I have 2 domains, the old domain is mjvandco.co.uk and he wants this redirecting to mjvlaw.co.uk. I have both pointing to the same webspace but when I test the URLs using https://httpstatus.io/ I get different results.
I have the following in my htaccess along with other stuff, but this is the redirect content:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mjvlaw\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
# Remove .html (excluding blog)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog(.*)$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
The only URL that now is not right is this one: http://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/. I used this site
https://mjvlaw.co.uk - goes to https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk
http://mjvlaw.co.uk - goes to https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk
http://www.mjvlaw.co.uk - not work as does not go to https
https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk - fine
However, when I do the same for the old domain it all works as it should and every one below goes too https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk.
https://www.mjvandco.co.uk
https://mjvandco.co.uk
http://mjvandco.co.uk
http://www.mjvandco.co.uk
Am I doing something stupid here? Should I create another webspace and have one folder for the old domain and what for the current one and each having it's own htaccess file?
Thanks. I have done another ticket a month or so back but I am not sure how to change the questions, so I apologise for the similar ticket.
You rule only redirects non-www http URLs to SSL version of your site. To redirect both non-www and www http versions , replace your first rewrite block with the following
RewriteCond ℅{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mjvlaw\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before you test this.

I have three different domains, and I want to make sure that all domains redirect to the one domain.
I want to make sure all cases are covered: if the user types http or https, if they include www or not.
This create 12 different possibilities...
http://www.domain1.co.uk
https://www.domain1.co.uk
http://domain1.co.uk
https://domain1.co.uk
http://www.domain2.uk
https://www.domain2.uk
http://domain2.uk
https://domain2.uk
http://www.domain3.co.uk
https://www.domain3.co.uk
http://domain3.co.uk
https://domain3.co.uk
And I need all of these to redirect to:
https://www.domain3.co.uk
I have set up my .htaccess file in the way I thought should work with most variations, and I have researched this on Google and SO, and this looked to me to be the best solution:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain3\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.domain3.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
But this covers only 11 of these variations.
With this htaccess file, if I visit the URL:
http://www.domain3.co.uk
It does not redirect.
All other variations redirect as required.
How can I change my htaccess file so that all 12 possible variations are covered?
You can use this single rule with a [OR] clause:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain3\.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.domain3.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
I have two webs on two different domains. One is on domain.com and the other web is on domain.es.
I am shutting down the web on domain.es but first I have to redirect every request to domain.es to domain.com. This is easy and I had already done it with RewriteCond & RewriteRule, like this:
www.domain.es/ -- redirects to --> www.domain.com/
But I am having a problem now. I also need to redirect one specific page from domain.es to domain.com like this:
www.domain.es/a_page/ -- redirects to --> www.domain.com/another_page/
I am having problems when redirecting with both rules, as when apache detects a request to www.domain.es/a_page it goes to www.domain.com/ and not to the specific page I need.
I have this in my virtualhost:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/a_page/
RewriteRule ^(.*)& http://www.domain.com/another_page/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/
RewriteRule ^(.*)& http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
I've got the [L] flag so apache would stop processing rules, but this is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/a_page/
The line above is never going to match anything - you're asking if the host is equal to domain.es/a_page/, which is a host as well as a path. You need to test against only the hostname, and then redirect based on the path, e.g.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.es
RewriteRule ^a_page/ http://www.domain.com/another_page/ [R=301,L]
I want to have one URL still being served from a subdirectory on the old domain but redirect all others from the parent directory to the new domain.
www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb -> no redirect
www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya -> www.newdomain.co.uk/directorya
This works if the URL is typed with a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directorya\/directoryb [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/ [L,R=301]
So http://www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb/ works but http://www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb fails.
Tried added $ at the end and other connotations and tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule !^myspecialdirectory/mynextdirectory($|/) http://newdomain.example%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
from Redirect entire site except one directory to a new site - apache .htaccess
What do I need to do to get http://www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb/ or http://www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb to redirect? (while all other http://www.olddomain.co.uk pages go to http://www.newdomain.co.uk
For reasons I don't understand http://www.olddomain.co.uk/directorya/directoryb goes to Google and doesn't redirect
Try using THE_REQUEST variable and make sure this this very first rule:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !\s+/+directorya/directoryb [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.newdomain.co.uk/? [L,R=301]
Test it after clearing your browser cache.
I'm looking to redirect each and every page on the old domain to a single page on the new domain. It should also redirect both the www and non-www versions. Every single request to the domain old.com, whatever it may be, should lead to www.new.com root.
old.com/1.php
www.old.com/2.php
old.com/2.php
old.com/links/index.php
old.com/about-us.html
old.com/?string=1
should all redirect to:
www.new.com/
I'm looking for a .htaccess solution.
You can use RedirectMatch in the old.com vhost
RedirectMatch permanent .* http://www.new.com/
Redirect appends the trailing portion of the matched URI to the redirection URI but with RedirectMatch it's up to you to choose the parts (if any) that you want to transfer using parentheses and $number references.
If the old and new domains must be aliases for the same document root on disk then you'll probably have to use mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/ [L,R=301]
This has already been answered, but here's the code altogether containing helpful comments so people have a reference to look back on later should they forget what it does.
Put this in your .htaccess file:
## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/? [L,R=301]
You can also redirect to a sub directory on another domain, as was the case that I needed to do like this:
## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/sub-directory/? [L,R=301]
This will handle all your redirects including query strings. Excuse the formatting, I'm on a phone :)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .+
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new.com$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new.com$1 [L,R=301,QSA]
Im trying to request the following entire site 301 redirect:
word.something.blah.domain.com --> http://www.word.com
I don't know how to write the 301 redirect rule.
Can someone help out?
I will assume you are using the same directory to serve files on both domains. In which case, a Redirect clause won't work (infinite redirect loop).
With mod_rewrite, you can check the value of the current HTTP_HOST and take a decision based on that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.something\.blah\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
put this into root directory of the subdomain:
Redirect permanent / http://www.word.com
If you are keeping everything else the same - that is, the file names - but simply changing the domain, this code is all you need to put on the OLD DOMAIN htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.newdomain\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
