I am trying to redirect every URL from my old site to my new site, so that, if someone goes to say oldsite.com/about it redirects to store.newsite.com/about rather than just store.newsite.com/index.php
I tried the following code but for some reason it always takes me to store.newsite.com/index.php when I go to oldsite.com/about instead of taking me to store.newsite.com/about, and the same goes for every other path on the site. Is there something wrong with what I am putting in my .htaccess file?
Thank you!
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldsite.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://store.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
Just fixed it with this code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.site$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.old\.site$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://store.newsite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I already have this written in my .htaccess file.
Redirects all traffic to my newsite.co.uk except for oldsite.net/dlg and oldsite.net/members
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dlg(/?$|/.*$) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/members(/?$|/.*$) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^.*newsite.co.uk.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newsite.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
However my e-commerce pages at oldsite.net/dlg and oldsite.net/members are currently down. So until these pages are back up, is it possible to rewrite the above code, to remove the exception but make /dlg and/members divert to a particular page on my newsite.co.uk?
Thanks in advance!

I have two domain names for the same website, and need to do a correct rewrite, so that whenever someone accesses the first domain name and all subdirectories, with, or without www. they get redirected to the second domain and subdirectories without www.
I managed to set the redirect for the domain name without subdirectories, but for whatever reason, subdirectories are not getting rewritten.
So when I go to domainnamenumberone.com, or www.domainnamenumberone.com, i get redirected to domaintwo.com – however, when I go to domainnamenumberone.com/wordpress/path or www.domainnamenumberone.com/wordpress/path I remain there, and nothing gets rewritten.
Here's what I placed in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domaintwo\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Would be grateful for your help!
You need to place this rule as very first rule in DocumentRoot/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domaintwo\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domaintwo.com/%1 [L,R=302,NE]
Then add this line in each child .htaccess like wordpress/ or wordpress/path/ (wherever .htaccess already exists) below RewriteEngine On line
RewriteOptions Inherit
You can use that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainnumberone\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domaintwo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
But it seems to me that it should also work with yours.....
try a different browser (cache problem)
I would like to redirect a sub/sub folder url to a specific URL.
It works with normal redirections like:
Redirect /folder https://mydomain.com/therestoftheurl
But i need alot of folder/folder1 or folder/folder2 redirections.
It won't work with this:
Redirect /folder/folder1 https://domain.com/target
I found a reverse Question about this with this solution.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.in$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.in$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
So if i'm not misstaken I could use this without "!" like so. But i think i'm missing something.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.in$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.in$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder/folder$
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and then the redirections which i don't know at this moment to write.
Thanks for the quick help.
You just need to re-order your directives so that the one with subfolders come before the parent redirect:
Redirect /folder/folder1 https://domain.com/target
Redirect /folder https://mydomain.com/therestoftheurl
Trying to get
www.example.com
to go directly to
www.example.com/store
I have tried multiple bits of code and none work.
What I've tried:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\www.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /samle/%1/$1 [L]
What am I doing wrong?
You can use a rewrite rule that uses ^$ to represent the root and rewrite that to your /store directory, like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /store [L]
I was surprised that nobody mentioned this:
RedirectMatch ^/$ /store/
Basically, it redirects the root and only the root URL.
The answer originated from this link
Try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ store [L]
If you want an external redirect (which cause the visiting browser to show the redirected URL), set the R flag there as well:
RewriteRule ^$ /store [L,R=301]
Here is what I used to redirect to a subdirectory. This did it invisibly and still allows through requests that match an existing file or whatever.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?site.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ subdir/index.php [L]
Change out site.com and subdir with your values.
To set an invisible redirect from root to subfolder, You can use the following RewriteRule in /root/.htaccess :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 [NC,L]
The rule above will internally redirect the browser from :
http://example.com/
to
http://example.com/subfolder
And
http://example.com/foo
to
http://example.com/subfolder/foo
while the browser will stay on the root folder.
Another alternative if you want to rewrite the URL and hide the original URL:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /store/$1 [L]
With this, if you for example type http://www.example.com/product.php?id=4, it will transparently open the file at http://www.example.com/store/product.php?id=4 but without showing to the user the full url.
