I read this .htaccess rewrite to redirect root URL to subdirectory and i'm trying to achieve the same things.
The solution with most up votes was:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ store [L]
Now, looking at the comments it seems to be working good.
The problem is that I'd like not to hardcode any path (as instead provided above "www.example.com"). I'd like that my .htaccess inside projectname/ redirects to projectname/public/ despite what the real server host is. So that if I put projectname/ inside the root server of www.pinco.com it redirects to www.pinco.com/projectname/public/ but it shows www.pinco.com/projectname/.
How can I achieve that?
The example you found is actually doing two different things.
# This is actually just redirecting all http://example.com/somepage/
# to http://www.example.com/somepage/, to ensure all URLs have the www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
The second rewrite is what will help you achieve what you're trying to do.
# This redirect all requests for http://example.com -> http://example.com/newdir
# If you are looking to redirect the request, so the URL contains directory name,
# you can change the [L] to [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ /newdir [L]
# If your concerned about direct access to a particular page without the sub-dir
# you will want to add something like this
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/newdir
RewriteRule (.*) /newdir$1 [R=301,L]
So, in that case, you won't have to be concerned with domain that the application is running on.
try to add this line, and :
RewriteBase /projectname
And you stay inside the project.

enter code here Hi I've the following code inside my htaccess file.
My wildcard subdomain routes to "mainfolder" - here i placed the htaccess file.
I've the following folders
"mainfolder"
"mainfolder/sub1"
"mainfolder/sub2"
etc.
Calling the subdomain - sub1.domain.com it should route to the subfolder "sub1" (subfolder=subdomain).
I tried to do it with this code
#Redirect to subdomainfolder if no special page is called
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ %1/index.html [L]
#Redirec to subdomainfolder if a special page is called
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain.com(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) %1/$1 [L]
The first rule works well, but if I add the second rule I receive a internal server error.
Whats wrong with this - how how I can change the first rule in this way, that it works with all url-parameters after .com - that was the reasons for me to add the second rule.
Hope I get help for this. thanks a lot.
A lot of web hosts today provide an easy implemention for subdomain creation in their administration panels. You just need to to go there, choose you subdomain name, and then point it to a directory in your tree.
If you can't, then it will be a little more complicated (You will need to resolve that subdomain to your server ip, configure some virtual hosts ... etc) and you may not have enough privileges to do that (unless you are on a dedicated server).
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com$1 [L,R=301]
RedirectMatch 301 ^/subfolder/(.*)$ http://subdomain.example.com/$1
LIke
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.com$
RewriteRule ^sub1/(.*)$ http://sub1.example.com/$1 [L,QSA,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sub1\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^sub1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sub1/$1 [L,QSA]

I have an issue writing some regex to go inside my htaccess file.
Basically, my site has been setup so that index.php and all other site files are not in the root (public_html) directory but instead are in http://fitnessquiz.co.uk/fitnessquiz.co.uk/
Initially I tried the following in my public_html folder:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^fitnessquiz.co.uk$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.fitnessquiz.co.uk$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !fitnessquiz.co.uk/
RewriteRule (.*) /fitnessquiz.co.uk/$1 [L]
which correctly navigates to my homepage and displays the url correctly but then when I click any link I get a "no input file specified" message. So then I tried replacing with:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/fitnessquiz.co.uk/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /fitnessquiz.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
After which the site works but every url looks like this:
http://fitnessquiz.co.uk/fitnessquiz.co.uk/someotherfolder/etc.php
I've tried various htaccess regex solutions listed elsewhere on here but none seem to work, how do I accomplish both of these things i.e. redirect to /fitnessquiz.co.uk for every url but hide the duplicate url name/folder. Im on a shared server so don't have permissions to change any server/apache settings directly.
According to this answer by nuked on a previous post you could try:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /fitnessquiz.co.uk/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fitnessquiz.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^fitnessquiz.co.uk/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fitnessquiz.co.uk$
RewriteRule !^fitnessquiz.co.uk/ fitnessquiz.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
This set of rules worked for me on a very similar situation. I had employed the same cure, (re-direct if calling the folder and hide after re-writing it) but I never got the order right on my own. Thus I kept seeing the page not found errors too. Below is my attempt to explain the actions, for my own learning, hopefully others too.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /fitnessquiz.co.uk/
Is asking the question, does THE_REQUEST contain the subfolder you need to hide?
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fitnessquiz.co.uk$
Checks if the request is for the correct host.
RewriteRule ^fitnessquiz.co.uk/(.*) /$1 [L,R=301]
Rewrite the URL as one without the subfolder and call the new link in the redirected browser. Note:
L : Last step. Stop processing other rules
R=301 : After re-writing, redirect the browser to the new URL.
