Anyone out there good with htaccess and mod rewrite - i need your help!
I need to rewrite the base part of a url.
for example all requestst to http://domain1.com need to go to http://domain2.com
The requests will typically be in the form as follows:
http://domain1.com/main/test?q=1
i then need to go to http://domain2.com/main/test?q=2
Pleas help!
Thanks in advance
Try this in your .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
# redirect for http
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =80
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ http://domain2.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L,NE]
# redirect for https
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} =443
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ https://domain2.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L,NE]
R=301 will redirect with https status 301
L will make last rule
NE is for no escaping query string
QSA will append your existing query parameters
$1 is your REQUEST_URI
Rewriting URL's across multiple domains? I'm not entirely sure this can work, considering Apache's request-handling algorithm. You're looking for a redirect, not rewrite.

Is it possible to do something like this to redirect old traffic to the new site with a 301.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !new-example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
However, I will need to manually map some pages to their new equivalent pages like
Redirect 301 /about http://new-example.com/about-us
Is it possible to do both?
If you are going to use Rewrite, then use it only. I don't recommend use both mod-alias and mod-rewrite. You can use rewrite to map to individual pages too. Also the order matters. The catchall rule should be the last one. This would provide cleaner code IMO.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^new-example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^about/?$ http://new-example.com/about-us [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !new-example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new-example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I am having a hard time figuring out how I can do this.
I want all requests to www.mydomain.com/manager to redirect to m.mydomain.com
I am trying:
# Friendly URLs for the manager
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?cloudcms.co$
RewriteRule ^manager/?$ http://m.cloudcms.co/ [NC,L,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(m.|manager.)?cloudcms.co$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ manager/ [L,QSA,NC]
However, the only real one that is properly rewriting is the second condition.
I have also tried the following
# Friendly URLs for the manager
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?cloudcms.co$
Redirect 301 /manager http://manager.cloudcms.co
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(m.|manager.)?cloudcms.co$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ manager/ [L,QSA,NC]
But it ignores the second rewrite
As per my comment above:
Is there another .htaccess in /manager folder or any other in present .htaccess`
I suspect OP has another .htaccess somewhere inside your DOCUMENT_ROOT. Try removing that and this simple redirect will start working.
OP asked:
How would I be able to do this for any domain that could come in and
try hitting the /manager folder?
Just change your first redirect rule to:
# if not already on mobile domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^m\. [NC
RewriteRule ^manager/?$ http://m.cloudcms.co/ [NC,L,R=301]
You probably don't want to P flag, which is reverse proxying for you. Try replacing that with an R:
RewriteRule ^manager/?$ http://m.mydomain.com/ [NC,L,R]
On my webserver, I have one website located at example.com/site (in /var/www/site).
I want it to be accessed through site.example.com, and I'm aware I need to use mod-rewrite to enable this.
Is there a concise snippet I can use to do this? I need to make it extensible so other sites can be accessed this way as well. Thanks in advance.
If this is a matter of one specific subdomain: site, then you should explicitly rewrite just that one subdomain:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/site/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /site/$1 [L]
The second condition prevents an internal rewrite loop and making your URI look like /site/site/site/site/site/site/ etc...
This would go in your .htaccess file in your document root, /var/www/
If you really want to arbitrarily redirect any subdomain, you can try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]*)\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}:%1 !^/([^/]+)[^:]*:\1 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
Here, the second condition serves the same purpose, it tries to make sure the request URI doesn't start with the subdomain match from the host. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11508430/851273 for a better explanation.
First you need to configure your server to accept any subdomain for your domain example.com and redirect it to your virtual host that as well has to accept any subdomain. After that, you can use the following rule to rewrite that subdomain internally to a folder with the same name:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^ %1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
For a particular file, I want to force http instead of https
Example:
https://example.com/test.php?parameter1=value1
should be send to
http://example.com/test.php?parameter1=value1
How can I achieve this?
Your question is not very clear but try this .htaccess code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^parameter1=.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^test\.php/?$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,QSA,NC]
This will redirect ONLY if QUERY string parameter1=something is present in the original URL. If you want to redirect all /test.php URIs to https then remove the 1st RewriteCond line.
something like this:
RewriteRule ^https://example.com(.*) http://example.com$1 [R=301,NC]
I have wild card subdomains (*.domain.com) set up on my server. I now would like to use .htaccess to redirect all *.domain.com requests to a script main.php on my server. I searched for code that would help accomplish the redirect but I have not been entirely successful. The best working code I have found is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/%1 [QSA,R=301,L]
However, www.subdomain.domain.com is redirected to domain.com/www.subdomain instead of domain.com/subdomain. How can this be fixed in the code? Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Can you try this rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?(.+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/%2 [R=301,L]
