I´m trying to redirect with rewrite rules in Apache .htaccess.
I want to redirect 360invest.pl to 360investment.pl.
But I want one more address on the server which I do NOT want to be redirected. If somebody tries 360invest.pl/bezrzecze it should not redirect to 360investment.pl.
I used this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^360invest.pl/bezrzecze$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^360invest.pl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.360investment.pl%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This works only if you try www.360invest.pl/bezrzecze. It doesn't work if you try http://360invest.pl/bezrzecze.
In addition if you click any link on the website (www.360invest.pl/bezrzecze) it will redirect you to www.360investment.pl - it should not.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Thank you for your help.
What you are doing is really messy. The first condition does not make sense, because "360invest.pl/bezrzecze" is not a domain name. It is a domain name and a path. The following conditions with [OR] flags make no sense to me.
Think about what you want to accomplish. Start with the general case, then list your exceptions:
If someone goes to 360invest.pl you want to redirect all urls to 360investment.pl
unless someone goes to the path bezrzecze
The first part is the rule. The second part is a condition that has to be met
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/bezrzecze
RewriteRule ^ http://www.360investment.pl%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]

I'm sort of a novice at using mod_rewrite in .htaccess, please forgive me. I've searched far and wide for an answer but perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, or perhaps .htaccess isn't even the right place to do this kind of thing.
Let's say I own two domains: joebloggs.com and bloggs.com.
When you put joebloggs.com into your browser I'd like it to redirect to https://www.bloggs.com/joe.
However, if you go to joebloggs.com/foobar, I'd like to redirect to https://www.bloggs.com/foo/bar.
note: I know this seems counterproductive, going from a shorter URL to a longer one, but the problem is that marketing materials were already disseminated with the URL joebloggs.com/foobar... :-/
The way I've tried to structure this in the .htaccess file hasn't worked thus far.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
#
# redirect joebloggs.com/foobar to https://www.bloggs.com/foo/bar
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^joebloggs\.com\/foobar [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.joebloggs\.com\/foobar [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https\:\/\/www\.bloggs\.com\/foo\/bar [L,R=301,NC]
#
# redirect joebloggs.com to https://www.bloggs.com/joe
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^joebloggs\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.joebloggs\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https\:\/\/www\.bloggs.com\/joe [L,R=301,NC]
</IfModule>
When I put joebloggs.com into a browser, it redirects correctly to https://www.bloggs.com/joe - but when I try to go to joebloggs.com/foobar, the URL remains intact and thus goes to a 404 page (because it doesn't exist).
What am I doing wrong? Am I not doing this the optimal way, or not using .htaccess/mod_rewrite as it was intended?
Sorry for being long-winded, I hope I gave enough information. Thanks for any help and time spent on this!
The first set of rules is entirely useless. Update the second set to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?joebloggs\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ https://www.bloggs.com/foo [R=301,L,NC,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?joebloggs\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^foo(.*)$ https://www.bloggs.com/foo/$1 [R=301,L,NC,QSA]
Due to marketing reasons, I'm using some vanity URL's for friendlier access, and to track some campaigns. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on a managed dedicated server, with cPanel, and these were the steps I took to write my rules:
First, I added xyz.com and efg.com to parked domains in my cPanel
Then I wrote all the RewriteRules that I needed
.htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xyz\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.xyz\.com$
RewriteRule ^signdirections$ "http\:\/\/xyz\.abc\.com\/en?utm_source=signdirections&utm_medium=advert&utm_campaign=xyz" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^efg\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.efg\.com$
RewriteRule ^signdirections$ "http\:\/\/efg\.abc\.com\/en?utm_source=signdirections&utm_medium=advert&utm_campaign=efg" [R=301,L]
Now, the problem is that if I try to access www.efg.com/signdirections, I will get redirected to the www.xyz.com/signredirections version, instead of efg's one.
Any idea, why that is happening? My intuition, is that it detects the same hostname (HTTP_HOST), but I can't understand why.
Most likely it is happening due to your other rules. Better to use THE_REQUEST variable that doesn't change after application of other rules.
