I would like to rewrite the URL of one of my pages from
http://www.mydomain.com/some/application/page.html
to
http://www.mydomain.com/apply
I believe this code will work. But in 301 redirects, you often see [R=301,L] or some version of that appended to the end of the rewrite rule - is the code below the best way to perform the redirection and will Google understand it?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /some/application/page.html?=$1 [L]
I think you want to do this:
The URL that your users see (even google):
http://www.mydomain.com/apply
to
http://www.mydomain.com/some/application/page.html
the internal(actual) URL.
then I would suggest you to go this:
RewriteEngine On
#condition to redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?apply/?$
RewriteRule ^/?apply/?$ /some/application/page.html [L]
The flag [L] ( Flag L docs ) signifies RewriteEngine to stop rewriting any rules further. This will not perform a permanent redirection.
You don't need a [R=301] flag here. 301 is for permanent redirection. Use the short URL everywhere.
To my knowledge, you will need [R=301,L]to do a redirect properly. Apache2 by default will use a 302 redirect so if it is a permanent redirect you should force R=301, as you noted. The documentation for RewriteRule is unclear if [L] alone will always perform a 301 redirect. Be safe, tell apache exactly what to do :-).

I want to redirect from one domain to a new domain. At the same time, the URL structure has changed.
Old: https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/
New: https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
This is wordpress, and I placed this code above the Wordpress stuff, as well as tested it here: https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
I tried this, which doesn't work:
Redirect 301 /parentpage/title https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
Also, when testing it at https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/, I do have this redirect:
Redirect 301 /parentpage https://www.newdomain.com/parentpage
The tester would skip my preferred redirect above, and use this one, leaving me with this, which does not exist:
https://www.newdomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle
Even when I place the preferred redirect above this one. I need both, unfortunately.
Have also tried the following RewriteRules (not all at the same time)
ReWriteRule https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
ReWriteRule /parentpage/oldtitle/ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle
ReWriteRule "https://www.olddomain.com/parentpage/oldtitle/" "https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle"
I think it has something to do with that second forward slash separating the parentpage name and page title, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
In RewriteRule it wouldn't match http or https in it, you may try following.
please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)olddomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/parentage/oldtitle/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.newdomain.com/newtitle [R=301,L]
I have got url:
ipaddress/panelname/main/index.php
How to rebuild it to
ipaddress/center/index.php
?
ofcourse we can see another pages, not only index.php, but this folders in url we can see forever.
I tryed to do this in .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^center/([^/]+)/?$ panelname/main/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1 [QSA,L,R=301,NC]
Redirect 301 ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1
but i don't see redirect from panelname to center.
but if i type center all works good (but i don't shure, that it works good by my htaccess or by symlink, which i was created in filesystem)
How to rewrite all to another links and howto see redirect from old links to my new? Thank you.
RewriteRule in directory context (which .htaccess is), does never begin with a slash, because the common prefix is stripped from the matched portion first.
Redirect does match strings, not regex'es. The variant that works on a regex is RedirectMatch. Both only work on absolute URL's (the one beginning with a slash).
You either have to do the following:
RewriteRule ^panelname(.*)$ /center$1 [R,L]
or:
RedirectMatch 302 ^/panelname(.*)$ /center$1
Change [R] to [R=301] once you have tested that EVERYTHING works. If you choose the second option, only change 302 to 301 after testing that everything works.
If you want to show /center/index.php to your visitors and keep a redirect from old URL to this URL then you will need one redirect and one rewrite rule (that you already have).
