My software supports multiple domains pointed at the exact same directory, I use shared hosting. I need to have each domain's favicon load from directories with their respective host names. Here is a visual...
http://www.example1.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example1.com/favicon.ico
\
http://www.example2.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example2.com/favicon.ico
\
http://www.example3.com/favicon.ico
public_html/www.example3.com/favicon.ico
I've tried some rewrites along the lines like this without any success...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^favicon\.ico$ %{HTTP_HOST}/favicon\.ico
Things to keep in mind...
1.) I use shared hosting so remember that the answer I need should be short and simple.
2.) I will only accept a DYNAMIC answer, I will only use the %{HTTP_HOST} variable and NOT a static domain name as I will not be manually editing my .htaccess file every single time I add a domain name.
3.) I may end up putting a .htaccess file in those sub-directories though I do not at the moment, an exception for the favicon would be greatly appreciated though is not necessary for me to accept the answer.
4.) I'll be more than happy to make any clarifications.
Use this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(favicon\.ico)$ %{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
I have been struggling with this issue too but I finally fixed it using the following rule:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/favicon\.ico$ /sites/all/themes/mytheme/favicon.ico
</IfModule>
I stuffed this into a virtual host declaration. You can do this for each of your virtual hosts, all you need to do is point the second part to the correct icon!
This solves all of my favicon problems, even for Firefox :)
(Tested on FF25, Safari 6.1, IE8 and IE10)
This one worked better in my case
RewriteCond $0 !=images/favicon.ico
RewriteRule ^([^/]+/)*favicon\.ico$ /images/favicon.ico [L,NC]
To support all possible browsers and platforms, in addition to favicon.ico file, need to have files such as android-chrome-192x192.png, apple-touch-icon.png, favicon-32x32.png, etc...
Here is rewrite rule to support them all:
RewriteRule ^(favicon.*\.(ico|png)|apple-touch-icon.*\.png|android-chrome.*\.png|mstile.*\.png|safari-pinned-tab.*\.svg)$ /favicons/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
This will serve favicons including Apple Touch, Android Chrome, Windows and other favicons from /favicons/<DOMAIN_NAME> folder.
I had a problem with favicon in files on subdomain
I was struggling with redirect for favicon in htaccess for only one subdomain for a long time.
My case was that all domain take favicon from public/ directory. One subdomain (let's call it 'subdomain_a') is configured to take it from another directory and it works.
Problem appeared when a file was opened on subdomain_a. The favicon in file view (f.e. pdf-viewer) was taken from public/ directory, not from configuration of subdomain_a.
Here is my solution:
# Redirect for favicon
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.subdomain_a.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/favicon.ico$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/favicon/for/new/domain/$1 [R=301,L]

I'm looking for a way to rewrite all my image requests from one folder into some.php file, while preserving the original image url (or partial path).
So,
example.com/folder/img/test.jpg
would be rewrited as something like
example.com/folder/some.php?img=img/test.jpg
(is this the best approach?)
I'm not familiarized enought witrh regular expressions, so I'll be very thankfull :)
note : I've tried some solutions before, none of them worked. ALso, I'm running Apache 2.0 under CentOS environment.
Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(folder)/(img/[^.]+\.jpg)$ $1/some.php?img=$2 [L,QSA,NC]
Make sure:
.htaccess is enabled
mod_rewrite is enabled
Your URL is http://example.com/folder/img/test.jpg
It sounds like you you want the filename of the image in the url to be included in the new php url, not the entire url. So something like:
RewriteRule ^folder/img/(.*[.]jpg)$ /folder/some.php?filename=$1
Considering what you mention in the comments and that the previous rules didn't work, I edited the message, this is what i have now.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)\.jpg [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/img/([\w]*\.jpg)$ folder/some.php?img=img/$1[R=301,L]
If folder is al variable, you can change that for (\w*) and add the reference in the right side of the rule.
Hope this helps.
Bye
On shared web-hosting my software supports multiple domains (all domains point to the same public_html root directory). Each domain has it's own gallery (in the gallery directory). Since multiple domains can not have their own resources (e.g. images) in the same directory for all sites I have root directories that match each HTTP host name. Here is what the directory structure looks like...
/public_html/
/public_html/.htaccess
/public_html/gallery/
/public_html/www.example1.com/gallery/topic_x/image.png
/public_html/www.example2.com/gallery/topic_y/image.jpg
/public_html/www.example3.com/gallery/topic_z/image.gif
A request to...
http://www.example1.com/gallery/topic_x/image.png
...needs to be rewritten to...
/public_html/www.example1.com/gallery/topic_x/image.png
This needs to be done using the .htaccess file as is noted above, there are no .htaccess files in the HTTP Host matching directories (/public_html/www.example1.com/.htaccess does not exist).
I have been trying with numerous modifications of the following...
