I have a CodeIgniter 2.0 application in a subfolder of our existing corporate site. I plan to add functionality to the site through this application which is in a folder named "ci."
The documentation of CodeIgniter explains .htaccess use in a "negative way" in that EVERYTHING is redirected EXCEPT exceptions. I am paranoid about doing this and "breaking" my existing site.
How would you write the .htaccess to ONLY redirect /news requests to a controller named News and /careers requests to a controller named Careers without preventing the original site from working as it does now?
I have NEVER used .htaccess before and have just "endured" the index.php out of fear of breaking the site. I did do some research before asking -- besides the CodeIgniter User Guide, I also found "The Comprehensive Guide to .htaccess" (http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml) and URL Rewriting (http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/urlrewriting.html) which were in depth but did not clarify for me what to do.
Thanks in Advance,
Jon
The expressionengine documentation on writing out index.php shows examples of both the 'positve' and 'negative' ways you refer to.

After I have upgraded my site I see that once I go live with new version some parts of the website URLs will not be redirected for gallery, blogs and files because of new structure. And there is no way fixing it within the CMS. So my goal is to use NGINX redirects.
I wonder do any of you know any NGINX rewrite tricks to make such redirects possible?
website.com/forums/blogs/ into website.com/blogs/
website.com/forums/gallery/ into website.com/gallery/
website.com/forums/files/ into website.com/files/
I actually need the part forums dropped from the URL only and ONLY when the address is going for forums+blogs/gallery/files. Don't want to loose that google traffic.
So for example
website.com/forums/blogs/entry123/my-dog/ is redirected to
website.com/blogs/entry123/my-dog/
BUT
website.com/forums/topic/my-dog/
is left alone and working just like before because the following subfolder is neither blogs or gallery or files.
I needed that once on Apache and this one worked but on Nginx I have no idea.
RewriteRule ^forums/(blogs|gallery|files)/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [L,R=301]
You can try something like
rewrite ^/forums/(blogs|gallery|files)/(.*)$ /$1/$2;
Please note that rewrite directive accepts some flags wich meaning depends on where is it placed (is it inside a server or location block). Detailed documentation is here.
I have a website build on Silverstripe 3.
Now I want that a user can enter the Subdomain URL info.mydomain.com and see the content of the page mydomain.com/subpage-url/. But without redirection. The subdomain URL should stay in their browser.
I already created the subdomain and let it point to the root directory of my website. As I understand it right I now need some rewrite conditions in my .htaccess file? And that is the point I struggle with. I googled a little bit and did some trail and fail but nothing seems to work. Maybe I understand it totally wrong, used the wrong rewrite conditions or insert them on the wrong place.. Maybe there are Silverstripe specific issues to pay attention to?
Long story short: I need help please!
As Robbie Averill pointed out in his comment, you could install the Subsites module. But you'd have to create a Subsite (eg. a separate site-tree) for every domain.
There's another module though, the homepagefordomain module. With that module you can specify one (or multiple) domains per page. When you visit one of these domains, the page that was specified as home-page for that domain will show up. I think this is a more flexible approach than messing with the .htaccess file.
I have some issue regarding .htaccess redirection. I have checked a post regarding .htaccess redirection of one page to another domain page.
How to redirect a single web page from one domain to another using .htaccess
I have tried these code but when i use this code it is getting redirected but all the other pages on the old domain website are showing 404. Please help me.
Please note: I am not a developer and don't have any knowledge about the codes so please provide a simple solution so that i can directly implement on the website. I will be very greatful to you.....:)
I have an e-commerce developed with the CMS Prestashop.
Yesterday i have seen in my Webmaster Tools that i had some duplicated URL, like this:
www.mysite.com/manufacturers
www.mysite.com/it/manufacturers.
Where 'it' is the suffix of the default and only language for the website.
I've already activate the friendly URL in the back-office and also I've a .htaccess file generated automatically by the generator in the back-office.
What should I do to fix this issue?
PS: Also I think that I've already taken a penalization from googlebot.
First of all let me clarify the Title from the SEO point of view. The problem is from Prestashop side not from SEO side. It is just affecting your SEO.
Now on the problem, Prestashop is notorious for URL problems. I would not recommend you the .htaccess hack solution because every time you regenerate your .htaccess from you backend, you have to manually insert that hack again in it to keep the problem down. And suppose this url problem arises again after sometime for some other url than you have to do it again. It can turn into a nightmare.
So here are some of my personal recommendations...
If this site is critical(which I am assuming), buy a Prestashop url rewriting module from a trusted provider. You will also get a technical support in case this problem arises again in future.
If you can't buy than I would suggest you to ask this question on Prestashop forums, as this is Prestashop specific, to permanently solve this problem. You will most likely to get more instant answers as you will find more people working on Prestashop there than here.
Somewhere either in the htaccess file in your document root, or in the vhost/server config for mysite.com, you'll need to 301 redirect. Now you just need to choose which one you want to keep, the one with /it/ in front or the one without? Let's say you want to point everything to the one without, you'll use one of these:
Using mod_alias:
Redirect 301 /it/manufacturers /manufacturers
Using mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mysite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?it/manufacturers(.*)$ /manufacturers$1 [L,R=301]
My main site www.mysite.com is using drupal
I would like to create a WP blog at blog.mysite.com (I know I can create a blogging platform using drupal but don't wanna do that, WP is best for blogging it simply rocks)
I'm quite new to .htaccess and was wondering if there's a way to get
www.mysite.com/blog pointing to blog.mysite.com (since mysite.com/blog is better for SEO)
(but not redirecting there, it just has to load from there, so visitor sees mysite.com/blog in their browser)
If you have mod_proxy enabled, you can use the [P] flag to internally proxy www.mysite.com/blog requests to blog.mysite.com. In the htaccess file for www.mysite.com's document root (above any drupal related rules):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?blog/(.*)$ http://blog.mysite.com/$1 [L,P]
If you don't have mod_proxy, you may need to setup WP somewhere in the same document root as your drupal site (like in /blog/) and get wordpress to work in a subdirectory. I've had mixed results in getting that to work with another CMS so not sure how much help I can give you there.
gvanto:
Thanks. I don't have mod_proxy but I think it may cause issues having it under a subdomain and accessing in this fashion (e.g. what will all the internal links be pointing to?). The 2nd option of having it in a subfolder is probably best: http://drupal.org/node/877828
