I am trying to redirect one complete URL
But this is not working ...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^https://www.moccioso.com/d.php?
id=ultimateselection.zip$
RewriteRule ^$ http://moccioso.com/sd_product/ultimateselection-zip
[L,R=301]
(I'm assuming you've not wrapped the code onto multiple lines in your actual code?)
The HTTP_HOST variable contains the Host HTTP request header. ie. the hostname specified on the request eg. www.example.com only - there is no scheme, URL-path or query string here. So, this RewriteCond directive will never match.
But you are also trying to match an empty URL-path with the RewriteRule pattern ^$ - so again, this will never match. In your example the URL-path is /d.php. The RewriteRule pattern matches against the URL-path only.
You are also redirecting to http (not https) in this directive? Your example uses https. You are also removing the www subdomain, but again, your example includes it?
If you are redirecting from/to the same hostname and only have one domain then you don't need to explicitly include the domain name (ie. the requested hostname) in the rule.
To match against the query string you need to match against the QUERY_STRING server variable.
Try the following instead, near the top of your .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=ultimateselection\.zip$
RewriteRule ^d\.php$ /sd_product/ultimateselection-zip [R=301,L]
This will need to go near the top of your .htaccess file. Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid potential caching issues.
Clear your browser cache before testing.

I need to redirect around 300 URLs on a multidomain site that has the same URL structure on the different domains. For example:
https://www.example.com/de/products.html needs to be redirected to https://www.example.org/de/products.html
So my usual approach does not work:
RedirectMatch 301 /de/products.html$ /de/products.html
I would need something like
RedirectMatch 301 https://www.example.com/de/products.html$ https://www.example.org/de/products.html
which obviously doesn't work or I just didn't get to work.
Not sure if important, but it's a TYPO3 instance.
The mod_alias RedirectMatch directive matches against the URL-path only. To match the hostname you'll need to use mod_rewrite with an additional condition (RewriteCond directive) that checks against the HTTP_HOST server variable (the value of the Host HTTP request header).
Also, since the URL structure is the same on both domains then you only need a single rule - just use the same URL-path from the initial request. No need to do one-by-one redirects as you seem to be trying to do.
For example, the following would need to go at the top of the .htaccess file before any existing rewrites:
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect everything from example.com to example.org and preserve the URL-path
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.org%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This checks for both example.com and www.example.com.
The REQUEST_URI server variable already contains a slash prefix, hence it is omitted in the substitution string.
Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid potential caching issues.
UPDATE:
But I don't want to redirect all URLs, just some.
To redirect a specific URL to the same URL at the target domain, as per your original example:
# Redirect "/de/product.html" only
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^de/products\.html$ https://www.example.org/$0 [R=301,L]
The above redirects https://www.example.com/de/products.html only to https://www.example.org/de/products.html.
The $0 backreference contains the entire URL-path that the RewriteRule pattern matches against.
How to extend your snippet with /de/ or /fr/ etc.? For example I want to redirect example.com/de/products.html but not example.com/products.html
Maybe the above example is what you require. Alternatively, to redirect /de/<something> (or /fr/<something>) only and not just /<something>, you could do something like this:
# Redirect "/<lang>/<something>" only, where <lang> is "de" or "fr"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(de|fr)/[^/]+$ https://www.example.org/$0 [R=301,L]
The above will redirect https://example.com/de/<something> to https://www.example.org/de/<something>.
I am trying to redirect from an url to another url but keeping the queries.
For example, from
/oldurl?query1=yes&query2=yes&... (or any list of queries)
to
/newurl?fixedquery=yes&query1=yes&query2=yes&...
So in pratice it would redirect the old url and its queries to a new url, keeping the old queries, plus a fixed query.
This is what I have been trying to use (unsuccessfully) in the .htaccess:
RedirectMatch 301 /oldurl/?$ newurl/?fixedquery=yes&$1
I also tried before using Rewrite
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^fixedquery=yes$
RewriteRule ^oldurl/?$ newurl/? [R=301,L]
But this simply redirects if for /oldurl (adding fixedquery) and gives a 404 in case I pass a query to oldurl (e.g. /oldurl?var1=1).
Where am I wrong?
You need to use mod_rewrite in order to manipulate the query string. Try the following instead:
RewriteRule ^oldurl/?$ /newurl?fixedquery=yes [QSA,R=301,L]
Your example URL omits the trailing slash on the target URL, so I omitted it here. However, in your directives, you are including it?
The QSA flag appends/merges the original query string from the request. So the resulting URL is /newurl?fixedquery=yes&query1=yes&query2=yes&..., where query1=yes&query2=yes&... were passed on the initial request.
