RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I am using Wordpress and this is my htaccess configuration file, everything seems to be working except this one. This URL:
http://olddomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg
Redirects to:
http://newdomain.com/403.shtml
Instead of:
http://newdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg
Examples:
http://mister-gan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-and-clean-2.png
http://ganchinhock.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/simple-and-clean-2.png
May I know why?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.+) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Redirect 301 http://olddomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/abc-1-thumb.jpg http://newdomain.com/403.shtml
Upon #Wige's comment and rephrasing your question it seems that there is a permissions problem in one of the subdirectories on the new domain, as 403 is a permissions error.

I would like to make a redirect using htaccess rules to point ALL links from
mywebsite.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/...whatever-path....
to
mywebsite.com/subfolder1
But the problem is that whatever rule I use it always keeps the old path in the destination link, for example:
mywebsite.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/mypage.php
becomes
mywebsite.com/subfolder1/mypage.php
I tried all the following possibilities:
RewriteRule (.*) https://mywebsite.com/subfolder1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/subfolder2/(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^/subfolder1/subfolder2/(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Redirect 301 /subfolder1/subfolder2 https://mywebsite.com/subfolder1
RedirectMatch 301 /subfolder1/subfolder2(.*)$ /subfolder1/$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/subfolder1/subfolder2/?$ https://mywebsite.com/subfolder1
I have placed the "Options +FollowSymLinks" and "RewriteEngine on" rules before them, but NONE of them worked.
Can someone tell what's wrong and how to find the right rule?
Thank you.
Try this
RewriteRule ^subfolder1/subfolder2/(.*)$ /subfolder1 [R=301,NC,L]
With $1you attach the content of (.*) to the redirected URL. Remove them from code and
http://mywebsite.com/subfolder1/subfolder2/whatever-path
will be
http://mywebsite.com/subfolder1
htaccess 301 redirect. I have this old site which is for example http://test.org/conference I want to redirect it to conference.test.org
What happened is the 301 redirect in my .htaccess file is quite buggy.
Here is my 301 redirect htaccess code below:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/http://test.org/conference(/)?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://conference.test.org/? [R=301,L]
When I test this one it runs and redirects correctly. But when I test it over and over again. It seems not to redirect anymore.
Can someone help me have a htaccess 301 redirect code?
Any help is much appreciated.TIA
I assume this is what you are looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^conference/?$ http://conference.test.org/ [R=301,L,QSA]
Please note that %{REQUEST_URI} only contains the path of the URI, so not the protocol and the hostname. Reason is that the evaluation is performed inside a http host. This is explicitly pointed out in the documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
Depending on your http hosts setup you might also have to add a condition to prevent an endless redirection loop:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^conference\.test\.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^conference/?$ http://conference.test.org/ [R=301,L,QSA]
But usually that is not required, since the rule should be defined inside the test.org http host...
I am having trouble redirecting an entire directory that no longer exists on our server.
All variations of the following are not working and I simply get a 404 Page Not Found.
.htaccess file looks like this:
redirect 301 /non_existent_directory/ http://my.website.com/existent_directory/
Is it possible to use the Redirect 301 directive for this? Or is this only solvable by mod_rewrite?
Thanks
I even tried:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?my\.website\.com\/non_existent_directory\/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my.website.com/existent_directory/ [R=301,L]
No luck...
From the Redirect documentation, I would say
Redirect 301 /non_existent_directory http://my.website.com/existent_directory
or
Redirect 301 /non_existent_directory /existent_directory
should work, provided you are allowed to use this in a .htaccess file. See also Troubleshooting .htaccess files. You should test without 301 though, to prevent caching of bad redirects by the client.
If this doesn't work, you can try a RewriteRule of course
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?non_existent_directory(.*)$ /existent_directory$1 [R,L]
But this is equivalent to the above Redirect directive.
I have looked but can't find anything that works. I have an old site that we have updated. They had everything under a folder called site under the root. Now all the customers who have this bookmarked I would like to redirect them, regardless of what is after the folder site (subfolders, files), to the main page of the new site instead of page not found on our new WordPress install. Any help appreciated.
Old URL: http://www.oldsite.com/site/.... to new URL http://www.newsite.com
I have tried this to no avail
Rewrite Rule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com
Thanks.
try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This redirects something like http://www.oldsite.com/site/some-page.html to http://www.newsite.com/some-page.html (the matching bit of the URI after /site/ gets carried over in the 301 redirect), but if you want to redirect everything for /site/ to the index root of newsite, replace the target in the RewriteRule to http://www.newsite.com/ (remove the $1 bit).
EDIT:
I actually write it wrong above. It is actually the same domain name. The question should read old URL mysite.com/site.... everything under this folder to just redirect to mysite.com
Then what you want is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^site/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
Or alternatively with mod_alias:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/site/(.*)$ /$1
Looks like all you need is this simple 1 liner rule:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^site/ / [R=301,L,NC]
I am writing a multi language website. Therefore I would like some help with a URL rewrite problem.
Case:
When someone visits www.example.com without adding a country code (nl, en, de) the htaccess redirects the visitor to www.example.com/nl/ i.g.
RewriteRule !(nl|en|de)(.*).* /nl/ [R=301,L]
The website is renewed and has got many url's directing to the website (google, forums). i.g. www.example.com/oldpage-nomore.html. What I would like is the following; the htaccess should detect that the request uri doesn't contain nl,en or de and should redirect to pagenotfound.php. RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html /public/oldurl?section=nl¬found=$1$2&basehref=true&%1 [PT,L] the problem with this Rewrite rule is: all files ending in .html are being redirected.
What I am looking for is the following:
When someone visits www.example.com and no request uri is entered this should redirect to www.example.com/nl/
When there is a requested uri and this doens't contain a countrycode (nl|en|de) than redirect to pagenotfound.php
I tried the following but it doens't work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(nl|en|de)$
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*)\.html$ /pagenotfound.php?page=$2 [L,R=404]
I hope someone can help.
Thank you in advance.
Try to place this .htaccess file at the server root folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /nl/ [R]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(nl|en|de)
RewriteRule ^.*/(.*)\.html$ /pagenotfound.php?page=$2 [L,R=404]
(you probably made several mistakes, I tried to fix them)
I'm not sure with the first RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} regular expression - maybe remove the question mark or slash, I don't now... can't test now.
