I tried redirecting my traffic so if anyone visits mydomain.com/directory, it will be the same as visiting mydomain.com:8080. Here's my .htaccess so far:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^directory "http\:\/\/mydomain\.com\:8080%{REQUEST_URI}" [P,QSA,L]
However it doesn't seem to work. Most likely I'm missing something important here.
If .htaccess can't do such things, can I achieve that by messing with config located in /etc/apache2/?
Also, is there a way to find said web ui file directory, so I can move it to mydomain.com/directory physically?
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^directory(?:\/|$) http://example.com:8080%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
One issue that might be causing this is that you are escaping a non-regex string, "http\:\/\/mydomain\.com\:8080%{REQUEST_URI}".
I have added (?:\/|$) after ^directory because the original will also pass directoryxyz to the backend server.

I have this url http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course, i added this rule to the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(.*)/(.*)$ course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
but when i go to http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course nothing happens, i stay on the same page, there is no redirect.
p.s the link is just an example not the actual link
A more efficient method would be to use the following:
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(\d+)/([^/]+)/?$ /course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
Now, keep in mind that this rule should come before any rules that may rewrite the request to, say, an index.php file. This would be naturally true if the code you posted in your question was all of your code. If not, please post your entire .htaccess file so we can be sure it is being placed in the right location.
Be sure the mod_rewrite is turned on, and the you have set AllowOverride All in your virtual host/Apache site configuration. If you're running on a shared production server, this would not apply to you.
Side note: Whilst it does work, you need not use RewriteEngine on twice - only once at the beginning of your file will suffice. You also do not need RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get - it is essentially redundant as you are already using an expression to test against the request.
Does anyone know a way to do a permanent redirect from a.example.com to b.example.com? I have other subdomains that need to remain as they are though. so:
first.example.com -> second.example.com
third.example.com is fine
fourth.example.com is fine
I want to do this in the <VirtualHost> block rather than an .htaccess to avoid having to redeploy again.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks
Add the following RewriteRule to your VirtualHost
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^first.example.com$
RewriteRule ^ http://second.example.com [R=301,L]
If you wanted to redirect first.example.com/some/url to second.example.com/some/url:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^first.example.com$
RewriteRule /(.*) http://second.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Recommend you use [R=302] whilst testing the rules to avoid problems with 301s getting cached by your browser.
Recently I have encounter a strange issue , my website www.xyz.com is being pointed by some one on the web domain let suppose www.abc.com.
Though the whole website is on www.xyz.com but the other domain display every single content and directory path structure by their domain...e.g. the real path is www.xyz.com/somepage/id/etc can be work by www.abc.com/somepage/id/etc with same directory paths....
This other website is just redirecting everything to my website and I want to stop this domain to use my directory structure. This www.abc.com is also being crawled by Google crawler and added its link in Google search engine.
This is a very new issue to me I have one solution to restrict every single request and check if its from my own website or not.
Second solution is to restrict them through htaccess but I don't find perfect solution using htaccess.
I saw on the web it stop all the referrer, but doing that I am afraid if it will stop users coming from other website to my website ...I just need to restrict other domains to use my whole website as theirs using redirection...i have taken this issue on go daddy and they said they also don't know why the other website is pointing to my ip address ... so clueless I need expert advice to secure my website from future issues like this ...kindly advice...
My htaccess is
Options +FollowSymLinks
IndexIgnore */*
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
and i am using YII...
You can place this rule just below RewriteEngine On line:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} abc\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} abc\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !xyz\.(com|net)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
In your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.xyz\.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^subdomain\.xyz\.com$
RewriteRule .* - [F]
We are trying to redirect everything from one domain to another with the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
When we visit http://www.example.com/v2sc
We are being redirected to http://www.example2.comv2sc
We would like to be redirected to http://www.example2.com/v2sc considering www.example2.comv2sc is not a valid hostname
Any ideas on how we can accomplish this?
Thank you!
It seems like you're using a .htaccess file for this. In that context the leading slash is not present in %{REQUEST_URI} so it's up to you to put it back in.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example2.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
Please also note that solutions like this should be used only if you cannot edit the main server configuration file. Doing so would allow you to use a cleaner combination of vhosts and Redirect directives that would run much more quickly.
I want to direct all requests for any URL that ends with index.html to /. I have one domain on the server.
Example:
If someone wants "www.thissite.com/index.html--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
AND
if someone wants "www.thissite.com/anyword/index.html"--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
AND
if someone wants "www.thissite.com/folderdoesntexistonthissite/index.html"--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
What is the .htaccess code that would enable this? (Both the rewritecondition and rewriterule)
This doesn't quite do the job:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.html [NC]
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.thissite.com/$1 [R=301.L]
You could try this (without RewriteCond):
RewriteRule /index\.html$ http://www.thissite.com/ [R=301,NC,L]
Maybe the Error was the Period in [R=301.L].
You will need to use %{REQUEST_URI} variable to match in RewriteCond otherwise Apache strips out starting / in RewriteRule. Use below code in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/index.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule . / [R=301,L]
