I try to solve folling problem with .htaccess.
I use it to rewrite everything to "https://" and put "www" in front of every url.
Now I want to use a SSL-certificate. To validate it, I put a html-file in a certain folder. I do not want this to be redirected to "www.". How can I create an exception only for this one file?
Thank you very much for helping me with this maybe kind of stupid question.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
You did not provide an example of URL that should not be redirected to https. But here is an example. This is a simplified version of your .htaccess file.
I have combined the https and www redirect in one directive.
Assume your domain name is example.com.
There is a negative condition (note the exclamation mark). If the request URI does not begin with index.html then the rule fails and is not enforced.
So http://example.com/index.html will not be converted to https, but there is one important caveat: in this case the www. will not be added either. I understand this what you want, then we can have a simplified set or rules.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Where my site is hosted, I'm using .htaccess and it has a condition to remove the www and direct to the main page without the www.
<ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
Header set X-Frame-Options DENY
RewriteEngine On
# Required to allow direct-linking of pages so they can be processed by Angular
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://meusite.com.br [R=301,L]
</ifModule>
The problem is this, when someone accesses an internal page with www, it falls for this check and is directed to the home, example:
If someone accesses the link: http://www.meusite.com.br/conteudo/94-vai-criar-um-site-to-your-employee-said-you-can-noble
It will direct to http://meusite.com under the condition.
What I need, is that it is directed to the following link: http://meusite.com/content/94-vai-create-a-site-to-your-employee-behavior-which-cannot-can- -fine only by removing the www from the link.
Does anyone know if this check is possible in .htaccess?
EDIT:
.htaccess is not able to translate your titles from portugese to english.
You should do redirection to normal domain with full link, and then do internal redirection with your backend (i.e. php, ruby) to proper translated link.
Use following code before your redirection, so links with conteudo will be catched here and redirected properly using backreferences:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\..* [NC]
RewriteRule ^\/conteudo\/(.*)$ http://menusite.com.br/content/$1 [R=301,L]
Soluction:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
Problems:
1) Need ALL urls to always redirect to non-www
2) domain.com needs to automatically redirect to sub.domain.com
Based on other articles here, I've tried:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(sub\.domain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http:://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
[had to insert an extra ":" for this to post]
Which "works", but then all of the links on my site 404.
Can you point out what I'm doing wrong?
Try this code :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
In the comment you provided on Jul. 26th, the rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [nc]
is used to rewrite all requests for html files to requests for php files. This is typically done for SEO, to make the pages appear as static html instead of dynamic php in situations where php is primarily used to reduce code duplication.
In these cases, it is typical that all the page files on the server exist only in php format, and not html format. Therefore, without this rule, all links to .html files will remain as requests to the server for .html files, which will result in many 404s.
I would suggest you simply insert this rule in your .htaccess block in the original question, at the end of your statements. They ought to play well together. The result for completeness:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(sub\.domain\.com)$
RewriteRule ^http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php [NC]
*My mistake, the flags [NC] and [OR] are definitely valid for RewriteCond statements.
I have a codeigniter installation at example.com/ci.
I have a subdomain foo.example.com. The document root for the foo subdomain is set to be home/public_html/ci.
I'm using the following rule in .htaccess to send requests for foo.example.com to example.com/ci/city/foo.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/ci/city/%1/$1 [L]
It all works like I want it to except that the address bar url changes from foo.example.com to example.com/ci/city/foo. I would like it to remain foo.example.com. There is no R=301 in the RewriteRule (used to be but I removed it). The .htaccess file is in the ci/ folder and the rule is above all the codeigniter stuff.
The redirect works perfectly and the url remains foo.example.com with (Jon Lin's answer)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/city/
RewriteRule (.*) /city/%1/$1 [L]
but the codeigniter default controller is called instead of the foo method in the city controller.
Any help is appreciated.
When your rewrite rule's target has an http://example.com in it, a 302 redirect is implicit regardless of whether an R flag is used or not. You need to provide the URI path based on the subdomain's document root, so I'm assuming you want something like:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/city/
RewriteRule (.*) /city/%1/$1 [L]
If the subdomain's document root is in the /ci/ directory.
The other option is to use the P flag to reverse proxy the request:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/ci/city/%1/$1 [L,P]
Your mileage may vary with this (might need to finesse it to fit your server and conditions), but doing some testing on my Mac, here's what I had mild success with:
Directory Structure
public_html/
ci/
application/
system/
.htaccess
index.php
I'm assuming that you have other stuff in your root public_html directory. So I'm letting the .htaccess focus on the CodeIgniter-related stuff by leaving it in the ci dir.
.htaccess
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.ciwildsub\.dev [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/city/%1/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
It's fairly self explanatory, but the first block is your subdomain check. I didn't bother excluding www but you may want to (as I said, your mileage may vary). The second block is a standard CodeIgniter index.php removal.
These rules will only apply to sub.example.com or example.com/ci/ URLs, since as I said, I assume your root has stuff that shouldn't be disturbed by rewrites.
CodeIgniter Config
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'PATH_INFO';
Because of the way Apache handles a URL like example.com/index.php/controller/method, it bypasses the index.php and handles it like any other directory segment. Also, mod_rewrite doesn't necessarily stop at the [L] tag -- it stops processing the .htaccess at that point, passes through the RewriteRule, and then runs that URL through the .htaccess. Setting PATH_INFO helps make sure CodeIgniter pulls the current URI correctly, and our .htaccess doesn't get stuck in a validation loop.
I will note, though, that I'm not entirely happy with what I see in my RewriteLog output -- there has to be a way to optimize this further, I'm just not sure of it yet (I'm done tinkering with this for today!). Sorry if any of the explanation here is a little out of whack - I'm not a server admin or mod_rewrite expert, I've just had fun tinkering with this. If I manage to find a better solution, I'll be sure to update this.
Looks like the END flag would be perfect for situations like this (to prevent [L] loops), but it's only available in Apache 2.3.9+. The search continues.
I got it to work correctly using the following rewrite rule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www)\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/city/
RewriteRule (.*) /city/%1/$1 [L]
and by setting
$config['uri_protocol'] = 'ORIG_PATH_INFO';
in the codeigniter config file. Thanks for all the help.
This worked for me

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.
