Two things:
Firstly - I have version 2 of a website located in a folder named v2, and I want to redirect any traffic that is NOT a child of the v2 folder, to www.example.com/v2
The old site located in the root was created in iWeb and has a LOT of subfolders and sub-subfolders.
So:
www.example.com/v2 = New site
www.example.com/Page.html
www.example.com/category/Page.html
ww.example.com/category/subcategory/Page.html = All generic examples of what I need to redirect.
Secondly, and I don't know if this is possible, I want to hide /v2/ in the URL, so that visitors will just see www.example.com/page even though they are actually on www.example.com/v2/page
Links are hardcoded to the v2 folder, like so <a href="v2/contact.html">
Any help is MOST appreciated. I've spent hours trying to figure this out, but I'm only just learning about htaccess and regular expressions, and am totally confused.
Thanks so much!
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^v2/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ v2/$1 [L]
rewrite everything by including v2 before it .
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ v2/$1 [L]
www.example.com/Page.html should now be processed as /v2/Page.html
You should not include v2/ in the url being sent to the user.
it would then become v2/v2/

I am trying to make this work, please help me in it, if you can:
1.
I have a specific folder on an old domain, with a lot of subfolder.
Looking like this:
OLD-DOMAIN / FOLDER / something1 etc.
2.
I would like to redirect it to a new domain's specific ABCD folder.
NEW-DOMAIN / ABCD / FOLDER / something1 etc.
I have been using this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(FOLDER)$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.newdomain.com/**ABCD**/%1 [L,R=301,NC]
The code is working just fine for the first FOLDER, but not for the deeper subfolders. The /something1 doesnt redirecting through the chain.
How can I make this special redirect to every subfolders?
Thanks in advance!
Just change your rule to this:
RewriteRule ^FOLDER(/.*)?$ http://www.newdomain.com/ABCD/$0 [L,R=301,NC,NE]
Clear your browser cache before testing this change.
I have a website that looks like this (the Ferrari is not a physical folder is an alias virtual):
www.example.com/en/ferrari
and I would like to convert this site into a sub-domain, like so:
ferrari.example.com
or something like:
ferrari.example.com/en/
The idea is to have all sub-pages from the Ferrari section working inside the sub-domain.
I don't know if this is even possible, all my .htaccess test didn't worked out.
I am searching for a re-write rule but I don't seem to find it.
EDIT:
Let me rephrase the question, I don't want to REDIRECT from example.com/ferrari to ferrari.example.com
What I want is to show the example.com/ferrari site when someone opens ferrari.example.com. That is the difficult part. If someone opens ford.example.com, I want to show all the pages that are inside example.com/ford.
You can use that in your root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ferrari\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/ferraricars [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?:en/)?(.*) en/ferraricars/$1 [NC,L]
Work with ferrari.example.com/en/other and ferrari.example.com/other -> example.com/en/ferraricars/other
I had faved this link a year ago and it worked for me.
PS: I don't remember, and I'm not sure, but I think that I have added some other flags in the htaccess. Let me know if it not working on comments.
With directadmin it would be possible with creating a subdomain + hatcc redirect
I'm developing an app in php, and I need to set up a pretty broad .htaccess redirect. I did some reading and tried to write the RewriteConds myself, but it's a bit above my paygrade - I'm hoping someone with more experience can help. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
The app is contained in www.example.com/app/. Don't redirect anything above this directory.
Some files exist in this directory that will need to be accessed. Currently these are /app/includes/* and /app/sb_pages/*. This will change and expand in the future, so I need an elegant solution that encompasses all existing files. It's fine if the redirect triggers within these directories when a file isn't found - all I care about is being able to access the files within without the redirect triggering.
All other requests should be redirected to /app/index.php, with the trailing url passed in the querystring. For example, a request to /app/path1/path2/ should redirect to /app/index.php?path=path1/path2/
The redirect should not be transparent. When the user requests /app/path1/path2/, I want them to believe they have remained there. They should not see the url change to /app/index.php?path=path1/path2/.
