My site is www.mysite.com and I need to redirect any request to us.mysite.com.
So:
www.mysite.com ----> us.mysite.com
www.mysite.com/hello.php ----> us.mysite.com/hello.php
// etc
I tryed this but doesn't work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://us.mysite.com$1 [R=301]
It looks like your RewriteCond is only matching domains that start and end with mysite.com. This does not include www.mysite.com.
The following will 301 redirect anything NOT at us.mysite.com to us.mysite.com:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^us.mysite.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://us.mysite.com/$1 [R=301]
There are several different solutions. The best one, both from SEO and User perspective, is the one-to-one 301 redirect. It preserves your link juice and at the same time redirects the client to the exact location on the new website.
If you have mod_alias enabled, I would suggest a simple
RedirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ / http://new.domain.com/$1
The result instruction can be accomplished with
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.*) http://new.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The second one is the best choice if you need to chain multiple conditions and filters. For example, if you need to redirect only certain hosts or clients depending on User Agent header.

I have 2 domains, the old domain is mjvandco.co.uk and he wants this redirecting to mjvlaw.co.uk. I have both pointing to the same webspace but when I test the URLs using https://httpstatus.io/ I get different results.
I have the following in my htaccess along with other stuff, but this is the redirect content:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mjvlaw\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
# Remove .html (excluding blog)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog(.*)$
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
The only URL that now is not right is this one: http://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/. I used this site
https://mjvlaw.co.uk - goes to https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk
http://mjvlaw.co.uk - goes to https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk
http://www.mjvlaw.co.uk - not work as does not go to https
https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk - fine
However, when I do the same for the old domain it all works as it should and every one below goes too https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk.
https://www.mjvandco.co.uk
https://mjvandco.co.uk
http://mjvandco.co.uk
http://www.mjvandco.co.uk
Am I doing something stupid here? Should I create another webspace and have one folder for the old domain and what for the current one and each having it's own htaccess file?
Thanks. I have done another ticket a month or so back but I am not sure how to change the questions, so I apologise for the similar ticket.
You rule only redirects non-www http URLs to SSL version of your site. To redirect both non-www and www http versions , replace your first rewrite block with the following
RewriteCond ℅{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mjvlaw\.co\.uk
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.mjvlaw.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
Make sure to clear your browser cache before you test this.
I have two webs on two different domains. One is on domain.com and the other web is on domain.es.
I am shutting down the web on domain.es but first I have to redirect every request to domain.es to domain.com. This is easy and I had already done it with RewriteCond & RewriteRule, like this:
www.domain.es/ -- redirects to --> www.domain.com/
But I am having a problem now. I also need to redirect one specific page from domain.es to domain.com like this:
www.domain.es/a_page/ -- redirects to --> www.domain.com/another_page/
I am having problems when redirecting with both rules, as when apache detects a request to www.domain.es/a_page it goes to www.domain.com/ and not to the specific page I need.
I have this in my virtualhost:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/a_page/
RewriteRule ^(.*)& http://www.domain.com/another_page/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/
RewriteRule ^(.*)& http://www.domain.com/ [R=301,L]
I've got the [L] flag so apache would stop processing rules, but this is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.es/a_page/
The line above is never going to match anything - you're asking if the host is equal to domain.es/a_page/, which is a host as well as a path. You need to test against only the hostname, and then redirect based on the path, e.g.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.es
RewriteRule ^a_page/ http://www.domain.com/another_page/ [R=301,L]
I'm looking to redirect each and every page on the old domain to a single page on the new domain. It should also redirect both the www and non-www versions. Every single request to the domain old.com, whatever it may be, should lead to www.new.com root.
old.com/1.php
www.old.com/2.php
old.com/2.php
old.com/links/index.php
old.com/about-us.html
old.com/?string=1
should all redirect to:
www.new.com/
I'm looking for a .htaccess solution.
You can use RedirectMatch in the old.com vhost
RedirectMatch permanent .* http://www.new.com/
Redirect appends the trailing portion of the matched URI to the redirection URI but with RedirectMatch it's up to you to choose the parts (if any) that you want to transfer using parentheses and $number references.
If the old and new domains must be aliases for the same document root on disk then you'll probably have to use mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/ [L,R=301]
This has already been answered, but here's the code altogether containing helpful comments so people have a reference to look back on later should they forget what it does.
Put this in your .htaccess file:
## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/? [L,R=301]
You can also redirect to a sub directory on another domain, as was the case that I needed to do like this:
## Each and every page on old domain redirects to single page
## By appending question mark to new domain, query strings are removed
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule .* http://www.new.com/sub-directory/? [L,R=301]
This will handle all your redirects including query strings. Excuse the formatting, I'm on a phone :)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .+
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new.com$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R=301,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} old\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.new.com$1 [L,R=301,QSA]
I've got an Apache config that features multiple rewrite rules and redirects in order to get the cutest URLs, prevent duplicates for SEO, etc. Here's a snippet as an example (it features a lot more):
# Redirecting non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Removing index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} index\.php$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* / [R=301,L]
# A big bunch of these
Redirect permanent /old-article.html http://www.example.com/new-article.html
Redirect permanent /another-old-article.html http://www.example.com/new-article2.html
This works well, but it happens to generate a lot of redirects. A common case looks like this:
http://example.com/index.php, 301 redirect to http://www.example.com/index.php
http://www.example.com/index.php, 301 redirect to http://www.example.com
It sometimes reaches 4-5 redirects.
Now, I want all these rules to be chained and generate only one 301 redirect, like this:
http://example.com/index.php, 301 redirect to http://www.example.com
I know I can spend an afternoon thinking and sorting the rules to a better match, and also that I can create combined rules. But that would complicate an already long file. I want a flag, operand or whatever that will execute all the rules as if they where internal and only issue the redirect once it has crawled every rule. Is this even possible?
It seems as if simply re-ordering this would get you what you want:
# A big bunch of these
Redirect permanent /old-article.html http://www.example.com/new-article.html
Redirect permanent /another-old-article.html http://www.example.com/new-article2.html
# Removing index.php
RewriteRule ^/index.php http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
# Redirecting non-www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
A direct request for an old article at the example.com domain:
http://example.com/old-article.html
Will result in a single redirect to:
http://www.example.com/new-article.html
A request for either http://example.com/index.php or http://www.example.com/index.php will result in a single redirect to:
http://www.example.com/
A request that doesn't match anything else will result in a single redirect from:
http://example.com/foo
To:
http://www.example.com/foo
This seems to cover all the bases. Have I missed anything?
Remove the [L] flag from your RewriteRules, and they will be combined automatically.
Im trying to request the following entire site 301 redirect:
word.something.blah.domain.com --> http://www.word.com
I don't know how to write the 301 redirect rule.
Can someone help out?
I will assume you are using the same directory to serve files on both domains. In which case, a Redirect clause won't work (infinite redirect loop).
With mod_rewrite, you can check the value of the current HTTP_HOST and take a decision based on that:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)\.something\.blah\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1.com/$1 [R=301,NE,L]
put this into root directory of the subdomain:
Redirect permanent / http://www.word.com
If you are keeping everything else the same - that is, the file names - but simply changing the domain, this code is all you need to put on the OLD DOMAIN htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.newdomain\.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
