Manage two domains pointing to one hosting with htaccess - php

Well, I want to know somebody me to explain, if possible, how could I manage one hosting to have two domains pointing to it.
My purpouse is to have two folders, and manage it with htaccess.
I have two parked domains in Hostinguer, now I want to know how can I make that the htaccess only allow one folder to one domain and the other folder to another domain, and take this to all the directories, because now, I can access my webpage by the two domains and I want to know how can I solve it.
My first try was this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www|)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
I know more or less what is every thing, there is a little bit of Regex and some instructions that says how it has to works.
Let's say something like that in PHP:
if($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == "www.domain.com") //There is an regex I know
exit; //Or, in this case throw a 403 error.
But, for example, I don't know how can I apply this action to all the subdirectories, avoiding this two-three lines to every .htaccess in every folder.
And also, It didn't work as I expected, because, it throw me a 403 error if I visit it from my domain.com, but also, it throw me a 403 error if I visit it from my subdomain: http://ikillnukes.hol.es/fapi (I will leave it running all the night to prove it)
Note: I don't have access to the Apache, so, don't suggest me to make an virtualhost because I can't. ;-)
EDIT:
I have now:
domain1.com, domain2.com and sub.domain1.com
And those folders:
root
domain1 //This is created by me
sub //This is automatically created by Hostinger, and I can't change the name or the path
domain2 //This is created by me
So, there is any problem by doing what #Walf suggested to me, but I have the problem of the subdomains and the .htaccess #Walf provided to me is a little bit compilcated to understand (my fault), so, what can I should try?
So, any help to me explaining how to approach this would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance!

Your question is probably a duplicate but I can't find one that uses adjacent dirs (as I think you're describing), nor one with a solution I'd use, myself. Try this in your root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine on
# capture the original request so you never have trouble with (un)escaping
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \S+\s+(\S*)
RewriteRule ^ - [E=REQ:%1]
# ensure the domain goes to a dir with the same name (ignoring www)
# get domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)
# see if first dir in url doesn't match domain
RewriteCond %1 =!^(?>([^|]+)\|\1)$
# capture first dir (if any) to check against above conditions and pass through as new url if not prefixed with domain dir
RewriteRule ^[^/]* %1%{ENV:REQ} [NE,DPI,PT]
Your dir structure would then be
docroot/
domain1.com/
whatever
domain2.net/
whatever
.htaccess
You should then be able to have normal .htaccess directives in each subdir, if you wish. Ensure you use RewriteBase / in those dirs.
Re-edit That just makes your situation more like most others'.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# capture the original request so you never have trouble with (un)escaping
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \S+\s+(\S*)
RewriteRule ^ - [E=REQ:%1]
# ensure the domain goes to the required dir
# get domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www\.)?(.+)
RewriteRule ^ - [E=DOM:%1]
# explicitly set dir per host
RewriteCond %{ENV:DOM} =sub.domain1.com [NC]
RewriteRule !^sub/ sub%{ENV:REQ} [NE,DPI,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:DOM} =domain2.com [NC]
RewriteRule !^d2/ d2%{ENV:REQ} [NE,DPI,L]
# allow domain1.com to proceed to root (any other rules go below)
# rules must still exclude subdirectories for other domains, e.g.:
RewriteRule ^(?!sub/|d2/)([^/]+)/([^/.]+)$ foo.php?bar=$1&baz=$2 [NE,B,L,DPI]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !^(?:sub/|d2/|index\.php$) index.php [L,DPI]
# after all other rules, emulate DirectorySlash so that Apache does not naively insert hidden directory into public URL
DirectorySlash off
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule (?>.*)(?<!/) %{ENV:REQ}/ [L,DPI,R]
If you're unsure of any regex, paste it into regex101.com (with the g flag off) and look at the explanation.

