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 would like to rewrite my URL only when typing this:
www.domain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/
in that path there is a index.html file that will be automatically loaded. And I'd like it to become this:
www.domain.com/index.html
It is important that the root www.domain.com does not redirect to that subdirs because it already redirects to another .php file.
I wrote the following .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^dir1/dir2/dir3/(.*)$ dir1/dir2/dir3/$1 [L]
but it redirects even when typing the root domain.com.
Could you help me with that?
Edit:
I have tried in another browser and the real problem is that when typing domain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3 or domain.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/index.html the dir1/dir2/dir3/ is still shown and is not hidden.
Edit 2:
my complete .htaccess:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56s .php
ErrorDocument 404 /404/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /404/404.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
Options -Indexes
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/404/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404/404.html [R=404,NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/500/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /404/404.html [R=500,NC,L]
Thanks
Replace your current code with this:
DirectorySlash On
RewriteEngine On
# skip all known resources from rewrite rules below
RewriteRule \.(?:jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|ico|tiff|css|js)$ - [L,NC]
# external redirect from actual URL to pretty one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+dir1/dir2/dir3/(\S*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L,NE]
# internal forward from pretty URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^(?!dir1/dir2/dir3/)(.*)$ dir1/dir2/dir3/$1 [L,NC]
I was trying to rewrite a URL for making my site SEO friendly, but .htaccess rewrite not seems to work.
My URL is
www.tasteofkochi.com/dine-detail.php?a=150
I need this to look like
www.tasteofkochi.com/sometext/150
I did the simple formula but it's not reflecting, intact nothing happens at all. If I add some junk char in htaccess, site crashes, which means htaccess is working fine. Also I added a formula to remove .php extn, and that too works fine. Only issue is with this one. Can anyone please help me. I enable rewrite in httpd and allow all in directories, still not working.
Below is my .htacces
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteBase /
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
## To internally redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
RewriteRule ^detail/([0-9]+)/?$ dine-detail.php?a=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?p=$1 [L,QSA]
We can create pretty urls with .htaccess and php by mainly two files one is .htaccess and another index.php
Example
I want to edit the URL of a page (only one page called meto.php) to a custom URL.
It is important that the meto.php file located in sub-directory /pob/
i want to change this www.domain/pob/meto.php to www.domain/pob/define.php
When visitor type this address www.domain/pob/meto.php address bar show this address: www.domain/pob/define.php
Please note define.php file does not exist.
I tried this code in .htaccess file at /pob/ (not root directory):
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/pob/$1 [r=301,nc]
Redirect 301 meto.php define.php
//also
Redirect 301 /meto.php http://www.domain.com/pob/define.php
//
RewriteRule ^meto.php define.php
Unfortunately all of the above tries fails.
Server info:
Apache Version 2.2
PHP: 5.5
You can not rewrite your files using Redirect Directiv of mod_alias , it is used for external redirection.
Try mod_rewrite
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/pob/$1 [R=301,L]
#1) redirect "/pob/meto.php to "/pob/define.php"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /meto.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /define.php [NC,L,R]
#2) rewrite "pob/define.php" to "/pob/meto.php"
RewriteRule ^define\.php$ /pob/meto.php [NC,L]
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/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have set up url redirect on my host--but its not working.
my htaccess looks like this now
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
rewriterule ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L] #4d3a8d4534e567
what i want is any request to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info to be redirected to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/
but any request to a path file or directory off the root not to be redirected
this so people can still access the old site via /home.html or index.html etc.. and still be able to navigate outside the wordpress folder
Try this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?bangkoksoftball\.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /wordpress/ [R,L,NE]
Remember there is NO presence of http/https in %{HTTP_HOST} or %{REQUEST_URI} variables. Also . needs to be escaped in domain match. NE flag is for not escaping the query parameters.
The rewriterule line does not look at the domain, you must specify the domain the rule applies to in the RewriteCond line. In the rewriterule line, you specify first the paths that should trigger the rule, and the path the user should be sent to instead.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This will send only requests to www.bangkoksoftball.info/ to the wordpress folder. If you want to also redirect www.bangkoksoftball.info/index.php to the wordpress folder, you would need to add an additional set of directives:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This should work for you as it worked here:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?bangkoksoftball.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/$1 [R=301,L]
