.htaccess rewrite and subdomains - apache

I have a subdomain setup as onlinedev.domain.com
I need to use htaccess to rewrite to domain.com/online_content, while still showing onlinedev.domain.com in the address bar (SSL is for onlinedev.domain.com).
this is what I currently have that is very close:
php_flag display_errors off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} onlinedev\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}<->%{REQUEST_URI} ^(www\.)?([^.]+).*<->/([^/]+) [NC]
RewriteCond %2<->%3 !^(.*)<->\1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+) /%2/$1 [L]
This correctly rewrites to domain.com/onlinedev, but if I try to change the RewriteRule to:
RewriteRule ^(.+) /online_content/$1 [L]
I get an error
I understand that there are typically better ways to do this subdomain work, but without getting into server config and DNS details, I need to do it with htaccess.
And yes, I do need to rewrite to a directory that has a different name than the subdomain.

Well, I figured it out.
The issue was that I was causing an infinite loop.
Once the rewrite had happened, it was still trying to rewrite to the directory.
Here is my new htaccess that took care of it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} onlinedev\\.domain\\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/online_content/
RewriteRule ^(.+) /online_content/$1 [L]
Notice that I added a check to make sure that the REQUEST_URI is not the name of the directory I am rewriting to.

Try this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =onlinedev.example.com [NC]
RewriteCond $0 !^online_content/
RewriteRule .+ /online_content/$0 [L]

rewrite www. to without www. in .htaccess for hostname instead of writing in the website name?

I currently use:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.e-innovate.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://e-innovate.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
But what i am trying to do is create a general rewrite code which i can drop into .htaccess files without having to change the domain name such as below, i dont seem to be able to get this to work, am i on the right track ?
Thanks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
note that this will also get applied to subdomains.

htaccess sub domain pointing to a folder but dont want to redirect

I have setup a domain with DNS etc... and wanting to point it to use the /blog folder but when you go to blog.domain.com it just redirects to domains.com/blog - i would like to retain the blog.domain.com url if possible
code im have tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.domain.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/blog/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
and also tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog\.* [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://domain.com/blog/ [L]
Thanks in advance
This done the trick
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^blog.domain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !blog/
RewriteRule (.*) /blog/$1 [L]

Redirecting subdomain to file without hardcoding url

Actually topic is simple and answered million times but, somehow doesn't work on me.
What I try to do is redirect "m.domain.com" and "mob.domain.com" to a file "domain.com/folder/mobile.htm"
But looks like any code conflicts with my current code which removes "www" from beginning.
My current code is
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s ^on(s)|off
RewriteCond http%1://%{HTTP_HOST} ^(https?://)(www\.)?(.+)$
RewriteRule ^ %1%3%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
# this is for webmail forward #
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /mail/?$ [NC]
RewriteRule . /webmail/ [L]
How can I redirect m and mob domains without conflicting with this code and without hardcoding "domain.com" ?
Thanks for your helps in advance.
Put this rule on top of your existing rules just below RewriteEngine On line:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS}s on(s)|
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:m|mob)\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ http%1://%2/folder/mobile.htm [L,R=301]

.htaccess rewrite subdomain to directory

Is it possible to use .htaccess to rewrite a sub domain to a directory?
Example:
http://sub.domain.example/
shows the content of
http://domain.example/subdomains/sub/
Try putting this in your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdomains/sub/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
For a more general rule (that works with any subdomain, not just sub) replace the last two lines with this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.example
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdomains/%1/$1 [L,NC,QSA]
I'm not a mod_rewrite expert and often struggle with it, but I have done this on one of my sites. It might need other flags, etc., depending on your circumstances. I'm using this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdomains/subdomain
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdomains/subdomain/$1 [L]
Any other rewrite rules for the rest of the site must go afterwards to prevent them from interfering with your subdomain rewrites.
You can use the following rule in .htaccess to rewrite a subdomain to a subfolder:
RewriteEngine On
# If the host is "sub.domain.example"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example$ [NC]
# Then rewrite any request to /folder
RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]
Line-by-line explanation:
RewriteEngine on
The line above tells the server to turn on the engine for rewriting URLs.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub.domain.example$ [NC]
This line is a condition for the RewriteRule where we match against the HTTP host using a regex pattern. The condition says that if the host is sub.domain.example then execute the rule.
RewriteRule ^((?!folder).*)$ /folder/$1 [NC,L]
The rule matches http://sub.domain.example/foo and internally redirects it to http://sub.domain.example/folder/foo.
Replace sub.domain.example with your subdomain and folder with name of the folder you want to point your subdomain to.
I had the same problem, and found a detailed explanation in http://www.webmasterworld.com/apache/3163397.htm
My solution (the subdomains contents should be in a folder called sd_subdomain:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain\.domain\.example
RewriteCond $1 !^sd_
RewriteRule (.*) /sd_subdomain/$1 [L]
This redirects to the same folder to a subdomain:
.httaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^\.]+)\.domain\.example$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain\.example/subdomains/%1
Try to putting this .htaccess file in the subdomain folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ ./subdomains/sub/$1
It redirects to http://example.org/subdomains/sub/, when you only want it to show http://sub.example.org/.
Redirect subdomain directory:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(archive\.example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%2/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
For any sub domain request, use this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.band\.s\.example
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.band\.s\.example
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/([a-zA-Z0-9-z\-]+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]
Just make some folder same as sub domain name you need.
Folder must be exist like this: domain.example/sub for sub.domain.example.
Edit file .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

htaccess problems with redirect for no www

I've been trying everything to manage a redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com,
but nothing seems to work for me. I always get a redirect loop - and I've tried various things I found here or on Google.
So here is my .htaccess, maybe someone could help me figure out what I can do to redirect correctly or if there is something wrong in here.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
# Redirect all to .php
# Example: example.com/hello -> example.com/hello.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,R=301]
# show example.com/index.php always as example.com/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]
Thank you so much!
I've already spent so much time trying to figure this out.
You have a rule that always matches, which is responsible for the infinite redirection. I've updated your ruleset below to fix that problem and perform the redirection you mentioned at the top of the answer. Let me know if this does what you expect.
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect www.example.com to example.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://example.com/$0 [R=301,L]
# This performs an external redirection? Is that what you want?
# Don't do the rewrite if we're already pointing at a file, otherwise we'll
# just redirect over and over because .* matches what we redirect to, too
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule ^.+$ $0.php [L,R=301]
# show example.com/index.php always as example.com/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://example.com/ [R=301,L]
The answer is Apache documentation, the documentation tell how to force usage of www. You just have to reverse the example.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://example.com/$1 [L,R]
