I have a domain name www.domainA.com I want to redirect it to domainB in following manner.
www.domainA.com -> www.domainB.com
www.domainA.com/anything -> www.domainB.com/rebrand
How I can do this in htaccess, I have done following code but it redirecting to /rebrand/ only.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/
RewriteRule ^\/$ http://www.domainB.com/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domainB.com/rebrand/ [L,R=301]
URIs that go through rules in an htaccess file has the leading slash stripped off, so you can't match against it. For the second rule, it's matching the / request because the first rule isn't being applied and your regex matches anything or nothing, you can fix that by changing the * to +:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.domainB.com/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainA\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.domainB.com/rebrand/ [L,R=301]
Redirecting through htaccess is tricky sometimes, there are many ways of implementing this but there is one simple way which worked for me

I have several web sites and using the same mod_rewrite. I like to add two additional conditions to it and based on many of solutions that I have found on here and none seem to be working.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
I have my sites working with the following solution.
domain.com forwards to www.domain.com
I like to add the following two conditions to my conditions above.
Remove trailing slashes. If I have www.domain.com/ it does remove
that trailing slash, unfortunately, for some reason if there are
multiple slashes at the end it doesn't www.domain.com//
Removing index.html from www.domain.com/index.html
Making this dynamic is what may be through this off. If I use the suggestion on domain itself, I have not problems. It is once I add http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} where everything goes wonky.
i use this rewrite for redirecting domain.com to www.domain.com. No problems with //
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com$1 [R,L]
#this could work for you (untested)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.\$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R,L]
#redirect /index.html to /
RewriteRule ^/index.html / [R=301,L]
I've never did rewrite rules and everything I try out and find at google doesn't work. Especially creating multiple rewrite rules is hard for me because I don't know how the right syntax is and how a proper implementation looks like (1 Rewrite Condition or multiple and similar questions).
Thus I would be happy to get a result for my following try:
https://www.domain.com/our_accounts.php -> https://www.domain.com/accounts
The http -> https rule is already working. Maybe there is also the problem with my rewrite rules because I may need to add them before my https rules ?? I hope you guys can help me with this.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
# First rewrite to HTTPS:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Now, rewrite any request to the wrong domain to use www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Rules for readable URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^accounts$ /our_accounts.php [L]
</IfModule>
Try your htacess file this way. I also condensed the HTTP and www to one rewrite rule. Just replace yoursite.com with your real site.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# First rewrite to HTTPS and redirect www:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^our_accounts.php$ /accounts [R=301,L]
# Rules for readable URLs
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
I have an htaccess wildcard redirect on a website, it redirect another domain to a main one and also redirects www to none www with wildcard for the main domain. The following rules are made with cpanel, however it does not use the wildcard.
These same rules work fine on many other sites just not the one in question.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain1\.ca$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain2\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain2\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domain1\.ca\/$1" [R=301,L]
Any ideas? I am out of ideas for what could be causing this.
To add more clarification:
if i go to www.domain1.ca/some-page it should redirect to domain1.ca/some-page
However instead it goes to domain1.ca.
Tested in every browser, remade the rules, removed all cache and did multiple dns flush's, nothing has changed this.
You can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain2\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://domain1.ca%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
I have a bunch of domains that I want to go to one domain but various parts of that domain.
# this is what I currently have
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*\.?foo\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:www.foo.com} [L,R=301]
# rewrite map file
www.foo.com www.domain.com/domain/foo.com.php
www.bar.com www.domain.com/domain/bar.com.php
www.baz.com www.domain.com/other/baz.php.foo
The problem is that I don't want to have to have each domain be part of the RewriteCond. I tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)
RewriteRule (.*) http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
but that will do it for EVERY domain. I only want the domains that are in the mappings file to redirect, and then continue on to other rewrites if it doesn't match any domains in the mappings file.
I'm close as I figured out the the case matching, but unable to figure out the www prefix. If I use the first one below, it works without www. If I use the second one, it works with the www. If I use BOTH - neither work.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)$ [NC] # works for without www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC] # works with www
RewriteCond ${domainmappings:%1|NOTFOUND} ^(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !^NOTFOUND$
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:%1} [L,R=301]
Any ideas?
You are on the right track. What you have to do is use the pipe operator on the map so that you have a catch-all.
RewriteCond ${domainmappings:%{HTTP_HOST}|NOTFOUND} ^(.+)$
RewriteCond %1 !^NOTFOUND$
RewriteRule ^.*$ ${domainmappings:%1} [L,R=301]
The second condition will not match if the host is not in the list. You still have to deal with the www prefix, and the case matching, but you get the idea.
I applied the following mod_rewrite rule in Apache2 to redirect from non-www to www:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
However, there's a double slash issue:
When I go to http://www.example.com it
correctly rewrites the URL to
http://www.example.com/
When I go to
http://www.example.com/somepage, it correctly
rewrites the URL to
http://www.example.com/somepage
If I
go to http://example.com, it
rewrites the URL to
http://www.example.com// (double final slash)
If I go to
http://example.com/somepage, it
correctly rewrites it to
http://www.example.com/somepage
Is my configuration good for SEO?
Fixed with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com$1 [R=301,L]
because $1 by default contains the index path /
RewriteRule ^\/?(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Actually, you will always have double slashes due to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
combined with the fact that REQUEST_URI (that you are matching on) normally contains a starting slash. What you can try is RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com$1, and then send a broken HTTP request GET foo HTTP/1.0 and see if Apache deals with it properly.
Putting a slash into your pattern should resolve this issue:
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
That is because the root path is /, and you are appending whatever you get in RewriteRule (the first case works fine because it doesn't match the condition so no rewrite is performed).
You can try something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
# for the home page
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]
# for the rest of pages
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