User-Friendly Redirect If File Not Exist

I feel like this is a rather common request, but I am too confused about .htaccess and couldn't find a solution by Google.
I have a Laravel instance in a subdirectory of the Apache2 htdocs. Now I would like to invisibly redirect all requests from the root domain to this folder (it should be the "root" website). But the tricky thing is, this is not the only folder, there are other folders directly in the htdocs, which should be reached normally. Just the "root" website is not in the root but also in a subfolder. For example:
https://domainA.com should load https://domainA.com/laravel/public (including possible query string or parameters, but invisibly for the user)
https://domainA.com/websiteB should be served as it is
https://domainA.com/websiteC should be served as it is
...
I assume, part of this solution will be to list all the websiteB, websiteC directories in the .htaccess, would it be possible to automate this?
Thanks in advance!
You can put a .htaccess in the folder you want to custom controle but you have to create some filter condition
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
## RewriteBase /foo
## conditions to tell what to redirect ie on URI
## RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/a-folder/
## not websiteB or websiteC
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/websiteB/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/websiteC/
## if the file does not exist call index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ my/path/to/a/script.php [L]
</IfModule>
After you have to do something special in script.php for those HTTP calls
You can also rewrite the URI and pass it again to apache but things can be complicated after...

How to do both internal and external .htacces rewrite to completely remove ALL QUERY_STRING elements from ALL URIs, with relative path

I want to remove all client request querystrings whatsoever, no exceptions.
I have tried everything I can find, and everything I know about regular expressions, and this task puzzles me. I have been able to achieve removal of the query strings, but now all requests have the full file path prepended to the working directory upon rewrite and redirect.
Examples: there is no http in these because stackoverflow won't let me post URLs.
I access the file: /localhost/testing/dogs/pups.txt
Yes, pups.txt exists and lives right there.
Server returns this to browser: /localhost/home/user/public_html/testing/dogs/pups.txt
If I access it with a query string appended:
/localhost/testing/dogs/pups.txt?bark=woof
I get the same output to the browser:
/localhost/home/gost/public_html/testing/dogs/pups.txt
So I know the query string is being nixed, while the full root path is being added to the hypertext address.
How do I tell mod_rewrite to keep the relative path of the existing files, so that this prepending of the full file path stops, and accurately cause it to rewrite internally and externally so that no query string ever makes it to php-land?
Here is the current .htaccess file. It resides in directory /home/user/public_html/testing. Where deployed online, it is NOT possible to put it in the root web directory, the obvious move that would instantly resolve this problem.
# These are commented out on purpose because they kill access to the server.
# The weird rules for regex in Apache configurations is baffling me. This
# does remove all QUERY_STRING characters, but, it then rewrites by
# prepending the web root path to the current directory, causing error 404.
# RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^
# RewriteRule (.*) $1? [R=301,L]
# These rules work fine. Whatever does not end with a media or document
# extension gets sent to index.php
RewriteRule ^.*\.(gif|jpe?g|png|txt|svg|pdf|rtf|odt|doc|docx)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(tex|epub|mobi|csv|ods|xls|swf|flv)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
Change this RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ to this RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
and add the directory to the rule since you can't use rewritebase. So it should look like this
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule (.*) /testing/$1? [R=301,L]
I can't accept my own answer for two days, so if anyone wants to add logic about mod_rewrite for future questioners, have at it. Per Panama Jack's advice, this .htaccess file does the job and this question is answered.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule (.*) /testing/$1? [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(gif|jpe?g|png|txt|svg|pdf|rtf|odt|doc|docx)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(tex|epub|mobi|csv|ods|xls|mm|)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^ test.php [L]

Redirect rules for 404 content using .htaccess

It's quite common for us to put in progress sites at www.domain.com/dev/ and then once the client has signed off the site to move it to the top level www.domain.com, what we like is to be able to put a .htaccess file in the top level so that once we've moved the site out of /dev if the client accidently goes to www.domain.com/dev/apage.php that they be redirected to www.domain.com/apage.php, but only if www.domain.com/dev/apage.php doesn't exist.
Sometimes the dev folder will be called various other things, and ideally we don't want to have to edit the .htaccess file to match the folder name.
Thanks for any help.
You could do something like
Edited based on comments:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule dev/(.*)$ $1 [R=301,L]
Which basically means that if the file doesn't exist - RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f - then rewrite any request to dev back to the root. You have to specify dev/ in the rewrite rule as otherwise you will get stuck in a redirect loop.
This will only work however if you are using explicit files rather than a framework with everything routed through index.php for example

htaccess rewrite ".../pages/about.php" to ".../about"

