I'm trying to redirect requests for our old blog to a new url on a subdomain.
The old url looks like
https://www.website.com/blog-name/post/slug-of-the-title
and it needs to redirect to
https://stage.website.com/blog-name/slug-of-the-title
I'm using this rule in my .htaccess
RedirectMatch ^/blog-name/post/(.*)$ https://stage.website.com/blog-name/$1
And I'm getting redirected to the correct page, but my urls have extra segments on the end. Like
https://stage.website.com/blog-name/slug-of-the-title/?/blog-name/post/slug-of-the-title
What am I doing wrong?
With your shown samples, could you please try following. Please clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Make sure you keep these rules at the top of your .htaccess rules file(in case you have any more rules also in your .htaccess file).
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?website\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^blog-name/post/(.*)/?$ https://stage.website.com/blog-name/$1? [NC,R=301,L]

I have got url:
ipaddress/panelname/main/index.php
How to rebuild it to
ipaddress/center/index.php
?
ofcourse we can see another pages, not only index.php, but this folders in url we can see forever.
I tryed to do this in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^center/([^/]+)/?$ panelname/main/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1 [QSA,L,R=301,NC]
Redirect 301 ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1
but i don't see redirect from panelname to center.
but if i type center all works good (but i don't shure, that it works good by my htaccess or by symlink, which i was created in filesystem)
How to rewrite all to another links and howto see redirect from old links to my new? Thank you.
RewriteRule in directory context (which .htaccess is), does never begin with a slash, because the common prefix is stripped from the matched portion first.
Redirect does match strings, not regex'es. The variant that works on a regex is RedirectMatch. Both only work on absolute URL's (the one beginning with a slash).
You either have to do the following:
RewriteRule ^panelname(.*)$ /center$1 [R,L]
or:
RedirectMatch 302 ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1
Change [R] to [R=301] once you have tested that EVERYTHING works. If you choose the second option, only change 302 to 301 after testing that everything works.
If you want to show /center/index.php to your visitors and keep a redirect from old URL to this URL then you will need one redirect and one rewrite rule (that you already have).
RewriteEngine on
# external redirect from old URL to new one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /panelname/main/(\S+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /center/%1 [R=302,L]
# internal forward from new URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^center/([^/]+)/?$ panelname/main/$1 [L]
I'm using goo.gl to shorten urls. I want to redirect to a goo.gl/xXxX if any characters trail the root domain request otherwise redirect to root domain. nyti.ms does this exactly the way I'm trying to. What does their .htaccess file look like?
nyti.ms/xXxX goes to nytimes.com/2014/02/26/opinion/some-article
nyti.ms/ goes to nytimes.com
I have 50% working...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://goo.gl/$1 [L,R=301]
I'm looking for htaccess lines that do the following
Redirect old existing urls to new url (301)
Example
www.example.com/categorya/categoryb/product.htm
TO
www.example.com/product.htm
There can be more category parts, or less, it all has to go to /product.htm (Magento).
Who can help?
Try putting these rules in the htaccess file in your document root, preferably above any rules that you may already have there:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.+)/product.htm$ /product.htm [L,R=301]
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/[^/]+/([^.]+)\.htm$ /$1.htm [L,R=301]
my .htaccess in the root folder includes the following lines :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ http://example.com/?city=$1 [NC]
when I open the address http://example.com/bla.htm, my browser doesn't hide the GET values specified in the .htaccess, it redirects me to ?city=bla. eventhough I'm not using the [R] switch. This has always worked for me before (as I remember, haven't dealt with htaccess in a while). What's wrong here ?
When you redirect to an entire URL, it doesn't do URL rewriting (you can't exactly rewrite URLs on someone else's website).
Assuming both URLs are on the same server, you need to do something like
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ index.php?city=$1 [NC]
Also, I'd recommend getting into the habit of using the [L] switch whenever you can - it helps avoid bugs when you have a lot of URLs to rewrite.
I have this old survey link that is has been superseded by another link, so basically I want anyone trying to access the URL:
http://mywebsite.com/survey/view_survey.php?surveyID=1
To be redirected to:
http://mywebsite.com/survey/view_survey.php?surveyID=2
Can I do this in the Apache configuration or htaccess file?
I tried the following rule in the Redirect section of my httpd.conf file:
Redirect 301 /survey/view_survey.php?surveyID=1 http://mywebsite.com/survey/view_survey.php?surveyID=2
But it doesn't work. I am suspecting that the GET parameters are not used when processing the rule.
Is my only option to hack my code to redirect on a specific surveyID?
Following the suggestion of using the Rewrite rules, I tried the following in my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^survey/view_survey\.php\?surveyID=1525$ /survey/view_survey.php?sur
veyID=1607
But that doesn't work. I do have the rewrite engine up and running, because I have another rewrite rule currently running.
Try this in a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|.*&)surveyID=1525(&.*|$)
RewriteRule ^survey/view_survey\.php$ /survey/view_survey.php?%1surveyID=1607%2 [L,R=301]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^surveyID=1525$
RewriteRule ^/survey/view_survey\.php /survey/view_survey.php?surveyID=1607 [R=301]
Check out the QSA portion of the mod_rewrite.
It does GET string manipulation.
There might be a possible duplicate of this question and it is solved if this solution doesnt work for you:
Apache Redirect 301 fails when using GET parameters, such as ?blah=
