I am having some issues with URL re-writing that I cannot figure out. Here's the problem.
This URL IS NOT redirecting properly:
http://domain.com/index.php?en=oldpage
HOWEVER, this URL IS redirecting properly:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?en=oldpage
The only difference in the url that is not redirecting properly is the absence of the www.
Here is the re-write I am using:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^en=oldpage
RewriteRule ^(index.php/|)$ /newpage.html? [R=301,L]
I also have this re-write BEFORE other re-writes, to handle url's without "www.":
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Why will it not re-direct without the "www." ? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I guess there is some code/rule below those rules adding query string back to your URLs.
Try these rules instead based on THE_REQUEST variable which doesn't get overwritten:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(?:index\.php)?\?en=oldpage [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /newpage.html? [R=301,L]
Make sure to test it after clearing your browser cache.

I need to make a hidden redirect from sitename.dom to sitename.dom2 keeping the rest of string untouched.
For now I use:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename.dom
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename.dom2/$1 [P]
and it works perfectly. But. Due to multilanguage on my website the frontpage has the following path:
sitename.dom2/lang
thats why when user calls sitename.dom he is being redirected (hidden) to sitename.dom2/ and he's getting 404 page.
So, please advise how do I make a strict redirect for exact request only sitename.dom without any further?
I had tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename.dom2\/lang [P]
with no luck.
BTW, inside the website language subpath doesn't affect at all. sitename.dom/lang/page works as good as sitename.dom/page
I had to add the single redirect before all other. And use dom2 instead of dom1 in this rule.
Here is the solution:
RewriteEngine On
#redirect front page only:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom2$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.sitename\.dom2$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/sitename\.dom2/\lang" [L]
#redirect all other pages:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename\.dom2
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://sitename\.dom1\/$1 [P]
Simply add /lang in your first RewriteRule directive:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sitename.dom$
RewriteRule ^ http://sitename.dom2/lang%{REQUEST_URI} [P]
I need to redirect few URIs having query string like:
/pages/foo.bar?pageId=123456 to http://some.site/spam/egg/
/pages/foo.bar?pageId=45678 to http://another.site/spaming/egging/
I have this in my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=123456$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://some.site/spam/egg/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=45678$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://another.site/spaming/egging/ [R=301,L]
But its not working, showing 404. What am i doing wrong?
You need to move these 2 rules i.e. before all other rules just below RewriteEngine On line as other rules might be overriding this.
(Based on your comments) Your culprit rule is this rule:
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Which is actually rewriting every request to index.php and changing value of REQUEST_URI variable to /index.php thus causing this condition to fail:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
From your example, you get redirected to
http://some.site/spam/egg/?pageId=123456
http://another.site/spaming/egging/?pageId=45678
You can use your browser developer tools to see the redirection (in the Network tab).
Maybe the query strings in the redirected URL lead to a 404? You can add a ? at the end of your redirection to clear the query string:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=45678$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://another.site/spaming/egging/? [R=301,L]
I want my .htaccess file to redirect to some page if any wildcard as a subdomain entry hit the browser. i.e. I want
sam.xyz.com
To redirect to
sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
I am using following rewrite rules for redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Problem i am facing is that it does not shift to new domain keeping query string instead it generates an endless loop
sam.xyz.com
redirects to
http://sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
But doesnt move to url above without endless loop.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance,
you should add a condition for redirect to prevent redirection loop:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
the whole code would be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
You are redirecting to: prefix.domain.tld/view.php?id=prefix
Ensure that the url does not contain: id=prefix.
This solution prevents, that someone call's the url: aaa.example.com/view.php?id=bbb
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %1::%{QUERY_STRING} !^([^:]+)::.*id=\1
RewriteRule ^ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Note: (.*) in the rewrite rule is obsolete.
Leave the R away to do not redirect the visitor to the url (/view.php?id=%1)
I am trying to make a redirect for a subdomain but i can't figure it out.
This what I have now:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mysubdomain).myhost.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.myhost.com/folder/index.html [R=301,L]
But when I go to the subdomain address in my browser, there's no redirect.
I need this for only one specific subdomain.
Where am I going wrong?
Should be:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.domain.com/folder/ [R=301,L]
Try this, since you only need it from one domain. The () are pointless in both cases. Especially on the 2nd line where you aren't passing the old URL to the new URL.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.old-domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.myhost.com/folder/index.html [R=301,L]
Hi guys trying to get a 301 redirect working and having trouble. I need to redirect sub.domain1.com to www.domain2.com and make sure that any file names or parameters get sent over with it.
This is what I was trying:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I also tried this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^sub\.domain1\.com$ /www.domain2.com? [R=301,NE,NC,L]
Where am I messing up?
You missed the subdomain part and proper escaping.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Further explain can be found in this question.
Rule of thumb for rewriterules: from the most complex to the less complex.
And don't forget the QSA directive (QSA = Query String Append = "make sure that any file names or parameters get sent over with it")
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain2.com/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]
Tell me if it works.
