could you help me get this working please.
I am trying to redirect
/search.php?id=5GHU&distance=50&sort=title
or
/search.php?id=5GHU
or
/search.php?id=5GHU&distance=50
to
/search/?query_string_values
i.e. whether it's one query string parameter or many they all should go there
This is what I tried.
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)id=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^search\.php$ /search/%1? [L,R=permanent]
Thanks
Sorry for my confusion about your question, I got it now. So...
Modify your .htaccess like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^/search.php$" "/search/" [L,R=301,QSA]
In short it will take the query string (what follows /search.php that starts with ?) and append it to "/search/". That is done by the QSA flag to RewriteRule. No matter how many parameters you have, it will append it all.
See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html#flag_qsa
So
/search.php?a=1&b=2 --> /search/?a=1&b=2
/search.php?c=3 --> /search/?c=3
Since /search/?a=1&b=2 does not specify a page to use, it will use the default page defined by DirectoryIndex in your configuration. I prefer to explicitly specify the page, but it works without.

i have a problem with a htaccess files and i cannot figure it what is the problem.
The site has url rewriting for seo purposes in place so:
www.website.com/page/seo-friendly-url
is rewritten to
www.website.com/page.php?seo=seo-friendly-url
this is done with the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Rewriterule ^page/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ page.php?seo=$1 [NC,L]
Now the problem is that i have to redirect some pages that are already indexed by the search engines to their new destination as they are no more available, for example:
www.website.com/page/seo-friendly-url
has to be redirected to
www.website.com/page/another-seo-friendly-url
I have tried something like this but it is not working
Rewriterule ^page/seo-friendly-url$ page/another-seo-friendly-url [R,NC,L]
also this one is not working
Rewriterule ^page/seo-friendly-url$ page.php?seo=another-seo-friendly-url [R,NC,L]
This seems pretty stupid but i can't find the problem :-/
Thank you for your help

Edit, for anubhava:
Hi,
no i have already set the rewriting for that.
What i'm trying to achieve is redirect an already rewrited link.
Let me explain myself better:
At the moment i have this url that is indexed by Google (or any other search engine) in the form of a beautified url (seo friendly). The url has this form:
www.website.com/page/seo-friendly-url
I have already set a rule in the htaccess so the previous link is rewritten and goes to a php page with a query string that is used to display some content.
The page and the query are in this form:
www.website.com/page.php?seo=seo-friendly-url
So basically i'm using the last part of the first url as a query parameter for the second url.
This is achieved (and works) through the following code here below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Rewriterule ^page/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ page.php?seo=$1 [NC,L]
So far so good.
Now what i need to achieve is to redirect this url, that has been deleted:
www.website.com/page/seo-friendly-url
to go to a new page
www.website.com/page/another-seo-friendly-url
Of course the same rules applies to this new url (www.website.com/page/another-seo-friendly-url -->is already rewrited to--> www.website.com/page.php?seo=another-seo-friendly-url)
What do i need to do to do the reewriting right?
Thanks
You need this extra rule before your existing rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+page\.php\?seo=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /page/%1? [R=301,L]
Rewriterule ^page/([\w-]+)$ page.php?seo=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
Just add redirects like this:
RewriteRule page/seo-friendly-url /page/new-url [R=301,L]
Important: this rules have to be above your existing rewrites because of the L flag in your rewrites
The [L] flag causes mod_rewrite to stop processing the rule set. In most contexts, this means that if the rule matches, no further rules will be processed.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/flags.html#flag_l
Edit
You want to redirect the old URL to avoid duplicate content (rewrite=internal, redirect=HTTP 301)
Maybe you are open for solutions thinking in another direction.
I would try to handle this in the application, no through rewrites. Right now the GET parameter seo is handled in page.php. Isn't it an idea to extend this in that way one product can be identified through multiple seo aliases? If one product has to be taken off a similar one will then own this alias (simply a change of one row in the database).
As I don't know what software you are using this may be not possible.
Sorry to be the asker of yet another tedious mod_rewrite question but after having made no progress in the last few hours, I thought it was time to ask ;)
I am trying to redirect URLs like these:
/some/thing?a=1 --> http://something-else.com/blah
/some/thing?a=1&b=whatever --> http://something-else.com/blah2
No need to keep the param values - the new URL will be hard-coded for each one I have to be redirected.
