I want to clean-up my .htaccess file of any unnecessary lines of code. This is what I have on there right now:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.aicmillworks.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.aicmillworks.com/$1 [L,R=301]
ReWriteRule ^home$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /([^\?\ .]*)\.(?:\?|\ |$)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl.*
RewriteRule .* – [F,L]
The two lines after "RewriteEngine on" are for redirecting pages with non-www to www. All lines after that, I am not sure what they do or why they are there. Would it be better to remove them or are they important to my website somehow? What do they do?
I'm not entirely sure what the third one does, but the rest of the rules are explained below.
# Redirect: prepend www. if the domain does not start with www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.aicmillworks.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.aicmillworks.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# Redirect: /home to /
ReWriteRule ^home$ / [R=301,L]
# Redirect: strip the file format. So /test.html redirects to /test
# I tried testing this on your site, but it didn't work, so I'm not sure if you have this rule enabled or not.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /([^\?\ .]*)\.(?:\?|\ |$)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]
# Block libwww-perl from your website. Usually for blocking bots
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww-perl.*
RewriteRule .* – [F,L]
As for "Would it be better to remove them or are they important to my website somehow?", they certainly won't hurt your website, so you may as well leave them.

I'm attempting to redirect any direct attempts to access sub.example.com/login over to the original domain/uri at example.com/login, and from the number of questions I've already read in regards to this exact thing, it would appear easy on the surface of it...
I don't know if there's something going on that's overriding the desired outcome, but I have the following rules in my .htaccess file, yet I'm still able to access sub.example.com/login without being redirected.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.example\.com/login$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/login$1 [L,R=301]
Actually, just for complete clarity, here's my entire .htaccess file contents. Maybe somebody else can see something wrong that I'm missing.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^wp-admin$ wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
# redirect subdomain login attempts to main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.example\.com/login$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/login$1 [L,R=301]
Put Redirect subdomain login rewrite condition & rule just after RewriteBase line. That should help to address your issue.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Redirect all subdomains to example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(.*)\.example\.com$ [NC]
# Redirect only bar & foo subdomains to example.com
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(bar|foo)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://example.com/ [L,R]
I would like to redirect from example.com/profile.php?UserName=xxxx to xxxx.example.com
xxxx contains a-z or 0-9.
I have tried bunch of codes to do it (some from this site) but none of them worked as I wanted it to be. Here is my current code:
RewriteEngine on
#this should redirect example.com/profile.php?UserName=x to x.site.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-_]+).example.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) %1/$1 [QSA,L]
#if link does not contain subdomain add www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
You need to put all of your redirect rules before your internal routing rules. The rules with the R flag redirect.
RewriteEngine on
# This redirects the browser to include the "www"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# This redirects the browser when profile.php is directly accessed
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+profile\.php\?UserName=([a-z0-9-_]+)
RewriteRule ^ http://%1.example.com/? [L,R]
# this internally routes the XXX.example.com to the profile.php script
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z0-9-_]+).example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /profile.php?UserName=%1 [QSA,L]
Since there was not a good answer here.. In order to rename a php file and use the subdomain extention.. I had to edit my DNS settings.. This tutorial helped :http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/server/apache/mod-rewrite/subdomains.html
I'm trying to setup a rewrite rule so that any text in place of a subdomain will be parameter one and any text after the first forward slash will be parameter two but I'm struggling with regex and am unsure about rewrite terminology.
