I want to write a .htaccess file for redirecting my subdomains and URL's last variable to a new location. Here is what I want to do:
http(s)://abc.example.com/books
I want my internal URL to be like:
http://example.com/?name=abc&type=books
I have already gotten the subdomain redirect to work but I am not able to do subdomain with variable in last part of URL.
How can I accomplish this?
This should do what you want:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+).example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)% http://example.com/?name=%1&type=$1 [R,L]
The "%1" means use the first capture group from the RewriteCond above.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ http://example.com/?name=%1&type=$1 [R,L]
The "%1" means use the first capture group from the RewriteCond, while $1 is the first capturing group in the rule itself.
In your example %1 will be "abc" and $1 will be "book"
[^/]* means "match every character not being a slash, 0 or more times"

enter code hereI have a WordPress website.
I have URLs for affiliates that look like this:
https://example.com/folder/?ref=23432
https://example.com/folder/?ref=13442
etc.
I would like to redirect any URL that ends in ?ref= to another domain.
For example, https://example.com/folder/?ref= should redirect to https://example.org/product/
How can I do this? I appreciate your time.
I tried
Redirect 301 example.com/folder/?ref https://example.org/product/
Thank you #MrWhite. I tried the following with no success.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)ref=
RewriteRule ^example.com https://www.example.org/product/$0 [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^example.com https://www.example.org/product/$0 [R=302,L]
The RewriteRule directive matches the URL-path only (less the slash prefix). So this should be matching against folder/ (as per your example), not the hostname.
And the $0 backreference in the substitution string is not required here. So this should simply be:
:
RewriteRule ^folder/$ https://www.example.org/product/ [R=302,L]
If you do need to check the requested hostname (ie. example.com) - if example.com and example.org point to the same server - then you need a separate condition (RewriteCond directive). For example, the complete rule would then become:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)ref=
RewriteRule ^folder/$ https://www.example.org/product/ [R=302,L]
Note that the regex (^|&)ref= matches the ref= URL parameter anywhere in the query string, if there happened to be other URL parameters that preceded it.
Reference:
htaccess redirect URL with parameter when a special parameter exists
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
We have URLs of the form:
www.dev-studio.co.uk.
www.dev-studio.co.uk./a-sample-image
With the help of .htaccess rules, I am trying to remove the trailing dot (co.uk.) in the end of the domain name but I'm failing.
This is the rule I'm trying:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9\.-]+)(\.co\.uk\.)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.dev-studio.co.uk/%3 [L,R=302,NE]
But the %3 which should capture the 3rd group is returning empty.
The goal is to simple redirect www.dev-studio.co.uk./a-sample-image to www.dev-studio.co.uk/a-sample-image
I have tried all the other questions over here but the solutions are not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9\.-]+)(\.co\.uk\.)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.co.uk/%3 [L,R=302,NE]
The HTTP_HOST server variable contains the hostname only (ie. the value of the Host HTTP request header), it does not contain the URL-path, so the %3 backreference is always empty.
You need to either capture the URL-path from the RewriteRule pattern. For example:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [R=302,L]
Or, use the REQUEST_URI server variable (which contains the full URL-path, including slash prefix) instead:
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
This should ultimately be a 301 (permanent) redirect, once you have confirmed it works OK.
Note that since you are redirecting to a specific domain, do you need a CondPattern that matches any .co.uk hostname? You could be specific:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.example.co.uk.
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
The = prefix on the CondPattern changes it to a lexicographical string comparison (not a regex), so no need to escape the dots.
If you wanted an entirely generic solution to remove the trailing . (FQDN) from any requested host then you could do something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.+)\.$
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
Although you might want to combine this with your canonical redirects (eg. non-www to www / HTTP to HTTPS?) to avoid multiple redirects - although they are probably unlikely to occur all at once anyway, so probably not an issue.
I'm trying to achieve, using .htaccess, so I can access all my projects with the configurations of one virtual host setup, and one URL defined in the hosts file. This will allow me to drop a project in the folder and it will function without having me to do any other configurations, and save a lot of time while working.
Example A: prestige.projects.dev is hosted on D:/projects/prestige etc.
Example B: newproject.projects.dev is hosted on D:/projects/newproject etc.
The code below works for the specific situation of Example A, but I can't figure out how to make it work 'dynamically' for all projects. My goal is to make prestige a wildcard. For example: newproject.projects.dev should automatically load the contents of D:/projects/newproject.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^prestige\.projects\.dev$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prestige/
RewriteRule (.*) /prestige/$1
I'm open to other suggestions than this method, as long as the goal is achieved.
