i have hundreds of crawl errors to links like:
http://www.myfakebaseurl.com/education/imgcourse/Course.php?wikiinfa=1&page=5438
which i'd like to redirect to:
http://www.myfakebaseurl.com/education/courses.html
RewriteRule ^education/imgcourse/Course.php?(.*)$ http://wwww.myfakebaseurl.com/education/courses.html [R=301,L]
still results in:
http://www.myfakebaseurl.com/education/courses.html?wikiinfa=1&page=4973
How do i get rid of the all the $_GET variables?
A new given query string will replace the old query string unless the QSA flag is given, so just give an empty query string.
RewriteRule ... http://example.com/foo.php? [L]

I'm trying to achieve a rewrite rule that contains part of a query string
I would like the following url:
/cart.php?a=add&pid=1 // with "1" being a dynamic integer
to be:
/checkout?pid=1 // with "1" being the dynamic corresponding integer
I tried the following but it's not working for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pid=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^checkout$ ./cart.php?a=add&pid=%1 [R=301,L]
You just need to set the QSA (Query String Append) flag, to preserve the original string eg.
RewriteRule ^checkout$ ./cart.php?a=add [QSA,L]
I am learning .htaccess
My URL string is
http://abc.bcd.com/company/abc
I do apply to redirect my page if the company name is abc, xyz etc. and my rewrite rule is
RewriteRule ^/company/(.*?)$ /hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=$1 [L,PT]
Sometimes my url change to
http://abc.bcd.com/company/abc?locale=en
What will be query string condition to accommodate both the url and should work properly ?
I have tried this but not helping .
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^locale=(.*)$
The rewrite condition should help me like
if(locale="something")
/hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=abc&locale=something
else
/hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=abc
You just need to add QSA flag in your rule:
RewriteRule ^/?company/(.*)$ /hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=$1 [L,QSA]
QSA (Query String Append) flag preserves existing query parameters while adding a new one.
The query string part of the incoming URL is a very specific thing. First you should know that classical rewriteRules are not managing the query string.
So, for example, you cannot make a RewriteRule with a check for a query string parameter value. Query strings parameters could be repeted several times, could appear in any order, and are not url-decoded (the location part of the url is url-decoded when mod_rewrite works on it).
This explains why some RewriteCond are sometimes used on the %{QUERY_STRING}, it cannot be done in RewriteRule but could be tested in rewriteCond, with all the previous probelsm ( repetition, order, url-encoding, etc).
But some rewriteRule tags can be applied for query string managment. Currently your tags are [L,PT], which also be writtent [last,passthrough].
You can add a qsappend or QSA tag which explicitly tells mod_rewrite to combine the original query string and the generated one.
So with
RewriteRule ^/company/(.*?)$ /hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=$1 [last,passthrough,qsappend]
This:
http://abc.bcd.com/company/abc
Will go to
/hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=abc
And this:
http://abc.bcd.com/company/abc?locale=en
Will go to
/hhhhh/ll/test_page.html?company_letter=abc&locale=en
Like so many I am struggling with what ought to be a simple rewrite
The initial form is something like:
http://cassie-family.co.uk/individual.php?pid=I807&ged=Cassy%20Family%20History.ged
The last parameter only needs rewriting, as in:
http://cassie-family.co.uk/individual.php?pid=I807&ged=Cassie%20-%20Cassy%20Family%20History
I have tried to trap the first parameter using:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pid=([^&]+) [NC]
The nearest (incorrect) RewriteRule is:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ individual.php&pid=%1&ged=Cassie%20-%20Cassy%20Family%20History [L, NC, R=301]
The moment I try to replace the '&' after individual.php with the correct '?' the URL is written as:
http://cassie-family.co.uk/individual.php
So.. the parameter is being trapped correctly but the rewrite rule is clearly mangled. The error lies in here:
^(.*)$ individual.php&
What construct should I be using to replace only the 2nd (passed-in) parameter value (which is always the same fixed string) with a different 2nd value (which is always the same but slightly different fixed string)? Adding a B flag seems to make no difference.
All suggestions welcome,
Thanks,
Ric
I don't understand why I always have such a massive problem with rewrite rules, but I simply want to append to the query string if it exists and add a ? if it does not. I actually don't care if the URL is changed in the browser or not -- it just has to load the correct target page.
RewriteRule /cia16(.*)\?(.*) /cia$1?$2&CIA=16
RewriteRule /cia16(.*) /cia/$1?CIA=16
If I go to /cia16/steps.php?page=1 it actually gets rewritten to /cia/steps.php?CIA=16 -- that is it seems accept the query string part is not even considered part of the URL for the purposes of the rewrite.
What do I have to do to get the rewrite to work properly with an existing query string?
You can't match against the query string within a RewriteRule, you need to match against the %{QUERY_STRING} variable in a RewriteCond. However, if you want to just append the query string, you can just use the QSA flag:
RewriteRule /cia16(.*) /cia/$1?CIA=16 [QSA]
The URI: /cia16/steps.php?page=1 would get rewritten to /cia/steps.php?CIA=16&page=1. If for some reason, you need the page=1 before the CIA=16, then you can do something like this:
RewriteRule /cia16(.*) /cia/$1?%{QUERY_STRING}&CIA=16
I have a website with joomla and I need to redirect (301) some links
They are in this form (index.php?Itemid= identify them - all links that doesn't have this part shouldn't be redirected)
/index.php?Itemid=544&catid=331:savona&id=82356:smembramento-dei-cantieri-baglietto-di-varazze-lopposizione-delle-maestranze&option=com_content&view=article
This should work
RewriteRule ^index.php?Itemid(.*)$ http://www.ligurianotizie.it/archive/index.php?Itemid$1 [L,R=301]
But the first ? (question mark) seems to cause problems.
In fact, if we suppose that the links are without the question mark
/index.phpItemid=544&catid=331:savona&id=82356:smembramento-dei-cantieri-baglietto-di-varazze-lopposizione-delle-maestranze&option=com_content&view=article
I would use
RewriteRule ^index.phpItemid(.*)$ http://www.ligurianotizie.it/archive/index.php?Itemid$1 [L,R=301]
and everything is perfect. But unfortunately real links has that question mark, and I have to find a solution.
What I have to do with that question mark?
Is the ? character escaped? try to add the NE (noescape) flag like this:
RewriteRule ^index.php?Itemid(.*)$ http://www.ligurianotizie.it/archive/index.php?Itemid$1 [L,R=301,NE]
The part behind the question mark is the query string. You can use RewriteCondto determine if it is not empty, and based on that make the decision to redirect.
Note: Query String
The Pattern will not be matched against the query string. Instead, you must use a RewriteCond with the %{QUERY_STRING} variable. You can, however, create URLs in the substitution string, containing a query string part. Simply use a question mark inside the substitution string, to indicate that the following text should be re-injected into the query string. When you want to erase an existing query string, end the substitution string with just a question mark. To combine a new query string with an old one, use the [QSA] flag.
Source: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
This should help you:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Itemid
RewriteRule ^index.php(.*)$ http://www.ligurianotizie.it/archive/index.php$1 [L,R=301]
Every link containing "Itemid" will be redirected, the others not.
