I have a URL (http://www.example.com/). Whenever me, a user, or a bot(search indexers) enter (http://www.example.com/Folder) the domain automatically redirects to (http://www.example.comFolder). All browsers are removing this slash. This also applies to files and subfolders, the slash after .com is removed and the user is redirected to their default DNS search site.
What can I configure, either with DNS or on my server, to prevent the root slash from disappearing?
My Server is configured:
Ubuntu 14.04 VPS
Running Apache, PHP, MySQL
Domain purchased through NameCheap
Site uses CloudFlare DNS
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Check the configuration file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/your_site_name.conf. If you have a Redirect "/" "https://your_site_name.whatever", it might be that the redirect is stripping the forward slash from the URL there. If this is the problem, just add a trailing forward slash to the redirect url. This is what happened to me. I could navigate to the index.php but not to the info.php file I had placed at the root when I set up the virtual host.
Scour your Apache configuration for Redirect* or Rewrite* rules; also all .htaccess files in the DocumentRoot. If that doesn't turn up anything, examine the PHP application you're using.

I have set up a server with a wiki and Wordpress and Nextcloud on a new Domain, let's say it's testing.com. When I was finished, I wanted to change the Domain from testing.com to realdomain.com.
The server is running CentOS 7 with httpd (apache), so I changed the ServerName in /etc/httpd/conf/ to "realdomain.com". Then I changed the VirtualHosts in all the files in /etc/httpd/conf.d.
I added the new Domain to the trusted Domains of the Wordpress, Nextcloud and wiki. I restarted the httpd service and the server itself.
Yet, when I open realdomain.com in browser, it shows me my websites, but it puts testing.com in the address field.
I tried using mod_rewrite to change the URL, but then my webbrowser tells me that the site doesnt redirect correctly and that the redirects never stop.
I tried those rewrite rules in the .conf files and in the .htaccess (not simultaneously)- no success.
I removed all my files in conf.d and created a new DocumentRoot with a simple helloWorld.html - The Url still gets rewritten to testing.com.
Are there any other locations that could have rewrite rules? Did I miss anything?
Thank you so much in advance, this is killing me!
My website runs on WooCommerce in public_html. I have a Subdomain in a public_html/sub. When I try to access the sub using HTTPS it seems to redirect to /wp-admin. I'm using the default URL rewrites that come with WooCommerce. How can I fix this issue?
Look at the Apache Config / Vhosts etc.
Basically, search for *:443 in the configuration file (or [ipaddress]:443 if you have fixed IP addresses associated with your server).
This will explain the difference in behaviour.
I'm having the darndest time trying to figure this out.
I have a site on a legacy system which will not permit me to alter the .htaccess file at domain.com. I have moved part of this site to a WordPress install located at sub.domain.com. I have to make the URL domain.com/dir/ redirect silently to sub.domain.com/dir/. How can I go about this? I can edit the Apache config files for both domain.com and sub.domain.com, and the .htaccess for sub.domain.com, but not the .htaccess for domain.com
Thanks!
Just add the redirect into the apache config files. In the virtualhost for domain.com:
Redirect 301 / http://sub.domain.com/
If by "silently" (not sure what that's supposed to mean since redirects are involve the browser sending a new request), I'm guessing you want to reverse proxy? Then you'd need to make sure mod_proxy is loaded, then do:
ProxyPass / http://sub.domain.com/
My Apache installation on my Ubuntu 12.04 server redirects requests addressed to:
http://87.73.120.126
to
http://90.184.18.96/joomla/index.php/jomsocial
The address 87.73.120.126 is my servers current IP-address. The address 90.184.18.96 was the one it had half a year ago.
My question is: why does it do this? and how do I make it stop?
Half a year ago I wanted to make requests to http://90.184.18.96 redirect to http://90.184.18.96/joomla/index.php/jomsocial
I did this by adding this line:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://90.184.18.96/joomla/index.php/jomsocial
to the file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
A couple of days ago I tried to solve the current redirect problem by changing the line above to:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://127.0.0.1/joomla/index.php/jomsocial
and rebooting the server. This did not solve the problem!
Then I tried to do a global file search for the string 90.184.18.96 using this command:
sudo grep 90.184.18.96 / -irn --exclude-dir={bin,lib64,opt,sbin,tmp,boot,lost+found,proc,selinux,dev,media,root,srv,lib,mnt,run,sys,mail,log,doc,src,recovery-mode} --color
this search revealed a couple of outdated CRON-entries that I also fixed to use 127.0.0.1 instead. This didn't help either. So, where could the string '90.184.18.96' be residing? I guess it must be somewhere in order for anything to redirect to that address.
This server runs Joomla from the path /var/www/joomla/. As this path is not excluded by my grep-search any redirection emerging from Joomla should be revealed by the grep-search.
Two considerations:
Redirecting to 127.0.0.1 will redirect to the user's machine, not your server. If you're only spanning one server, you should not include your server's IP (it's not nice to access a site with a domain i.e. www.your-domain.com and be redirected to an ip address). So the rule should use variables for the host: %{HTTP_HOST} and %{REQUEST_URI} for host and path.
Besides httpd.conf you may also have redirect rules in your .htaccess which resides in the webserver root: and it's a hidden file so it could have been skipped by your grep, have a look into that as well. Beware the syntax of .htaccess and httpd.conf is slightly different.
You're achieving two things with that redirect: point to an installation which is off-root (/joomla) and setting a different homepage. Setting the homepage in Joomla is as easy as marking its menu item with a star in the menu item editor, so you might not need the second part.
My website is www.survivorssupply.com. I want to use SSL for my entire site because when I use SSL on only certain portions, the SSL certificate says certain parts were not delivered securely, not everything is secure, etc.
When I go into the Joomla admin panel, I set the entire site to force SSL for everything. I then get an issue with an endless redirect loop (301 error). My site is running the latest version of Joomla 2.5 on Nginx.
Is there some kind of rewrite I can use or does anyone know any Joomla tricks?
You are probably missing an extra parameter in the 443-section of your Nginx configuration. Add "fastcgi_param HTTPS on;" to the fastcgi-section.
#alfasin, Nginx doesn't use files like httpd.conf or .htaccess
check your httpd.conf and .htaccess for 301 redirect rules regarding HTTPS
you receive the warning that parts of your site are not secured because you have embedded links which use HTTP instead of HTTPS - I would create a backup of teh site and start changing all the urls in the: template, articles, modules etc.