I've searched and found a lot of questions on this site and elsewhere that are very similar, but I've tried implementing and modifying all the suggestions I've found and none of it works. I realize this is a very basic question an I am extremely frustrated because nothing I'm trying is working.
With that having been said... I am trying to organize my content pages within kurtiskronk.com/pages/... (e.g. kurtiskronk.com/pages/about.php)
What I want to do is make it so that I can simply link to kurtiskronk.com/about ... So how do I go about stripping "pages/" and ".php"? I don't have a ton of content pages, so it's not a big deal if I have to specify for each page, though something dynamic would be handy.
NOTES: I am using Rackspace Cloud hosting, and WordPress is installed in /blog. My phpinfo() can be seen at http://kurtiskronk.com/pages/phpinfo.php
This is my existing .htaccess file (in the root)
php_value register_globals "on"
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
#301 redirect to domain without 'www.'
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.kurtiskronk\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://kurtiskronk.com/$1 [R=301,NC]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/ blog/index.php [L]
# PHP - MAIL
php_value mail.force_extra_parameters -kurtis#kurtiskronk.com
I tested and the rewrite works with the line below (/about as URL brings up file /pages/about.php), but then the homepage gives a 500 Internal Server Error:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/$1.php [L]
So I'm still sort of in the same boat as before, and as a follow-up, possibly more difficult question, if you go to http://kurtiskronk.com/weddings I am using SlideShowPro (flash) w/ SSP Director (self-hosted) as the back-end for it. When it pulls up a new image, it adds the following after /weddings ... "#id=album-152&num=content-9698"
There are four sections of the portfolio
# Homepage (kurtiskronk.com) id=album-148 ($id is constant for this section)
# Weddings (/weddings) id=album-152 ($id is constant for this section)
# Portraits (/portraits) id=album-151 ($id is constant for this section)
# Commercial (/commercial) id=album-150 ($id is constant for this section)
Assuming we get kurtiskronk.com/weddings to rewrite successfully without breaking anything, how would we make the total URL something cleaner kurtiskronk.com/weddings/9698 since the $num is the only thing that will change within a given section?
Kurtis, thanks for the extra information. It's a lot easier to give a specific answer to this.
My first comment is that you need to separate out in your thinking URI space -- that is what URIs you want your users to type into their browser -- and filesystem space -- what physical files you want to map to. Some of your mappings are URI->URI and some are URI->FS
For example you want to issue a permanent redirect of www.kurtiskronk.com/* to kurtiskronk.com/*. Assuming that you only server the base and www subdomains from this tree, then this cond/rule pair should come first, so that you can assume that all other rules only refer to kurtiskronk.com.
Next, you need to review the RewiteBase documentation. .htaccess files are processed in what Apache calls a Per-Directory context and this directive tells the rewrite engine what to assume as the URI base which got to this directory and .htaccess file. From what I gather, your blog is installed in docroot/blog (in the filesystem, and that you want to get to directory by typing in http://kurtiskronk.com/blog/ but that this .htaccess file is for the root folder -- that is the base should be (this goes before the www mapping rule)
DirectorySlash On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteBase /
#301 redirect to domain without 'www.'
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.kurtiskronk\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://kurtiskronk.com/$1 [R=301,NC]
You can add some field dumps look for REDIRECT_* in the Server or Environment table in the phpinfo O/P to see if these are sensible. For example:
RewriteWrite ^(.*)$ - \
[E=TESTDR:%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1.php,E=TESTPDR:%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1.php]
Your next rule is that if the file exists in the subdirectory pages then use it:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1 [NS,L]
[Note that some shared service sites don't set up DOCUMENT_ROOT properly for the rewrite engine so you may need to run a variableinfo script (<?php phpinfo(INFO_ENVIRONMENT | INFO_VARIABLES); to see if it sets up alternatives. On your site you have to use %{ENV:PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT} instead.]
