I have a domain foo.tech.
I want to use a new domain footech.io instead.
The redirect also has to make sure all the URLs work.
E.g foo.tech/bar goes to footech.io/bar
Here is my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo.tech [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://footech.io/$1 [R=301,L]
For some reason, it decides to add /html at the end of my domain.
So now if I visit foo.tech it will redirect to footech.io/html
If I visit foo.tech/bar it will redirect to footech.io/html/bar
Please help.
Update:
I think the /html comes from the $1
I've tried to make the rewrite rule as follows:
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://footech.io/$1/$1 [R=301,L]
going to foo.tech leads to footech.io/html//html/
going to foo.tech/bar leads to footech.io/html/bar/html/bar
final update:
I made it work now using this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo.tech [NC]
RewriteRule ^html/(.*) http://footech.io/$1 [R=301,L]
This seems to fix it
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^foo.tech [NC]
RewriteRule ^html/(.*) http://footech.io/$1 [R=301,L]
What I think should be simple is just not working.
I have switched domains
Old URL example:
digital.photorecommendations.com/recs/2015/01/big-zoom-field-review/
New URL example:
photorec.tv/2015/01/big-zoom-field-review/
Really just switching domain and dropping the recs folder from the URL
Using http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/ to test and the outputs the correct URL
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /recs
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.digital.photorecommendations\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^recs(.*) http://photorec.tv/$1 [L,R=301]
When I place this in the htaccess file I get 404 errors on all the pages except the home page. The htaccess file is inside the /recs folder. I have also tried it in the root directory of digital.photorecommendations.com and I get no results at all.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
You have wrongly used negation in RewriteCond and regex also needs a fix. Use this rule in /recs/.htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?digital\.photorecommendations\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://photorec.tv/ [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?digital\.photorecommendations\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://photorec.tv/recs/$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]
Is it possible to use .htaccess to rewrite a sub domain to a directory?
Example:
http://sub.domain.example/
shows the content of
http://domain.example/subdomains/sub/
Try putting this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdomains/sub/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
For a more general rule (that works with any subdomain, not just sub) replace the last two lines with this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdomains/%1/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I'm not a mod_rewrite expert and often struggle with it, but I have done this on one of my sites. It might need other flags, etc., depending on your circumstances. I'm using this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdomains/subdomain
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdomains/subdomain/$1 [L]
Any other rewrite rules for the rest of the site must go afterwards to prevent them from interfering with your subdomain rewrites.
You can use the following rule in .htaccess to rewrite a subdomain to a subfolder:
RewriteEngine On
# If the host is "sub.domain.example"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example$ [NC]
# Then rewrite any request to /folder
RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]
Line-by-line explanation:
RewriteEngine on
The line above tells the server to turn on the engine for rewriting URLs.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example$ [NC]
This line is a condition for the RewriteRule where we match against the HTTP host using a regex pattern. The condition says that if the host is sub.domain.example then execute the rule.
RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]
The rule matches http://sub.domain.example/foo and internally redirects it to http://sub.domain.example/folder/foo.
Replace sub.domain.example with your subdomain and folder with name of the folder you want to point your subdomain to.
I had the same problem, and found a detailed explanation in http://www.webmasterworld.com/apache/3163397.htm
My solution (the subdomains contents should be in a folder called sd_subdomain:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain\.domain\.example
RewriteCond $1 !^sd_
RewriteRule (.*) /sd_subdomain/$1 [L]
This redirects to the same folder to a subdomain:
.httaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.example$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain\.example/subdomains/%1
Try to putting this .htaccess file in the subdomain folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ ./subdomains/sub/$1
It redirects to http://example.org/subdomains/sub/, when you only want it to show http://sub.example.org/.
Redirect subdomain directory:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(archive\.example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%2/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
For any sub domain request, use this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.band\.s\.example
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.band\.s\.example
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
Just make some folder same as sub domain name you need.
Folder must be exist like this: domain.example/sub for sub.domain.example.
Edit file .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I'm trying to redirect all non www. urls leading to my site to www. urls - however, there's one subfolder on my site I don't want changed. The code I've been working with is:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
Is there a way to tell this piece of code to ignore domain.com/specialsubfolder?
Thanks a lot, tried searching for this, but couldn't quite find what I'm looking for.
The common way (easy to read and understand) is to add one more condition to ignore this rule if URL starts with /specialsubfolder :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/specialsubfolder
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
Alternatively, add such condition into matching pattern (more difficult to read but a tiny bit faster):
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(?!specialsubfolder).* http://www.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
P.S. You can add [NC] flags if case-insensitivity is required.
This is from a .htaccess located under /~new/
# invoke rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
# force domain.com to www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$0 [R=301,L,NC]
When accessing http://domain.com/~new/hello, it is being rewritten to http://www.domain.com/hello
The www. is being added in like it should, but for some reason it is ignoring the /~new/ subdirectory.
Does anyone know what may be causing this? FYI, there is a .htaccess in the TLD but it is empty. I know I could tack on /~new/ to the regex replacement string, but I'd prefer a generic solution (for portability) and I am not sure why it's stripping it out in the first place. I have also tried playing around with RewriteBase but could not get it to work.
Thanks
I think normally the {REQUEST_URI} would be in your rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www..*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]*).(com|com/)
RewriteRule ^.*$ www.%1.%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
