I have Wildcard Subdomains working perfectly on my server, but would like to optimize the .htaccess code to make it more portable. I'm not sure how to do it.
I would like to replace the specific domain name and extension (DOMAIN and .com in the code below) with a regex match so that when using the wildcard code for other domains it is easy to port. So it should be a drop in replacement for domain.com and domain2.net. Here's the code I use:
# Wildcard Subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?([^.]+)\.DOMAIN\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://DOMAIN.com/$1?a=%2 [R=301,QSA,L]
It's a little different than the usual version you see, because I've added the exception for the www. + subdomain condition. It many cases people enter www.sub.domain.com which breaks on the server. So I check for the www. and remove it before redirecting.
Thanks for your help!
The way you currently have it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www)\.(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteCond %2 !^www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%3.%4/$1?a=%2 [R=301,QSA,L]
If you just want to strip the www from the domain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www)\.(.*)\.(.*)\.(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%2.%3.%4/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]

In cPanel (at subdomain management) I've set up a wildcard like to following:
*.example.com > public_html/subDomainHandler
Every (non existent subdomain) request like abc.example.com redirects properly to example.com/subDomainHandler.
But requests like abc.example.com/subfolder doesn't redirect to example.com/subDomainHandler.
I am not at my best in regular expressions, but can anybody give me a RewriteCondition for .htaccess?
Htaccess Rewrite Rule - Try1
I think your answer could be modeled on https://stackoverflow.com/a/8481076/1688441 .
Try the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com\(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/subDomainHandler/$1 [R=301]
Try2
Another option:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/subDomainHandler%1 [R=301,L]
From: https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/13475/redirect-rewrite-subdomain-to-subfolder
I need help to write proper rewrite rules in my htaccess files.
I need to redirect something like fr.example.com to example.com/fr, because we recently changed the whole website and the multilingual system is managed differently. The structure and the pages too.
I managed to do that successfully with this piece of code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
My problem now is to write something more specific for pages, for example :
fr.example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/fr/bar/foo (different path, nothing consistant)
BUT ! example.com/discover/foo should go to example.com/bar/foo (end of the url is the same in both english and french)
Right now, since I have some common 301 redirects, the french urls aren't redirect properly and lead to the english pages. For example that one :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/otherfoo
Successfully redirects example.com/discover/foo to example.com/bar/otherfoo but also redirects fr.example.com/discover/otherfoo
How can I write two different rules for english and french? I'll have to write a bunch of different rules since everything is very different from the old subdomain to the new directory, I don't mind.
Thanks !
EDIT
Please note that it's for a wordpress installation, and the htaccess starts with :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
First the these rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
should look like this :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fr\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/fr/$1 [L,R=301]
In order to capture bot www & non-www requests for subdomain.
Also this rule :
Redirect 301 /discover/foo /bar/foo
Will capture both requests to domain and sub-domains and using mod_rewrite here is correct not mod_alias so , replace this line with :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/bar/foo [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(fr)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^discover/foo http://example.com/%2/bar/foo [L,R=301]
Note: clear browser cache then test.
I have a website on a domain that I want to move to another domain. Here is my problem. The root URL has to redirect to a different location on the new domain. Example:
http://subdomain.olddomain.com/ must redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/location
http://subdomain.olddomain.com/code/slug must redirect to http://www.newdomain.com/slug
The htaccess code that I have doesn't work ver
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=302,L]
This code works for the second example, but nog on the first. Can anyone help me setup the correct htaccess code?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^code/(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.newdomain.com/location [L,R]
i would like to use the following rule in my htaccess to forward one url to another but it won’t work. Could anybody help me?
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule /cms-page.html http://www.mydomain.com/second-cms-page.html [L,R=301]
the following rule is working, but it would forward the whole domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/second-cms-page.html [L,R=301]
and i can’t use “RedirectPermanent” because there i can’t specify a host. This is necessary because there are multiple domains accessing the same htaccess
Remove leading slash from your regex:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^cms-page\.html$ http://www.mydomain.com/second-cms-page.html [L,R=301,NC]
.htaccess is per directory directive and Apache strips the current directory path (thus leading slash) from RewriteRule URI pattern.
I am using the following code to redirect wildcard subdomains (*.domain.com) to their coresponding folder in /users and redirect direct requests to the /users folder to the subdomain version:
Protect Direct Access to Wildcard Domain Folders:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
Handle Wildcard Subdomain Requests:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !=www [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /users/%1/$1 [L]
This code works well enough, however there are two problems that I can't seem to fix.
The below scenario seems to happen because there isn't a trailing slash on the requesting URI:
username.domain.com/sub1 => username.domain.com/users/username/sub1
username.domain.com/sub1/ => username.domain.com/sub1/
The users directory can still be accessed directly by using a subdomain:
username.domain.com/users/username/sub1 => Works and shouldn't
I'm at a loss and would really appreciate if anyone has any ideas.
Thank you!
For the problem 2, I think your first protection rule just needs to redirect all subdomains. It's redirecting www, but lets username.domain.com come through as-is.
This will redirect any direct access request to the users path.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
I think it can be a little simpler by just looking for any host ending in domain.com (which would even handle no subdomain, just domain.com) (I didn't test this....)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^users/([a-z0-9\-_\.]+)/?(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [QSA,NC,R,L]
For problem 1, I'm stumped too, sorry. It's acting like the trailing slash is failing the rules, so it falls through as-is. But I would expect it to do as you want it to:
username.domain.com/sub1/ => username.domain.com/users/username/sub1/
Perhaps try the %{REQUEST_URI} tag, instead of trying to capture .*. I don't see the difference, but maybe it'll help.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !=www [NC]
RewriteRule .* /users/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
