Apache htaccess force out of www. EXCEPT a specific domain - apache

I have several sites that all run off of this sames rule to remove www:
# remove www from host
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-status
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s/%1 ^(on(s)|offs)/(.+)
RewriteRule ^ http%2://%3%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This works fine but I want a way to add exceptions, so I thought I could make a rule right under that like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.exceptiondomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.exceptiondomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But it isn't working.. thanks for the help!

It looks like your current rules will create a rewrite loop... remove www, add www, repeat...
You need to include the exception (an additional RewriteCond directive) in your first rule block and only remove www if the domain is not one of those you are creating an exception for. For example:
# remove www from host
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.exceptiondomain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/server-status
# etc...

RewriteCond for a folder only on a specific domain extension

I have a site that can be accessed via 3 domains (domain.com, domain.ch, domain.fr). The three use exactly the same files and folder, though.
Regarding the .fr domain (and only this domain), I need the following:
redirect domain.fr (root) to domain.com/fr/france.
This has been achieved with the following rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.fr$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.domain\.com\/fr\/france" [R=301,L]
It works. (There's also a functioning rule to force www. in front of every URL.)
What I can't get to work is:
redirect domain.fr/fr also to domain.com/fr/france.
and finally, redirect any URL domain.fr/fr/* to domain.com/fr/*
(keeping whatever * stands for).
The trick (to me) is that the same .htaccess file will also be present on domain.com and domain.ch, but those rules must not activate for those domains.
You can put these rules in your htaccess
# Redirect [www.]domain.fr and [www.]domain.fr/fr to www.domain.com/fr/france
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(|fr)$ http://www.domain.com/fr/france [R=301,L]
# Redirect domain.fr/fr/* to domain.com/fr/*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.fr$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/fr/$1 [R=301,L]
Try :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.fr$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/fr/france
RewriteRule ^fr/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/fr/france/$1 [R=301,L]

htaccess wildcard redirect not working

I have an htaccess wildcard redirect on a website, it redirect another domain to a main one and also redirects www to none www with wildcard for the main domain. The following rules are made with cpanel, however it does not use the wildcard.
These same rules work fine on many other sites just not the one in question.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain1\.ca$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain2\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain2\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
Any ideas? I am out of ideas for what could be causing this.
To add more clarification:
if i go to www.domain1.ca/some-page it should redirect to domain1.ca/some-page
However instead it goes to domain1.ca.
Tested in every browser, remade the rules, removed all cache and did multiple dns flush's, nothing has changed this.
You can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domain1.ca%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]

Need a htaccess redirect rule to ignore a certain folder

I'm redirecting my .com website to .net using this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cartoonizemypet\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.cartoonizemypet\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.cartoonizemypet\.net\/$1" [R=302,L]
Which works (huzzah!) The problem is I need to also exclude a single folder and all of it's contents: http://www.cartoonizemypet.com/catoonizer
I've been messing around with it all day, trying to adapt other peoples from here, but I just keep breaking the site. I'm afraid I just don't know that much about rewrite rules.
Does anyone know how I can make it work?
Try:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/catoonizer
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^cartoonizemypet\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.cartoonizemypet\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.cartoonizemypet\.net\/$1" [R=302,L]
Another way of doing it:
# Turn the engine on if it's not already
RewriteEngine On
# Check to make sure we're on the right host (www is optional)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?cartoonizemypet\.com$ [NC]
# Check to make sure we're not at the catoonizer URI (I assume that's a misspelling
# but it's what was in the example).
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/catoonizer) [NC]
# If all conditions are met, redirect as 302.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.cartoonizemypet.net/$1 [R=302,L]

Using .htaccess to redirect by domain, either in the URL or in HTTP_HOST

I am hosting several domains on the same apache server and I want to set them all up so that /home is unique to each domain. (suppose I have 3 domains example.com example1.com and example2.com) I have setup my file structure like this...
/www/htdocs/domain/example
/www/htdocs/domain/example1
/www/htdocs/domain/example2
http://example.com/home/ ==> .../domain/example/
http://example1.com/home/ ==> .../domain/example1/
http://example2.com/home/ ==> .../domain/example2/
So I have an htaccess rule like this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /domain/%1/$1 [L]
This works perfectly. But I want to extend it to include www.example.com So I add this rule.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.(.+)\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /domain/%2/$1 [L]
That works great, and is generally how I have been building my .htaccess file. It is growing quite unweildy and I need to rethink my approach. So I am trying to concatenate the above two rules into a single block. Here is what I have but it isn't working...
RewriteCond ^home/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.(.+)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.(.+)\.(.+)$ [OR]
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /domain/%2/$1 [L]
Additionally and separately I would like a rule that would cause the following URL to return error 404.
http://example1.com/domain/example/logo.jpg
I am answering my own question. At least the first part. I am still looking for an answer to the second part.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/home/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.+\.(.+)\.(.+)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /domain/%1/$1 [L]

mod_rewrite for specific domains in a mappings file

I have a bunch of domains that I want to go to one domain but various parts of that domain.
# this is what I currently have
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*\.?foo\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:www.foo.com} [L,R=301]
# rewrite map file
www.foo.com www.domain.com/domain/foo.com.php
www.bar.com www.domain.com/domain/bar.com.php
www.baz.com www.domain.com/other/baz.php.foo
The problem is that I don't want to have to have each domain be part of the RewriteCond. I tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
but that will do it for EVERY domain. I only want the domains that are in the mappings file to redirect, and then continue on to other rewrites if it doesn't match any domains in the mappings file.
I'm close as I figured out the the case matching, but unable to figure out the www prefix. If I use the first one below, it works without www. If I use the second one, it works with the www. If I use BOTH - neither work.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)$ [NC] # works for without www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC] # works with www
RewriteCond ${domainmappings:%1|NOTFOUND} ^(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^NOTFOUND$
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:%1} [L,R=301]
Any ideas?
You are on the right track. What you have to do is use the pipe operator on the map so that you have a catch-all.
RewriteCond ${domainmappings:%{HTTP_HOST}|NOTFOUND} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond %1 !^NOTFOUND$
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:%1} [L,R=301]
The second condition will not match if the host is not in the list. You still have to deal with the www prefix, and the case matching, but you get the idea.
