I have url's like games/xbox/2
2 being the page number.
some url's are as follows games/xbox-360/2
i need the links to be rewritten.
here is the code i am using which works fine for the links with no - in them
RewriteRule games/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ games/consoles.php?console=$1
RewriteRule games/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ games/consoles.php?console=$1&page=$2
what needs to be added to the reg expression to make it also rewrite the links that have the - in them. Thanks
If you add the - right before the ] it will work. But a better method is to escape the - with a \ so you'll end up with [A-Za-z0-9\-]

I have two URL conditions and I wanted to redirect them like this:
https://www.example.com/feeds/4aceXy to https://www.example.com/direct_feed/4aceXy
Now the problem is, I am also using the URL for an older link like this one:
https://wwww.example.com/feeds/5bdb39711b41d479273e678a6f356603d7109ffc.xml
I wanted to avoid redirect with .xml extension here is my current redirect:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
It works fine but I don't want to redirect it with .xml based URL.
My question is - is there a condition that can help me to avoid the rewrite if a parameter contains .xml in regX (.*)?$
You can use a negative lookbehind:
RewriteRule feeds/(.*)?(?<!\.xml)$ https://wwww.example.com/direct_feed/$1 [QSA,L]
I cant seem to get my htaccess code right for redirecting pages that appear like the below to go to a 410 page, eg:
www.domain.com/-c-23.html
www.domain.com/-c-12.html
www.domain.com/-c-755.html
Basically, I want a rule whereby anything where "-c-" comes directly after the slash of the domain gets sent to a 410. I have been trying to do this but my code isn't working, so far I have something like this:
RewriteRule ^/\-c-[0-9]+\.html$ - [G]
But this makes no difference at all, any idea why this is not working?
You need to get rid of the leading slash in your regular expression. URI's sent through rules in htacccess files have the leading slash stripped off:
RewriteRule ^\-c-[0-9]+\.html$ - [G,L]
You also need the L flag to immediately stop rewriting. You could also be even more general:
RewriteRule ^-c- - [G,L]
Our current htaccess setup correctly converts urls like this: site.com/page.php?sid=Friend to site.com/Friend
However, due to an unrelated oversight, we had almost all of our URLs double-indexed as site.com/Friend> Because the greater than sign is a special character it doesn't call page.php so the > needs to be stripped out in htaccess and can't be done on page.php. Compounding matters is that the way they're indexed is as: site.com/Friend%3E which also might need to be stripped out.
What we would like is to have another directive that looks for an ending of > (or %3E), strips it off, then redirects to the variable that's there without that ending > In essence so that site.com/Friend> (or site.com/Friend%3E) still points to site.com/Friend
Thank you for your help.
Add this to the top of your rules:
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)>$ /$1 [L,R=301]
You can use > because the URI gets decoded when matching in a RewriteRule.
I am trying to get the follow urls to work
www.urlname.com/team/1-Test
www.urlname.com/team/1-Test/members
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^&]+)$ index.php?p=teamprofile&team_name=$2&team_id=$1
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^&]+)/members$ index.php?p=teammembers&team_name=$1&team_id=$2
but when i try the link with /members init it goes to the other page?
can someone help me please
Thanks
[^-] and [^&] includes the / so /members is included with that. you could either add / to your negation character groups like [^-/] and [^&/] so it doesn't match / or move the bottom one up and add [L] after it to tell apache this is the [L]ast rule to check if it matches.
The trouble is, your second rule is being satisfied by the first rule. You could simply switch them around and it will work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^&]+)/members$ index.php?p=teammembers&team_name=$1&team_id=$2
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^&]+)$ index.php?p=teamprofile&team_name=$2&team_id=$1
Although, a slight change in the first rule will also address the problem:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^/]+)[/]?$ index.php?p=teamprofile&team_name=$1&team_id=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^team/([^-]+)-([^/]+)/members[/]?$ index.php?p=teammembers&team_name=$1&team_id=$2 [L]
Note, I changed the match string in the first rule from ([^&]+) to ([^/]+) - that way the forward slash isn't included in the match in cases like mydomain.com/team/1-2/. The [/]? rule at the end is an optional match for that trailing forward slash. I've likewise added one to the end of the members rule as well, now it works like this:
mydomain.com/team/1-2/ - goes to index.php?p=teamprofile&team_name=1&team_id=2
mydomain.com/team/1-2 - goes to index.php?p=teamprofile&team_name=1&team_id=2
mydomain.com/team/1-2/members - goes to index.php?p=teammembers&team_name=1&team_id=2
mydomain.com/team/1-2/members/ - goes to index.php?p=teammembers&team_name=1&team_id=2
Hi I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination and am trying to do a multi 301 redirect in my htaccess file based on the following:
So I have a ton of urls all with similar naming conventions - here is a sample of 2.
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-at-gold/
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-ace-250/
These urls need to redirect to:
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-at-gold/
http://www.hollandsbrook.com/garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-ace-250/
I could just redirect them 1 line at a time, but I'd like to use regex.
Here's what I was thinking so far but not working:
RewriteRule ^garrett-([a-z])/$ /garrett-metal-detectors/$1/ [R]
Basically i need to redirect any page right off the root that starts with "garrett-" to include the folder path of "garrett-metal-detectors".
Any thoughts would be MUCH appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your help.
if you want temprorary redirect use:
RewriteRule ^garrett\-([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-$1/ [R=302,L]
if you want permanent redirect use:
RewriteRule ^garrett\-([a-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /garrett-metal-detectors/garrett-$1/ [R=301,L]
I'm am not an expert on Regular Expressions, but looks like your reg ex may be a bit off...
try:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^((garrett)(-[a-z0-9]).*)/$ /metal-detectors/$1/ [R]
This is looking fro anything starting with "garrett" followed by any letter/number/hyphen combo.
Note: having "garett" in the destination part give you a loop of redirects, so you may have to choose a different word, or remove it all together...
