I have this problem where I switched CMS from the old one to the new one so I am trying to redirect urls properly.
Here are some example urls I wanted to convert:
#-1) http://www.mysite.com/?dispatch=search_data&features=hash_tag
#-2) http://www.mysite.com/index.php?dispatch=search_data&features=hash_tag
Basically both of them are identical except the first one doesn't have index.php in the url.
I got the following to code to partially work:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} dispatch=(.*)
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.mysite.com/? [L,R=301]
The above code works for #-1 (when there is no index.php) but when there is index.php it doesn't work.
Any help / guidance is much appreciated.
Thanks
____________UPDATE_______________
As per request, here is what the the target url should be:
http://www.mysite.com/
What do you mean it "works"?
You should probably post an example of what you want the new url to look like given the old url.
But in any case, part of your problem is that the RewriteRule line is specifically excluding index.php and any other page on your site.
What you wrote basically tranlates to this:
if the query string contains "dispatch=...":
redirect requests FOR THE HOME PAGE ONLY (^$) to http://www.mysite.com/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} dispatch=(.*)
RewriteRule ^(index.php)?$ http://www.mysite.com/? [L,R=301]
have you tried changing the second part to include the "index.php" part?
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.mysite.com/index.php? [L,R=301]

I need to put files in a new folder like this:
domain.com/newsite/newpanel/events.php
There are other files in the server like:
domain.com/events.php,
domain.com/oldsite/events.php etc.
Requirement 1:
I cannot redirect everything (because old implementations exist) with generic rules,
so I only want to redirect specific urls.
domain.com/events should now skip the old files and go to domain.com/newsite/newpanel/events.php
Requirement 2:
I tried something like this
RewriteRule ^events /newsite/newpanel/events/$1 [P]
but the url on the url bar will change. Is it possible for it to display domain.com/events?
thank you all!
EDIT: Since OP has mentioned different URLs in comments section so adding solution as per that here.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/CProjects/events/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ CProjects/folderA/folderB/events [L]
Based on your shown samples, could you please try following. Please make sure you clear your browser cache before testing your URLs after putting these Rules into your .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond ^/events/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ newsite/newpanel/events.php [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^home/?$ pages/forum_html.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^forum-thread/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ pages/forum_thread_gen_html.php?thread_id=$1 [NC,L]
I am trying to do an internal URL redirect. The first RewriteRule works fine but the second doesn't work, the page shows object not found but when I change the second line to ^forum-thread/?$ the page displays but of course no id for my page to process.
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
The second URL looks like this:
localhost/rootfolder/projectfolder/forum-thread/cdjd2_dsdsd4_adsda/
The URL had underscores and the pattern matching sequence I used did not have an underscore in it. I have edited the second RewriteRule as so:
RewriteRule ^forum-thread/([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/?$ pages/forum_thread_gen_html.php?thread_id=$1 [NC,L]
I've been struggling with some htaccess redirects. I just spent some time reading and searching and couldn't get a solution that works with my scenario.
I'm in the process of making the 301 redirect for an old website (ASP) to a new one (Wordpress). The old pages has parameters query which I need to process but also remove 'http://' string from it to get redirect to work.
Example URL (old) to redirect looks like:
http://www.domain.org/index.asp?documentID=2410&utm_source=IT+Travel+Reminder&utm_medium=Informz%2FnetFORUM&utm_campaign=IT%2FTravel+Reminder%2FMonthly+Monthly+Travel+Reminder&zbrandid=4050&zidType=CH&zid=28841368&zsubscriberId=1036792259&zbdom=http://my.informz.net
redirected to:
http://www.domain.org/permalink-2410/?qs=true&utm_source=IT+Travel+Reminder&utm_medium=Informz%2FnetFORUM&utm_campaign=IT%2FTravel+Reminder%2FMonthly+Monthly+Travel+Reminder&zbrandid=4050&zidType=CH&zid=28841368&zsubscriberId=1036792259&zbdom=my.informz.net
and .htaccess code to redirect it:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^documentid=2410(&.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.asp(.*):(.*)$ http://www.domain.org/permalink/?qs=true%1%2 [L,R=301,QSA]
but somehow is not working as I have expected when
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^documentid=2410(&.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.asp$ http://www.domain.org/permalink/?qs=true%1 [L,R=301,QSA]
works fine when I will remove http:// or : from a query string.
Where do I have made mistake?
Thanks!
Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^documentid=(\d+)(&.+?)http://(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.asp$ http://www.domain.org/permalink-%1/?qs=true%2%3 [L,R=302,NC,NE]
Make sure to clear browser cache before testing this.
I get an original url:
www.mydomain.com/menu/?myid=29&mypage=pizza-hut.html
with the following mod_rewrite code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^menu/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /menu/?pid=$1&alias=$2 [L]
I get this nice url:
www.mydomain.com/menu/29/pizza-hut.html
so, both url above reference the same page...right!
now the real deal is,
WHY when I type the url,the original one:
www.mydomain.com/menu/?myid=29&mypage=pizza-hut.html
it doesn't redirect to
www.mydomain.com/menu/29/pizza-hut.html
it keeps its original one in the address bar, is there any line I should add?
Essentially, all the links you generate should be the nice urls. Don't have links like /menu/?myid=29&mypage=pizza-hut.html in any of your pages. Use the clean URLs that you've ensured to route correctly on the back end that look like this: www.mydomain.com/menu/29/pizza-hut.html
The rules that you have rewrite on the server the nice looking urls to what your content understands (e.g. /menu/?myid=29&mypage=pizza-hut.html). That's the most important part. If you want to correct all the direct requests for the ugly URLs, you need to first make sure all your pages start using the nice looking ones, then you can maybe do something like this:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /menu/?\?myid=([^&]+)&mypage=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^menu/?$ /menu/%1/%2? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /menu/?\?myid=([^&]+)&mypage=([^&\ ]+)
RewriteRule ^menu/?$ /menu/%1/%2.\html? [R=301,L]
Note the ? following the .\html
From my .htaccess file:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
I want users going to url domain.com/showPAGE.php to be redirected to domain.com/page .
When domain.com/page is being entered, I want it to show the content of the file showPAGE.php.
Is that possible to do?
The above results an infinite redirection loop.
Thanks
You're trying to do something that's very tricky. The problem is that, by design, the RedirectRule directive always triggers again the complete set of rules. You can only get out of the loop when you obtain a final URL that does not match any of the rules and that's the tricky part since you are reusing the showPAGE.php name.
My best attempt so far involves adding a fake hidden string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/showPAGE\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^internal
RewriteRule ^ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page$ showPAGE.php?internal [NC,L]
It works but it's not pleasant. Definitively, it's easier to handle the redirection from with PHP or to simply pick another name.
The redirect from showPAGE.php to page needs to have [L] so that it will stop processing and redirect at once, rather than going on and applying other rules (which at once map it back to showPAGE.php). Try this:
RewriteRule ^showPAGE.php page [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^page showPAGE.php [NC,L]
