I want to redirect all my pages and video content to my sub domain (where I have my CDN)
currently I have link in a videogame, with people who generate traffic and I have a lot of link already in the game that I cant change since it will take forever, so I want redirect all people that will click on the link to my sub domain, where I have my CDN setup
https://exemple.com/folder/contents/video.mp4 TO https://cdn.exemple.com/folder/contents/video.mp4
I already try few rewrite command with htaccess but I get the error TOO_MANY_REDIRECT and I don't know what to do
This should work for you:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+\.mp4)$ https://cdn.exemple.com/$1 [R,L]
Put this at the top of your /root/.htaccess before other rules and make sure to Clear your browser cache before testing this new redirect.

Ok, so I know this is a question that has been asked many times, however, I have not been able to find an answer to my particular case, so please do not shoot me down.
I have a website: http://gmcomputers.co.za.
I am redirecting this URL, using .htaccess file, to a subfolder to load the content:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule (.*) /gmcomputers/ [L,DPI,R=301]
Which works perefectly, except when I go to http://gmcomputers.co.za I get http://gmcomputers.co.za/gmcomputers/.
So my question is, how do I modify the above code to remove the /gmcomputers/ from being appended?
Please note I copied the code above from a website as I am not at all experienced in redirect, etc and am still learning. Also, the reason I am using .htaccess to redirect is due to there being other websites in the root directory and I therefore cannot edit any config files for Apache.
Thanking you.
You contradict yourself in your question. On the one hand you write that you want to redirect and that this "works perfectly", but then you write that you do not want that result.
My guess is that you actually do not want to redirect at all, but that instead you want to internally rewrite your requests to point to that server side folder. While the URL visible in the browser's URL bar does not show that folder. Is that what you are trying to ask?
If so take a look at this example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gmcomputers
RewriteRule ^ /gmcomputers%{REQUEST_URI} [END]
You might want to add an actual redirection to direct clients actually using the folder name in their requests:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?gmcomputers/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,END]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gmcomputers
RewriteRule ^ /gmcomputers%{REQUEST_URI} [END]
Best is to implement such rules in the central http server's host configuration. If you do not have access to that you can instead use a distributed configuration file (typically called ".htaccess") located in the DOCUMENT_ROOT folder configured for the http host, if you enabled the consideration of such files in your host configuration . Though that comes with a number of disadvantages. Above implementation works likewise for both approaches.
I have a site that is moving to a new URL, an exact copy of the original with the same pages and URL structure. I'm working with the old domain's .htaccess file to redirect to the new one, and have this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^oldsite.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.oldsite.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://newsite.ca/$1 [R=301,L]
The redirect works when I go to oldsite.com or www.oldsite.com works as expected, and redirects to newsite.ca
However, when I go to something like oldsite.com/blog/, no redirect happens. It just stays at the same URL.
I want to be able to redirect every page to the new site, not just the root.
oldsite.com/blog/ should redirect to newsite.ca/blog/
I need this for the whole site without having to go through and redirect every single page individually. Is this possible?
Figured it out-
I moved my code to the top of the .htaccess file.
The code wasn't being executed because there was a www to non-www before it. Apparently the code is run in order, and if a redirect is found, it will not run another kind of redirect following it.
I am trying to internally rewrite URLs of a subdomain:
e.g. sub1.domain.com/something/ silently goes to to main domain domain.com/sub1/something/.
I have been able to get this to work properly as a redirect. However, I do not want them to redirect.
I still want it to show sub1.domain.com/something/ as the URL and simply display the content from domain.com/sub1/something/.
Need some help achieving this. Here's what I have so far:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/sub1/$1 [L]
Note: both domains are pointing to the same server (and i can make them share the same document root folder, if needed)
I have having a real problem here and I am hoping someone can help me out - let me explain:
I have a site - domain.co.uk - for the past 6 months this site has been sat on holding pages so google gets to know the domain.
I also have domain.com and domain.org - these were also set up at the same time.
We have a new website under development using a Drupal multisite install where all of the multisites are sub-domains.
Here is my problem!! The new website is now under development and I need to add various rules to the htaccess to redirect back to the holding pages but these rules are new to me and I dont really have a clue what I am doing!
This is what I need to do:
The primary domain is domain.co.uk.
I need to redirect all users requesting domain.co.uk to domain.co.uk/holding/index.php,
but I need to put an IP address exclusion in for us and the developers for testing the new site so we can see what is going on with the new website.
The website also has .com alias and this needs to go to domain.co.uk for all requests.
So here is what I have so far and it does not work as it should:
// I set this to re-write anything except the subdomains I want to see
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www.domain\.co\.uk)|(subdomain1.domain\.co\.uk)|(subdomain2.domain\.co\.uk)|(subdomain3.domain\.co\.uk)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www\.domain\.co\.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
// then I have put in some rules for checking the ip's and producing a redirect that does not match earlier requests.
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^(xx\.xxx\.xxx\.xx)|(xx\.xx\.xx\.xx)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/holding/index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(jpe?g?|png|gif|css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /holding/index\.php [R=302,L]
The result so far is:
if a general user goes to the domain.co.uk it redirects to the holding page - GOOD
if a user from the 'excluded ip's address list goes to domain.co.uk they also get redirected - BAD - but if they go to .domain.co.uk/index.php the Drupal site loads with the new design.
If a user from the excluded ip's list goes to subdomain1.domain.co.uk they get redirected to the holding pages - BAD- this, I think, should not happen due to the 1st rule but I am totally lost.
Anyone got any ideas how to get this working so that a user with an allowed ip can access the new website and all it's subdomains but any general user is directed to the holding pages.
Many thanks - my head is about to explode!!
${REMOTE_ADDR} is the IP Address, ${REMOTE_HOST} is the hostname if available.
You could also temporarily add ${REMOTE_ADDR} into the redirect to the holding page to check that you are putting the right addresses in, e.g.:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /holding/index\.php?ip=${REMOTE_ADDR} [R=302,L]
I've migrated the content of a site from one domain to another. I have .htaccess Rewrite set up successfully to redirect any request to the old domain to the same location on the new domain, which is working fine, using the following code:
RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^roundeltable.com
rewriteRule ^(.*) http://wheelspin.tv/$1 [R=301,L]
However, I want to go a little further. When somebody simply requests the old TLD (http://roundeltable.com/) I want them to be redirected to a specific page within the new domain (http://wheelspin.tv/rt). If they make a request to any other location from the old domain (for example, http://roundeltable.com/about) I want them to be sent to that exact same place at the new domain (http://wheelspin.tv/about) the way they currently are now.
Is this possible? If so, how?
So I've found the solution to this issue, which ended up being provided by somebody from Media Temple's service department. Here's the entire code required in the .htaccess file to make this work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ http://wheelspin.tv/rt/ [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://wheelspin.tv/$1
Obviously substitute whatever domain you want to redirect to in place of mine, but that's the solution for my example. Thanks for the help!
