
Desired URL: www.example.com/subdirectory1/something/
And, the name of subdirectory2 is fixed.
Possible?
My current htaccess just to remove the ".php" but also not working. (Any idea how to debug htaccess??)
RewritEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [^/]$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^(?!subdirectory1/|subdirectory2/)(.+)$ subdirectory1/$1 [L]
Thanks.
Your first problem is RewritEngine on. You are missing an e. Should be RewriteEngine on.
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
# Remove .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.php$
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/fixed/([^/]+).php$ /$1/$2/ [R=301,L]
# Rewrite "friendly" URL into php.
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /$1/fixed/$2.php [L]
This only works for exactly what you said. Fixed is always the same. Replace it with the correct value.
The users goes to: www.example.com/1234/fixed/5678.php. He is redirected to www.example.com/1234/5678
User goes to www.example.com/1234/5678. On the server, this becomes www.example.com/1234/fixed/5678.php.
Something like www.example.com/1234/5678/9abcd will not work. (More than two levels of directories.)

I am rebuilding a real estate site and we have completely restructured how the database handles the properties and I am now trying to redirect all of the old property urls to the new ones. The problem that I am having is that the old urls used multiple parameters(including the section and the property id) for a single property and the new urls only use a slug for the property name.
Example:
OLD: https://www.example.com/listings.php?sect=1&view=92
NEW: https://www.example.com/listings/tombstone-ranch
My current .htaccess looks like the following with the last two lines being the rewrites for converting the slugs into clean urls...all of this works fine.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# remove .php; use THE_REQUEST to prevent infinite loops
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.php\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
# remove index
RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301]
# remove slash if not directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]
# add .php to access file, but don't redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
RewriteRule ^listings/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)$ /listings/index.php?s=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^listings/([a-zA-Z0-9-/]+)/$ /listings/index.php?s=$1 [L]
The Problem that I am having is that neither of the following seems to work:
Redirect 301 /listings.php?sect=1&view=92 /listings/tombstone-ranch
and neither does this:
RewriteRule ^listings.php?sect=3&view=33 /listings/tombstone-ranch
or any other variations that I have tried.
Any thoughts? .htaccess is not my strong suit and unfortuinately I need to get these to work considering the old version of the site and it's urls have been around for almost 8 years now so there is the potential for dead links on about 75 properties.
Could you try this rule. Can't test it at the moment.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} sect=1&view=92
RewriteRule ^listings\.php$ /listings/thombstone-ranch/? [L,R=301]
Also the rule you added will not work because you must add a backslash
Wrong:
RewriteRule ^listings.php?sect=3&view=33 /listings/tombstone-ranch
Right:
RewriteRule ^listings\.php?sect=3&view=33 /listings/tombstone-ranch
Don't forget since your main URL is a query, you should use the first option that I gave to you. If that doesn't work leave a comment and I'll be glad to help you out
I'm looking for a solution to redirect old urls (e. g. aboutme.php) to the new ones (same /about-me).
The problem is: if I'll go to example.com/aboutme.php, the user is not redirected to pretty url (/about-me). Adding R=301 doesn't help - it makes /about-me redirect to aboutme.php.
Here's my .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Specify search friendly URLs
RewriteRule ^about-me$ /aboutme.php [L]
RewriteRule ^portfolio$ /portfolio.php [L]
RewriteRule ^motion$ /motion.php [L]
RewriteRule ^contact$ /contact.php [L]
RewriteRule ^contact-thanks$ /contact_thanks.php [L]
</IfModule>
You have to make it in the other direction.
If you want to rewrite aboutme.php to about-me
you should use
RewriteRule ^aboutme.php /about-me [R=301,L]
EDIT:
The place /about-me has to be present. If not, you can redirect this virtual place to a file (say rewrite.php) which gets the actual file from database or some configuration. Place the following rules at the bottom of your htaccess rules.
#don't rewrite the rewrite script
RewriteRule rewrite.php - [L]
#as example don't rewrite the image folder
RewriteRule ^images - [L]
#everything else that doesn't match a rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ rewrite.php?file=$1 [QSA,L]
after that you can access your requested virtual file in rewrite.php with $_GET['file'].
EDIT:
your rewrite.php could look like this: (this is the simplest way todo. but you have to do some error checking etc.)