For example, if someone requested:
joebloggs.mydomain.com
I would like them to see:
mydomain.com/index.php?site=joebloggs
Also, if someone requested:
joebloggs.mydomain.com/contact
I would like them to see:
mydomain.com/index.php?site=joebloggs&page=contact
By "see" I mean see the page, rather than see the URL - it's a CMS-like project so you can probably see where I'm going with it. Also, I've worked out how to remove www. so that's not an issue :)
EDIT
Current .htaccess is:
RewriteEngine On
# Remove trailing slash
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L]
# Remove www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.richardmjenkins.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://richardmjenkins.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Rewrite for site/page pair
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.richardmjenkins\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !p.php
RewriteRule ^(.+/)?([^/]*)$ p.php?s=%1&p=$2 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.richardmjenkins\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !p.php
RewriteRule ^$ p.php?s=%1 [QSA,L,NC]
1. In your host panel : add a subdomain with name : * for enable all subdomains
2. this is your htaccess code :
RewriteEngine On
Options +Followsymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?site=%1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?site=%1&page=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((?!www)[^.]+)\.(mydomain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?site=%1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^((?!www)[^.]+)\.(mydomain\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?site=%1&page=%2 [L,QSA]
I am probably attempting to take URL Canonicalization a bit too far but here it goes anyway.
Basically I am looking to the following:
301 redirect every base url to http://www.mydomain.com/ some pages are https it should recognize that and continue to use https where already used/requested
301 redirect away any trailing slashes ie http://www.mydomain.com/page/ becomes http://www.mydomain.com/page (I already have a line of code that finds the index.php page - this site is built on Codeigniter)
I Don't want the base url to have the slash stripped that is the only time a slash should be left behind
Find any instances of index.php (in the front middle or end of the url) and 301 redirect them out
ie http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/page/index.php/ becomes http://www.mydomain.com/page
301 redirect any use of my ip address to the actual domain
ie 11.11.111.111/page/index.php would become http://www.mydomain.com/page
Here is what I have so far in my htaccess file in my root directory:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)(/index\.php)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php/$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mydomain\.com)(:80)? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^11\.11\.111\.111$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#This makes sure that the server actually finds the index file although its not in the url
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|downloads|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index\.php/$1 [L]
I am stuck right now any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Revisions!!
I have made some progress and here is what I have so far
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
# index.php to /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /.*/index\.(php|html)\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)index\.(php|html)$ /$1 [r=301,L]
# index.php to / at the base url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /index\.(php|html)\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)index\.(php|html)$ /$1 [r=301,L]
# force www.
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^paolienvelope.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.paolienvelope.com/$1 [r=301,L]
# force no IP
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^70.40.204.154
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.paolienvelope.com/$1 [r=301,L]
#codeigniter direct
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|downloads|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
This successfully forces ip to url
Removes index.php or index.html from the url but correctly directs to the index file despite
makes sure the base url has www.
Still dont have the code to remove the trailing slash from only the request
any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
RewriteEngine on
# index.php remove any index.php parts
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.(php|html)
RewriteRule (.*)index\.(php|html)(.*)$ $1$3 [R=301,L]
# force www. (also does the IP thing)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.paolienvelope\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.paolienvelope.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# remove tailing slash
DirectorySlash off
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|downloads|css|js)
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R=301,L]
# codeigniter direct
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|assets|downloads|css|js|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
Let's try to solve this one point at the time. As said I'm no pro at this yet but any bit helps i guess:
I'll start with 2. because that one seems easier:
#get rid of trailing slashes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Does this work, instead of what you have?

I've been trying everything to manage a redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com,
but nothing seems to work for me. I always get a redirect loop - and I've tried various things I found here or on Google.
So here is my .htaccess, maybe someone could help me figure out what I can do to redirect correctly or if there is something wrong in here.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
# Redirect all to .php
# Example: example.com/hello -> example.com/hello.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,R=301]
# show example.com/index.php always as example.com/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]
Thank you so much!
I've already spent so much time trying to figure this out.
You have a rule that always matches, which is responsible for the infinite redirection. I've updated your ruleset below to fix that problem and perform the redirection you mentioned at the top of the answer. Let me know if this does what you expect.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect www.example.com to example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://example.com/$0 [R=301,L]
# This performs an external redirection? Is that what you want?
# Don't do the rewrite if we're already pointing at a file, otherwise we'll
# just redirect over and over because .* matches what we redirect to, too
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^.+$ $0.php [L,R=301]
# show example.com/index.php always as example.com/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]
The answer is Apache documentation, the documentation tell how to force usage of www. You just have to reverse the example.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 [L,R]
