.htaccess redirect trouble - apache

I'm having trouble with (what should be) a simple .htaccess redirect. I need to changed any url that has "for_homes" into "for_home".
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]
However when I go to any pages with for_homes I get a 404.
Rewrite Rules:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^for_business(.*)$ for_businesses$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

The problem is a preceeding rule is rewriting to index.php. In this block here:
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
### This rule rewrites "for_homes" to "index.php?/for_homes"
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
### These rules never get applied
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^for_business(.*)$ for_businesses$1 [L,R=301]
So perhaps after the RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d, add conditions to exclude the later 2 rewrites, So that it looks like this:
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/for_home(s)?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/for_business(es)?
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^for_business(.*)$ for_businesses$1 [L,R=301]
If it's your intention to have index.php handle for_home and for_businesses, so that when someone enters http://domain.com/for_homes/stuff in their browser's address bar, the browser gets redirected to http://domain.com/for_home/stuff, then it gets internally rewritten to /index.php?/for_home/stuff so that index.php can handle the request, you simply need to move the 301 redirects before the index.php rewrite:
### Redirect first
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^for_business(.*)$ for_businesses$1 [L,R=301]
#request to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Perhaps you are just missing RewriteEngine On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^for_homes(.*)$ for_home$1 [L,R=301]

/index.php/, /index.php?/, /?/ in codeigniter urls

Although we've redirected index.php to root, still we are getting inner page URLs in following 4 versions:
https://example.com/articles [/index.php/articles, /index.php?/articles & /?/articles]
Would anyone explain why?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^www.example.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|phpinfo\.php|Charts|assets|uploads|userfiles|c‌​ustomer-uploads|appl‌​ication|sitemap\.xml‌​|sitemap\.html|robot‌​s\.txt|gyan\.rss)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]
Try using this simpler method
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php| (.*)\.swf|forums|images|css|downloads|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?$1 [L,QSA]

htaccess rewriterule adds unwanted get parameter

What I have in my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
# --- Remove index.php from URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^city/([^/]+)/?$ /uk/city/$1 [R=301,L]
What I like it to do is redirect example.com/city/london to example.com/uk/city/london
The weird thing is that it now redirects to example.com/uk/city/london?city/london so it seems it adds the part it needs to redirect as a get parameter to the new URL.
Also tried Redirect 301 /city/london http://www.example.com/uk/city/london but this gives the same result.
You need to keep R=301 (redirect) rule before internal routing rule:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^city/([^/]+)/?$ /uk/city/$1 [R=301,L]
# --- Remove index.php from URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
Also clear your browser cache to test this to avoid hitting old 301 cache.
You can try something like this if the Redirect 301 did not work:
RewriteRule /city/london uk/city/london [L]
Here's an example with your other defined .htaccess rules:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule /city/london uk/city/london [L]
# --- Remove index.php from URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

RewriteRule all except other rewrite already declared

I have the following entries handled as fixed files using .htaccess (for example)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^redir$ redir_base64.php
RewriteRule ^confirm$ confirm.php
RewriteRule ^migrate$ migrate.php
RewriteRule ^import_conn$ import_conn.php
RewriteRule ^callback_ot$ callback_ot.php
RewriteRule ^callback_yh$ callback_yh.php
RewriteRule ^callback_gp$ callback_gp.php
RewriteRule ^callback_lk$ callback_lk.php
RewriteRule ^results/map$ index.php
RewriteRule ^results$ index.php
RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ robots.php
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php
RewriteRule ^removeml$ removeml.php
RewriteRule ^rss$ rss_gen.php
RewriteRule ^cpt\.jpg$ c/captcha/captcha.php
RewriteRule ^cptfrm\.jpg$ c/captcha/captcha.php?width=120&height=60&characters=4
RewriteRule ^cptfrm160\.jpg$ c/captcha/captcha.php?width=100&height=60&characters=3
RewriteRule ^login/lk$ login_conn.php?op=lk
RewriteRule ^t$ c/thumb/phpThumb.php
RewriteRule ^spce$ spce.php
RewriteRule ^orplkd$ order_publisher.php
RewriteRule ^ord_ren$ order_reactivate.php
RewriteRule ^logout$ logout.php
This entry works fine! But I need to access /000/000 and I see that an conflict with lines indicates below.
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\d\w\-\.]+)/([\d]+)$ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^([\d\w\-\.]+)$ index.php [QSA,L]
I try to access to my site using that lines but I cannot to recognize only the last lines because use ALL access on the site.
I hope so understand my help.
Thanks!
You need to repeat the 2 conditions. Rewrite conditions only apply to the immediately following condition.
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\d\w\-\.]+)/([\d]+)$ index.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([\d\w\-\.]+)$ index.php [QSA,L]

htaccess trailing slash not working

I have the below code in my htaccess. The site works fine (ie: no 500 errors) but it is not adding the trailing slash to my URLs:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://staging.foo.com/$1/ [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
What do I have wrong here?
You need to swap the order of your rules
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://staging.foo.com/$1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [NC,L]
</IfModule>
The reason why it wasn't working was because the routing to /index.php rule was being applied first, then the rewrite engine loops, and then the 2nd rule (the redirect rule) won't get applied because the URI has been rewritten to /index.php and that causes the %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f to fail, since index.php exists, thus, the redirect never happens.

.htaccess Apache URL Rewrite for Wordpress - permanently pointing one domain to another

I am trying to point www.olddomain.com/whatever to www.newdomain.com/whatever (as well as without the www.), but the Wordpress permalinks are not staying intact. Please help!!
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
</IfModule>
I fixed it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com [nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [r=301,nc,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
A much simpler solution. Change the .htaccess to just say:
RedirectMatch 301 /(.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1
You will need to move this block:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
behind the redirects. It grabs everything and sends it to index.php.