You can also combine both your rules into one:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(xyz|efg)\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /signdirections [NC]
RewriteRule . http://%1.abc.com/en?utm_source=signdirections&utm_medium=advert&utm_campaign=%1 [R=301,L,NE,QSA]
Make sure this is your first rule below RewriteEngine On line.
Make sure to test it in a new browser to avoid old browser cache.
I don't know, if that can be a cache error after a bad test:
How long do browsers cache HTTP 301s?
Just a simplified version:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?xyz\.com$
RewriteRule ^signdirections$ http://xyz.abc.com/en?utm_source=signdirections&utm_medium=advert&utm_campaign=xyz [R=302,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?efg\.com$
RewriteRule ^signdirections$ http://efg.abc.com/en?utm_source=signdirections&utm_medium=advert&utm_campaign=efg [R=302,L]
Try with R=302, and when everything works, change for R=301
I'm trying to redirect to a "mobile" version of the site, done by the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "ipad|iphone|ipod" [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*mobile.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /?m=t [L,R=302,co=mobile:true:.domain.com]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "ipad|iphone|ipod" [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*mobile=true.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(^|&)m=t(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /?m=t [L,R=302,co=mobile:true:.domain.com,QSA]
Now this works for the root.
But since the site depends heavily on rewrites, if I modify
RewriteRule ^$ /?m=t [L,R=302,co=mobile:true:.domain.com,QSA]
to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1?m=t [L,R=302,co=mobile:true:.domain.com,QSA]
It'll give me the correct redirect, but without any previous rewrites.
so if I have say a rewrite previously that was
RewriteRule ^product/shimano$ /index.php?product_cat=shimano [L]
The modified line will give me /index.php?m=t&product_cat=shimano instead of /product/shimano?m=t
What am I missing? I've been trying to figure this out for a while now.
Try redirecting first, then rewriting. That is, put these mobile check rules in front of the rewrites.
That way, if it's mobile, and m=t isn't there, it will do the 302 redirect with m=t added. That will then come through again, skip these rules (since m=t is there), and continue on wiht the normal rewrites.
I'm not entirely sure about the first set of rules above. They might also need that line from the second set, that does the querystring check for m=t, to avoid an infinite loop. Basically, if it already has m=t, then it doesn't do it again.
I have the following redirect in my store:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
However, I want to ignore the redirection for
www.mydomain.net/admin
because its my backend to manage my store and now I cant access my admin because of the URL redirection I set.
Any idea how to do this?
Should be easy enough to just reverse your line to a negation statement so that it applies to everything that does not match the paths you don't want to rewrite:
RewriteRule !^(admin/.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
or more preferably just add another rewrite conditional to exclude the admin directory:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]
They both should work but the second one looks nicer.
I'm no .htaccess expert, but I've tried a few different things to redirect a domain to no avail.
I've got a UK and US domain...some US pages have uk extension, and need to be pointed to the proper UK domain:
www.domain.com/uk needs to be rewritten to www.domain.co.uk/uk
Ex. If someone types in www.domain.com/uk/about it will be rewritten as www.domain.co.uk/uk/about
Edit: Paths with /uk should be rewritten
So www.domain.com/uk and www.domain.co.uk should be rewritten to www.domain.co.uk/uk/
You can try something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
The important point is to use a RewriteCondition that works on the HTTP Host header. Simply speaking, if a RewriteCond is placed before a normal RewriteRule then the rule is only used if the the condition matches.
The code excerpt above redirects all requests from the .COM to the .CO.UK domain, so if you only need to redirect certain directory, then you need to adjust the rule accordingly, e.g.:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$
RewriteRule uk(.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/uk$1 [L,R=301]
Edit: I hope that this will work for you according to your edit.
The first rule rewrites http://www.domain.com/uk and http://www.domain.com/uk/anything to http://www.domain.co.uk/uk/anything.
The second rule rewrites http://www.domain.co.uk to http://www.domain.co.uk/uk/.
Edit 2: I changed the rule (modified the last one and added another one) to reflect the demand for rewrites on .co.uk/something. If the path starts with uk/ then it just passes through, otherwise it gets rewritten to uk/something.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule uk($|/.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/uk$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^uk/(.*) - [PT,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.co\.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.co.uk/uk/$1 [L,R=301]
