Mod Rewrite link, and disable original - apache

I have a working mod-rewrite.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^notifications$ /notifications.php [L]
However, I've seen on some sites, their links seems to be all like website.com/login website.com/notifications website.com/profile
I think I have achieved the same results with my mod-rewrite. But how can I prevent users from entering my /notifications.php page like how some other website does?
Thanks!

Add another rule that looks for a direct request for the php file and redirect it to the non php URL:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /notifications\.php
RewriteRule ^ /notifications [L,R=301]

.htaccess redirect to subdomain url with hash

I'm trying to redirect a site with the following url structure:
https://example.com/2021/about
to
https://2021.example.com/#about
https://example.com/2021/visit
to
https://2021.example.com/#visit
how can i do this?
i tried adding this to the /about directory in the original domain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) https://2021.example.com/#about [R=301,NE, L]
but what i got after the redirect was
https://2021.example.com/#about2021/about
which is not right. any help is appreciated
[EDIT] i only want to apply this to some folders, like /2021/about and 2021/visit
You may use this redirect rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(20\d{2})/(.+?)/?$ https://$1.%1/#$2 [R=301,L,NE]
Make sure this is your topmost rule in .htaccess and you clear your browser cache before testing this new rule.
Could you please try following, written based on your shown samples. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Following will only be applied to 2021/about OR 2021/visit uris.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(2021)/(about|visit)/?$ http://$1.%1/#$2 [R=301,NC,NE,L]

Redirecting All Requests to Index.html

I would like to redirect all requests made to my website to index.html if the request aren't made from AJAX. Apart from just redirecting, I would like to append the request URI as a get parameter to index.html, for example if someone visits http://example.com/something.html, the person should be redirected to http://example.com/?origin=something.html. To achieve this, I have the following code in a .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Requested-With} !=XMLHttpRequest
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-REQUESTED-WITH} !^(XMLHttpRequest)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index.html)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/.*.html$ /index.html?origin=%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NC]
However, it does not redirect any requests as expected. I'm on Apache/2.4.33, Ubuntu 16.04. What am I doing wrong?
As CBroe pointed out, I was facing the issue because the context of .htaccess has the initial / removed from %{REQUEST_URI} that is usually the conditional part of RewriteRule. Therefore, the solution was only having to change the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /index.html?origin=%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NC]

redirect url already rewritten in htaccess

I have written htaccess
my actual url is
https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form
rewritten as
https://www.example.com/for-brands/partner-with-us
which works fine as I have written rule as
`RewriteRule ^for-brands/partner-with-us$ https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form [NC,L]`
but I want redirection if some user visits direclty https://www.example.com/index.php?route=information/partnership_form
to
https://www.example.com/for-brands/partner-with-us
below is my code redirect but I've tried many ways form other links of stackoverflow still I cant find any solution
rewriterule ^index\.php?route=information\/partnership_form(.*)$ /for-sports-brands/partner-with-us$1 [r=301,nc]
You can not manipulate querystring like that. You need to use a RewriteCond
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=information/partnership_form [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /for-brands/partner-with-us? [NC,L,R]
The ? at the end of the rewrite target is important as it discards the old querystrings.

Mod Rewrite, Unexpected Results

We are trying to redirect everything from one domain to another with the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
When we visit http://www.example.com/v2sc
We are being redirected to http://www.example2.comv2sc
We would like to be redirected to http://www.example2.com/v2sc considering www.example2.comv2sc is not a valid hostname
Any ideas on how we can accomplish this?
Thank you!
It seems like you're using a .htaccess file for this. In that context the leading slash is not present in %{REQUEST_URI} so it's up to you to put it back in.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example2.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
Please also note that solutions like this should be used only if you cannot edit the main server configuration file. Doing so would allow you to use a cleaner combination of vhosts and Redirect directives that would run much more quickly.

htaccess rewrite

I've rebuilt a site using a CMS and I want to make the old urls point to the new pages. I'm having trouble because the old URL looks like this: ?secc=country_club. For instance, domain.com?secc=country_club.
I would like to either have a rule for each url or have it rewrite the ?secc=country-club to just country-club
This is what I have tried, without any success:
RewriteRule ^secc-([^-]*)$ /?secc=$1 [L]
I think it has something to do with the ? in the url
Also if it helps, I am using joomla and I do have sh404sef.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^secc=(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) %1? [R,L]
This will redirect http://example.com/?secc=MYPAGE to http://example.com/MYPAGE
I think you meant to write '=' after ^secc:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^?secc=(.*)$ "$1" [QSA]