RewriteEngine on
# external redirect from old URL to new one
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /panelname/main/(\S+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /center/%1 [R=302,L]
# internal forward from new URL to actual one
RewriteRule ^center/([^/]+)/?$ panelname/main/$1 [L]
I'm making a website, (for examples sake it will be http://www.example.com).I am trying to make it redirect http://example.com/jquery/releasenotes to http://blog.jquery.com/?s=release+notesBy using this it put a / on the end, this stops it from working, since it searches for the / aswell. I tried using http://goo.gl and converted it to http://goo.gl/WdiItL Somehow this also fails to remove the / when in redirect. However if you simply go to http://goo.gl/WdiItL it works. My .htaccess file looks like this:
Redirect 301 /jquery/releasenotes http://goo.gl/WdiItL
I have no idea how to make it not have the / on the end.Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Use this RedirectMatch rule:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/jquery/releasenotes/?$ http://goo.gl/WdiItL
Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this
I think you have to use mod_rewrite's %{QUERY_STRING}
for example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =example.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(par1=1&par2=2)
RewriteRule ^$ http://alt.example.com/?%1 [R=301,L]
Having a problem with redirect in a .htaccess file on an Opencart store.
It seems that any URL with /index.php?_route_= isn't getting redirected.
For example, this works:
redirect /old-url-here http://example.com/new-url?
This doesn't:
redirect /index.php?_route_=some-url.asp http://example.com
Any idea or suggestions as to what might get this to work?
You can't match against the query string using mod_alias' Redirect directive. You'll need to use mod_rewrite, and if you use mod_rewrite, you're probably going to want to stop using mod_alias altogether.
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} route=some-url\.asp
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/
Another thing is - apart from Jon's answer - that URLs like index.php?_route_=some-keyword are used/created only internally and only in case you have the SEO turned on. In this case, you click on a link with URL like http://yourstore.com/some-keyword and this URL is rewritten into index.php?_route_=some-keyword.
Therefore you shouldn't be creating URLs like that on your own nor try to redirect from them. If you need to redirect, catch the first SEO URL to redirect it.
We do not know where did you put your changes into the .htaccess file, but if you take a close look at this rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
not only you'll find out it is the last rule there, but it also has this L switch which is telling Apache server that if this rule is matched, do a URL rewrite(, attach the query string [QSA] and) stop matching other rules [L] - this is the Last one.
If you need to redirect only a specific URL, do it the same way as redirect for sitemap.xml is done (for example) and place it before the last rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
# ...
# your new rule here - while the URL in the link is http://yourstore.com/some-url.asp
RewriteRule ^some-url.aspx$ index.php?route=some-folder/some-controller [L]
# ...
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
Redirect 301 /resort.php/FOO/BAR http://www.sitename.com.com/index.php
RewriteRule ^/direct/(.*) /direct/$1 [QSA,L] # access non i18n files directly
RewriteRule ^/([a-z]{2}\/.*) /$1 [QSA,L] #any language subdirectory should be left alone
RewriteRule ^/(.*\/$) /en/$1index.php [QSA,L] #fix for links ending in /
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.php) /en/$1 [QSA,L] #any php file with no language subdirectory redirects to the default language
What's the explanation for why the first Redirect 301 isn't going to the homepage? When I replace it with..
RewriteRule ^/resort.php(.*) http://www.sitename.com/index.php [R=301,L]
It starts working. I'm sure it's because I have a bunch of rules and it goes to one and jumps to the other but I'm kinda lost and maybe a guru could explain this more clearly.
My directory structure is like so:
/en/index.php
/direct/
There is no /index.php in the root, I'm redirecting it to en initially.
The Redirect directive is getting into a bun-fight with mod_rewrite. The latter is quite aggressive, and is probably over-writing the redirect HTTP header set on the response by the Redirect directive.
You've already found the solution - use a RewriteRule to perform the redirect. The [L] flag means "last rule - don't process any more", which is how you prevent the rules from interfering with each other. The plain Redirect directive is just an easy way of achieving the simpler functionality of RewriteRule.
RewriteRule /resort.php/FOO/BAR http://www.sitename.com.com/index.php [R=P, L]
your rules arent jumping around, in fact, the L flag means LAST rule, so when one is triggered, the file stops being read.
