I have a PHP site which replaces an ASP site, so the path structure is different.
In the URLs, I need to match http://apache.site/Cartv3/Details.asp & redirect to another location. What is the correct syntax to match that URL fragment?
I've already tried
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} CartV3/results1.asp?Category=60
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ home-study/A-Levels/1/page-1 [R=301,L]
and
RewriteRule ^CartV3/Details\.asp?ProductID=1004 home-study/A-Levels/1/page-1 [R=301,L]
You meed to read more about mod_rewrite. Remember RewriteRule doesn't match query string. You attempt needs to be rewritten as:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Category=60$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^CartV3/results1\.asp$ /home-study/A-Levels/1/page-1? [R=302,L,NC]
Once you verify it is working fine, replace R=302 to R=301. Avoid using R=301 (Permanent Redirect) while testing your mod_rewrite rules.
PS: ? after page-1 is a special mod_rewrite syntax to strip original query string. If you want to keep original query string in rewritten URL then take out ? in the end.
The problem here is that you are trying to match the query string, which has to be done by a separate RewriteCond. If you want the match specifically "Category=60", then you can add it as a Condition:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Category=60
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /CartV3/results1.asp
RewriteRule .* home-study/A-Levels/1/page-1?
This will match http://example.com/CartV3/results1.asp?Category=60 and redirect. The ? at the end of the rule stops "?Category=60" being to the resulting URI.
If you don't care about the value in the query string, then you can remove the first condition.

I have a URL that is in the format http://www.example.com/?s=query
I want to redirect this URL to http://www.example.com/search/query
I have the following .htaccess but I wanted to check if there is anything wrong with this. My RewriteRule looks a little wonky and I don't know if it will cause problems for other URLs.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /search/%1? [NC,L,R]
I ran a test Here and it seems to redirect to the correct URL.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /search/%1? [NC,L,R]
You will likely need the NE (noescape) flag on the RewriteRule directive if you are receiving a %-encoded URL parameter value, otherwise the target URL will be doubly-encoded. The QUERY_STRING server variable is not decoded by Apache.
It also depends on how you are rewriting /search/query back to /?s=query (or presumably more like /index.php?s=query?) - presumably you are already doing this later in the config? You only want this redirect to apply to direct requests and not rewritten requests (otherwise you'll get a redirect loop). An easy way to ensure this is to check that the REDIRECT_STATUS env var is empty.
For example:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /search/%1 [NE,QSD,R,L]
Other points:
The QSD flag would be preferable (on Apache 2.4) to appending ? to the end of the susbtitution string in order to remove the query string.
The regex ^s=(.*) (the trailing $ was superfluous) does assume that s is the only URL parameter at the start of the query string. As it stands, everything is assumed to be part of this value. eg. s=foo&bar=1 will result in /search/foo&bar=1.
The NC flag on the RewriteRule directive is superfluous.
Should you also be checking for /index.php?s=<query>? (Or whatever file/DirectoryIndex is handling the request.)
I am trying to rewrite my urls through a .htaccess file to make them more clean looking. I have
http://localhost:801/Test/test.php?school=19&name=Greenhaven-Elementary
and it needs to end up looking like
http://localhost:801/Test/test.php/19/Greenhaven-Elementary
In my .htaccess file I have the following
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-/+]+)([0-9]+)$ test.php?school=/$1&name=$2/ [L]
I have tried other ways but being new at using .htaccess files I haven't been able to figure it out.
This should do what you're after:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} school=(.+)&name=(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:801/Test/test.php/%1/%2? [R=301,NC,L]
So what does the above do?
First, it will take the query school= and name= as a condition, if this condition is met then it will grab any version of the variables using (.+).
It will then rewrite the URL using 301 redirection to show http://localhost:801/Test/test.php/anything/anything2. The use of %1 and %2 is to grab the variables from school= / name= and then we use ? to stop the original query string from appearing on the end of the newly rewritten URL.
Make sure you clear your cache before testing this.
EDIT:
I wrote this for the singular query:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} item=(.+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:801/Test/%1? [R=301,NC,L]
This includes removing test.php and on my server works without issue and returns http://localhost:801/Test/anything
I've got an application that has been migrated to a newer platform. The tasks are similar and I'd like to redirect a GET parameter to a directory. For example
http://gallery/index.php?gal=ABC => http://photos/gal/ABC
and
http://gallery/?gal=DEF => http://photos/gal/DEF
and the anything that doesn't get caught redirect it to http://photos
I've tried
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(\w+)=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^(/index.php)$ /%1/%2?
However all I get is a 404 and no redirection. Similarly, I've tried
RedirectMatch ^/index\.php\?=gal(.*) http://photos/gal/$1
but I'm having trouble escaping the ? in the original URL.
What would be the proper way of going about this?
Create a .htaccess file and insert the following code:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)=(.+)$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ http://photos %1/%2? [L,NC,R=301]
Your order is reversed. Rewrite it in front of you
RewriteRule /(.+)\/(.+) index.php?$1=$2
The question is old but might be still relevant for others, so I suggest a slightly different general approach:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} key=([0-9a-zA-Z]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /%1? [R=302,L]
Notes:
QUERY_STRING in the condition checks for a param name "key" and catches it's value
The rewrite rule adds the param value as directory using %1. Note the ? removes the original query part from end result
We want to redirect Below mentioned URL.
From URL:
www.example.com/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0
To URL : www.example.com/4G
We wrote 301 rules in apache configuration as below.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0 /4G [L,R=301]
But redirection is not working as expected. Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated.
mod_rewrite will not look at query strings as part of its matching, unless you specifically ask it to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/itemLevelFilterPage\.action$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G? [R=301,L]
The first condition makes sure we're looking at the right page, the second checks the query string, and the rule will rewrite the URL to the desired one.
The trailing question mark on the rule ensures the old query string is removed. If you're on Apache 2.4 the query string discard flag is available:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G [R=301,L,QSD]
More examples here.
I need page numbers from URLs of the form:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=XXXX&page=XXXX&#entryXXXX
so they become
http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=XXXX&#entryXXXX
where XXXX are integers
I've previously tried:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)showtopic=([0-9]+)&page=([0-9]+)(.*) http://mydomain.com/index.php?showtopic=$1$3 [QSA,L,R=301]
but to no avail. So I shortened it to:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)&page=([0-9]+)(.*)$ $1&$3 [QSA,L,R=301]
but still nowt. Is there anything wrong with the regex at all?
You can't match against the query string in a rewrite rule, you need to match against the %{QUERY_STRING} var inside a rewrite condition:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showtopic=([^&]+)&page=([^&]+)(&.*)?$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /index.php?showtopic=%1%3 [L,R=301]
The #entryXXXX part of the URL is a fragment, and the server actually never sees that. It's a client/browser-side only thing. Hopefully, the browser is smart enough to re-append the fragment after getting redirected.