This seemed the simplest solution:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/store [R=301,L]
I was getting redirect loops with some of the other solutions.
Most of the above solutions are correct but they are all missing the transparency of the redirection.
In my case, when visiting www.example.com I wanted to get redirected to the subdirectory /store but without updating the URL to www.example.com/store. (all I want is to get the page code form that directory). If that is your case the solution below works perfectly.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /store/$1 [L]
source: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Transparently_redirect_your_root_directory_to_a_subdirectory
I don't understand your question...
If you want to redirect every request to a subfolder:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ shop/$1 [L,QSA]
http://www.example.com/* -> wwwroot/store/*
If you want to redirect to a subfolder which has the domain name
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^\.]+\.[^\.]+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/$1 [L,QSA]
http://www.example.com/* -> wwwroot/example.com/*
I have found that in order to avoid circular redirection, it is important to limit the scope of redirection to root directory.
I would have used:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/store [R=301,L]
Formerly I use the following code which is work correctly to redirect root URL of each of my domains/subdomains to their correspondence subdirectories which are named exactly as the sub/domain it self as below:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1.domain1.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subs/sub1.domain1.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub2.domain1.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subs/sub1.domain2.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1.domain2.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subs/sub1.domain2.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub2.domain2.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !subs/sub2.domain2.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,QSA]
However when I want to add another subs or domains then it will need to be added in the above code. It should be much more convenient to simplify it to work like wildcard (*) as below:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/subs/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subs/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,QSA]
So whenever another subdomains/domains is added as long as the subdomain name has a prefix of sub (like: sub3.domain1.com, sub1.domain3.com etc.) the code will remain valid.
Two ways out of possible solutions to achieve this are:
1. Create a .htaccess file in root folder as under (just replace example.com and my_dir with your corresponding values):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my_dir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /my_dir/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ my_dir/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Use RedirectMatch to only redirect the root URL “/” to another folder or URL,
RedirectMatch ^/$ http://www.example.com/my_dir
I think the main problems with the code you posted are:
the first line matches on a host beginning with strictly sample.com, so www.sample.com doesn't match.
the second line wants at least one character, followed by www.sample.com which also doesn't match (why did you escape the first w?)
none of the included rules redirect to the url you specified in your goal (plus, sample is misspelled as samle, but that's irrelevant).
For reference, here's the code you currently have:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sample.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.sample.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\www.sample\.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /samle/%1/$1 [L]
One can use Redirect too for this purpose
Redirect 301 / www.example.com/store
Or Alias for mapping
Alias / /store
Edit: mod_alias is only applicable in httpd.conf.
Refrences
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/rewrite/avoid.html
A little googling, gives me these results:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase
/ RewriteRule ^index.(.*)?$
http://domain.com/subfolder/
[r=301]
This will redirect any attempt to
access a file named index.something to
your subfolder, whether the file
exists or not.
Or try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}
!^www.sample.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$
%{HTTP_HOST}/samlse/$1 [R=301,L]
I haven't done much redirect in the .htaccess file, so I'm not sure if this will work.
try to use below lines in htaccess
Note: you may need to check what is the name of the default.html
default.html is the file that load by default in the root folder.
RewriteEngine
Redirect /default.html http://example.com/store/
you just add this code into your .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /folder/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This will try the subdir if the file doesn't exist in the root. Needed this as I moved a basic .html website that expects to be ran at the root level and pushed it to a subdir. Only works if all files are flat (no .htaccess trickery in the subdir possible). Useful for linked things like css and js files.
# Internal Redirect to subdir if file is found there.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_URI} !-s
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/subdir/%{REQUEST_URI} -s
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdir/$1 [L]
I'll answer the original question not by pointing out another possible syntax (there are many amongst the other answers) but by pointing out something I have once had to deal with, that took me a while to figure out:
What am I doing wrong?
There is a possibility that %{HTTP_HOST} is not being populated properly, or at all. Although, I've only seen that occur in only one machine on a shared host, with some custom patched apache 2.2, it's a possibility nonetheless.
