I have a rewrite in my .htaccess file that sends people from example.com to example.com/home
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ home [L,R=301]
How do I do this but then strip the string "home" from the url bar so that it appears to be example.com? I'm not interested in any subdirectories after home as the rest of the site lives in the root.
Full Context
# Perch Runway
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn on RewriteEngine
RewriteEngine On
# When user goes to the home page send to .com/home and strip /home
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ home [L,R=301]
# Cache Busting
RewriteRule (assets[/])([^.]*).min.+.(css|js)$ $1$2.min.$3
# Perch Runway
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/login
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(/sub-directory-one|/sub-directory-two) [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . /login/core/runway/start.php [L]
</IfModule>
Use below rule,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !home /home%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
When you use the R|redirect flag, Apache sends a redirect status to the client. The client then requests the new URL (e.g. http://www.example.com/home) and displays the new URL.
To avoid this behaviour, you do not send a redirect (e.g. R), but silently rewrite internally to the new URL. This way Apache sends the contents of the target without notifying the client.
To just rewrite internally from / to /home, keep the existing rule, but remove the R flag
RewriteRule ^$ /home [L]

I can open my site like this:
www.mysite.com
or like this:
www.mysite.com/index.php
I want to create a htaccess rule that redirects www.mysite.com/index.php to www.mysite.com. But all my attempts have other side effects. I've tried:
Redirect index.php home.php
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ home.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^index.php/?$ redirect_to_home.php [NC,L]
But all of these mess up the original index.php call. So it does redirect but then the normal mysite.com link doesnt work anymore.
Any ideas?
Could you please try following.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*/)index\.php$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
Explanation:
Making RewriteEngine On to make the rules work.
Mentioning condition by RewriteCond to REQUEST_FILENAME which checks if mentioned file in browser is present.
Then checking if THE_REQUEST which has complete details of request(including URL and GET/POST method) if it has index.php in it.
Now checking if REQUEST_URI is having index\.php in requested url, where saving everything before it to temp buffer memory to retrive its value later(basically its domain name).
Finally in RewriteRule to redirect complete URL with index.php to till domain name only as per requirement(R=301 is for permanent redirection on browser side).
Use this redirect rule to remove /index.php from any path:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*/)index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301,NE]
I have a Wordpress set up which requires redirection when the user enters the root of the site to a static HTML file start.html
http://www.myhomepage.com/
Redirect to
http://www.myhomepage.com/start.html
Wordpress adds url rewrites for calls to index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I only want to redirect
http://www.myhomepage.com/
and not
http://www.myhomepage.com/buy/
This will not work as all requests to Wordpress goes through index.php.
redirect /index.php /start.html
I guess I need a redirect for all pure requests to index.php and not those with query strings. Though I can not figure out how to rewrite it.
The reason is that I want all users that enters the site to get a static html of the wordpress site. Only when the user starts to navigate the site should request be made against wordpress.
EDIT: I required the rule to apply only on GET requests
It can be done without mod_rewrite, with mod_dir and the DirectoryIndex Directive.
DirectoryIndex start.html
Add this line:
RewriteRule ^/?$ /start.html [L]
just after this line:
RewriteBase /
In addition to #Oussama solution, as I have a form which posts to itself on the first page. Posting to start.html would not work. I added a condition so that rule only applies to GET requests. That way form post would be sent to index.php as usual.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
RewriteRule ^/?$ /start.html [L]
Final file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
RewriteRule ^/?$ /start.html [L]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I hope you can help me with this 301 issue.
Introduction
I've just published a re-design of a website with new clean urls. The old webpage had urls like this: www.domain.dk/Default.aspx?ID=66. And the new website urls look like this: www.domain.com/contact
So I wan't to redirect all these old urls to the new ones, and therefor i'm not keeping the old urls and no general rule can be applied.
That's just simple 301 redirects, but at the same time the old domain points to a new domain, and this is where things get dirty, I think. The old domain was www.domain.dk, but i wan't to 301 all traffic to the new domain www.domain.com and at the same time I wan't to make all the individual 301 redirects.
The problem
When I click on the link www.domain.dk/Default.aspx?ID=66 in Google I get this URL in my browser: www.domain.comindex.php/?ID=66.
On other links I get www.domain.comdefault.aspx/?ID=2
So the redirecting to the new domain works fine? But the individual redirects doesn't apply at all.
The code
This code is pasted as is from my .htaccess file on the server running apache.
The first bit is auto-generated by Concrete5 CMS to make pretty URLs.
# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --
This is the code I found to 301 redirect all traffic to urls that is not using www.esvagt.com to www.esvagt.com
## --- 301 Redirects --- ##
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com$1 [R=301,L]
This is just one of the manual 301 redirects.
## General - Redirects ##
redirect 301 /Default.aspx?ID=66 http://www.domain.com/contact/contact-us
Thanks in advance. If you need more information I'll gladly provide that.
I have zero knowledge about writing code in .htaccess, so I'm pretty clueless. I hope you can help. :)
Avoid mixing mod_rewrite and mod_alias rules.