UPDATE: Note that this rule needs to go near the top of the file, before any existing rewrites. The order of directives in the .htaccess file can be important. Test first with 302 (temporary) redirects to avoid potential caching issues. And you will need to ensure the browser cache is cleared before testing.
A look at your attempts...
RedirectMatch 301 /oldurl/?$ newurl/?fixedquery=yes&$1
The RedirectMatch (mod_alias) directive matches against the URL-path only, but you have no capturing subgroup in the regex, so the $1 backreference is always empty.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^fixedquery=yes$
RewriteRule ^oldurl/?$ newurl/? [R=301,L]
This matches a request for /oldurl?fixedquery=yes and redirects to newurl/ - removing the query string entirely. However, this is also reliant on RewriteBase being set, otherwise this will result in a malformed redirect, exposing your directory structure.
I want to redirect to another website, and pass the parameters also.
Example: I go to my website: source.example/?code=12345
Then, I want it to redirect to target.example/?code=12345.
I am currently using this for my .htaccess file, since I figured out from other posts that if I query a certain parameter, it will get passed also:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^code=[NS]$
RewriteRule "www.google.com" /$1 [R=302,L]
Also, I tried many different approaches looking at these stack questions:
simple .htaccess redirect : how to redirect with parameters?
Redirect and keep the parameter in the url on .htaccess
But I can't get it running :(
since I figured out from other posts that if I query a certain parameter, it will get passed also
This is not true. The query string is passed through by default - there is nothing extra you need to do if you want the same query string on the target URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^code=[NS]$
RewriteRule "www.google.com" /$1 [R=302,L]
This code won't match the source URL for many reasons:
"www.google.com" - The first argument to the RewriteRule directive is a regex that matches the source URL-path (less the slash prefix). In your example the URL-path is empty.
^code=[NS]$ matches either code=N or code=S - which is not the intention from your example. (The [NS] looks like a mangled RewriteRule flag?!)
/$1 - this is the substitition string, ie. the URL you want to redirect to. (The $1 backreference is always empty, so this is meaningless.)
To redirect from source.example/?code=<number> to https://target.example/?code=<number> then try the following instead:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^source\.example [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^code=\d+$
RewriteRule ^$ https://target.example/ [R=302,L]
This only matches a query string of the form code=1234. It does not match code= or code=1234&foo=bar, etc.
The query string is passed through by default.
If source.example is the only domain being hosted at the current location then you can remove the first condition that explicitly checks the requested hostname.
The order of directives in the .htaccess file is important. An external redirect like this should go near the top.
I'm trying to redirect a route to a subdomain if it contains a certain string:
For example, if domain contains /foo/bar/:
http://example.com/foo/bar/123/456.jpg should be redirected to the subdomain http://sub.example.com/bar/123/456.jpg.
I mean, I would need to remove only /foo/ from the route and redirect the result to a subdomain.
I don't know how to remove a certain string in the middle of the route keeping following strings.
Try something like the following near the top of the .htaccess file in the root of example.com:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^foo/(bar/\d+/\d+\.jpg)$ http://sub.example.com/$1 [R,L]
If the subdomain points to a completely different area of the filesystem then you can remove the RewriteCond directive that checks the hostname. Or if the /foo/ prefix should always be removed (regardless of which host is requested).
This matches requests of the form /foo/bar/<number>/<number>.jpg.
$1 is a backreference to the captured group in the RewriteRule pattern that specifically omits the foo/ prefix.
This is a temporary (302) redirect.
if domain contains /foo/bar/
That is part of the URL-path, not the domain.
I have a scenario where there is a a site with subdirectories and content etc originally in a subdirectory /main
The site and all content has been moved back to the root and is working fine
We need to rewrite so that any http call to /main/, /main/page1, /main/page2 etc is redirected back to the / directory but the uri /page1, /page2 etc
This is what we have so far
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/main/.*
RewriteRule ^/main/(.*) /$1 [L]
Any comments welcome
Thanks very much
In .htaccess context, the url that is matched in the first parameter of RewriteRule doesn't include a leading slash and doesn't include the query string. Having a leading slash will cause the rule to never match. In your case your RewriteCond is unnecessary, as it matches exactly what the RewriteRule would match. Change your rule to the following url and it should work. Please note that this is an internal rewrite (the client won't see this change). If you need a redirect (the client will display the url without main in the address bar), add the [R] flag to the rule.
RewriteRule ^main/(.*)$ $1 [L]
See the documentation.
