I have two separate queries on my vhost.conf file but both are failing and here is the code example;
1: I want to be able to get anything from this domain and check whether its http OR https and then redirect it to the rewrite rule
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.example\.com|example\.com|example2\.example\.com) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
RewriteRule ^/testing$ https://google.co.uk [R=301,L,QSA]
For some odd reason, it only works on HTTP protocols, so the redirects are working fine on http://example.com/testing. However, i need it to also work for the https version.
2: I have some RedirectMatch 301 in place to redirect catch all on all domains. However, none of them seem to be working. Question: is that the best method or should use RewriteRule.
RedirectMatch 301 ^(/superexample/?.*)$ http://www.superexample.com
RedirectMatch 301 ^/enexample(/?.*)$ https://www.enexample.com

Let me explain my setup here, I have two domains, for the sake of naming them lets call them domain1.com and domain2.com. I have shared hosting that runs cPanel.
Domain1.com is my main domain, and is what I have my hosting account setup using. I have a website hosted at that domain. Domain2.com is set as an add-on domain, and directs to a folder inside of the main domains root. That has it's own website (a Ghost blog).
That all works fine. However the websites hosted at the two domains are quite different and I did not want the subdomain to work, but as far as I can tell add-on domains in cPanel have to have a subdomain in order to be added to the account. The redirect options for the subdomains in cPanel aren't good enough for me, as I wanted anyone accessing say domain1.com/domain2 to get a 404 error as if it didn't exist. So I set up the .htaccess file for domain1.com to look like this:
RewriteEngine On
#301 (permenant) redirects all HTTP requests to HTTPS (SSL)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#404 redirects all domain.com/subdomain requests
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain1.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/domain2/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,R=404]
#404 redirects all subdomain.domain.com & www.subdomain.domain.com requests
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain2.domain1.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain2.domain1.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,R=404]
This worked perfectly, anyone tryting to access domain2 via domain1 would get a 404 error. But that was before I installed Ghost on domain2 After getting Ghost installed I created an .htaccess file in the domain2 folder inside of domain1's root.I had to put this in it in order for Ghost for to run, as it uses NodeJS:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:55555555/$1 [P,L]
This also works perfectly except for one aspect. Now all requests to the domain using domain1.com have started working again. For example if I type domain2.domain1.com it will now show me the Ghost blog where as before it was correctly displaying a 404 Not Found error. Why is this and how do I go about rectifying this issue?
As a side note, I also started trying to have all http requests redirect to https. I added the following to the domain1.com htaccess file as I wanted all requests on both domains to redirect to https and I assumed this was necessary:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Now this kind of works. All requests, whatever they are (with or without www for instance), redirect to https, and when I visit it in my browser I get a green the icon indicating it's secured with SSL. Again even with this the previous issue of the domain redirect still doesn't work. But I have another odd issue here.
If I type in my browser simply "domain1.com" (ie without https:// or www. or a combination of the two), it will show just "domain1.com" in the address bar but with the green icon and say it is secured. If however I type in "domain2.com" (again with no https:// or www etc.) it does the same thing except it states it is not secure, suggesting it requested http.
And yet if I type in www.domain2.com or http://domain2.com, that works and I get the secured icon. It is highly puzzling. It seems that the https redirect works on every request except for just "domain2.com" while any other variation (www.domain2.com, http://domain2.com etc) works fine. Any clues? I mean clearly I've done something wrong with the htaccess files but I don't know what, I got most of what I'd put in them from searching sites like Stackexchange, but personally I don't really know anything about them or how they work.
I think I have fixed my own problem here.
I corrected the main htaccess so the https redirect acts like this;
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
From what I can tell it's better to do it this way than the way I had it previously. This in itself didn't fix the problems. What fixed it for me is editing the domain2.com htaccess to look like this:
RewriteEngine on
#Force WWW if it isn't in the request
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC,OR]
#Or include WWW even if it is in the request
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
#Then Force it to use https
RewriteRule .* https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
#Defines this domain so main htaccess rules for subdomains work
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)?domain2.com$ [NC]
#Proxy for Ghost
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:55555555/$1 [P,L]
Now everything works. All requests are redirected to https. All requests to the subdomain from the main domain fail with a 404. domain2.com now redirects to https://www.domain2.com or https://domain2.com so it is now always secured by SSL. I'm a novice at htaccess as is probably evident and I've no doubt some or all of this could have unnecessary elements removed or simplified so if anyone wants to correct my syntax so it's less messy I'd appreciate it.
