I want to map "localhost/" to "localhost/abc/def/" in apache. How should I edit .htaccess to achieve this?
If you want to redirect just this one URL, use this simple RewriteRule
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ /abc/def/ [R,L]
If you want to move the whole site instead, you can use Redirect
Redirect / /abc/def/

I have issues redirecting a specific url within the same domain
Example, I want to redirect
http://example.tld/folder/*
to
http://example.tld/*
where * is a wildcard
Basically you will need this type of code in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/folder/ http://domain.tld/? [R=301,L]
This should redirect your current url http://domain.tld/folder to http:/domain.tld/
Or:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Please try and see which one works best for you
Having a problem with redirect in a .htaccess file on an Opencart store.
It seems that any URL with /index.php?_route_= isn't getting redirected.
For example, this works:
redirect /old-url-here http://example.com/new-url?
This doesn't:
redirect /index.php?_route_=some-url.asp http://example.com
Any idea or suggestions as to what might get this to work?
You can't match against the query string using mod_alias' Redirect directive. You'll need to use mod_rewrite, and if you use mod_rewrite, you're probably going to want to stop using mod_alias altogether.
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} route=some-url\.asp
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/
Another thing is - apart from Jon's answer - that URLs like index.php?_route_=some-keyword are used/created only internally and only in case you have the SEO turned on. In this case, you click on a link with URL like http://yourstore.com/some-keyword and this URL is rewritten into index.php?_route_=some-keyword.
Therefore you shouldn't be creating URLs like that on your own nor try to redirect from them. If you need to redirect, catch the first SEO URL to redirect it.
We do not know where did you put your changes into the .htaccess file, but if you take a close look at this rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
not only you'll find out it is the last rule there, but it also has this L switch which is telling Apache server that if this rule is matched, do a URL rewrite(, attach the query string [QSA] and) stop matching other rules [L] - this is the Last one.
If you need to redirect only a specific URL, do it the same way as redirect for sitemap.xml is done (for example) and place it before the last rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
# ...
# your new rule here - while the URL in the link is http://yourstore.com/some-url.asp
RewriteRule ^some-url.aspx$ index.php?route=some-folder/some-controller [L]
# ...
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
Via .htaccess, how do you redirect this
http://www.somedomain.com/de/foo
to this:
http://www.de-domain.com/foo
The redirection should depend on the second parameter, in the example above "de".
Depending on the server configuration you should be able to do this on the .htaccess for somedomain.com. If this works appropriately you might try [R=301,L] to make the redirection permanent:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?somedomain.com$
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2})/(.*) http://www.$1-domain.com/$2 [R,L]
So anytime someone visits this page:
http://www.site.com/page/image_(.*).png
They get redirected to the cdn url, which would be
http://cdn.site.com/page/image_(.*).png
How can I do that using htaccess? I only need this for that url.
Using mod_alias, if you have access to vhost config, in your main vhost (for www) add:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/page/image_(.*)\.png http://cdn.site.com/page/image_$1.png
If you don't have access and have to use an .htaccess file, you need mod_rewrite:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?site.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^page/image_(.*).png http://cdn.site.com/page/image_$1.png [R=301,L]
I am trying to configure my Apache 2.2 version to use a 301 permanent redirect when someone types my url without the www. I want to configure this in the httpd.conf and not using .htaccess if possible. I have tried using Redirect permanent but the first variable has to be a directory and not a url. Any ideas how to configure boom.com requests to be redirected to www.boom.com using a 301 redirect in Apache? Thanks
Add the following:
# Canonical hostnames
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.boom\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=""
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.boom.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This will redirect all request which don't match www.boom.com to www.boom.com, with the same query path. (For example, boom.com/foo?foo=bar will be redirect to www.boom.com/foo?foo=bar).
If you have named virtual hosts you could put the extra RewriteCond entries #tux21b gave inside to isolate them. Also if you have mod_alias you could try this which should do the same thing:
<VirtualHost boom.com:80>
RedirectMatch permanent /.* http://www.boom.com$0
</VirtualHost>
I'm sure someone will comment if there's a reason to use one over the other.