Have tried a few different things from other posts but with no joy so I am back to square one so any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks! :)
You can use the following rule-set:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^a=1$
RewriteRule /some/thing http://something-else.com/blah [L]
This is indeed quite a common question, and people tend to overlook the QUERY_STRING variable. Have you tried it before?
This is what I used in the end:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(a=1&b=whatever)$
RewriteRule /some/thing http://something-else.com/blah2 [L,R=301]
I was adding the rules at the bottom rather than directly below the "RewriteEngine On" which was preventing it from working.
This solution does still append the params to http://something-else.com/blah2 which isn't exactly what I wanted but it will do.
I feel like I'm really close, but I can't quite get this Apache RewriteRule to work correctly.
I have a URL like http://mysite.com/product.php?view=true&ID=123 and I would like to redirect to http://mysite.com/some-page.But if the product ID=456, then I'd like to redirect it to http://mysite.com/some-other-page.
So I don't need to keep the query string for my destination URLs, but I do care what it equals in the request because that will determine where I redirect the user to. I've been struggling with trying to understand how to use the mod_rewrite %{QUERY_STRING} parameter, but I just can't get it to work.
Thanks in advance for your help!
This should help a little bit.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STIRNG} id=456
RewriteRule .* /some-other-page? [R,L]
More about Manipulating the Query String.
Like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =view=true&ID=123
RewriteRule ^product\.php$ /some-page? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =view=true&ID=456
RewriteRule ^product\.php$ /some-other-page? [R=301,L]
You need to match ^product.php as well as query string. I did match FULL EXACT query string (both view=true and ID=123 need to be present in EXACT order). If you need only partial match (e.g. ID=123 only), then replace =view=true&ID=123 by ID=123.
Notice ? at the end of new URL -- this is to get rid of existing query string. Without it /product.php?view=true&ID=123 will be redirected as /some-page?view=true&ID=123.
I've used 301 Permanent Redirect. You may want to change it to 302 or whatever other redirect code you think is better for you.
This is to be placed in .htaccess in in website root folder. If placed elsewhere some small tweaking may be required.
How can I change url in this way using htaccess:
http://example.com/page.php?go=something.php
should be redirected to:
http://example.com/something
If the get parameter name is different than 'go' leave as it is...
This should do:
# Assuming that "RewriteEngine On" has already been called
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)?go=([a-z]+)\.php(&.*)?$
RewriteRule page.php %2?
What happens here? First, RewriteCond matches a query string that contains the go=something.php, where "something" is captured by ([a-z]+). Then the RewriteRule uses the second capture group's contents from RewriteCond, containing "something.php". The question mark at the end gets rid of the original query string.
Note: if you want to preserve the rest of the query string excluding go=... parameter, things get a bit more complicated.
See the docs in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html for more info.
something like this (google around for the correct syntax)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^page.php?go=login.php /login [L]
I would like to know how can I rewrite www.site.com?lang=lv&type=1&mode=2 into www.site.com/lv/1/2 using Apache mod_rewrite options.
Assuming that you actually want to rewrite /lv/1/2 to ?lang=lv&type=1&mode=2 (I see no reason to do the opposite) and that no other rewrites are active, this should do the trick:
RewriteRule ^/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ ?lang=$1&type=$2&mode=$3 [L]
Also; you'd be better off replacing those magic numbers with more useful information if you want to include them in your URI.
Edit: If it really is the opposite you'd like to do, see the answer by Matt S.
Basic rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule http://www.site.com/?lang=(.+?)&type=(\d+?)&mode=(\d+?) http://www.site.com/$1/$2/$3 [L,R=permanent]
Edit: Changed rewrite flags to force a permanent redirect
You need to handle the URI path and query separately. If the parameters appear in that very same order, you can do this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^lang=([^&]+)&type=([^&]+)&mode=([^&]+)$
RewriteRule ^$ /%1/%2/%3? [L,R=301]
Otherwise you will need to put them in the right order before using this rule or take each parameter at a time.
