htaccess file set /prod/ as / - apache

How can I write the .htaccess that it removes the /prod?
I have this document tree:
/
/prod
/dev
now I want that my URL looks like https://example.com and not https://example.com/prod when I want to see the content of /prod
I already tried this but in only redirects from / to /prod:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prod/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /prod/$1 [L,R=301]

This probably is what you are looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?prod$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/?prod/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dev/?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prod/?
RewriteRule ^ /prod%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
This will work likewise in the actual http server's host cnfiguration or, if you do not have access to that, in a distributed configuration file (".htaccess") located in the host's DOCUMENT_ROOT folder.

.htaccess rewrite in subdirectory

I am currently deploying a number of sites from one hosting account. I have all of the sites in their own folder including the primary domain. The issue I have is when I rewrite the primary domains address with my current code, it includes the subdirectory in it. So currently if I type in http://www.example.com/url it rewrites to https://example.com/folder/url. I just want it to rewrite without the folder.
Any ideas. I know I am complicating this by running my primary domain in a subdirectory, just trying to clean up hosting as best as possible.
In my public_html .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ folder/index.php [L]
and in public_html/folder .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
So currently if I type in http://www.site.whatever/url it rewrites to https://site.whatever/folder/url.
This is a "redirect", not a rewrite.
This is happening because of the use of the REQUEST_URI server variable in your HTTP to HTTPS redirect in your public_html/folder .htaccess file:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
The REQUEST_URI server variable contains the full URL-path of the request, which, by the time the subdirectory's .htaccess file is called, has been updated to contain /folder.
You need to either:
Move your canonical www to non-www and HTTP to HTTPS redirects to the .htaccess file in the document root. (This would be preferable if you have no other mod_rewrite directives in your public_html/folder .htaccess file.)
OR,
Modify the above directive to use the $1 backreference (to the captured RewriteRule pattern) as you are doing in the preceding www to non-www redirect. For example:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
(Note that this should ultimately be a 301 redirect, once you have confirmed it works OK.)
And don't forget to escape literal dots in the regex.

htaccess redirect all subdomains to the same directory

I want to be able to redirect all subdomains to a folder:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.+)$ "http://example.com/subdomains/%1" [L,P]
for example, if some visits sub1.example.com it will keep the URL but show example.com/subdomains/sub1 and if the sub1 directory does not exist, it will show example.com/404
Is this possible?
I tried the above code but its showing me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.
Wordpress says:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
and at the top of my htaccess file, is:
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} admin.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /admin/system/$1 [L]
Your above .htaccess would externally redirect the calls, as you use a full URL as the target.
In your question you say you want to keep the hostname, so I will assume that is the requirement.
0) Enable rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
1) Rewriting known subdomains to their directory in /subdomains
# Rewrite known subdomains to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /subdomains/%1/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have not rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
then rewrite it to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
So, if the request was
http://foo.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/foo/
2) Rewriting unknown subdomains to /404
# Rewrite missing unknown subdomains to /404/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /404/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have already rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
and it is not existing as a file
and it is not existing as a directory
and it is not existing as a symlink
then rewrite it to /404
So, if the request was
http://bar.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/bar/
by the first RewriteRule from 1).
If /subdomains/bar/ does not exist, the second RewriteRule from 2) will kick in and internally map it to
/404/
3) Test-Environment
I actually tested all of this with exemplary code, available here: https://github.com/janpapenbrock/stackoverflow-36497197
I'd say you are experiencing a permission issue. I guess your Apache server runs as apache user. Use chmod to give apache access to this path.

redirect to subfolder

I have set up url redirect on my host--but its not working.
my htaccess looks like this now
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
rewriterule ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L] #4d3a8d4534e567
what i want is any request to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info to be redirected to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/
but any request to a path file or directory off the root not to be redirected
this so people can still access the old site via /home.html or index.html etc.. and still be able to navigate outside the wordpress folder
Try this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?bangkoksoftball\.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /wordpress/ [R,L,NE]
Remember there is NO presence of http/https in %{HTTP_HOST} or %{REQUEST_URI} variables. Also . needs to be escaped in domain match. NE flag is for not escaping the query parameters.
The rewriterule line does not look at the domain, you must specify the domain the rule applies to in the RewriteCond line. In the rewriterule line, you specify first the paths that should trigger the rule, and the path the user should be sent to instead.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This will send only requests to www.bangkoksoftball.info/ to the wordpress folder. If you want to also redirect www.bangkoksoftball.info/index.php to the wordpress folder, you would need to add an additional set of directives:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This should work for you as it worked here:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?bangkoksoftball.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/$1 [R=301,L]

Site Down For Maintenance

I have a site arranged as follows with subdomains as subdirectories:
/ [webroot]
/subdomain1/
/subdomain2/
I'd like to create an htaccess file that rewrites all accessed files to maintenance.php w/ 503 message, but I'm not sure why the following does not catch the subdirectories?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
Do I have to call out each subdirectory something like...
RewriteRule ^/subdirectory1(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/subdirectory2(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^111\.222\.333\.444
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.php$
RewriteRule $ /maintenance.php [L]
If you have additional htaccess files in your subdirectories, you have to watch for changes after you remove that file. If htacess controls rewrite, you may receive 404 errors when you view those pages.
I was expecting to see the maintenance page, not realizing I needed to have a different ip address according to the following code:
This code allows your ip to view the site and no one else:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#ip is not your ip. Change ip to see maintenance page
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$
#requests made not to maintenance.php ...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
#rewrite to maintenance.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]

redirect into subdirectory AND out of subdirectory

i have a mod_rewrite redirection problem i cannot figure out.
all requests from a specific domain get "silently" rewritten into a designated subdirectory. e.g. www.mydomain.net/hello.html retrieves the file in /net/hello.html. the following .htaccess (placed in my hosting root) achieves this perfectly:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200 # <-- i will need this later. read to the end of the post.
RewriteRule .* - [L]
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.net$
rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/net.*$
rewriteRule (.*) /net/$1 [L]
however, direct URLs into this directory however should visibly redirect with a 301 to the URL without that subdirectory. e.g. www.mydomain.net/net/hello.html should redirect to www.mydomain.net/hello.html (which than still retrieves the file in /net/hello.html). my .htacces file for this (placed in /net) unfortunately doesn't work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]
i get an infinitive redirect loop despite the RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200 block in the root .htaccess file... so what's wrong?
btw, i have to use mod_rewrite, because the site is externaly hosted and i have no access to the apache configs.
many thanks for any pointers.
Inspect the HTTP request line in THE_REQUEST instead:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /net[/? ]
RewriteRule ^net($|/(.*)) /$2 [L,R=301]