Try something like the following instead:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z]+)\.projects\.dev [NC]
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_URI} /%1" !^(/[^/]+)[^\s]*\s\1$
RewriteRule (.*) /%1/$1 [L]
%1 is a backreference to the captured group in the last matched CondPattern.
The second RewriteCond directive is the "wildcard" version of your hardcoded check to make sure the REQUEST_URI does not already start with the directory that matches the subdomain - thus preventing a rewrite loop.
The string %{REQUEST_URI} /%1 (which expands to a string of the form "/<directory>/<anything> /<subdomain>" after the first rewrite) is matched against the regex ^(/[^/]+)[^\s]*\s\1$, which checks to see if /<directory> is the same as /<subdomain (\1 being an internal backreference to the captured group in the regex). Only if this does not match then the RewriteRule substitution occurs - in the same way your current rule works.
i have wildcard subdomains sets already and works fine, now i wish have friends url for the content in thats subdomains, the structure of my site is if the user type subdomain.maindomain.com and the .htaccess redirect to
blogs/index.php?user=subdomain
where blogs/index.php receive the param and show the correct content
now i try to make the url function like this
subdomain.maindoamin.com/24/title-of-content
and then .htaccess must result
blogs/index.php?id_content=24&title=title-of-content
i have the next .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
#this force to server the content always without www.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301]
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteRule ^/(.*)/(.*)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2 [L]
not working because when i make in index.php
echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
don't show idP=24 show /24/title-of-content and i need $_GET(idP)
i really apreciate some light on this stuff i am not expert on htaccess, thanks in advance to everybody.
There are two problems:
The first argument of RewriteRule matches against everything after the slash of the directory .htaccess is in, and before the query string. If .htaccess is in your www-root, and you get the url http://www.example.com/shiny/unicorns.php?are=shiny, you match against shiny/unicorns.php. It will never start with a slash, so ^/ will never match.
Rules are executed in order. If you go to http://sub.example.com/10/unicorns, the second rule will match first and rewrite the request to /blogs/index.php?url=10/unicorns. If you removed the leading slash the third rule would match, but normally you wouldn't want that. You want to have the third rule only match
You want to move the third rule up so it is the second rule. You want to make it more specific to only match with subdomains. You also know the first part contains only numbers, so use that knowledge to prevent blogs/index.php from matching your now second rule. You also need to prevent blogs/index.php from matching the now third rule to prevent it from matching itself. Last but not least I removed [L] from the now second rule, since the third rule will match anyway.
#the next line i can't make work to make nice url
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/([^/]+)$ blogs/index.php?idP=$1&name=$2
#this is to pass the subdomain like param and show the right content of the user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.misite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9]+)\.misite\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/blogs/index\.php
RewriteRule ^ blogs/index.php?url=%1 [QSA,L]
Need to redirect set of hundred or so links from one domain to another. This is my current code (not working):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.onedomain.info/$1/staticword($2.*) [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) http://otherdomain.com/$1/staticword($2.*) [R=301,L]
Redirect domains themsleves is a no-brainer and that's correct I think, then I too think that $1 is correctly - cuz $1 is a variable for 12 different words for sport categories (like soccer or hockey), sometimes there is one word, sometimes the other (but ofc it should be the same, so this is why I have that $1 there - correct me if I am wrong but this could work I think...).
Problem is that after that there is one static word which is not changing (is same all the time in every link - it's something like "watch"...) BUT after that word there can be absolutely ANYTHING which I tried to solve by ($2.*) but it's wrong for some reason.
Can you help please? Thanks!
RewriteEngine On
# HTTP_HOST if to match domain names only
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.onedomain\.info$ [NC]
# On the left hand we match the rest and on the right we redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(staticword.*)/?$ http://otherdomain.com/$1/$2 [R=302,L]
Note that I am using 302, because you want to test it first before change it to 301 so your browser does not get cached with it until you are sure it's working as you want it to.
So given your example http://onedomain.info/soccer/watchfe27789-mexico-vs-trinidad-and-tobago-gold-cup, the rule would be like this:
RewriteEngine On
# HTTP_HOST if to match domain names only
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.onedomain\.info$ [NC]
# On the left hand we match the rest and on the right we redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(watchfe27789.*)/?$ http://otherdomain.com/$1/$2 [R=302,L]
