I am asking because I can not for the live of me figure out what is wrong and so far none of the StackOverflow answers worked.
I have to redirect a domain to another subdomain, except the admin. For example:
sub1.domain.com/testsite/ shoud redirect to "sub2.domain.com/testsite/",
but sub1.domain.com/admin/ or "sub1.domain.com/de/admin/" should stay right where it is.
As a first step I tried to only check for the "admin", so everything would be redirected except "sub1.domain.com/admin/":
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/admin
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http\:\/\/sub2\.domain\.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This one looked most promising, but it is not working. The second condition is not working and the admin page still gets redirected.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
EDIT:
I should have said that its a multi-domain site, which means we have a .htaccess file for all sites and that is the reason I specifically check for the domain.
I'm just posting this, but I can't test it!
But I guess this redirects EVERYTHING except that one domain.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^sub1.domain.com/admin/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$http\:\/\/sub2\.domain\.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NC]
I hope it works!
So,
I just found the reason (besides my stupidity). The site I should redirect was a Drupal Site. Thats why all links end up at the same location:
sub1.domain.com/index.php
The reason why my above Rewrite Condition was not working is, that sub1.domain.com/admin is being redirected to sub1.domain.com/index.php, which consequently ends up at: "sub2.domain.com/index.php". The correct rewrite rule looks like that:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(admin|index\.php|de\/admin|it\/admin|user|de\/user|it\/user)
RewriteRule (.*) http://sub2.domain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This redirects everything except:
sub1.domain.com/admin
sub1.domain.com/de/admin
sub1.domain.com/it/admin
sub1.domain.com/user
sub1.domain.com/de/user
sub1.domain.com/it/user
and of course
sub1.domain.com/index.php
Since the last one also should not be redirected if the user types it in directly, it is not a perfect solution, but I can live with it.
RewriteCond is use to check condition weather to execute .htacess or not
For your case the solution may be as below:-
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(admin)$ http://sub1.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub2.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This website has a ton of extra domains (note: these are not subdomains; one of them, for instance, is http://eduard.fi) that the owner (or the SEO people, rather) wants to redirect to the main domain. Instead of listing them one by one, this is what I tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://masetti.fi/$1 [R=301,L]
However this creates a redirect loop. Why is that? This does not produce a server error, so for that part the syntax is correct, but it does not do what I want.
You were close, but made a logical mistake. Take a look at this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://masetti.fi/$1 [R=301]
An alternative would be that:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^ https://masetti.fi%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
The RewriteCond has been slightly altered: It is the variable %{HTTP_HOST} you want to check, not %{HTTPS_HOST}which does not exist.
PS: it is a good idea to start out with a 302 redirection and only change that to a 301 once everything works as intended. That prevents issues with client side caching.
I've seen several answers to this, but none of them seem to work on subdirectories or nested URLs.
Basically, I want to redirect everything on a domain, no matter whether specified with a direct URL or a directory, no matter how deeply nested, to a "site closed" or "maintenance" page, on the same domain.
For example, all of these:
example.com
example.com/page.html
example.com/sub
example.com/sub/page.html
example.com/sub/sub2
example.com/sub/sub2/page.html
...should redirect to https://example.com/index_closed.html
I can get it to work on example.com, but not nested directories.
Also, it should NOT redirect .css files, if possible. Thanks!
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ https://example.com/index_closed.html [R=301,L]
I found that the following works:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index_closed.html$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.css$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteRule $ /index_closed.html [R=302,L]
I really hope you can help me out (it is driving me crazy).
I've tried dozens of setups and nothing seems to work, Googled myself dizzy and tried numerous different setups, but it all seems to result in a loop or a server error.
This is what needs to happen:
I have a site with multiple domains attached to it. What I need is that when someone visits the website via the "domain.co.uk"-domain, a redirect to the correct language parameters (among others) takes place.
To be very specific: when visiting via "www.domain.co.uk" the visitor must be redirected to "www.domain.co.uk?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3"
I've made sure that the www is present with this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
The trouble is (I think) the redirect within the same domain without causing a loop.
I've tried stuff like this, but with no result:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
Hope you can help,
Cheers!
This will cause a loop:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
Because you're only checking the host header. Every time the redirect fires it will arrive back at the server with a host header of www.domain.co.uk and redirect again. You need to also check the query string and only redirect if it doesn't already match what you sent:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewrteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
I want to realize something like this:
When someone opens a browser and access http://www.example/controller.php directly, then the request will be redirected to the error page. However, if a user clicks a link with http://www.example/controller.php on my website, the request will be redirected to http://www.example/controller
To do so, I write the following rewriterule in .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/controller\.php
RewriteCond %[HTTP_REFERER] ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/controller/error [R,L]
But unfortunately RewriteCond %[HTTP_REFERER] ^$ is not matched. My all other rewriterules are working fine. To discard the side effect of other rewriterules, I delete all the other rules but it still doesn't work.
So I guess maybe %[HTTP_REFERER] is not empty when a url is directly accessed from the browser. Then I write the following rule right before the rewriterule above:
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.google.com/?referer=%{HTTP_REFERER} [R=301,L,QSA]
And this redirects to https://www.google.com/?referer=
So %[HTTP_REFERER] is well and truly empty.
I completely have no idea now, and any advice is greatly appreciated.
We are trying to redirect everything from one domain to another with the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
When we visit http://www.example.com/v2sc
We are being redirected to http://www.example2.comv2sc
We would like to be redirected to http://www.example2.com/v2sc considering www.example2.comv2sc is not a valid hostname
Any ideas on how we can accomplish this?
Thank you!
It seems like you're using a .htaccess file for this. In that context the leading slash is not present in %{REQUEST_URI} so it's up to you to put it back in.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example2.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
Please also note that solutions like this should be used only if you cannot edit the main server configuration file. Doing so would allow you to use a cleaner combination of vhosts and Redirect directives that would run much more quickly.
