When I setup a password protected directory in cpanel for my website, if I use www.example.com/protected it correctly prompts for a username and password but if I use example.com/protected it lets me access the proctected area.
The main site .htaccess is:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*\.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule . /public/404.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this please?
Many Thanks
Jim
You need to tell this to apache by prepending the following rule before your rules to redirect a url without www to a one with www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301]
There would be no difference between www and non-www. Your issue is probably browser cache, or you logged into the non-www version and forgot.

I could do with some assistance trying to clean up an .htaccess file that has been running on one of our servers at work.
It is currently set up so that if someone types example.com it will redirect to www.example.com. The problem is that we want to utilise subdomains but when we try to add a subdomain, like beta.example.com it will redirect to www.beta.example.com
Here is the .htaccess file
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
I have tried multiple variations from questions here on SO and via Google and htaccess generators and none of them seem to help as they usually put the site in a redirect loop.
Any help on getting the configuration correct would be appreciated.

To automatically add a www to your domain name when there isn't a subdomain, add this to the htaccess file in your document root::RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^.]+\.[^.]+$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
I'm missing something simple I'm sure, some insight would be very helpful. I am working on setting up web site on a vps using cpanel. I'm trying to get it to always redirect to https instead having both available, I can do this without cpanel, but seem to be stumped when cpanel gets involved. I saw this, but it was zero help
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9770/38/how-to-force-https-using-htaccess-file-in-cpanel
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Try writing your RewriteRule like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L,NE]
Make sure you clear your cache before you test this. I've set the flag to R, but if you're happy with the redirection then change it to R=301 as that will make it a permanent redirect.
You can always use a different .htaccess rule to redirect to HTTPS. I would re-write your .htaccess to the following (hardcoding your domain):
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I want to be able to redirect all subdomains to a folder:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.+)$ "http://example.com/subdomains/%1" [L,P]
for example, if some visits sub1.example.com it will keep the URL but show example.com/subdomains/sub1 and if the sub1 directory does not exist, it will show example.com/404
Is this possible?
I tried the above code but its showing me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.
Wordpress says:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
and at the top of my htaccess file, is:
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} admin.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /admin/system/$1 [L]
Your above .htaccess would externally redirect the calls, as you use a full URL as the target.
In your question you say you want to keep the hostname, so I will assume that is the requirement.
0) Enable rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
1) Rewriting known subdomains to their directory in /subdomains
# Rewrite known subdomains to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /subdomains/%1/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have not rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
then rewrite it to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
So, if the request was
http://foo.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/foo/
2) Rewriting unknown subdomains to /404
# Rewrite missing unknown subdomains to /404/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /404/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have already rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
and it is not existing as a file
and it is not existing as a directory
and it is not existing as a symlink
then rewrite it to /404
So, if the request was
http://bar.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/bar/
by the first RewriteRule from 1).
If /subdomains/bar/ does not exist, the second RewriteRule from 2) will kick in and internally map it to
/404/
3) Test-Environment
I actually tested all of this with exemplary code, available here: https://github.com/janpapenbrock/stackoverflow-36497197
I'd say you are experiencing a permission issue. I guess your Apache server runs as apache user. Use chmod to give apache access to this path.
I have 3 domains and one hosting. I am trying to use the same hosting for all of my three domains through htaccess. So, I created a subdomains with that name on my domain linked with hosting, which looks something like below.
www.site1.com [Main domain linked with hosting]
site2.site1.com [subdomain for www.site2.com]
site3.site1.com [subdomain for www.site3.com]
What I want to achieve is, user shouldn't go to subdomain site2.site1.com, instead they would be able to go to www.site2.com only and request will be sent to site2.site1.com at backend.
Up to here, all is done and worked well. The only problem comes afterwards, when I adds SSL on site. I have SSL for all of these domain and subdomain. If a user visit non-ssl, then he should be redirected to SSL one. Some of SSL works well but when I add SSL for all of them, then I start getting 500 error.
Here is my .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site2.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://site2.site1.com/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site2.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://site2.site1.com/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site3.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://site3.site1.com/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site3.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) https://site3.site1.com/$1 [P]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
As I add https on redirection link, so it start giving me 500 error whereas when I make redirection to http then it will not load my page because non-secured site http://site2.site1.com will be loaded over secured https://www.site2.com and in a result, nothing will be shown.
Here I need help to resolve this problem. I have looked over different questions but haven't found any question relevant to me because I need to keep my .htaccess working with redirection and SSL. Moreover, I also need to redirect to www one, if not added in URL.
Any help will be appreciated.
Like, all the times I experienced here I have resolved my problem myself. The resolution to my problem was the following htaccess
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site2.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) site2/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site2.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) site2/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site3.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) site3/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site3.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) site3/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
In this way instead of pointing the URL to subdomain having https I have reference that to the directory instead because path will be same for that, and now when I enter the URL with https page opens and don't give any error.
I am trying to migrate a website from one host to another. The current host has very old versions of PHP, Apache and MySQL. I have installed the same versions of all on a test Win XP VM. The website's htaccess looks like the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.test.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^(sales) index.php?main_page=page&id=2
RewriteRule ^(support) index.php?main_page=page&id=3
RewriteRule ^(about_me) index.php?main_page=page&id=4
RewriteRule ^(help) index.php?main_page=page&id=5
RewriteRule ^(site_map) index.php?main_page=site_map
Could anyone tell me what options I would need to enable in httpd.conf to get this to redirect correctly? At the moment, the main page shows, but any link clicked from the menu bar on the home page, shows an error. For example, The requested URL /sales was not found on this server.
edit .htacces file like this
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I think you're just missing forward slashes and a $
RewriteRule ^(sales) index.php?main_page=page&id=2
should be
RewriteRule ^(/sales)$ /index.php?main_page=page&id=2
