I have a website with about 2000 links, and other site with the exact same pages.
I need to know how to do in apache the redirect from one domain to the other one, taking into accounts that after the .com the page will be the same on both sites
Example
User request:
www.mydomain.com/product1
Should redirect
www.mydomain2.com/product1
It should be a 301 redirect
Thank you for your help
This can easily be done with mod_rewrite:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# redirect all requests to www.domain2.com domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.domain.com
RewriteRule .* http://www.domain2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
This to be placed in .htaccess in website root folder (or into Virtual Host context) for www.mydomain.com. This also assumes that www.mydomain.com and www.mydomain2.com are on different servers / virtual hosts (in other words, not pointing into the same physical folder).
I do this at my company all the time. If you know how to use mod_rewrite, turn RewriteEngine on and use a RewriteRule with the [R] flag:
RewriteRule www.mydomain.com/product1 www.mydomain2.com/product1 [L,R]

I'm hosting a Laravel application on my server and have set up a subdomain to host it in my virtual host.
I have another subdomain on my server and after hours of playing around trying to set up an .htaccess file, I came up with the below which redirects all requests to www.mysite.net/example to my subdomain example.mysite.net (e.g www.mysite.net/example/12345 goes to example.mysite.net/12345)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(mysite\.net)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.%1/$1 [R=301,L,NE]
I'm wanting to tweak this to work with Laravel, but it doesn't quite work the same considering Laravel is hosted out of the following path mysite.net/laravel/public rather than mysite.net/example.
How would I edit the above .htaccess to redirect all requests to mysite.net/laravel/public to laravel.mysite.net? I.e mysite.net/laravel/public/12345 would redirect to laravel.mysite.net/12345
Edit
Here is the Virtual Host I have added through Apache
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName laravel.mysite.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/laravel/public
<Directory /var/www/laravel/public>
Options -Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Place this rule as your very first rule inside /var/www/laravel/public/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?mysite\.net$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /laravel/public/(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://laravel.mysite.net/%1 [L,R=302]
You can use redirect rule of htaccess to redirect any directory to a different domain. Use the below code:
Redirect 302 /laravel/public/ http://laravel.mysite.net/
Please let me know if it helps you out.
I am attempting to write some redirects and have stumbled on my final step of redirecting folders.
I have an old site with the following structure,
example.com
example.com/example
example.com/example/example
example.com/example/example
(with the domain examples.com parked and redirecting to this site)
And a new site (the domain unparked),
examples.com
examples.com/examples/new
examples.com/examples/examples/updated
examples.com/examples/examples/sample
Using a traditional 301 on the original site as per the below simply redirects to root
redirect 301 /example/ http:www.examples.com/examples/new/
it will not point to the correct subfolder
As a short term I have used the below to redirect all links to the root (on the old server) but it would be ideal to push them all to their exact locations
RedirectMatch 301 ^/example/.*$ http://www.examples.com/
I'm obviously missing something simple so any suggestions are appreciated.
Try this:
RedirectMatch 301 /example(.*) http://examples.com/examples/new/$1
RedirectMatch 301 /example/example(.*) http://examples.com/examples/examples/$1
Example #1: http://oldsite.com/example/XXXX should redirect to http://newsite.com/examples/new/XXXX
Example #2: http://oldsite.com/example/example/UPDATE should redirect to http://newsite.com/examples/examples/UPDATE
ok if those above don't work..try this..
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^example/?$ http://newsite.com/examples/new [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} oldsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^example/example/([^/]+)/?$ http://newsite.com/examples/examples/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
I am looking to migrate from old domain to new domain.
I have my old domain olddomain.com and new domain newdomain.com pointing to same ip address for now.
I have Apache server inplace to handle requests.
How do I 301 redirect all my
olddomain.com/*
&
www.olddomain.com/*
to
newdomain.com/*
Can I get exact regex or configuration that I need to add in htaccess.
My newdomain.com and olddomain.com both are being serverd by same apache from same IP so "/" redirect might lead to cycles? And so was looking for effecient way
I tried
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$ [OR]
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://comp16/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
And even tried adding in virtual host
RedirectMatch (.*)\.jpg$ http://comp17$1.jpg
But it does not redirect site when i hit localhost in browser to my computer name i.e comp16
In the configuration (VirtualHost) for each of your olddomain.com host try this:
Redirect permanent / http://newdomain.com/
Apache documentation for Redirect. This is the preferred way when everything should be redirected. If you must use mode_rewrite/htaccess there are plenty of questions around this on SO and one of them is:
How do I 301 redirect one domain to the other if the first has a folder path
EDIT
Recommendation from Apache regarding simple redirects:
mod_alias provides the Redirect and RedirectMatch directives, which provide a means to
redirect one URL to another. This kind of simple redirection of one URL, or a class of
URLs, to somewhere else, should be accomplished using these directives rather than
RewriteRule. RedirectMatch allows you to include a regular expression in your
redirection criteria, providing many of the benefits of using RewriteRule.
I also recommend to use an If statement as you can use it also in a multisite server. Just type:
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} == 'old.example.com'">
Redirect "/" "https://new.example.com/"
</If>
Write the below code in to your .htaccess and it will redirect all your old domain request to new domain.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) http://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
In my root folder, I have a home directory. I'd like all requests for mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com to be forwarded to home.mydomain.com. In my cPanel, I have already set up the sub-domain home.mydomain.com to point to mydomain.com/home.
Here's what I currently have in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ \/home\/$1 [L]
This successfully forwards mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/home or www.mydomain.com/home, respectively. But home.mydomain.com/filename gives me an internal server error, instead of serving the file at mydomain.com/home/filename.
I'm not sure I understand the exact requirements, but it seems you want to rewrite all (www.)mydomain.com requests to the /home directory while your subdomain home.mydomain.com already points to that directory and thus should be exempt from that rewrite directive. If for some reason (www.)mydomain.com can't be set up to point to /home as well, you'd need a Rewrite Condition, something like
RewriteEngine On
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mydomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/$1 [L]
I also removed the backslashes which should not be needed. You can use the htaccess tester to check rewrite rules easily online.
I'd like to redirect only the base url to an external site.
For instance, I want example.com redirected to anotherdomain.com but I don't want example.com/path to be redirected.
So far, example.com/path redirects to anotherdomain.com/path. :(
EDIT :
First, thank you for the help! example.com now redirects to another.com without affecting the children paths of example.com.
However, ideally, m.example.com won't redirect to another.com. So it's really just example.com redirecting to another.com.
Add this to your .htaccess in your DocumentRoot. I am assuming that you are hosting only one domain on the server.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^m\.
RewriteRule ^$ http://anotherdomain.com [R,L]