Your next rule is that if the file exists, but with the extension .php in the subdirectory pages then use it:
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/pages/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ pages/$1.php [NS,L]
Now redirect any blog references to the blog subdirectory unless the URI maps to a real file (e.g. the blog stylesheets and your uploads.)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^blog/ blog/index.php [L]
A complication here is that WP may be using a poorly documented Apache feature call Path Info that is a script can act as a pseudo directory so http://kurtiskronk.com/blog/tag/downtown/ is redirected to docroot/blog/index.php/tag/downtown/ which is then executed by `docroot/blog/index.php using /tag/downtown/ as the PATH_INFO. But this is one for Wordpress experts to comment on. If this last rule doesn't work then try:
RewriteRule ^blog/(.*) blog/index.php/$1 [L]
PS. I like your site. I wish I was that young again :(
Postscript
When you say "it doesn't work", what doesn't with this .htaccess?
http://kurtiskronk.com/phpinfo,
http://kurtiskronk.com/phpinfo.php,
http://kurtiskronk.comblog/tag/downtown/
It's just that these rules work for these tests (with domain swapped) on mine. (One way is to move or copy the above variableinfo.php to the various subdirectories. If necessary temporarily rename the index.php to index.php.keep, say, and copy the variableinfo.php to the index.php file. You can now enter the various URI test patterns and see what is happening. Look for the REDIRECT_* fields in the phpinfo output, and the SCRIPT_NAME will tell you which is being executed. You can add more {E=...] flags to examine the various pattern results. (Remember that these only get assigned if the rule is a match.
Lastly note the changes above especially the additional NS flags. For some reason mod_rewrite was going directly into a subquery which was resulting in redirect: being dumped into the file pattern. I've had a look at the Apache code and this is a internal botch to flag that further redirection needs to take place (which then replaces this or backs out). However this open bug indicates that this backout can be missed in sub-queries and maybe that's what is happening here. Certainly adding the NS flas cured the problem on my test environment.
PS. Note the added explicit DirectoryIndex directive and also that whilst http://kurtiskronk.com will run the root index.php, the explicit /index.php version will run the one in pages, because that's what your rules say.
Here is a simple solution. You can use it apache conf file(s) or in .htaccess (easier to set up when you're trying).
mod_rewrite has to be enabled.
For example, use .htaccess in your DocumentRoot with:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/$1.php [L]
It will redirect /about to /pages/about.php, and any other page.
The "RewriteCond" part is to authorize access to an existing file (eg: if you had an "about" file at the root of your site, then it will be served, instead of redirecting to /pages/about.php).
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /([0-9]+)$ /pages/$1.php [L]
Put something like this in your .htaccess file. I guess that is what you want.
Juest a redirect from a simple url to a longer url.

mod_rewrite redirect from any page to home page

I need to redirect if someone goes to any folder e.g. http://site.com/images/ or http://site.com/images to http://site.com.
Unless he goes to file e.g. http://site.com/images/index.php in this case it does not redirect
now i use
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/ [R=301,L]
but i think its not perfect because e.g. if someone comes on http://www.site.com it does not work.
Keep in mind due to server configuration i need to put .htaccess in every folder.
I believe that what you are looking for is the -f flag:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
If you are only looking at stopping someone from getting a list of the files you have in the folder, you may want to consider instead adding:
Options -Indexes
This will tell apache not to display a directory list if no index page is present in the given directory.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
The last thing to note, if you are not familiar with how .htaccess works, apache scans the current folder and any of its parent folders - you should be okay with only adding a single .htaccess file in your web root for http://site.com. This has been covered in another question here.
