Apache RewriteRule fails on question mark - apache

We had a typo when creating URLs, so
/wasserh?hne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-dg11040-e+1281
should be redirected to
/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-dg11040-e+1281
the .htaccess starts with
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.kull-design.com$1 [R,L=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^eng/deu index.php
and normally sth like this works
Redirect 301 /blog/tag/wasserhaehne-aus-messing/ https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhahn-classic/wasserhahn-13cm-40-593+631
but this fails
RewriteRule /wasserh?hne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-dg11040-e+1281 https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-dg11040-e+1281
I tried to escape the ?, but that doesn't help. I suspect that the part after the ? is seen as query string, so I attempted
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} hne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-kurz-dg11040m+1277
RewriteRule ^/wasserh https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-kurz-dg11040m+1277 [R=301,L]
but that doesn't do the trick. There are similar questions, but they deal with real query strings.
Update:
I tested PanamaJacks solution using htaccess.madewithlove.be. It seems any url starting with wasserh is redirected to the same product. So i tried this instead
https://www.kull-design.com/wasserh?hne/wasserhahn-gebogen-dg110h76870+1295
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^hne/wasserhahn-gebogen-dg11010+1295
RewriteRule ^wasserh(.*)$ https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-gebogen-dg11010+1295 [R=301,L]
but it doesn't match the condition. Again escaping - or + has no effect.
Update:
Note that you have to put these redirects before the RewriteRule, that sends anything to index.php or it won't work in spite of the rewrite-conditions being correct.

Actually this should work kinda. Give this rule a try and see if it works for you.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.+$
RewriteRule ^wasserh(.*)$ https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-kurz-dg11040m+1277? [R=301,L]
Edit:
Then just try matching part of it that is unique to that URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^hne(.+)1281$
RewriteRule ^wasserh(.*)$ https://www.kull-design.com/wasserhaehne/wasserhahn-1-2-zoll-kurz-dg11040m+1277? [R=301,L]

Redirection is not working with mod_rewrite in htaccess

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]

htaccess cannot match the whole URL

I am accessing the following URL:
http://example.com/welcome
Where I have the following .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?package=base&page=$1 [L]
I am expecting to return
package=base
page=welcome
But instead is giving me a "500 Internal Server Error".
If I change the htaccess to
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^we(.*)$ /index.php?package=base&page=$1 [L]
It returns:
package=base
page=lcome
As expected, and if I change the htaccess to
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)me$ /index.php?package=base&page=$1 [L]
It returns:
package=base
page=welco
As I was expecting as well.
Now the question is... why it does not math the whole URL? What I am missing here? How can I say "take everything the user passes and put it on a variable"?
Thanks!
The rewrite engine loops, so without some sort of conditions, the regex ^(.*)$ matches index.php and so on. Try
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?package=base&page=$1 [L]

htaccess is redirecting seems to be ignoring not rewritecond

I have the following scenario and I've spent hours trying to work out why it's redirecting.
Here's my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/mypage/?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^mypage/?$ /testing.php [NC,L]
When I browse to http://www.example.com/mypage it is redirecting to https://www.example.com/mypage
I would expected because of the !^/mypage/?$ condition it wouldn't, however, I seem to be completely wrong!
Can someone please put me out of my misery and let me know why this isn't working?
Thanks in advance.
It is because 2nd rule is rewriting /mypage to /testing.php and your REQUEST_URI becomes /testing.php in the 2nd loop of mod_rewrite.
Have your rules like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(mypage/?|testing\.php)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
RewriteRule ^mypage/?$ /testing.php [NC,L]
Also make sure to test it in a new browser to avoid 301 caching issues.

Check URL and stop processing using htaccess

I want to check URL using htaccess. Developer might want run special file - specialfile.php. I use htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /specialfile\.php$
RewriteRule .* [L] #don't change adress
RewriteRule ^$ public/index.html [NC,L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [NC,L]
My idea was: if rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/specialfile.php$ true than htaccess should use RewriteRule .* [L] - that should mean that specialfile.php will be run and this all. But it doesn't work because it runs next rule: RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [NC,L].
I think you are using the RewriteCond not correctly. The conditions only affect the next RewriteRule that follows.
Check out the example on the Apache Homepage. Since your 2nd RewriteRule is evalutated, I think your conditions are not correct. To get a litte bit more information about the rewriting, you should increase the log level. This is also documented here.
Your 2nd rule ^$ matches only an empty request btw. That's why it probably does not work as you expect it to.

How can I math a regular expression to write an htaccess rule

I want this URL
http://rebateninja.com/index.php?page=home
To be previewed like this via htaccess
http://rebateninja.com/home
I know it is not that hard and I have done that before, but for some reason it is not working now at all. My .htaccess contains the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (index.php\?page=)(.*) /$2 [NC,R=301,L]
What I am doing wrong? Perhaps it is related to my Apache version? I have lost my entire morning without success!!! Thanks for your answers.
You can't match against the query string in a RewriteRule, you need to use a RewriteCond with either %{THE_REQUEST} or %{QUERY_STRING} and use a % to backreference groupings:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|POST|HEAD)\ /index\.php\?page=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule /%2? [L,R=301]
That externally redirects the browser so that the URL in the address bar changes. In order to internally rewrite it back you need to do:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.phjp?page=$1 [L]
Try this.
RewriteRule ^index.php\?page=(.*)$ /$1 [NC,R=301,L]
