How do I set up an .htaccess file to redirect requests to another folder on another domain? I don't want the links to break, I just want them to go elsewhere. Say mysite.com/image.jpg would redirect to site2.com/images/image.jpg.
In .htaccess (in Apache at least):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^images/(.*)$ http://www.yahoo.com/blah/$1 [R=302,L]
Now, what a big surprise, the official documentation has lots of useful examples, including what you are looking for. Yeah, it really sucks that Google is down so often.
You could use mod_rewrite to redirect the request. If you want to redirect everything:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ http://other.example.com/images%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
And if you just want to redirect requests with a path that end in .jpg:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.jpg$ http://other.example.com/images%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
This should help:
Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/

I had to change the name of a subpage and now the problem is that all shared links on Facebook, Twitter, etc. are not working anymore.
That's why I am trying to redirect only a part of a URL with .htaccess but I have no solution yet.
It should work like this:
www.mydomain.com/feeds/details/ --> www.mydomain.com/highlights/details/
I hope you can help me!
It will depend on your server but you are looking for something along these lines
//Rewrite to www
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /feeds(.*) /highlights/$1
You can try rewriting the URL using RewriteRule, like follows:
.htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/feeds/details$ /highlights/details/
Hope, that works for you.
You can find more information here.
I took your tip and adjusted my reality.
My problem:
https://example.com/contact/example.com
My solution:
RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/example.com(.*) $1/$2
After solution, redirect:
https://example.com/contact/
I have a website set up where I store all my user profiles in /member-centre/member-directory/USERNAME
My problem is that a number of referrals are posting to a depreciated structure of /members/USERNAME
Is there a way I can configure my .htaccess file to automatically post the requested USERNAME to the correct location? All i've found on google is static redirection.
If this is not possible through .htaccess, is there another method I could use?
Many thanks in advance
If you are looking for a redirect solution, Jon Lin's will work fine. If you want to do a rewrite then put the following in your .htaccess file in the root of your domain
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members/([^/]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule . member-centre/member-directory/%1 [L]
if member/centre etc is relative to the root filesystem and not your domain then replace the last line with (just leading slash)
RewriteRule . /member-centre/member-directory/%1 [L]
Do you mean something like:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/members/([^/]+)/? /member-centre/member-directory/$1
This redirects the browser with a permanent redirect.
Try something like this:
RewriteRule ^members/ /member-centre/member-directory/ [L]
I have this url
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/?page_id=61
and i want to redirect to the root like this
http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
here is my htaccess
RewriteEngine on
redirect 301 /?page_id=61/ http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com
but nothing is happening...any ideas
Also I was wondering if there is a way also in .htaccess to delete a duplicate /about ...so for example if the url is
http://somesite.com/about/about
it will rewrite the rule to always be
http://somesite.com/about
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page_id=61$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mmametals.com.php5-20.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_URI) ^/about/about[/]?
RewriteRule (.*) http://somesite.com/about? [R=301,L]
should do it.
I don't know the exact answer off the top of my head as I don't work directly with apache that much any longer, but I think you need to look into apache's mod_rewrite module. Try taking a look at:
Apache's mod_rewrite documentation
This post about blocking certain URLS
I have my main Joomla installation in a subdirectory. I used to redirect users from www.mysite.com to www.mysite.com/subdir with a 301 so that the live site was entirely dislocated over there.
I don't actually like the fact that all the URL are preceded by the subdirectory /subdir/ (and I also think this is not very good for SEO) so I modified my .htaccess file like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add trailing slash if path does not contain a period or end with a slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#Change http://yoursite.com to http://www.mysite.com (Optional)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#Rewrites http://www.mysite.com/subdir to http://www.mysite.com/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdir/$1 [L]
I also edited the configuration file for Joomla! so that now all the links in the site point (correctly) to www.main.com/theirquery and noto to www.main.com/subdir/theirquery
Now, however, all the old links (that have been posted to other webistes, for example) appears to be broken (404): how can I solve this?
I think I have to redirect (301) them to the new subdirectory-free address, that will be (another time) silently redirected with the htaccess I posted.
But I don't know how to do this!
Thank you in advance!
Can you try setting the $live_site parameter in configuration.php? You need to edit it directly rather than through the backend of Joomla.
You need to add this to your htaccess.
RewriteRule ^subdir/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
This is not possible since the old links where not physical but stored in a database, so redirecting them wouldn't be possible without passing through the database again.
I have this code in my htaccess but it is not working.
RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /
RewriteRule viewtopic\.php?t=([^/]+)$
http://newdomain.com/viewtopic.php?t=$1
How to redirect the page of viewtopic.php?t=1 to viewtopic.php?t=2000 to my new domain?
In addition to Daniel Gehriger's solution, add [L,R=301] at the end of the line. This will make Apache send the 301 Page Moved code to your client, informing it that the page has indeed moved permanently. This will cause search engines, RSS readers etc update their links (if they are clever enough).
You need to escape the . and ? in the pattern.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule viewtopic\.php\?t=([^/]+)$ http://newdomain.com/viewtopic.php?t=$1 [L,R=permanent]
just incase someone here have problem as mine, i use this code to redirect an html page to a sub domain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule sharecrypt.html http://cryptool.sharepirate.com [L,R=301]