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteRule ^(gallery)(/.+\.(gif|jpg|png))$ %{HTTP_HOST}$1$2 [L,NC]
...without success.
This one works for me:
RewriteRule ^(gallery/.+\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png))$ /%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
If you want -- you can add extra check to rewrite only if such final image is present (although I have not tested this):
RewriteCond {%DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(gallery/.+\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png))$ /%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,NC]
But even your pattern should work (at least it passes the test) -- maybe .htaccess is not enabled .. or you forgot to activate rewrite engine (RewriteEngine On)?
I would also recommend adding this line before (or after) activating engine:
Options +FollowSymLinks
or
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Some shared hosting may only work with 2nd, for some 1st is enough.
We have two domains, let's call them first.com and second.com
We have a directory in second.com called reports, where all our PDFs are located, but we would like to these same PDFs accessible from first.com as well.
Can we redirect let's say first.com/reports/84839049.pdf to second.com/reports/84839049.pdf using htaccess?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain1.com/$1 [R=301, L]
Yes.
redirect /requested/url http://second.com/result/url
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect
You may want to consider using mod_rewrite though, unless you asked for an .htaccess configuration specifically because you have no access to the server configuration and mod_rewrite is disabled or not loaded.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
http://webdesign.about.com/od/mod_rewrite/qt/site_redirects.htm
You'll need some grasp of regex for mod_rewrite, but it can make configuration of the redirects a lot faster than having to add a redirect for every file on your site(s).
I've never had a problem with cakePHP before, but something's odd about this server and is causing the redirects in the .htaccess files to behave oddly.
CakePHP uses mod_rewrite in .htaccess files to redirect requests to its own webroot folder. The problem is that the redirects are listing the wrong path and causing a 404 error. My CakePHP application, which is stored in the listings directory, has a .htaccess file as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ app/webroot/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule (.*) app/webroot/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
(*note that the R=301 causes an external redirect so we can see what is going on from our end. It should really omit this flag and do the redirect internally, transparent to end-users)
This is supposed to redirect any request from http://hostname.com/~username/listings/ to http://hostname.com/~username/listings/app/webroot/
However, rather than simply adding “app/webroot/” to the end as it is supposed to, it is adding the full server path ( /home/username/public_html/listings/app/webroot/ ) resulting in the final URL http://hostname.com/home/username/public_html/listings/app/webroot/ which is obviously incorrect and triggers a 404 error.
The hosting is on a shared hosting account, so that limits what I can do with the settings. I've never seen this happen before, and I'm thinking it's something wrong from the hosting side of things, but if anyone has some helpful suggestions then I can put them to the hosting company as well.
The solution to your question can be found towards the bottom of this page in the cakephp book:
For many hosting services (GoDaddy, 1and1), your web server is actually being served from a user directory that already uses mod_rewrite. If you are installing CakePHP into a user directory (http://example.com/~username/cakephp/), or any other URL structure that already utilizes mod_rewrite, you'll need to add RewriteBase statements to the .htaccess files CakePHP uses (/.htaccess, /app/.htaccess, /app/webroot/.htaccess).
I've deployed CakePHP from my profile's public_html folder as well. I had to change 3 the same .htaccess files mentioned above. Just add RewriteBase /~username/ to the .htaccess files just after RewriteEngine on!
Try removing .htaccess from main file... It worked for me
It was quite simple (using uolhost shared host):
Edit both .htaccess files:
/webroot/.htaccess
/.htaccess
Add the following line:
RewriteBase /
Here is the whole /webroot/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
I think this is a pretty simple question.
How do you an apache rewrite to hide a folder.
EX: www.website.com/pages/login.php to www.website.com/login.php
or www.website.com/pages/home.php to www.website.com/home.php
The folder needs to alway be hidden. thanks
I assume what you want is for the browser to request /home.php but the server to actually use the file located at /pages/home.php, right? If so, this should work:
Make sure the apache mod_rewrite module is installed. Then, use something like this in your apache config, virtual host config, or (less desirable) .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /pages/$1
The rules use regular expressions, so you may want to look at a reference on that topic if you're unsure. Read the manual for more info on other directives (RewriteCond can be very useful) or rule options.
I know the original post here was from a couple years ago, but it's been coming up first in the search engine, so maybe this will help others looking to hide a folder name in the URL.
Not exactly what original poster wanted, but along the same lines.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomainname\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.mydomainname\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfoldername/
RewriteRule (.*) /subfoldername/$1
The above example would redirect any request to mydomainname.com or www.mydomainname.com to the subfoldername directory in the root directory for the domain, and the subfolder name would not appear in the URL.
If your example actually reflects the files you need, then in your .htaccess file:
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/pages/(.+)\.php $1\.php [NC, L]
Also, if the directory has read permission, it cannot be, in reality "hidden". I assume you mean that it no longer appears in the url.
