I'm trying to archive an old website behind a /v4 directory on the new website. I was hoping that the below .htaccess was going to redirect any page from the example website to its corresponding page archived under the new domain. However, when I just tested the site it appears that example.org.au/contact.asp just went to newdomain.com/v4/ instead of `newdomain.com/v4/contact.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.org\.au$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.asp$ https://newdomain.com/v4/$1.html [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule (.*) https://newdomain.com/v4/ [R=302,NC,L]
The second RewriteRule is there for when people just go to the root domain but is it overriding everything?
Do it like this, and also your first rule was set to ignore example.org.au so would never fire. This will process any host served by the site. If that's not what you want let me know:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.asp$ https://newdomain.com/v4/$1.html [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^$ https://newdomain.com/v4/ [R=302,L]

I've set up a dummy website to test MediaWiki at https://wiki.rehman.website/
I want to redirect all direct external traffic to files and folders located after wiki.rehman.website/ to wiki.rehman.website/index.php. So for example:
These should redirect to wiki.rehman.website/index.php:
wiki.rehman.website/extensions/
wiki.rehman.website/docs/contenthandler.txt
wiki.rehman.website/NonExistantFileOrFolder
But obviously these should not be redirected (to prevent circular redirects):
wiki.rehman.website/
wiki.rehman.website/index.php
How do I do that please?
What I'm trying to achieve here is to prevent anonymous users (i.e. non-MediaWiki logged in users) accessing any part of the web directory or files.
This is my first time setting up a website, and my first time installing a private instance of MediaWiki. If you spot any other loophole or issue, it would be most helpful if you could let me know.
Many thanks in advance!
You can setup a .htaccess file in your root folder to accomplish that.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/index.php [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA]

How to Redirect All urls to a new domain in apache, except one
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/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before you test this.
I am asking because I can not for the live of me figure out what is wrong and so far none of the StackOverflow answers worked.
I have to redirect a domain to another subdomain, except the admin. For example:
sub1.domain.com/testsite/ shoud redirect to "sub2.domain.com/testsite/",
but sub1.domain.com/admin/ or "sub1.domain.com/de/admin/" should stay right where it is.
As a first step I tried to only check for the "admin", so everything would be redirected except "sub1.domain.com/admin/":
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^\/admin
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ 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/$1 [R=301,L]
The thing is I have one domain in different languages, and I´m not able to do some redirects like this:
I have Spanish http://www.domain.es/inicio
And English http://www.domain.en/inicio
Now, I need to move my page http://www.domain.en/inicio to http://www.domain.en/home
Both domains are using the same .htaccess and I´m not able to do a simple:
Redirect 301 /inicio http://www.domain.en/home
Cause that will redirect the spanish /inicio to /home too.
Also tested
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.en/inicio/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.en/home/ [R=301,L]
But thats also failing.
Did you try something like this?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /inicio/
RewriteRule ^inicio/(.*) /home/$1 [L,R=301]
You should redirect the content of the folder /inicio to folder /home if I got it right. There is no need to redirect everything since the domain is the same
The request should be GET since the users are accessing your website pages
I have this url http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course, i added this rule to the .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(.*)/(.*)$ course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
but when i go to http://www.example.com/Courses/get/38789/my-course nothing happens, i stay on the same page, there is no redirect.
p.s the link is just an example not the actual link
A more efficient method would be to use the following:
RewriteRule ^Courses/get/(\d+)/([^/]+)/?$ /course-$1-$2 [R=301,L]
Now, keep in mind that this rule should come before any rules that may rewrite the request to, say, an index.php file. This would be naturally true if the code you posted in your question was all of your code. If not, please post your entire .htaccess file so we can be sure it is being placed in the right location.
Be sure the mod_rewrite is turned on, and the you have set AllowOverride All in your virtual host/Apache site configuration. If you're running on a shared production server, this would not apply to you.
Side note: Whilst it does work, you need not use RewriteEngine on twice - only once at the beginning of your file will suffice. You also do not need RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Courses/get - it is essentially redundant as you are already using an expression to test against the request.
