I want to direct all requests for any URL that ends with index.html to /. I have one domain on the server.
Example:
If someone wants "www.thissite.com/index.html--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
AND
if someone wants "www.thissite.com/anyword/index.html"--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
AND
if someone wants "www.thissite.com/folderdoesntexistonthissite/index.html"--it is directed to www.thissite.com/.
What is the .htaccess code that would enable this? (Both the rewritecondition and rewriterule)
This doesn't quite do the job:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.html [NC]
RewriteRule index\.html$ http://www.thissite.com/$1 [R=301.L]
You could try this (without RewriteCond):
RewriteRule /index\.html$ http://www.thissite.com/ [R=301,NC,L]
Maybe the Error was the Period in [R=301.L].
You will need to use %{REQUEST_URI} variable to match in RewriteCond otherwise Apache strips out starting / in RewriteRule. Use below code in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/index.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule . / [R=301,L]

I'm hosting different sites
http://example.nl/example.nl/_sites/byos/
http://example.nl/example.nl/_sites/eggbot/
http://example.nl/example.nl/_sites/hslab/
http://example.nl/example.nl/_sites/prolactin/
And yes there is a folder that has the same name as the domain, there is a reason for that.
And I want the links to become:
http://example.nl/byos/
http://example.nl/eggbot/
http://example.nl/hslab/
http://example.nl/prolactin/
This is one of the many attempts:
RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)example.nl/_sites
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.nl/_sites/$1 [L]
And this one:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^example.nl/_sites/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R]
The last one brings me close, it changes the address in what I want it to be, but it also results in a 404 now.
I also tried it with renaming the example.nl folder so it is not the same as the domain name but the problem seems to be the same.
In case it is important for later, I also have folders with files here:
http://example.nl/example.nl/_misc/
http://example.nl/example.nl/_plugins/
But I don't care if those get renamed, since they won't appear in the url bar, unless the user goes directly to one of those files, but I don't care about that.
So how can I omit the example.nl/_sites/ part and still have the website working?
I have seen the similar questions on SO, but for me it looks like Chinese in another dialect.
---- edit:
using the following of the answer from anubhava:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}::%{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:www\.)?([^:]+)::GET\s/+\1/_sites/(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%2 [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/?$ %1/_sites%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
I don't get a 404 anymore.
But this files for example:
http://hslab.nl/hslab.nl/_misc/bna.js
It tries to load it as:
http://hslab.nl/_misc/bna.js
Which fails. In the code it was targeted as:
src="../../_misc/bna.js"
In case it helps here is a screenshot of the folder hslab.nl:
Without hardcoding host name, you may try these rules in your site root .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}::%{THE_REQUEST} ^(?:www\.)?([^:]+)::GET\s/+\1/_sites/(\S*)\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%2 [R=301,NE,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^[^/]+/?$ %1/_sites%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
With your shown samples, could you please try following. Fair warning I have written this in mobile so yet to test it should work IMHO will test it in sometime too. Also since you mentioned there could be multiple domains so I have specifically put a condition to check if it's example.nl here in case you want to rewrite request for any domain then we could omit that condition too.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z]+)/?$ %{HTTP_HOST}/_sites/$1 [L]
Note: in case you directories/folders are not necessarily starting with alphabets and could be anything then change regex in above from ^([a-zA-Z]+)/?$ TO ^([.*])/?$
I'm trying to redirect a site with the following url structure:
https://example.com/2021/about
to
https://2021.example.com/#about
https://example.com/2021/visit
to
https://2021.example.com/#visit
how can i do this?
i tried adding this to the /about directory in the original domain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) https://2021.example.com/#about [R=301,NE, L]
but what i got after the redirect was
https://2021.example.com/#about2021/about
which is not right. any help is appreciated
[EDIT] i only want to apply this to some folders, like /2021/about and 2021/visit
You may use this redirect rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(20\d{2})/(.+?)/?$ https://$1.%1/#$2 [R=301,L,NE]
Make sure this is your topmost rule in .htaccess and you clear your browser cache before testing this new rule.
Could you please try following, written based on your shown samples. Please make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Following will only be applied to 2021/about OR 2021/visit uris.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (example\.com) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(2021)/(about|visit)/?$ http://$1.%1/#$2 [R=301,NC,NE,L]
I need to rewrite URL and save top level domain and query.
I tried to use these rules
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^domain(.*)$ http://newdomain$1 [R=302,NE,L]
Using this testing tool I found that it works if domain.com/query?param=value is used as a request URL. But if I try to use http://domain.com/query?param=value[ it doesn't work.
Basically I don't care what protocol is (http or https), I just need to replace first occurrence of domain string and rewrite it with newdomain saving all other parts of a request URL.
As it turned out in your comment to the first answer I gave you are actually trying to replace only part of the hostname of the incoming request but keep path and query string. That was not clear to me from your question, sorry.
You have to use an additional RewriteCond for this, since as said before you caanot access the hostname at all inside a RewriteRule. So I guess the following goes into the direction of what you are actually looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^\.]+\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^newdomain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.%1/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
You may want to try this modification to preserve the original request scheme too:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^[^\.]+\.(.+)$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^newdomain\.(.+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_SCHEME}://newdomain.%1/$1 [R=301,L,QSA]
I am trying to redirect from
http://www.example.com:81/my/api/search?query=test
to
http://www.example.com:81/my/php/api.php?query=test
using
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^api/search(.*)$ /php/api.php?%1 [L]
However, it doesn't work for me. Additionaly for testing htaccess rules I use http://htaccess.madewithlove.be/.
Possibly even better would be to check if request starts from ^api and it's GET type (I guess using RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD}) then redirect to /my/php/api.php?[query params here]
Anyone can point me into right direction?
If your .htaccess is located in /my/ directory then you can use:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /my/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^query=.
RewriteRule ^api/search/?$ php/api.php [L]
QUERY_STRING will be automatically carried over to target URL.
We are trying to redirect everything from one domain to another with the following
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.example2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
When we visit http://www.example.com/v2sc
We are being redirected to http://www.example2.comv2sc
We would like to be redirected to http://www.example2.com/v2sc considering www.example2.comv2sc is not a valid hostname
Any ideas on how we can accomplish this?
Thank you!
It seems like you're using a .htaccess file for this. In that context the leading slash is not present in %{REQUEST_URI} so it's up to you to put it back in.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example2.com/%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301]
Please also note that solutions like this should be used only if you cannot edit the main server configuration file. Doing so would allow you to use a cleaner combination of vhosts and Redirect directives that would run much more quickly.
