I am working on a Drupal site that has hard coded links in lots of the content (I didn't create the site). Unfortunately that means the site has to be in a subdirectory such as "www.example.com/drupal" or the links will break. I have sucessfully redirected the site root to the subdirectory and hid it using the following code in the site root htaccess file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) drupal/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
However if I go to www.example.com/drupal the subdirectory still shows up.This means that www.example.com and www.example.com/drupal have the same content which is bad for SEO. Is there some way to make /drupal redirect to root without causing a loop? I have tried just about every posted in other threads and none of them work.
You need to do the redirect before rewriting the URL. You also need to check that you're actually rewriting to a legitimate resource.
swap the rules around, the redirect should happen first
Add a check to the drupal rule
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/drupal
RewriteRule (.*) drupal/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I was trying to rewrite a URL for making my site SEO friendly, but .htaccess rewrite not seems to work.
My URL is
www.tasteofkochi.com/dine-detail.php?a=150
I need this to look like
www.tasteofkochi.com/sometext/150
I did the simple formula but it's not reflecting, intact nothing happens at all. If I add some junk char in htaccess, site crashes, which means htaccess is working fine. Also I added a formula to remove .php extn, and that too works fine. Only issue is with this one. Can anyone please help me. I enable rewrite in httpd and allow all in directories, still not working.
Below is my .htacces
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteBase /
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
RewriteRule ^detail/([0-9]+)/?$ dine-detail.php?a=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
We can create pretty urls with .htaccess and php by mainly two files one is .htaccess and another index.php
Example
I see there have been many questions in this vein all over the web, but none I can find to resolve my specific .htaccess woes at the moment! In my .htaccess file I have rules both to redirect a) non-www to www and b) index.html to the root. The non-www to www condition is being met and redirecting successfully. However, the index.html file is not redirecting to the root.
I have also tested with http://htaccess.madewithlove.be. The debugging logs there indicate "This variable is not supported: %{THE_REQUEST}" and subsequently, the rewrite condition for the index.html redirect is not met, but I can't surmise why or whether that variable is the real culprit here. I will also mention that this particular domain is a sub-domain/add-on domain to another domain. The .htaccess file depicted below is located in the root of the subdomain. The .htaccess file at the primary domain level is blank at present.
Here is my existing .htaccess content:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.html?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Appreciate your help!
Keep your rules like this in root .htaccess:
DirectoryIndex index.html
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L,NE]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.html$ /$1 [L,R=302,NC,NE]
Test this in a new browser.
Drop the first RewriteCond. It's not needed for your needs. The first RewriteRule alone will solve your issue.
Maybe you also want to update your first RewriteRule. In the current form it will redirect (regardless of the domain used) to http://www.example.com/. If you want to "keep" the used subdomain make the redirect relative:
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.html?$ /$1 [R=301,L]
I have a redirect situation where the site is part dynamic and part generated .html files.
For example, mysite.com/homepage and mysite.com/products/42 are actually static html files
Whereas other URLs are dynamically generated, like mysite.com/cart
Both mysite.com and www.mysite.com are pointing to the same place. However I want to redirect all of the traffic from mysite.com to www.mysite.com.
I'm so close but I'm running into an issue where Apache is adding .html to the end of my URLs for anything where a static .html file exists - which I don't want.
I want to redirect this:
http://mysite.com/products/42
To this:
http://www.mysite.com/products/42
But Apache is making it this, instead (because 42.html is an actual html file):
http://www.mysite.com/products/42.html
I don't want that - I want it to redirect to www.mysite.com/products/42
Here's what I started with:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I tried making the parameters and the .html optional, but the .html is still getting added on the redirect:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)?(\.html)?$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
What am I doing wrong? Really appreciate it :)
Here is the code you will need in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## first add www to your domain for and hide .html extension
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.html [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.mysite.com%1 [R=301,L]
## add www to your domain for other URIs without .html extension
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.mysite.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [L]
Maybe you should try looking at apache's mod_negotiation to get rid of the .html or any file extension?

I've been searching for like 3 or 4 hours without any result(before searching I played with rules for an hour but couldn't do it)
I don't know if you've noticed or no but google uses www like this
when it has no subdomain it will be www.google.com/blabla and
when there is a subdomain it will be earth.google.com/blabla
This is the first part
And the second part, as you know in symfony urls are like domain.com/index.php/test and thanks to the symfony .htaccess file you can access it via domain.com/test
So here is what I tried so hard to achieve
domain.com/test redirect to www.domain.com/test
www.sub.domain.com/blabla redirect to sub.domain.com/blabla
www.sub.domain.com/ redirect to sub.domain.com (without any index.php XD)
One of the annoying problems I had was redirecting from domain.com/ to www.domain.com was that after redirect it was like www.domain.com/index.php (And I hate index.php :P)
So is there any way with one redirect solve this problem?
I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs something like this and might be an idea for other people who are going to have their site with symfony or other frameworks
Thanks
Here is my complete htaccess file
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# The admin subdomain returns to the backend
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^admin\.mydomain\..*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ backend.php [QSA,L]
# uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
# getting no_script_name to work
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [R=301]
# we skip all files with .something
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
RewriteRule .* - [L]
# we check if the .html version is here (caching)
RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# no, so we redirect to our front web controller
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
In your VHOST config:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Also note that from a esthetical point of view you might prefer to remove the www., looking from the technical angle (DNS, cookies, ...), it is always better to prefix with www., and redirect in the opposite way.
I have noticed that search engines have been crawling both the domain.co.uk and www.domain.co.uk versions of a web site that I've recently developed.
Using .htaccess I have been able to setup http 301 redirects so that:
http://domain.co.uk is redirected to http://www.domain.co.uk
and
http://www.domain.co.uk/index.html is redirected to http://www.domain.co.uk
However:
http://domain.co.uk/index.html does not get redirected to http://www.domain.co.uk as I would expect. Instead the redirect goes to: http://www.domain.co.uk/http://www.domain.co.uk/
The contents of my .htaccess are (obviously I have replaced my domain to simplify matters):
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^domain.co.uk [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,nc]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.html$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
I know I am probably missing something obvious but please could someone help me get the final redirect to http://www.domain.co.uk working as expected?
The first part of your rule set is working fine, the missing www. is added correctly. For the second part you only need a simple rule to remove the index.html without using any additional condition:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://www.domain.co.uk/ [R=301,L]
I think this should do the trick.
