I have a Wordpress app deployed on OpenShift and a domain alias associated, i.e. www.example.org. Now I would like to add another alias, i.e. www.example2.org, and gracefully redirect all the request from www.example.org => www.example2.org.
I tried to do this via .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.org$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.example2.org/$1 [R=301,L]
Whenever contact www.example.org it generates an infinite loop of redirects and I can not understand why.
Openshift rewrites the redirect header, but you can prevent this by adding the port number to the URL. See more here.
There's no need for RewriteCond. And example.org is not an alias of example2.org. It's a brand new A record. You can eventually redirect www.example.org via your domain registrar's dashboard or create index.php with header('Location: http://www.example2.org');.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example2.org/$1 [R,QSA,L]

I am trying to redirect a domain to a subfolder within the same server. Let me break it down on topics:
I have the domain domain.com
I created the subdomain subdomain.domain.com
I redirected (A record) subdomain.domain.com to the domain.com server's IP address
I am trying to create a htaccess file that redirects every user that comes from subdomain.domain.com to domain.com/aaa
I can't figure out how though. I suppose I need to create a rewriting rule but don't know how.
To Redirect sub.example.com to example.com/folder you can use the following Rule in your /public_html/. htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/folder/$1 [L,R=301,NE]
I have a domain example.com added to the DigitalOcean (Ubuntu 16.04) with Apache2.4.18 and have Wordpress installed on it. The site is running properly.
The problem is, that all the request www.example.com redirects to example.com. I need example.com to redirect to www.example.com.
I see there are 2 ways to do it. 1. .htaccess and 2. Apache config file, currently using 000-default.conf file. I installed letsencrypt ssl, which added the following RewriteRule to 000-default.conf
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
based on the research online, I did modify the 000-default.conf to
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
and also tried the following code in .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Upon doing either of these, I get error of multiple redirection loop. Which basically redirecting example.com to www.example.com and www.example.com to example.com and so on. I tested the same on Redirectcheck.com.
The main issue is I can't seem to find out the first 301 Redirect which is all the request being redirected to exmple.com. If I can disable or overwrite the main 301 Redirect rule then I can achieve all the request to be redirected to www.example.com.
I did my research but I'm hitting my head hard here, any help would be really appreciated. Thank You!
So, I finally traced it down, all the configuration were correct, the only issue was in the WordPress -> Admin Panel -> Setting -> General. I have placed the site_url and main_url as example.com and when I updated it to www.example.com and tested again, It did fix it.
I am looking to migrate from old domain to new domain.
I have my old domain olddomain.com and new domain newdomain.com pointing to same ip address for now.
I have Apache server inplace to handle requests.
How do I 301 redirect all my
olddomain.com/*
&
www.olddomain.com/*
to
newdomain.com/*
Can I get exact regex or configuration that I need to add in htaccess.
My newdomain.com and olddomain.com both are being serverd by same apache from same IP so "/" redirect might lead to cycles? And so was looking for effecient way
I tried
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$ [OR]
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://comp16/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
And even tried adding in virtual host
RedirectMatch (.*)\.jpg$ http://comp17$1.jpg
But it does not redirect site when i hit localhost in browser to my computer name i.e comp16
In the configuration (VirtualHost) for each of your olddomain.com host try this:
Redirect permanent / http://newdomain.com/
Apache documentation for Redirect. This is the preferred way when everything should be redirected. If you must use mode_rewrite/htaccess there are plenty of questions around this on SO and one of them is:
How do I 301 redirect one domain to the other if the first has a folder path
EDIT
Recommendation from Apache regarding simple redirects:
mod_alias provides the Redirect and RedirectMatch directives, which provide a means to
redirect one URL to another. This kind of simple redirection of one URL, or a class of
URLs, to somewhere else, should be accomplished using these directives rather than
RewriteRule. RedirectMatch allows you to include a regular expression in your
redirection criteria, providing many of the benefits of using RewriteRule.
I also recommend to use an If statement as you can use it also in a multisite server. Just type:
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} == 'old.example.com'">
Redirect "/" "https://new.example.com/"
</If>
Write the below code in to your .htaccess and it will redirect all your old domain request to new domain.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I'd like to redirect only the base url to an external site.
For instance, I want example.com redirected to anotherdomain.com but I don't want example.com/path to be redirected.
So far, example.com/path redirects to anotherdomain.com/path. :(
EDIT :
First, thank you for the help! example.com now redirects to another.com without affecting the children paths of example.com.
However, ideally, m.example.com won't redirect to another.com. So it's really just example.com redirecting to another.com.
Add this to your .htaccess in your DocumentRoot. I am assuming that you are hosting only one domain on the server.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^m\.
RewriteRule ^$ http://anotherdomain.com [R,L]
I am trying to configure my Apache 2.2 version to use a 301 permanent redirect when someone types my url without the www. I want to configure this in the httpd.conf and not using .htaccess if possible. I have tried using Redirect permanent but the first variable has to be a directory and not a url. Any ideas how to configure boom.com requests to be redirected to www.boom.com using a 301 redirect in Apache? Thanks
Add the following:
# Canonical hostnames
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.boom\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=""
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.boom.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This will redirect all request which don't match www.boom.com to www.boom.com, with the same query path. (For example, boom.com/foo?foo=bar will be redirect to www.boom.com/foo?foo=bar).
If you have named virtual hosts you could put the extra RewriteCond entries #tux21b gave inside to isolate them. Also if you have mod_alias you could try this which should do the same thing:
<VirtualHost boom.com:80>
RedirectMatch permanent /.* http://www.boom.com$0
</VirtualHost>
I'm sure someone will comment if there's a reason to use one over the other.