I must have read every answer here 100 times but I still cannot get this to work (maybe my VPS) but I am also pesting my hosts and they cant crack it either.
Old website https://www.olddomain.co.uk i want to 301 to new website http://newdomain.com.
I have tried every conceivable htaccess code / rules I can find but still no good.
Any ideas these are the 2 I have been working with below but seems like htaccess doesn't recognise the SSL and therefore run the rule to redirect.
RewriteEngine on
# First rule - if this is an SSL connection, then redirect
# to http://enginecoreplugs.com then stop processing other rules
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://enginecoreplugs.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Second rule - all other requests, redirect to http://enginecoreplugs.com.
RewriteRule (.*) http://enginecoreplugs.com/$1 [R=301,L]
OR
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) http://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
If it helps at all, old website I am wanting to 301 = https://www.enginecoreplugs.co.uk new website = http://enginecoreplugs.com.
Thanks in advance!!

I had everything correct.
This ended up being some stupid problem at the hosts forwarding the https versions.
Variations on this question have been asked, and so I apologize in advance -- I simply cannot get this to work. I know the devil is in the details with the .htaccess, so I'm sure I'm missing something small.
Here's what have:
I have a page: example.com/ which redirects all traffic to its https equivalent. I'm building the next version of the same site inside of the directory example.com/example.com/ I'm trying to write a redirect that will send all traffic to its https equivalent except for the directory that I'm working in, which should be left alone. My problem is, whenever I try to access example.com/example.com/ I get redirected to the 404 of example.com (which makes sense). I just can't get the redirect to not loop indefinitely.
I currently have a redirect from http to https for example.com as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
This works just fine, and only causes troubles when I try to access the subfolder.
tl;dr
Here's what I need:
http://example.com/ REDIRECTS TO https://example.com/
http://example.com/[anything else] REDIRECTS TO https://example.com/[anything else]
https://example.com/example.com/ SHOULD NOT REDIRECT
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [L]
Hi Im moving a site from one domain to another, and I have created the following .htaccess file, but its not working.
*#Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
redirect 301 http://www.el-netshop.dk/pi/Dækkape_UG150_12_lysegrå_5302_.aspx http://www.el-netsalg.dk/pi/Dækkape_UG150_12_lysegrå_5271_.aspx
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^el-netshop.dk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.el-netshop.dk$
RewriteRule (.)$ http://www.el-netsalg.dk/$1 [R=301,L]
I would like it to work like this.
Have a list of urls where the url is diffent, with more then just the domain. Ex. in the above the from link contains 5302 but to link is 5271.
Then with the rest, I want it to make a normal redirect.
The above code just do (.*)$ http://www.el-netsalg.dk/$1 and ignores the special cases.
What am I doing wrong?
According to the apache docu the syntax is as folows:
Redirect 301 /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
So try:
Redirect 301 /pi/Dækkape_UG150_12_lysegrå_5302_.aspx http://www.el-netsalg.dk/pi/Dækkape_UG150_12_lysegrå_5271_.aspx
without the "http://www.el-netshop.dk" for the old-path paramater.
I currently have a host where my main site is hosted on. I have set up nginx on another server to mirror/cache files being requested if it doesn't have it already, in particular images and flv videos.
For example:
www.domain.com is my main site.
www.domain.com/video/video.flv
www.domain.com/images/1.png
I would like to ask apache to redirect it to imgserv.domain.com (imgserv.domain.com points to another server IP)
imgserv.domain.com/video/video.flv
imgserv.domain.com/images/1.png
Basically redirect everything with certain filetypes and preserving the structure of the URL, like flv etc.
I tried something but I am getting a redirect looping error. Could someone help me out?
Thank you!
This is what I have at the moment
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RedirectMatch 302 ^(.*)\.gif$ http://imgserv.domain.com/forums$1.gif
RedirectMatch 302 ^(.*)\.jpg$ http://imgserv.domain.com/forums$1.jpg
RedirectMatch 302 ^(.*)\.png$ http://imgserv.domain.com/forums$1.png
You are mixing up two different modules: RewriteEngine and RewriteCond are from mod_rewrite while RedirectMatch is from mod_alias. They can’t work together.
Try this mod_rewrite example instead:
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(gif|jpg|png)$ http://imgserv.example.com/forums/$0 [L,R]