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
$config = array(
'about-me' => 'aboutme.php'
);
include($config[$file]);
?>
On a site I'm working on, if you enter the url, plus 1 directory, the htaccess adds a trailing slash.
So, this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts
Becomes this: http://www.mysite.com/shirts/
The htaccess that runs the site is quite long and complex, so it's not easy to find or test which rule is causing the rewrite. I was able to track down the issue to this line of code (I think):
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Does this rule match the behavior I'm describing above? It seems to be the cause, but it doesn't make logical sense to me. I don't unsderstand where the trailing slash is coming from.
Can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks in advance.
Edit: MORE:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
By default apache will add the ending /, you will have to use:
DirectorySlash Off
To disable that behavior which is caused by mod_dir, you can read more about it here.
However if you're trying to remove the / to fix images not showing. That is not the right way to do it, you should instead use the HTML base tag, for example:
<BASE href="http://www.yourdomain.com/">
Read more here about it.
Your current rule as you have updated on your question:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Means:
if domain on the URL is only mysite.com
redirect current URL to domain with www.
So an example of it would be, if you access:
http://domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
It will redirect the user to:
http://www.domain.com/blog/some_blog_article
Note how it retains everything and only add the www. to the domain.
If you really want to redirect it regardless here is one way to do it:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# check if it is a directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
# check if the ending `/` is missing and redirect with slash
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
# if file or directory does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and we still want to append the `/` at the end
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
I have:
mydomain.com/folder-name/segment1/segment2
I want to change it to:
mydomain.com/segment1/segment2
using a 301 redirect.
I've tried:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L]
but its not working
here is my htacess file:
# #AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/b1/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /b1/$1 [R=301,L]
The answer for the first part of the question should be like this:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? $2/$3 [R=301,L]
The second code that you've tried is the opposite of what you're asking for initially. This line matches anything not starting with /test/:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/.*$
This line says take everything and rewrite it to the /test/ directory:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L]
So together anything that's not in the test directory is being rewritten to the test directory.
If you're trying to specifically remove the word test then you would remove the ! symbol in your attempt to create a match. Since you already know it's called test there's no need to even make Apache perform this look for 'test' because Apache handles the RewriteCond statement after the RewriteRule (rather unintuitively).
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?test
You can specialize the rewrite rule like this (I've added [QSA] to catch any query strings:
RewriteRule ^test/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? $1/$2/ [R=301,L,QSA]
Simply change your code to:
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC]
I'm trying to rewrite some parameters to beautiful links, but for a subdomain / a folder only. Unfortunately I can't get it to work, maybe also because there are some other rewrites in line before...
Heres my code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# NON-WWW TO WWW
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# WORDPRESS-BLOG
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# REDIRECT FOR SUBDOMAIN
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.example.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)(?:/)?$ index.php?cshort=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(?:/)?$ /index.php?cshort=$1&cid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)(?:/.*)?$ /index.php?cshort=$1&cid=$2&step=$3 [L]
</IfModule>
Basically only the last part is the one I want to rewrite to change URLs from something like
http://subdomain.example.com/index.php?cshort=abc&cid=123&step=1 to http://subdomain.example.com/abc/123/1
The other rewriting rules for www.example.com shouldn't get affected. Unfortunately my current codes only does the first two rules for the blog and the www, but nothing happens on the subdomain. What's wrong in my code?
When you say that you want to rewrite from http://subdomain.example.com/index.php?cshort=abc&cid=123&step=1 to http://subdomain.example.com/abc/123/1 you mean that you want the user to enter the pretty URL and to have it serve the full URL in the background, not that you want to redirect from the ugly to the pretty URL, right?
In your RewriteRules, what are you trying to accomplish with "(?:/)?"? As written, that doesn't make any sense to me. If you're just trying to match whether or not the directory path ends with a slash, you can do that as follows:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ index.php?cshort=$1 [L]
EDIT: Additional suggestions:
Move the "Redirect for subdomain" section above the "Wordpress Blog" section. Since the Wordpress rule applies to "everything that's not a real file or directory, regardless of domain" that should go last.
RewriteConds only apply to a single RewriteRule that follows them. For each of the three rules you have listed under "Redirect for subdomain", after updating them per the above suggestion, you need to repeat the two RewriteCond lines in front of the RewriteRule.