Just for added clarity, here's a few cases to elaborate:
/app/includes/sidebar.php should not redirect.
/app/includes/nothing.html does not exist - redirect is OK
/app/path1/path2/ should redirect to /app/index.php?path=path1/path2/. User should still see their current URL as /app/path1/path2/.
I hope I've explained it clearly and pre-empted most questions. If you need clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks in advance for the help!
Try adding this to your .htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^app/(.*)$ /app/index.php?path=$1 [L,QSA]
Note that if you want accesses to existing directories (as opposed to files) to also not be redirected, add a RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d above the rule.
Here's the scenario, I have a website that used to be a static HTML site and WordPress blog using a subdomain (http://blog.domain.com).
I recently combined everything into a single WordPress installation. To maintain old links I had to rewrite requests like "http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name" to "http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-name". My problem is that when trying to visit just "http://blog.domain.com", I get redirected to "http://domain.com" when I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog".
So, if a user requests "http://blog.domain.com" (by itself, with or without slash), I want it to go to "http://domain.com/index.php/blog". If they request an old URL of "http://blog.domain.com/some-link-to-a-post", I want it to redirect to "http://domain.com/some-link-to-a-post". In other words, if it's a URL to an actual post, I just want to strip the "blog" subdomain. If it's the old link to the main blog page, I want to remove the "blog" subdomain and append "/index.php/blog"
http://blog.domain.com/ -> http://domain.com/index.php/blog
http://blog.domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title -> http://domain.com/index.php/2010/10/16/post-title
Hopefully that's clear. I'm not an htaccess expert, so hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks in advance!
Using the [L] command at the end of a rewrite will tell htaccess that this is the last rule it should match. If you put a rule to match your first condition at the top and the other rewrite rule you said you had already created after it, you should get your expected result.
Try this:
RewriteRule ^blog.domain.com(/?)$ domain.com/index.php/blog [L]
# Your other rewrite here #
I couldn't get that solution to work. However, I used the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/index.php/blog/$1 [R=301,L]
That ends up in a URL like http://domain.com/index.php/blog/index.php/2010/06/04/post-title, but Wordpress is smart enough to fix it.
EDIT
After a comment from Seth below, and heading to a helpful apache page here, I have found that VirtualHosts are the way to go for the following issue.
/edit
--ORIGINAL POST--
First, a little background on file setup. I am running a LAMP server that hosts multiple domains. I have staging and live sites on this server, under different directories under the web root.
examples
/webroot/live/site1/[public files]
/webroot/live/site2/[public files]
/webroot/stage/site1/[public files]
/webroot/stage/site2/[public files]
The domains for each of these go to the IP of the server, which points at the webroot directory. I have an .htaccess file there to load the appropriate content based on the http_host.
examples
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site1-live.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /live/site1/$1 [PT,L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site1-stage.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /stage/site1/$1 [PT,L,QSA]
These work great for hitting the home page and any of the internal pages, even with the specific pages being like site1-live.com/view/123. Each site's htaccess handles those.
My issue (sorry it took so long to get here):
When I head to any subdirectory within a site, like www.site1-live.com/rss, the content loads just fine, but the URL changes to something like the following
http://www.site1-live.com/live/site1/rss/
Essentially showing the path from the webroot to the files.
How can I avoid this? I obviously want the url to remain www.site1-live.com/rss. Do I need an htaccess file inside the rss directory to block this somehow?
Thanks in advance!
replace ^www with ^(.*)
then have the whole url in the second line www.yourdomain.com/live/...
Doug,
why do you need the QSA flag?
Anyway, what is happening to you is that mod_index (or whatever is serving you directories) is redirecting you www.site1-live.com/rss (without the ending /) to the equivalent URL with the ending /.
If you don't use mod_alias or something list that on the rewritten URLs, removing the PT should work as you expect.
