Hoping someone with more htaccess experience can help us with this. We have Drupal 7 site that we have just moved from a dev to the live host (different hosting companies). However, now when someone puts a url with no protocol directly into the address bar (for example: examplesite.com/members), the page redirects to examplesite.com/index.php. I have been muddling around trying to fix this in the htaccess file, but have not been able to find the proper syntax for allowing urls with no protocol, while also forcing https://.
Our code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
We have tried moving the RewriteRule ^ index.php [L] line to underneath all rules, or commenting it out. This fixed the initial problem, but breaks the drupal admin functionality on the backend (can't see the admin menu, can't save anything, etc)
Any insight would be helpful, let me know if more info is needed. Thank you in advance.
You need to move the entire block, conditions + rule to the bottom. Drupal routes everything through the index.php script and it requires the previous 3 conditions in order to do that properly. If you simply move the RewriteRule line, then the conditions are all gone.
RewriteEngine On
# this needs to come first
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# then drupal stuff comes LAST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]

I have a problem removing folders from an url. I want that google / old links aren't broken. The old webpage had several sections with a structure like this
example.com/news/items/entry1.html
example.com/news/items/entry2.html
example.com/blog/items/foo.html
The new page has the urls like this:
example.com/news/entry1
example.com/news/entry2
example.com/blog/foo
Removing html was rather straight forward
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.html[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=302,L,NE]
</IfModule>
The part I'm struggling with is removing the 'items' part. The rules I found only worked for request path like 'example.com/items/subfolder1/...'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To remove /items/ from your URLs you can use the following in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/items /$1 [L,R=301]
So for example, this will take the URL: http://example.com/news/items/entry1 and turn it into http://example.com/news/entry1
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
This probably seems like quite a simple question to most of you, but i'm having a real hard time getting my site to route all requests through the index file whilst also enforcing trailing slashes. I've searched high and low and not found an appropriate solution. My .htaccess so far is as follows:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
This is as far as i have managed to get and works apart from it adds the index.php into the url, for example if a user goes to;
www.example.com/about-us
I would like it to route through index and become;
www.example.com/about-us/
However my above htaccess file produces;
www.example.com/index.php/about-us/
Seems so close yet so far, anything i do to the htaccess file to try and remove the index.php just stops it from working entirely. I am aware my solution is far from perfect, it still allows access to directories and files however its the best i've been able to come up with (would ideally like to deny directory listing!)
Any help is greatly appreciated!
The ordering of rules is quite important in these cases. Switch the two rules order, and you should be getting the desired behaviour:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]
all the urls in my website actually go through a PHP page that handles them by the page GET parameter (i.e. domain.com/sub/test is actually domain.com/page_handler.php?page=sub/test).
files or directories that exist don't go through the handler.
I've been trying to 301 redirect all www.domain.com requests to domain.com for improving SEO etc.
the problem is that this doesn't seem to work, no matter what rule I use and where I put it. this is the .htacess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#THIS IS THE DISCUSSED RULE:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule (.*[^\/])$ page_handler.php?page=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ page_handler.php?page= [L,QSA]
DirectoryIndex page_handler.php?page=
When I put the rule in the current line, it works ok with pages that are supposed to go through the handler BUT it makes existing resources go through it as well (e.g. domain.com/page_handler.php?page=js/script.js) which is not good.
When I put it after the other rules it redirects www.domain.com/something to domain.com/?page=something.
So, the question is: how to redirect urls that begin with "www." to the naked (non-www) domains without affecting the other rules?
Thank you!
The problem with your code is that you are applying the first two conditions only to the non-www rule. Conditions can only be tested for the rule that immediately follows them.
So, you'll need to move those down, and clean up a bit:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /page_handler.php?page=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
If this causes issues for you, then you may want to change the way your page is detected, by using the REQUEST_URI instead of a $_GET['page']. If you want to do this (which is actually a better method), the last rule can be changed to the following:
RewriteRule ^ /page_handler.php [QSA,NC,L]
I have the following .htaccess file inside my root directory:
RewriteEngine On
<If "%{SERVER_NAME} = 'example.com'">
# The actual condition is really long one so I replaced it for illustration.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (iPhone|Blackberry|Android) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://m.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([a-z-]+)/$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://%{SERVER_NAME}/?title=%1 [L]
</If>
<Else>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([a-z-]+)/$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://%{SERVER_NAME}/?title=%1 [L]
DirectoryIndex /m/index.htm /m/index.php /m/index.html
</Else>
So as you can see its a pretty much simple way to redirect users of mobile devices to m.example.com and if that is the case I change the DirectoryIndex, few notes:
The reason I duplicate the same RewriteCond/RewriteRule is because I can't use them outside <If>/<Else> blocks.
The way I redirect(if/else) is not the question and I'm pretty sure not the best way, but if anyone have suggestions I'm all ears.
The problem:
If I access example.com/Article-Name on desktop browser there will be internal redirection to: example.com/?title=articleName but I won't see example.com/?title=articleName at my url bar as expected.
The exception:
If I access m.example.com/Article-Name my url bar is now m.example.com/?title=articleName.
I was expecting the same behavior as the desktop (internal redirection not redirection I can see on my url bar), I'm pretty sure its because the DirectoryIndex but I don't how to prove it or solve this issue, if anyone have a solution I will be very thankful.
The main issue with your code is that you're feeding it with an URL that is not the same as the current URL then, what happens is that it ignores the internal and make it an external redirect.
Another very important thing is that you forgot %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} to match against the mobile browsers.
Here is an idea to resolve your issue:
RewriteEngine On
# First we verify if its a mobile device and
# if its not already on the mobile subdomain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^m\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (iPhone|Blackberry|Android) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://m.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# here we deal with all the internal redirects for
# the mobile subdomain
RewriteRule ^m/index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^m\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /m/index.php?title=$1 [L]
# here we deal with the normal website
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L]
Your doing internal redirects, if you want to redirect to a new URL use external ones
Replace [L] with [L,R=302]
or 301 if you want the result to be cached
I'm using following htaccess rule which is proposed all over internet for removing index.php in codeigniter urls. And there are some of the redirection rules i added above it.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
The problem is:
I'm getting some odd http request, which i think is caused by htaccess rules above.
Here are some of them :
https://www.sitename.com/index.php/favicon.ico
which ought to be .com/favicon.ico
https://www.sitename.com/index.php/scripts/jquery.js
which ought to be .com/public/jquery.js
as a side note im using base tag to redirect assets to /public/
strange thing is i couldnt find where the second redirection happens
i tested whole site and javascript & css files load correctly
i handled this redirections by making my controller ignore those requests but a while ago
a strange error happened. which i asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11775849/htaccess-didnt-work-until-renaming-and-then-renaming-back
my guess is that, even though i ignore misredirected request, hosting company receives them and probably it was causing some trouble for them which led to the problem i shared in linked question by a maintenance of hosting company.
Anyway, Question is:
How can i make htaccess rule only redirect requests that doesnt have file extension at the end?
You're missing a line before the REQUEST_FILENAME line:
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|something|fav\.ico|robots\.txt)
You can modify this to suit your needs. I've got my JS/CSS etc in the assets folder so it's not affected by the rewrite.
so the full .htaccess will look like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|assets|something|fav\.ico|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
