Yeah .. yet another url rewrite question. Sorry but the solutions I tried didn't work and gave me infinite redirect loops :(
So, we have a directory on
example.com/interface/...
and want to redirect it to
service.example.com/interface/... (including all folders and files in it)
its physically the same location but example.com will move to another server soon and then interface.example.com will point to the old(current) server
Right now example.com and service.example.com point to the same web home directory (yay for duplicate content huh)
Also .. we have a rule in place
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
and I suspect this one is somehow, together with the other rules I tried, causing the infinite loop error because www.service.example.com does not exist (and shouldnt)
I suppose its rather simple but I just can't get my head around rewrite stuff :(
You can add a new rule for this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^interface(/.*)?$ http://service.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NC]

This website has a ton of extra domains (note: these are not subdomains; one of them, for instance, is http://eduard.fi) that the owner (or the SEO people, rather) wants to redirect to the main domain. Instead of listing them one by one, this is what I tried:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://masetti.fi/$1 [R=301,L]
However this creates a redirect loop. Why is that? This does not produce a server error, so for that part the syntax is correct, but it does not do what I want.
You were close, but made a logical mistake. Take a look at this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://masetti.fi/$1 [R=301]
An alternative would be that:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^masetti\.fi$
RewriteRule ^ https://masetti.fi%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
The RewriteCond has been slightly altered: It is the variable %{HTTP_HOST} you want to check, not %{HTTPS_HOST}which does not exist.
PS: it is a good idea to start out with a 302 redirection and only change that to a 301 once everything works as intended. That prevents issues with client side caching.
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/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before you test this.
I'm trying to archive an old website behind a /v4 directory on the new website. I was hoping that the below .htaccess was going to redirect any page from the example website to its corresponding page archived under the new domain. However, when I just tested the site it appears that example.org.au/contact.asp just went to newdomain.com/v4/ instead of `newdomain.com/v4/contact.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.org\.au$
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 really hope you can help me out (it is driving me crazy).
I've tried dozens of setups and nothing seems to work, Googled myself dizzy and tried numerous different setups, but it all seems to result in a loop or a server error.
This is what needs to happen:
I have a site with multiple domains attached to it. What I need is that when someone visits the website via the "domain.co.uk"-domain, a redirect to the correct language parameters (among others) takes place.
To be very specific: when visiting via "www.domain.co.uk" the visitor must be redirected to "www.domain.co.uk?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3"
I've made sure that the www is present with this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
The trouble is (I think) the redirect within the same domain without causing a loop.
I've tried stuff like this, but with no result:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
Hope you can help,
Cheers!
This will cause a loop:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
Because you're only checking the host header. Every time the redirect fires it will arrive back at the server with a host header of www.domain.co.uk and redirect again. You need to also check the query string and only redirect if it doesn't already match what you sent:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.co.uk$
RewrteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.domain.co.uk/?lang=en&noredir=1¤cy=3 [L,R=301]
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.
