EDIT: Having issues with the code below
Okay, I'm getting a page that says "The page isn't redirecting properly". This is if someone tries to access /files/protected/file.jpg. I'm trying to redirect it to /myfiles/file.jpg, but instead I get that error...
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /myfiles/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
Essentially, I'm trying to figure out how to add a rewrite condition that will retain part of the path. If a user tries, for example, to access a file within a directory, it redirects to another url with that filename as a parameter.
So, if a user visits: mysite.com/protected/file.pdf, it will redirect to mysite.com/okay/file.pdf
Is that something that I can use .htaccess for?
You need to put your .htaccess file in your site root. Then, assuming you want an external redirection, it should contain the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^files/protected/(.*)$ myfiles/$1 [R=301,L]
Your current rule always matches, so it performs the redirect an infinite number of times, and you end up with that error.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
You want the part about RewriteRule backreferences with regex groups referred to by $N.
For your example, I think this is what you've intended:
RewriteRule ^(mysite\.com/)protected(/.*) $1okay$2

I have searched but cannot find a specific answer for this exact redirect style...
I have this structure of URL with this specific parameter:
https://websitename.com/directory/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart
I want it redirected to:
https://websitename.com/shopping-cart/
Note that the above mentioned "directory" changes, but the index.php with the parameters stay the same. No matter what the directory is, I always want it to go to the same exact redirect.
I cannot seem to get the right redirect working in htaccess. Can anyone help?
You can use this redirect rule as your first rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /(?:index\.php)?\?option=com_virtuemart&view=cart [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /shopping-cart/? [L,R=308]
# remaining rules go below this
You can use a set like this. It takes care on the param view=cart
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)view=cart
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shopping-cart/? [L,NC,R=301]
If you want to keep the querystring params, then change
/shopping-cart/?
to
/shopping-cart/
without questionmark
I'm having some trouble understanding .htaccess basically I'm trying to have more than one rewrite rule; for example I have a profile page and then I also want to rewrite the index page so how would this be done; in my previous attempts I could only use one rewrite rule perhaps I was doing something wrong; I have a profile page with the link /profile/profile.php?user=$username and the index page account.php?page=featured how could I get the profile page to look like /account/$username and the account page to look like /account/featured thankyou also how would I then add more later down the line?
the account.php file is in the root directory.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /tag/index.php?hash=$1&cat=$2
Options All -Indexes
ErrorDocument 403 Denied
that is my current .htaccess which uses the hashtags and shows them like this /tag/$hashtag when I tried to copy and paste this to then use under it it didn't work.
As mentioned in my comment, Apache won't be able to tell which file to rewrite to. So you'll need to change one of the URI structures. As a recommendation, change the one for the profiles.
Here is an example to show you how to do this:
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /tag/index.php?hash=$1&cat=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^account/([^/]+) /account.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+) /profile/profile.php?user=$1 [L]
Remember the [L] flag, which causes rewriting to stop when a match is found.
I'm attempting to redirect URLs in .htaccess that have multiple parameters for example:
http://www.example.com/index.php?p=product&id=10&parent=0
to a clean URL on another domain like
http://example2.com/product/product10/
I believe my normal method of redirection (using a PHP header in an index file of a directory I've created) will not work due to not being able to put ? in a directory name.
I've done some minor .htaccess but have no experience with escaping parameters or anything and the only tutorials I can find are for escaping only a single parameter.
Can anybody give me a few pointers please?
You can use that in your root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=([^&]+)&id=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example2.com/%1/%1%2/? [R=302]
Change [R=302] for [R=301] when test work well.
Unfortunately I didn't get it solved by myself and need to ask for help. I want to redirect all urls which follow a certain pattern (in this case it contains "reviews/category"). These URLs supposed to be redirect to another url which is made up the first one:
http://[product-url]/reviews/category/[category-url]
supposed to be redirect to
http://[product-url].html
Furthermore it shouldn't matter if you call the url with or without www.
Example:
http://example.com/ford-blues/reviews/category/cars supposed to be redirect to http://example.com/ford-blues.html
Any help would be much appreciated.
Following code isn't working
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^reviews/category/?$ $1\.html [R=301,L]
Try:
RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html
in the htaccess file in your document root.
Or using mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/reviews/category/ /$1.html [L,R=301]
I want accesses to e.g. www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 to redirect to www.thatdomain.com/path1/path2
(Note that docs is not a part of the new path)
I have the following on www.thisdomain.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs/* http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
If I access www.thisdomain.com/docs, it directs to www.thatdomain.com, but if I access a child-path like www.thisdomain.com/docs/path1/path2 it fails. Is it possible for the redirect to intercept the child-path access and redirect as I need? If so, any pointers?
Thanks.
With regular expressions, * means any number of the previous atom, which will match /docs and /docs/. Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^docs$ http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^docs/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
(QSA is query string append, so /docs/foo?bar=baz won't lose the ?bar=baz.)
According to section "Redirect Old domain to New domain using htaccess redirect" of the first Google result which I found searching for "htaccess redirect" (without the double quotes), this piece of code will suffice:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
According to their description of the technique, it will redirect the directory the .htaccess file is placed in recursively (including any child paths), just as you intend. Of course, mod_rewrite needs to be present for the rewrite directives to work.
