I need a hand with creating a regex rewrite rule for my .htaccess.
Here's the problem. My previous URLs structure was:
http://example.com/whatever-the-url-is/?lang=en
now I turned it into
http://example.com/en/whatever-the-url-is/
I'd like to create an .htaccess URL that 301 redirects all the URLs from the previous structure to the new one.
Also the .htaccess is shared between different domains, and so there should be
RewriteCond %{http_host} !^example.com$ [NC] condition at the beginning...
Is it possible? Do you have any suggestions?
You can use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)lang=(.+?)(?:&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1? [R=301,L]
You can add the RewriteRule after RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(?:en|fr|sp)/ [NC]
Where you test if langcode is already in the url.

I want to be able to redirect url such as domain.com/cat-1/long-tail-kw.html to new domain and url such as differentdomain.com/goodname.php?id=long-tail-kw
Also, the cat-1 will change often, it could also be cat-271 or whatever number.
How can I do this in .htaccess file?
Also, the redirect must work with this code that sends the people who come from bing ONLY to the new url.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (bing)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://differentdomain.com/goodname.php?id=long-tail-kw
Thanks!
You can insert a new rule for this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} (bing)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://differentdomain.com/goodname.php?id=long-tail-kw [L,QSA,R=302]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^cat-\d+/(.+?)\.html$ http://differentdomain.com/specificname.php?id=$1 [L,QSA,R=302]
In the RewriteCond you can use the regular expression. So I think you can try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^cat-([0-9]+)long-tail-kw\.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://differentdomain.com/goodname.php?id=long-tail-kw
Consider this URL:
www.sub1.sub2.sub3.subdomain.domain.com
The only thing that is a given is "domain.com". Now, I want to forward this UGLY url to: subdomain.domain.com. So somehow I have to get the subdomain.
I tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)/.([^.]+)/.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%2.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Which won't work, as htaccess doesn't support look behind.
Any workaround for this problem?
You can use this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+?\.([^.]+\.domain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R=301]
My current rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)?$ index.php?a=$1&v=$2&id=$3 [L]
The result above works great so I can format the URL like
domain.com/a/b/c
I would like to add in a domain switch as well so the results I want is
sub.domain.com/a/b/c when you access it using domain.com/a/b/c
Currently here is what I have tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)?$ index.php?a=$1&v=$2&id=$3 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
But the result of this is
http://sub.domain.com/a=a&v=b&id=c
and needs to be
http://sub.domain.com/a/b/c
Thanks for the help!!
Reverse the order of your rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)/([^/.]+)?$ index.php?a=$1&v=$2&id=$3 [L,QSA]
Make sure to test this after clearing your browser cache.
Thus far I've gotten this far with my RewriteConditions but it's from hacking and slashing from internet examples. They seems to behave a little funny at times, like showing the directory in the url, so I assume I'm not doing it right.
The desired behaviour: I have multiple subdomains all pointing to the same root. Based on the subdomain value I want to redirect to a sub-folder in the root. I also want to force HTTPS. I have multiple subdomains, but I'll only show two for the sake of brevity. All the other conditions are virtually identical.
Here's my .htaccess code:`
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} purchase.mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !purchase/
RewriteRule (.*) https://purchase.mydomain.com/purchase/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} booking.mydomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !booking/
RewriteRule (.*) https://booking.mydomain.com/booking/$1 [L]
`
Thank you,
Mike
Change your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(purchase|booking)\.mydomain\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =purchase.mydomain.com
RewriteRule ^((?!purchase/).*)$ /purchase/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =booking.mydomain.com
RewriteRule ^((?!booking/).*)$ /booking/$1 [L]
http:// or https:// in target will redirect instead of rewriting.
I spend the last 2 days searching and learning about .htaccess to redirect all subdomains to a user folder
without changing the url, but i keep having 3 little problems. I really would appreciate some help
problem 1)
If i go to http://www.example.com/users/foo it automatically redirect
the url to http://foo.example.com/ but if i go to http://www.example.com/users/foo/dashboard.php
it does nothing, instead of redirecting to http://foo.example.com/dashboard.php
this is the code i use:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /users/(.+)/\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/(.*)$ http://$1.example.com/$2 [R=301,L]
problem 2)
if i go to http://foo.example.com/dashboard.php
it gets its information from http://www.example.com/users/foo/dashboard.php
but if i type foo.example.com in the address bar (in firefox) it (sometimes) automatically redirect
to www.foo.example.com, can i prevent the www prefix?
this is the code
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/users/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^.]+)\.example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) /users/%1/$1 [L]
problem 3)
the campaign website is locaded in the folder http://www.example.com/website but should be
visible on the url http://www.example.com/ (like i get the information from http://www.example.com/users/foo
on the url http://foo.example.com/).
About problem one I would just check the host:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^users/([^/]+)/(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [R=301,L]
About problem second this is a modified rule which I got from the drupal .htaccess file:
# remove www prefix
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%.domain.com{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# redirect to the subdirectory
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ user/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
About your third problem check this one here:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ website/$1 [R=301,L]