When the page is redirected it has no subfolder so the first RewriteRule is skipped. And then
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?fitnessquiz.co.uk$
checks if calling the right host. And then
RewriteRule !^fitnessquiz.co.uk/ fitnessquiz.co.uk%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
rewrites the url that has not the subfolder to use the correct subfolder without redirecting the page, and while hiding actual subfolder from the browser. Again note:
L : Last step. Stop processing other rules
If want to redirect all non-www requests to my site to the www version. All I need to do is add the following code to my .htaccess file.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder
RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
The problem is that when I write for example mydomain.com/products-1 (hidden URL for mydomain.com/products?category=1), all parameters become visible, even though they are specified on the .htaccess file, and I get an output url (after the redirect) of www.mydomain.com/products-1?category=1
How can I fix this? Is there any kind of problems with the .htaccess code above?
Try Changing your RewriteRule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subfolder
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I prefer this because it will catch all *.domain.com. If that is not what you want, then use your original HTTP_HOST rule.
If my logic is working this morning, this rule should rewrite any requests that do not match:
www.example.com
and do not contain
/subfolder
to
www.domain.com/URI
I have [maybe] an unusual setup:
I have 1 storage/root folder with several domain and subdomains all
pointing to the same folder.
I then create a subfolder for each domain or subdomain and us
.htaccess to redirect the domain to the correct folder/files
Below is a working example of how i do this
# Domain1.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^spain\.domain1\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /spain/$1 [L]
This all works fine, HOWEVER:
If a user goes to doamin1.com/spain, they are of course presented with all files in that folder...
SO, i try to add a redirect just on the domain1.com/spain... yet this does not work... i have tried everything. including trying the redirect for the root .htaccess and the spain/.htaccess. Neither work.
I am trying the below (does not work)
# Domain1.com/spain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com/spain/ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/? [L]
I have tried may variations of the above, but none seem to work (at all)
However the RedirectMatch does work (below) but also breaks the above subdomain (in the first example).
RedirectMatch ^/spain/$ /
if i try to match on more and add the RedirectMatch as (below) this then does not trigger the match...
RedirectMatch ^www\.domain1\.com/spain/$ /
I know what i need to do is possible (i think and assume), but im banging my head on walls here.....
PLEASE advise and of course thank you!!!
This is not correct:
# Domain1.com/spain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com/spain/ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/? [L]
Because that last part (/spain) is NEVER part of the HTTP_HOST so it will never match :)
What you want to do is something like this
# Domain1.com/spain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^spain(.*)$ http://www.domain1.com/? [R=302,NC,L]
In other words, to move the /spain part of the URL in RewriteRule where it is actually being matched and keep the domain name match in RewriteCond above.
I am working on the htaccess file for my mvc site. The software that the company purchased for the site works only without the www, so I was able to fix up the htaccess to allow www in the URL since most of our affiliates are going to try to use it anyway. However, this renders the siteurl.org/index.php/admin and the siteurl.org/index.php/members unreachable. I'm trying to exclude these URL's from the www forward to non-www but everything I know and can find seems to relate to non-MVC sites, and it seems that mvc sites are set up differently across the board so the examples I'm finding aren't working for me.
Here's my current htaccess (I had to comment out the forwarding lines to allow admins to access the admin section and affiliates to access the member section)
<Files ~ "serial.txt$">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^aff/(.*)$ /index.php/aff/?aff=$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [R=301,NC]
If it could be addressed at the same time, I'd also love a pointer on how to clean up that URL so that we could type in siteurl.org/admin as opposed to siteurl.org/index.php/admin (same for members), and also to show the affiliate name in the URL (it's currently cleaning up the URL to remove the /aff/affiliateusername but affiliates would like to see their name in the URL). If anybody has a great link to specific resources on writing htaccess for MVC I would be eternally grateful. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Let's be clear on three things before going into explanations:
Apache doesn't have a care in the world whether your site is built on the MVC approach/design pattern or not. It. Doesn't. Even. See. It. To it, it sees htaccess mod_rewrite rules.
Whoever puts a serial code in serial.txt on the root is just begging for it to get nicked using a file include vulnerability in PHP.
This is suspiciously similar to CodeIgniter in rewrite rules.
Now. Your rules:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
This rule will match only if the http host does not start with www. . If this is true, then it'll redirect to the http ://www. version.
Based on your description, you want the opposite: Your CMS does not work with www.. So, you will want this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain/$1 [R=302, L]
Note that you'll need to hardcode your domain in there. Sucks.
Next set of rules:
RewriteRule ^aff/(.*)$ /index.php/aff/?aff=$1 [R,L]
This is bog-standard - redirects aff/whatever to /index.php/aff/?aff=$1
For the future, change it to this:
RewriteRule ^aff/(.*)$ /index.php?/aff/?aff=$1 [L]
This will clean up the URL and prevent an Apache rewrite cycle.
Next one:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [R=301,NC]
These will wildcard-match anything that does not exist. Same thing as before, change the last line to this:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?$1 [L]
This will, again, make the rewrite transparent.
P.S: get a real CMS developer. 301s are hardly useful.
