I am trying to create a rewrite rule in my httacess file for part of the url. I want to rewrite the url if the request contains a specific string. For example change the url only if contains /members/
So
mydomain.com/members/
mydomain.com/members/activity/ros1...
mydomain.com/members/ay/bd...
ALL above should change to another url because matches /members/ string in the url
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET /members/(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
I have tried various combinations but does not seem to work. I'm sure I'm doing something really wrong as not on expert on this. Appreciate any pointers.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.google.com/$1 [R, 301]
Would be something i would try to redirect a request for /members and send them to another domain. (with the same request uri). Further info on mod_rewrite can be found https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
You are using the F flag in your rewrites. The flag is to send the Forbidden status back to client. If you want to redirect the user to another URL, you'll need to pass that URL as the second parameter to RewriteRule directive with the R flag:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^members\b http://some-other-website.com [R]

I need to rewrite URL and save top level domain and query.
I tried to use these rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^domain(.*)$ http://newdomain$1 [R=302,NE,L]
Using this testing tool I found that it works if domain.com/query?param=value is used as a request URL. But if I try to use http://domain.com/query?param=value[ it doesn't work.
Basically I don't care what protocol is (http or https), I just need to replace first occurrence of domain string and rewrite it with newdomain saving all other parts of a request URL.
As it turned out in your comment to the first answer I gave you are actually trying to replace only part of the hostname of the incoming request but keep path and query string. That was not clear to me from your question, sorry.
You have to use an additional RewriteCond for this, since as said before you caanot access the hostname at all inside a RewriteRule. So I guess the following goes into the direction of what you are actually looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^\.]+\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^newdomain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.%1/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
You may want to try this modification to preserve the original request scheme too:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^\.]+\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^newdomain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://newdomain.%1/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
I am trying to redirect from
http://www.example.com:81/my/api/search?query=test
to
http://www.example.com:81/my/php/api.php?query=test
using
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^api/search(.*)$ /php/api.php?%1 [L]
However, it doesn't work for me. Additionaly for testing htaccess rules I use http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/.
Possibly even better would be to check if request starts from ^api and it's GET type (I guess using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD}) then redirect to /my/php/api.php?[query params here]
Anyone can point me into right direction?
If your .htaccess is located in /my/ directory then you can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query=.
RewriteRule ^api/search/?$ php/api.php [L]
QUERY_STRING will be automatically carried over to target URL.
I'm trying to send a URL in a URL, and there's ModRewrite in the middle.
Here's the Rewrite Rule. It's used to search for a user's profile.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(query)/(profile)/([a-z0-9:.()\-\ ]+)/?$ search/index.php?scope=$2&query=$3 [NC,L]
And this is the URL
http://www.example.com/query/profile/http://www.facebook.com/example
No matter how I do the rewrite rule, I keep getting NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error or NetworkError: 404 Not Found if it's a URL I put there.
How can I do this right? I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium. Am I missing something?
The URL above is passed using ajax.
Edit:
#htaccess in site1 folder
RewriteRule ^resources/?(.*)/?$ /control/$1 [NC,L]
#htaccess in control folder
RewriteRule ^(query)/(profile)/([a-z0-9:.()\-\ ]+)/?$ search/index.php?scope=$2&query=$3 [NC,L]
next folder is `search` which has `index.php`
URL used
http://www.example.com/resources/query/profile/http://www.facebook.com/example
EDIT:
I redid the RewriteRule like below, and don't get any error messages now, but Apache seems to be taking off one / from the url after the http://. So I get only http:/www.facebook.com/example. Any help with that will be appreciated.
RewriteRule ^(query)/(profile)/([a-z0-9\/:.()\-\ ]+)/?$ search/index.php?scope=$2&query=$3 [NC,L]`
You need to capture URL from RewriteCond otherwise Apache will trim multiple // into a single one.
Change this rule in root .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /resources/(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /control/%1 [L]
Have this in /control/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /control/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(query)/(profile)/(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /resources/search/index.php?scope=%2&query=%3 [QSA,L]
Hello All,
I need to rewrite http://mysite.com/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME to http://mysite.com/user/profile/MYNAME/following
I have written rule like this:
RewriteRule user/profile/(.*)/(.*) /user/profile/$2?profile_name=$1 [L,R=301]
when i put url like http://mysite.com/user/profile/MYNAME/following in the browser it always redirect me to http://mysite.com/user/profile/following?profile_name=MYNAME
What did i miss?
Thanks in Advance
You can use this code:
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+user/profile/([^?]+)\?profile_name=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /user/profile/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^user/profile/([^/]+)/([^/]*)/?$ /user/profile/$2?profile_name=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I'm trying to force an old URL to go to the new url and my code seems to have no effect
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^index2\.php?page=shop\.product_details&\.tabs\.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2$
RewriteRule .* /hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [R=301,L]
my old url is
www.mywebsite.com/index2.php?page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2
and my new one is
www.mywebsite.com/hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html
My code does not break anything but does not work either
Thanks in advance
As I understand you want redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) so the URL will change in browser. This will work for this URL ONLY /index2.php?page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^index2\.php$ http://www.mywebsite.com/hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [R=301,L]
If you want internal redirect (rewrite), then use these lines:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =page=shop.product_details&.tabs.tpl&product=310&category=71&Itemid=2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^index2\.php$ /hunting/back-packs/multi-packs/black-2.5-pack.html [L]
PLEASE NOTE:
You need to put these lines in a proper order (order of rules matters) otherwise (if you put it at the end) some another rule will rewrite it to a different URL.
This needs to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder. For any other location you may need to modify it a bit.
