Ho can i redirect all requests for pattern host.com/* to otherhost.com/*
For example all request for host.com/page1 need to be rewritten to otherhost.com/page1
The difficult part is that requests to host.com itself (home page) shouls not be rewritten.
This is what i tried to do
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://otherhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But keeps rewriting all request including the homepage
Any help greatly appreciated
You should add some conditions :
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://otherhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]
You can use the following rewrite:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =host.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/
RewriteRule . http://otherhost.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =host.com checks whether the host is host.com.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/ checks whether the requested page is not the "index". (If this is what you mean by "requests to host.com itself (home page) shouls not be rewritten")
R=301 states it should send a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently header when redirecting.
NE states it should not escape special characters. (e.g. ? escaped to %3f)
This is important! If you don't specify this, many URLs will be wrong. (e.g. /blah.php?id=1 will be redirected to /blah.php%3fid%3d1, which is wrong.)
Try this one:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(/index.html)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://otherhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I need to redirect few URIs having query string like:
/pages/foo.bar?pageId=123456 to http://some.site/spam/egg/
/pages/foo.bar?pageId=45678 to http://another.site/spaming/egging/
I have this in my htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=123456$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://some.site/spam/egg/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=45678$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://another.site/spaming/egging/ [R=301,L]
But its not working, showing 404. What am i doing wrong?
You need to move these 2 rules i.e. before all other rules just below RewriteEngine On line as other rules might be overriding this.
(Based on your comments) Your culprit rule is this rule:
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
Which is actually rewriting every request to index.php and changing value of REQUEST_URI variable to /index.php thus causing this condition to fail:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
From your example, you get redirected to
http://some.site/spam/egg/?pageId=123456
http://another.site/spaming/egging/?pageId=45678
You can use your browser developer tools to see the redirection (in the Network tab).
Maybe the query strings in the redirected URL lead to a 404? You can add a ? at the end of your redirection to clear the query string:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/pages/foo.bar$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pageId=45678$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://another.site/spaming/egging/? [R=301,L]
I want my .htaccess file to redirect to some page if any wildcard as a subdomain entry hit the browser. i.e. I want
sam.xyz.com
To redirect to
sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
I am using following rewrite rules for redirect.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Problem i am facing is that it does not shift to new domain keeping query string instead it generates an endless loop
sam.xyz.com
redirects to
http://sam.xyz.com/view.php?id=sam
But doesnt move to url above without endless loop.
Kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance,
you should add a condition for redirect to prevent redirection loop:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
the whole code would be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/view\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
You are redirecting to: prefix.domain.tld/view.php?id=prefix
Ensure that the url does not contain: id=prefix.
This solution prevents, that someone call's the url: aaa.example.com/view.php?id=bbb
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.xyz.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+).xyz.com
RewriteCond %1::%{QUERY_STRING} !^([^:]+)::.*id=\1
RewriteRule ^ /view.php?id=%1 [L,R]
Note: (.*) in the rewrite rule is obsolete.
Leave the R away to do not redirect the visitor to the url (/view.php?id=%1)
I have setup my .htaccess to redirect requests from http ://subdomain.domain.com.tld, http ://www.subdomain.domain.com.tld and http ://domain.com.tld/folder (folder that contains contents of subdomain) to https ://subdomain.domain.com.tld so my single domain SSL certificate setup for subdomain.domain.com.tld is used at all times.
My problem is http ://domain.com.tld also redirects to https ://subdomain.domain.com.tld. How do I stop this?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^subdomain.domain\.com.tld
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://subdomain.domain.com.tld/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
RewriteRule ^folder$ "https\:\/\/subdomain\.domain\.com\.tld\/" [R=301,L]
Thank you.
These rules should replace everything after RewriteEngine on:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?subdomain\.domain\.com\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://subdomain.domain.com.tld$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/?(.*)$ https://subdomain.domain.com.tld$1 [R=301,L]
The first set of rules matches http://subdomain.domain.com.tld and http://www.subdomain.domain.com.tld
The second set matches http://domain.com.tld/folder, but does not match http://domain.com.tld without the "folder" part.
Edit: Corrected typo as noted in comments and escaped dots in RewriteConds.
I have a URL
http://test.devsite-1.com/test/tbox/
which I want to redirect to
http://tbox.devsite-1.com/
Rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^tbox\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.|)(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tbox(/.*|)$
RewriteRule /tbox/(.*) http://tbox.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
I don't understand why it is not redirecting me to the URL? Please note I need a generalized rule so that if I change test.devsite-1.com to tempo.devsite-1.com the same should work with the other URL as well.
Try this rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^test/tbox/(.*)$ http://tbox.%1/$1 [R=301,L]
This will redirect (301 Permanent Redirect)
http://test.devsite-1.com/test/tbox/something-optional
to
http://tbox.devsite-1.com/something-optional
It has to be placed in .htaccess file in website root folder (e.g. http://test.devsite-1.com/.htaccess). If placed elsewhere some tweaking may be required.
It will only work if request is coming via test. subdomain.
And it will only work if URL requested starts with test/tbox/.
All of the above matches your URL examples.
I have a site of mine that has its own homepage and a blog under domain.com/blog/. What is the proper way of me sending the domain.com/blog/ requests to domain.com/ while sending a 301 to the browser so that search engines know that the URL has moved?
This is what I have, but not working at all.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^domain.com/blog/ [nc]
RewriteRule ^/blog/$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
I have replaced the domain.com to my actual domain.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think you need $1 in RewriteRule since you want to redirect users coming from domain.com/blog to domain.com. Besides, your $1 doesn't substitute anything because you don't use any parentheses in your regex.
EDIT:
This should work for you.
