Endless loop in .htaccess when rewrite to a folder - apache

I've got the root of my domain with some folders.
app
scripts
shop
And I want to redirect with the .htaccess everything to the folder shop, except app and scripts. I wrote the next .htaccess, but I've got a 500 ERROR INTERNAL SERVER. I saw the log file and it says that there is and endless loop.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/app
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/scripts
RewriteRule (.*)$ shop/$1 [L]
I have another hosting with other apps and cms in the same hosting provider. Even with the same structure and it works perfect, then I don't undertand why doesn't work here.
How can I avoid the endless loop?
EDIT: I want that the redirect will be invisible, not with [R]
EDIT 2: My purpose is:
Having this folders:
app
scripts
shop
Access to the shop folder with the URL: domain.com
Access to the app folder with: domain.com/app
Access to the scripts folder with: domain.com/scripts

You'll also have to exclude URLs beginning with shop:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$ /shop/ [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /shop(/\S*)? [NC]
RewriteRule ^shop / [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(app|scripts|shop)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /shop/$1 [L]

.htaccess redirect issue with multiple .htaccess file

I am using .htaccess file like below for redirect www to non www on my public_html directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
its working fine and redirect like below
www.example.com
to
https://example.com
Now in my sub directory called latest, I have another .htaccess file like below
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
which is making my url clean like below
www.example.com/latest/index.php?page=1
to
www.example.com/latest/1
but even I have .htaccess file in home directory which is making www to non www, my this directory does not redirect www to non www.
I want redirect
www.example.com/latest/1
to
https://example.com/latest/1
I am sure .htaccess file in my directory is causing issue but I do not know how to resolve it. Let me know if anyone here can help me for the same.
Thanks!
The problem is, mod_rewrite is not inherited (at least by default). If you have a rewrite rule in the "default" directory .. You're going to have to include that rule in all subsequent directories "below" that. I have never seen (or heard of) a setting for allowing mod_rewrite to allow inheritance from parent .htaccess files. In general, this is just accepted as "the way it is".
UPDATE
THIS QUESTION In Server Fault explains this as well. The mod_rewrite rules from the previous htaccess files don't even get processed.
COMBINE THE 2 in the SUB DIRECTORIES
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# add this only to sub directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

.htacces - Redirect all requests to a certain directory, except for direct url access

I have a forum and a website which were located in / (root) and /website/. Now, I moved my forum to /forum/ in order to organize the web server better and to be actually able to find something when needed.
What I want to do is somehow redirect requests like
www.mywebsite.com
http://mywebsite.com/
http://www.mywebsite.com/
to /website/ and any request made to my base url but followed by a page (www.mywebsite.com/index.php as an example) to my /forum subfolder.
Is that even possible to do en-mase ? Or can I least redirect if I match a specific file ?
Rule that redirects requests to base url over to my website folder that I have in my .htacces already.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www.domain\.com\/website_folder\/" [R=301,L]
Thank you for your help.
You can use this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?$ /website_root/ [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^((?!(?:website_root|forum)/).+)$ /forum/$1 [L,NC]

.htaccess Subdirectory Rewrite with Jekyll

I have a small blog in generated with Jekyll up on a shared Apache server. I have been following this guide to set up the server so that I can update the site by pushing changes via GitHub, but I haven't even gotten that far yet. The .htaccess rewrite rule to point the domain to the generated /_site subdirectory has me stumped. The code I'm using (below) is redirecting the site correctly, but the guides I've read say that this code should hide the subdirectory from the URL, and this is not happening. It works correctly on the homepage, but subpages still have /_site/ in their URL. Any ideas?
My website
.htaccess file
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joejoiner.tk$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/_site/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /_site/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?joejoiner.tk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ _site/index.html [L]
Add a trailing / to the end of line 6 in the above code block, like so:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /_site/$1/

htaccess issue causing internal server error too many redirects

so I am playing with .htaccess to have clean URLs in my codeigniter app.
in short, i am trying to:
1) remove index.php in urls (redirect permanent)
http://localhost/directory/index.php*
to
http://localhost/directory/*
http://my.domain.com/index.php*
to
http://my.domain.com/*
2) rewrite requests for certain controllers to index.php/[controller_name]
http://localhost/directory/controller1*
to
http://localhost/directory/index.php/controller1*
http://my.domain.com/controller2*
to
http://my.domain.com/index.php/controller2*
my htaccess file currently goes like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /
# Redirect index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/system/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php((/)(.*))?$ /$1/$4 [R=301,L]
first issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/index.php/controller1.
instead redirecting to http://localhost/dir/controller1, it redirects to http://localhost//controller1 ($1 return empty string?)
# Rewrite CI certain controllers
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} directory/(home|other_controller) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)(home|other_controller)(.*)$ /$1index.php/$2$3 [NC,L]
second issue:
this does not work for http://localhost/dir/home gives internal server error (too many redirects).
but if I test added R=301 code, it successfully redirect to http://localhost/dir/index.php/home. but this is not my intention to redirect, I only need to rewrite it.
please advise.. :)
Try with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
You can place this in the directory the bootstrap file (index.php) is in.
If you have FastCGI implementation, you need to add a question mark in the rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

.htaccess Rewrite Within Directory - Hide PHP extension and force trailing slash

I'm trying to hide the .php extension from my files as well as force a trailing slash on the resulting URLs.
Example: A request to /about.php would become /about/ and requests to /about would go to /about/.
The following rewrite code worked perfectly when I was in the root of my hostdomain:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://edit.mydomain.org/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)\.php\ HTTP/ [NC]
RewriteRule .+ http://edit.mydomain.org/%1 [R=301,QSA]
However, I need to move my files into a directory of this host name. Adding a directory name to the rules and having the .htaccess in the directory itself didn't work at all and seems to cause a endless redirect.
I looked around StackOverflow and other websites and tried numerous examples and ended up with many different errors with the most common being:
Everything is an endless redirect.
Everything except the directory home page is a 500 Error.
about.php redirects to /about but there's no redirect to /about/ and /about/ displays a 500 Error.
Everything working, but the home page (of the directory) index.php when accessed without a filename goes into an endless redirect.
Things redirect to edit.mydomain.org/home/username/public_html/mydomain.org/edit/pagename.php which obviously doesn't exist.
Thanks for any help! I really need to keep these files in a directory although the .htaccess could go into the host name root if its needed.
The directory for this would be edit.mydomain.org/dave/
Save this as a .htaccess and put it in the 'dave' directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://edit.mydomain.org/dave/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1.php [L]
This works for me
RewriteBase /
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