Ordering of rules is also very important so have 301 rules first and then have your catch all controller rule
Use this code for 301 redirect:
## --- 301 Redirects --- ##
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.dk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
## General - Redirects ##
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+Default\.aspx\?ID=66[&\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.domain.com/contact/contact-us? [R=301,L]
# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --
RewriteRule www.domain.dk/Default.aspx?ID=66 domain.com/contact/contact-us [R=301,L]
If you want to redirect all posts automatically:
RewriteRule /Artical.aspx?ID=(.+?) domain.com/article-title-$1.html [R=301,L]
or
RewriteRule /Artical.aspx?ID=(.+?) domain.com/Post.aspx?ID=$1 [R=301,L]
Then the dynamic url Artical.aspx?ID=20 will be redirect to http://www.domain.com/article-title-30.html,
I successfully apply this method for my blog http://downloadapp.info
I have a primary site running ExpressionEngine and I am trying to get YOURLS running in a subfolder called "work", ie: http://foo.com/work/ for short urls and EE is running at the root, ie: http://foo.com/. Please note there is no 'www'.
The problem I am having is that when I use a short URL and a user adds "www" to the URI, such as http://www.foo.com/work/123 I get a redirect chain that looks like this:
http://www.foo.com/work/123 302 redirects to
http://www.foo.com/work 301 redirects to
http://www.foo.com/work/ which returns 200
Everything works fine if you omit the 'www' from the URI. YOURLS is set up to use the non-www but the worry is that some users might habitually type the 'www' as these URIs are being placed on printed ads.
The root .htaccess file looks like this:
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
# BEGIN ExpressionEngine Rewrite
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.foo.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://foo.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
# END ExpressionEngine Rewrite
The /work/ (YOURLS) .htaccess looks like this:
# BEGIN YOURLS
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /work/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /work/yourls-loader.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END YOURLS
How can I get the 'www' URIs to work like the non-www URIs do without completely hosing EE? :)
I faced a similar issue. Some end users or people publishing the short urls tend to append them with www while the short url was bought with the intention of using it without www.
I also installed the YOURLS redirect index plugin to forward homepage visitors to our regular homepage.
So I had a few different types of urls:
short domain homepage, should lead to the regular https homepage
short domain YOURLS admin panel, should lead to the https admin panel
short domain shortened urls, should lead to the long url
I wanted all urls to work with or without www and make sure http was forwarded to https.
My solution was to start .htaccess with these lines:
# Force HTTPS (because of passwords via /admin) and use clean domain (non www)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.examp.le [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://examp.le/$1 [L,R=301]
I know that there is a lot of examples on Stackoverflow but I still miss something.
I'm trying to redirect http://old.domain.com/fr/ to http://brand.new-domain.com/fr/ with the following rules, but that doesn't work:
# Enable Rewrite Engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Add a trailing slash to paths without an extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [L,R=301]
# Redirect domain
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.domain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^other-old.domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://brand.new-domain.com/$1 [r=301,L]
# Remove index.php
# Uses the "exclude method"
# http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Exclude_List_Method
# This method seems to work best for us, you might also use the include method.
# http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Remove_index.php_From_URLs/#Include_List_Method
# Exclude root files
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php) [NC]
# Exclude EE folders
RewriteCond $1 !^(assets|ee-admin|images|templates|themes|fr|nl)/ [NC]
# Exclude user created folders
RewriteCond $1 !^(assets|css|img|js|swf|uploads)/ [NC]
# Exlude favico, robots, ipad icon
RewriteCond $1 !^(favicon\.ico|robots\.txt|pple-touch-icon\.png) [NC]
# Remove index.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(ACT=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^(URL=.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
It correctly redirect when I call the root URL, but not when I call a page. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

When writing mod_rewrite rules, the rules get applied in the order that they appear.
To redirect an old domain to a new domain, you'll want that rule to be first in your .htaccess or httpd.conf file — all other rules should appear after it.
If you only want to redirect a certain directory, the following rule will do so, while allowing the rest of the site to function normally:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Only Matching Directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(fr|fr/.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://brand.new-domain.com/fr/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
If you want to redirect the entire site, the following rule will do so:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect Entire Site to New Domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^other-old.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://brand.new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
If you care about letting crawlers know your content has moved and want to make the transition as seamless as possible, be sure to keep the 301 Redirect flag in the RewriteRule.
This will ensure that users and search engines are directed to the correct page.
While we're on the subject, as part of the EE 2.2 release, EllisLab now "officially" offers limited technical support for removing index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs.
Simply add or update your code to the following, making sure to consider any rules you may already have in place:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Removes index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
# If 404s, "No Input File" or every URL returns the same thing
# make it /index.php?/$1 above (add the question mark)
</IfModule>
Try to use the following ruke as the first one:
# Redirect domain
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old.domain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^other-old.domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://brand.new-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Also mind the upper case R with is the short form for the lower case redirect.
Have you tried using mod_alias simple redirect instructions (a core module that you have), before trying the hacky-mod-rewrite thing?
I would do a VirtualHost with ServerName old.domain.com and in this VH I would add this rule:
Redirect /fr http://brand.new-domain.com/fr
from doc:
Then any request beginning with URL-Path will return a redirect request to the client at the location of the target URL. Additional path information beyond the matched URL-Path will be appended to the target URL.
So get a separate VirtualHost for brand.new-domain.com (with ServerName brand.new-domain.com) and in this one do not set the Redirect Rule.
If you still want to handle the 2 domains in the same VirtualHost then you'll have to use mod-rewrite as even RedirectMatch cannot check the request domain on the query.
