I'm trying to remove the index.php from the URL, which is working with the .htaccess examples found on the EZPublish site and ForceVirtualHost=true. The problem is that the old links that point to index.php are no longer working (which is problematic when linking from search engines).
I've tried to find a fix for this in using rewrite rules in .htaccess, but I can't get this to work. Some of my attempts are:
Attempt 1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php
RewriteRule ^index\.php(.*) http://www.mysite.com$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
This attempt causes an infinite loop.
Attempt 2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(index\.php)?(.*)$
RewriteRule %2 index.php [L]
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
Also doesn't work :-(.
NB. 'RewriteRule .* index.php [L]' is necessary to make the virtual host setup in EZPublish work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in your settings/override/site.ini.append.php:
[SiteAccessSettings]
ForceVirtualHost=true
Try to check the request line instead:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /index\.php
RewriteRule ^index\.php/?([^/].*)?$ /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule !^index\.php$ index.php [L]

I am trying to implement 301's for sub-pages on my site which is hosted on an Apache server (Fasthosts), using Rewrite scripts in the .htaccess file. I have tried to follow many pieces of documentation (infact, I've never had any problems implementing 301's using .htaccess before!) but on this particular website, nothing seems to work.
There is currently a 301 re-direct in there from non-www to www which is working fine. There are also some other snippets using regex which I imagine are for the CMS.
Below is the current state of the .htaccess file. An example of a 301 I'm trying to re-direct is in there (Lines 5 & 6)
Old page: http://www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
to New page: http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london
.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^junkwize.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/$1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london [R=301]
#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ — [F]
RewriteRule ^([/admin]+)$ admin/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([/admin]+)([/blocks]+)$ admin/login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^([/blocks]+)$ index.php [L]
# RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&id=$2&menu=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^([/deals]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&id=$2 [L]
# RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)-([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&leftmain=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1&leftmain=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)$ index.php?main=$1 [L]
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks.
This code is faulty and is not going to work:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.junkwize.com/home-Garden%20Clearance
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.junkwize.com/services/garden-clearance-london [R=301]
Reason is that RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} can only match host name. Replace that code with this:
RewriteRule ^home-Garden\ Clearance/?$ /services/garden-clearance-london [R=301,L,NC]
I have:
mydomain.com/folder-name/segment1/segment2
I want to change it to:
mydomain.com/segment1/segment2
using a 301 redirect.
I've tried:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L]
but its not working
here is my htacess file:
# #AddHandler application/x-httpd-php53 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/b1/.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /b1/$1 [R=301,L]
The answer for the first part of the question should be like this:
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? $2/$3 [R=301,L]
The second code that you've tried is the opposite of what you're asking for initially. This line matches anything not starting with /test/:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/.*$
This line says take everything and rewrite it to the /test/ directory:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /test/$1 [L]
So together anything that's not in the test directory is being rewritten to the test directory.
If you're trying to specifically remove the word test then you would remove the ! symbol in your attempt to create a match. Since you already know it's called test there's no need to even make Apache perform this look for 'test' because Apache handles the RewriteCond statement after the RewriteRule (rather unintuitively).
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?test
You can specialize the rewrite rule like this (I've added [QSA] to catch any query strings:
RewriteRule ^test/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/? $1/$2/ [R=301,L,QSA]
Simply change your code to:
RewriteRule ^test/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC]
I have several urls on a Joomla site which have been indexed and I need to 301 redirect them into some new pages. The old URL is formed like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=20
I want it to go to:
http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease
I tried using:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ http://www.www.mydoamin.com/en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
I've tried several answers on here but nothing seems to be working.
htaccess 301 redirect dynamic url
and
301 Redirecting URLs based on GET variables in .htaccess
Any ideas what I should try next? (I've tried a normal redirect 301)
You've almost got it. You need to remove the leading slash from your rule's pattern because it's removed from the URI when applying rules from an htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease%1? [R=301,L]
You also don't need the http://www.www.mydoamin.com bit (2 sets of www). At the end of your target, you have family-disease%1, which means if start=20 then the end of your URL will look like: family-disease20. Is that right?
