i have a mod_rewrite redirection problem i cannot figure out.
all requests from a specific domain get "silently" rewritten into a designated subdirectory. e.g. www.mydomain.net/hello.html retrieves the file in /net/hello.html. the following .htaccess (placed in my hosting root) achieves this perfectly:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200 # <-- i will need this later. read to the end of the post.
RewriteRule .* - [L]
rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.net$
rewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/net.*$
rewriteRule (.*) /net/$1 [L]
however, direct URLs into this directory however should visibly redirect with a 301 to the URL without that subdirectory. e.g. www.mydomain.net/net/hello.html should redirect to www.mydomain.net/hello.html (which than still retrieves the file in /net/hello.html). my .htacces file for this (placed in /net) unfortunately doesn't work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^localhost$
RewriteRule ^(.*) /$1 [R=301,L]
i get an infinitive redirect loop despite the RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200 block in the root .htaccess file... so what's wrong?
btw, i have to use mod_rewrite, because the site is externaly hosted and i have no access to the apache configs.
many thanks for any pointers.
Inspect the HTTP request line in THE_REQUEST instead:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /net[/? ]
RewriteRule ^net($|/(.*)) /$2 [L,R=301]

I am using .htaccess file like below for redirect www to non www on my public_html directory
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
its working fine and redirect like below
www.example.com
to
https://example.com
Now in my sub directory called latest, I have another .htaccess file like below
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
which is making my url clean like below
www.example.com/latest/index.php?page=1
to
www.example.com/latest/1
but even I have .htaccess file in home directory which is making www to non www, my this directory does not redirect www to non www.
I want redirect
www.example.com/latest/1
to
https://example.com/latest/1
I am sure .htaccess file in my directory is causing issue but I do not know how to resolve it. Let me know if anyone here can help me for the same.
Thanks!
The problem is, mod_rewrite is not inherited (at least by default). If you have a rewrite rule in the "default" directory .. You're going to have to include that rule in all subsequent directories "below" that. I have never seen (or heard of) a setting for allowing mod_rewrite to allow inheritance from parent .htaccess files. In general, this is just accepted as "the way it is".
UPDATE
THIS QUESTION In Server Fault explains this as well. The mod_rewrite rules from the previous htaccess files don't even get processed.
COMBINE THE 2 in the SUB DIRECTORIES
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
# add this only to sub directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
I am currently deploying a number of sites from one hosting account. I have all of the sites in their own folder including the primary domain. The issue I have is when I rewrite the primary domains address with my current code, it includes the subdirectory in it. So currently if I type in http://www.example.com/url it rewrites to https://example.com/folder/url. I just want it to rewrite without the folder.
Any ideas. I know I am complicating this by running my primary domain in a subdirectory, just trying to clean up hosting as best as possible.
In my public_html .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /folder/$1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?example.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ folder/index.php [L]
and in public_html/folder .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
So currently if I type in http://www.site.whatever/url it rewrites to https://site.whatever/folder/url.
This is a "redirect", not a rewrite.
This is happening because of the use of the REQUEST_URI server variable in your HTTP to HTTPS redirect in your public_html/folder .htaccess file:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
The REQUEST_URI server variable contains the full URL-path of the request, which, by the time the subdirectory's .htaccess file is called, has been updated to contain /folder.
You need to either:
Move your canonical www to non-www and HTTP to HTTPS redirects to the .htaccess file in the document root. (This would be preferable if you have no other mod_rewrite directives in your public_html/folder .htaccess file.)
OR,
Modify the above directive to use the $1 backreference (to the captured RewriteRule pattern) as you are doing in the preceding www to non-www redirect. For example:
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
(Note that this should ultimately be a 301 redirect, once you have confirmed it works OK.)
And don't forget to escape literal dots in the regex.
I have an HTTPS subdomain, https://donate.example.com/, which points to the same web root as the www domain. I have a script on my server in the folder /donate/, and inside of there I have an .htaccess file which has the following code. I want to make sure any requests to http://www.example.com/donation/ (or http://direct.example.com/donation/) will redirect to https://donate.example.com/donation/.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^donate\.example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://donate.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
The issue I'm having is that the capture-group in RewriteRule (^(.*)$) is not being copied into the destination URL ($1), so the user is only being redirected to the webroot instead of the full path. This means that the user is being redirected to https://donate.example.com/ instead of https://donate.example.com/donation/ (which is the behavior I need/expect).
Any idea why the capture-group isn't working?
Problem is that inside /donation/ folder captured value for http://www.example.com/donation/ will be empty since it is relative to /donation/.
Try this code instead:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /donation/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^donate\.example\.com$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^ https://donate.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
My URL structure is currently as follows:
http://domain.com/folder/filename (CURRENT)
I want to change this so that I can use the following URL instead:
http://sub.domain.com/filename (NEW)
So accessing the CURRENT or the NEW url, should load the file located at the CURRENT url, but show the NEW url in the address bar. It should only apply to the "/folder/" path.
sub.domain.com is a mirror of domain.com, ie. they share the same file system and root directory.
This is what I have so far:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/folder/?(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This is working, but is missing the rule to remove the "/folder/" from the path. I've tried combining multiple RewriteRule's with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE: Thanks again #Gerben - I understand what your rules are doing now, but the second one isn't working for me. I suspect because it's conflicting with some other rewrite rules, in particular those of WordPress, which are lower down in my .htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Because of this the page ends up in a redirect loop, ie (from Chrome):
"The webpage at http://sub.domain.com/folder/index.php has resulted in too many redirects." - while the url I was originally trying to access was, for example, http://sub.domain.com/page
Any ideas?
Try:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(folder/)?(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$2 [R=301,L]
This will redirect everything to sub.domain.com, and remove the /folder part of the URI if it is there. If not, it redirects and leaves the URI untouched.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /folder/
RewriteRule ^folder/(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/folder/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ folder/$1 [L]
# WordPress rules here
edit the second R=301 should not have been there
But this won't work, as wordpress has no way of knowing you want folder. You could add the Proxy flag to the rewrite, but then you need to change the rule above to not redirect on this internal proxy request.
I have set up url redirect on my host--but its not working.
my htaccess looks like this now
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{HTTP_HOST} ^.*$
rewriterule ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L] #4d3a8d4534e567
what i want is any request to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info to be redirected to http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/
but any request to a path file or directory off the root not to be redirected
this so people can still access the old site via /home.html or index.html etc.. and still be able to navigate outside the wordpress folder
Try this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?bangkoksoftball\.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /wordpress/ [R,L,NE]
Remember there is NO presence of http/https in %{HTTP_HOST} or %{REQUEST_URI} variables. Also . needs to be escaped in domain match. NE flag is for not escaping the query parameters.
The rewriterule line does not look at the domain, you must specify the domain the rule applies to in the RewriteCond line. In the rewriterule line, you specify first the paths that should trigger the rule, and the path the user should be sent to instead.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This will send only requests to www.bangkoksoftball.info/ to the wordpress folder. If you want to also redirect www.bangkoksoftball.info/index.php to the wordpress folder, you would need to add an additional set of directives:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^http:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info$
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ "http\:\/\/www\.bangkoksoftball\.info\/wordpress" [R=301,L]
This should work for you as it worked here:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?bangkoksoftball.info$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.bangkoksoftball.info/wordpress/$1 [R=301,L]
