I cannot find the required regex command in order to do the following:
(1) Search a URL for a specific string (substring of a filename), i.e:
url.com/state/city_someotherdata.php
OR
url.com/state/someotherdata_city_xy.php and other variants of this format;
(2) convert the URL into this format:
url.com/state/city/index.php
What can be done to do this? I have tried this code
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ([^\/?]+)\bozeman(?:\?|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^http:\/\/url.com/montana/bozeman/? [L,R=301]
without success. This data is going into an .htaccess file.
Thanks in advance!
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^state\/([^/]*)([^/]*|$) /state/$1_someotherdata.php [L]
</IfModule>
Let say you are working with Bozeman, Montana. This will do exactly what you need.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*(\/montana\/bozeman\/index.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*(bozeman).*$
RewriteRule ^ /montana/bozeman/index.php [L,R=302,NE]
</IfModule>
You have to use a rewrite condition to exclude the URL you are redirecting to, otherwise the city name (Bozeman in this example) being the same as the folder being directed to, will cause an endless loop.

I have a Forum on my site and need to redirect weirdly generated urls.
Every url contains ?id=, eg:
https://www.example.com/forum/topic/casualthread/page/25?id=casualthread
and I need to remove the ?id= and everything that follows in order to have:
https://www.example.com/forum/topic/casualthread/page/25
I am trying to modify this code I found here on Stackoverflow with very scarce results:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Make sure there is a query string
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /?id= [R=301,L]
The htaccess file i am editing is in the forum directory:
https://www.example.com/forum/
and it redirects everything to the homepage https://www.example.com: what am I doing wrong?
You can use this
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,R]
Since not just id, but also some other parameter(s) may be present in the query string, use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)(^id=[^&]*&?|&id=[^&]*)(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.+) /$1?%1%3 [R=301,L]
I try to write a RewriteRule in the .htaccess but I have problems
I try to redirect from:
blog/entrada.php?id=2
To:
/blog/3D-touch
This is one of the multiple things I tried and does not work:
RewriteRule ^blog\/entrada\.php\?id=2$ /blog/3D-touch [L,R=301]
What is wrong with my Rule. How to redirect effectively?
Thanks
Querystring is not part of match in RewriteRule directive, to redirect query strings, you need to use RewriteCond one of the following options :
option 1
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /blog/entrada\.php\?id=2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /blog/3D-touch? [NC,L,R]
option 2
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=2$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog/entrada\.php$ /blog/3D-touch? [NC,L,R]
We use an empty question mark ? at the end of the target url to discard the old query strings, otherwise these query strings get appened to the target url by default.
Change the R to R=301 if you want to make the redirection permanent.
use from this code
RewriteRule blog/(.*) blog/entrada.php?id=$1
this code will redirect all urls which have blog/ to blog/entrada.php and put after value of blog/ to $_GET['id']
you should have following code n the top location of your htaccess file
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
Some unchangeable hyperlinks on a website point to /folderA/index.php?id=somestuff.
I need to redirect the Request to /folderB/index.php?id=somestuff instead.
I did some experimenting with this but I just can't get it to work, any help is appreciated.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /folderA/index\.php\?id=([\w-]+)$ /folderB/index.php?id=$1
Keep in mind that RewriteRule doesn't match query string and matches only REQUEST_URI without it. Use this code instead:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+folderA/(index\.php\?id=[^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /folderB/%1 [R=302,L]
Assuming that you are not planning on using different get request this should work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /folderA/index\.php\?id=(.*?)$ /folderB/index.php?id=$1
I'm having trouble with this reg expression which i belive is correct, but it is not working.
What im trying to do is redirect bunch of urls containing a specific string like this:
http://www.example.com/**undesired-string**_another-string to http://www.example.com/**new-string**_another-string
and
http://www.example.com/folder/**undesired-string**/another-string to http://www.example.com/folder/**new-string**/another-string
So i have this code in the .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.+)+(undesired-string)+(.+) $1new-string$2 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
This should replace ANY undesired-string in any url to new-string, but it is not working, any idea why ?
Thank you
Marwen: Try this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)undesired-string(.*)$ yoursite.com/$1new-string$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ yoursite.com//$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
In your 'updated' code in the comments above, you had it applying the rewrite condition to the undesired-string... So if the actual file or directory was valid it would not rewrite...
Doing this though will always rewrite the undesired-string with new-string - even if its a file name... If that is fine or what you want then all you had to do was move your rewrite conditions to below the rewrite rule...
also.. Just an fyi.. If everything is on yoursite.com you dont need to list yoursite.com
i.e.
yoursite.com/$1new-string$2
just needs to be
/$1new-string$2
which does the same thing: rewrites to the base directory of yoursite.com
now if they are going from mysite.com to yoursite.com then you woulud want to include the domain name because you are redirecting across domain names
Edit: You may also want to use:
[QSA,L,R=301]
instead of just [L,R=301]
Your regex is not really correct. Try:
RewriteRule ^(.*)undesired-string(.*)$ $1new-string$2 [R=301,L]
Or if this doesn't work, try:
RewriteRule ^(.*)undesired-string(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1new-string$2 [R=301,L]
Explanation:
^ marks the beginning; $ marks the end; the first (..) goes to $1, the second (..) goes to $2 and so on; * is 0 or more chars; + is 1 or more chars.
To answer my own question. Laravel already redirects the trailing slashes. Problem was that Laravel was installed into a sub-directory. I added the location of the sub-directory to the redirect. My location in this case is: "/lumen/public/". See the fixed htaccess below.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
Options -MultiViews
</IfModule>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /lumen/public/$1 [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I have the following in my .htaccess currently-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^go/([^/]*)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ http://foo.com/wp-content/plugins/foo/cloak.php?post_id=$2&link_num=$3&cloaked_url=$0 [L]
RewriteRule ^go/([^/]+)[/]?$ http://foo.com/wp-content/plugins/foo/cloak.php?name=$1&cloaked_url=$0 [L]
</IfModule>
I want to change it so that the domain 'http://foo.com' is auto-detected and inserted (or just left off if it's unnecessary.
I'm hoping to use this .htaccess to manage multiple mapped domains to the same code base and can't really have it work with a specific URI in there.
Use RewriteCond for that:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^foo.com$
RewriteRule ...