The new URL doesn't have the query string in it, so it is just stripping of the last URL path part. If you want it hardcoded
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or a little bit more flexible
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/.+$ /en/family-members/family-disease? [R,L]
or if you just want to keep two levels after en/wfmenuconfig
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/(.+?/.+?)/ /en/$1? [R,L]
Never test with 301 enabled, see this answer Tips for debugging .htaccess rewrite rules for details.
If you just want to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease, then you must try these directives:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease [R=301,L]
But if that's not what you want, but to redirect http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$var into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease$var then you could check this one:
# once per .htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /en/family-members/family-disease%1 [R=301,L]
Now, give this one a little more try if it will work. If it's not, then find any suspicious why this code is not working:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /en/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} start=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule ^wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english /family-members/family-disease [R]
And go to http://www.mydomain.com/en/wfmenuconfig/family/family-disease/177-category-english?start=$AnyNumber if it's redirecting into http://www.mydomain.com/en/family-members/family-disease just make sure that your web server have mod_rewrite.
I just wanted to throw this out there, I was also having trouble getting the RewriteRule to work. I have a client that upgraded to a WordPress powered site from .asp pages. What I had to do to get this to work is insert the RewriteCond and RewriteRule in the htaccess file BEFORE the "# BEGIN WordPress" section. Now it works just as it should.
This is posted way late, but hopefully it helps someone else out there running into the same issue.
Doesn't Work:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
Does Work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^var=somestring$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^oldpage\.asp$ http://www.domain.com/newpage? [R=301,L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Order of operations must be important =)
Quick question, and I've seen it asked hundreds of times, but I just can't seem to get it to work (shame on me).
I'm trying to redirect anything other than index.php to view.php?id=$1 where $1 is anything other than index.php - but I can't seem to get it to work.
For example:
http://domain.com/ should use index.php
http://domain.com/index.php as should this
but..
http://domain.com/sdgoi3 should use http://domain.com/view.php?id=sdgoi3 etc
I've tried a few things and gone down through the questions above but to no avail.
Anyone got a solution? Appreciated.
Try putting this in the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^view\.php - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=$1 [L]
The logic here is:
if the request URI is / rewrite to index.php
if the request URI starts with index.php, don't change and pass through
if the request URI starts with view.php, don't change and pass through
if the request is to a non-existing file or directory, pass to view.php with the id param
Maybe something like :
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^view\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ view.php?id=$1 [L]
?
I have 2 questions.
I am currently using wamp server to serve my website.
The homepage is 'localhost/prefix/index.php'
Question 1:
a. I would like it so my home page is:
'localhost/prefix/'
instead of
'localhost/prefix/index.php
b. I would like it so:
'localhost/prefix/admin/profile.php'
is
'localhost/prefix/admin/profile'
How do I go about doing this (I have googled and I am very confused by the syntax)?
Question 2
If I have a url like
'localhost/prefix/games?title=hi'
how can I make it so the url is like this:
'localhost/prefix/games/hi'
Thanks in advance!!
I really have got lost.
EDITED::///
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [R]
Is what I have so far.. It does nothing... But everyone says it should! (the htaccess file is doing something because if I do something random, it throws up errors).
EDITED::///
This seems to remove .php and index.php from the url:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /prefix/
# remove .php; use THE_REQUEST to prevent infinite loops
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.php\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
# remove index
RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301]
# remove slash if not directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]
# add .php to access file, but don't redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
Problem now is that my prefix base is not working so it ends up going to
localhost/something/something
rather than
localhost/prefix/something/something
Any ideas?
EDITED::///
I have sussed out that the above code actually works perfectly if the page i'm directing to is in a sub folder. so for example.. this will work:
localhost/prefix/admin/dashboard
But this (because the file is in the root directory, doesn't)
localhost/prefix/login.php
it redirects me to
localhost/login
Any ideas?
EDIT::///
If you are having problems getting it to work. close your browser down and restart... I had caching issues.
This code above will remove .php and also remove index.php.
