I have implemented a mod rewrite condition as shown below. Basically I want everyone other than me (from the stated IP address) to be redirected to a certain page on my site. That part works but these directives end up causing endless redirects and the browser times-out.
What might a RewriteCond directive look like to test the page /index.html and not do anymore rewrites if the page is https://example.com/index.html?
# 2016-03-18 redirect everyone except listed IPs
# 123.456.789.012 = my static Work Office address
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(123\.456\.789\.012)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/index.html [R=302,L]
You have to exclude the destination you are redirecting to :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^(123\.456\.789\.012)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/index.html [R=302,L]
Otherwise you will get a redirect loop error because index.htm also matches the pattern ^(.*)$ .

Google discovered that I'm allowing end users to navigate my content using ajax loading, and is loading my pages as a user client rather than requesting them as new page loads. So instead of trying to index www.mysite.com/page, it's requesting www.mysite.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/page
Which is not at all what I want it to do. My snapshots are served at the same URL as the ajax-loaded content. The site is not using queries, it's not supporting them and I don't want to build that support. This means that all the pages look broken to google which of course is unfortunate!
Currently all page requests are redirected server side using .htaccess sending requests to the index.php file which in turn compiles the html doc on the server before serving to the client. The site serves perfectly valid and unique html documents for all pages. But google insists on doing it the ajax way and adding the query which always returns a broken page.
I'm not a .htaccess expert, but it seems to me that the easiest way to solve this would be to rewrite the request, remove the ?_escaped_fragment_=/ bit and permanently redirect any such requests to what currently works which is to load the pages using their correct url's.
Anyone know how I would go about doing that? Below is the current redirect part of my .htaccess file which needs to be amended with the _escaped_fragment_ stripping code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#if trailing / remove it with a permanent redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
#if missing www. add it with a permanent redirect
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
#requests for index.php never rewritten
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
#if file or directory are missing, route to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
This is how I rewrote it so that all ?_escaped_fragment_=/XXXXX requests got redirected to /XXXXX without the query
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_escaped_fragment_=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%1? [L,R=301]
This makes www.domain.com/?_escaped_fragment_=/somepage redirect (permanently) to www.domain.com/somepage
...which is just what I wanted.
I would like to have two different redirects; one redirection if a user accesses an index.php-file on my apache-server and one redirection after a user enters a particular url.
So my index.php file lies in "/client/frontend/questionnaire"-folder on my apache. If a user enters "www.test-domain.com" he or she should be redirected to the index.php - file on the server.
The second redirection should be processed if a user enters "www.test-domain.com/news". Then he or she should be redirected to "www.test-domain.com/client/frontend/app/index.php/article-one".
I managed to create the first rewrite rule like this:
Options -Indexes
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ client/frontend/questionnaire/index.php [L]
But I do not know how to create the second rule.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks!
You have to use multiple RewriteCond+RewriteRule. See the mod_rewrite introduction and then the reference documentation (all is explain).
Just the RewriteRule actually rewrite the current request. To execute it, all RewriteCond before must be true.
Samples from the documentation:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^10\.2\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://intranet.example.com$1
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^host1 [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^host2 [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^host3
RewriteRule ...some special stuff for any of these hosts...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (iPhone|Blackberry|Android)
RewriteRule ^/$ /homepage.mobile.html [L]
I have a domain, where everything except image\css etc. are handled by a single php file. However after a reorganisation, alot of images have been moved from sub-domains to the main domain. So I'm looking for a way to redirect all image\css files to the main domain if they were originally on one of the sub-domains. My current code is
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|\.jpeg|\.ico|\.bmp|\.css|\.ts|\.js)$
RewriteRule !^index\.php$ /index.php [L]
I've tried a couple of ways to redirect it, but I seem to break on of the existing rules, whatever I try.
Thanks
The final solution I came up with
RewriteEngine On
# Check the request isn't for the main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.com$
# Check the request is for a static resource
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg|ico|bmp|css|ts|js)$
# Redirect to main domain
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain\.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# if the request isn't for index.php,
# (invisibly) redirect to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.png|\.jpg|\.gif|\.jpeg|\.ico|\.bmp|\.css|\.ts|\.js)$
RewriteRule !^index\.php$ /index.php [L]
For information only. As really the credit goes to jon for the answer I just tweaked it for my needs.
If the URLs in your HTML still point to the subdomains, you'll need to setup htaccess redirects on those subdomains, not on the main domain, as the requests will still be going to the subdomains.
For example in /var/www/vhosts/sub.domain.com/httpdocs/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg|ico|bmp|css|ts|js)$
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
And in /var/www/vhosts/sub2.domain.com/httpdocs/.htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg|ico|bmp|css|ts|js)$
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
UPDATE
Based on your comment that Apache handles each subdomain as if it were the main one, try this:
RewriteEngine On
# Check the request isn't for the main domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !(www\.)?domain\.com$
# Check the request is for a static resource
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg|ico|bmp|css|ts|js)$
# Redirect to main domain
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I am looking for a way to create a short URL path for a longer URL on my page
the long url is: domain.com/tagcloud/user.html?t=1234ABCD
i would like to offer a short version of the URL to easy access it:
domain.com/t/1234ABCD
I tried a few examples but I just don't get it how I could forward these rules.
RewriteRule ^(.*)/t/$ /tagcloud/user.html?t=$1 [L]
I am also using MODX so they already use rules.
in addition my htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Always use www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
I must keep the code snippets above in my htaccess file. The first one simply forwards http://domain.com requests to www.domain.com
The friendly URLs part is needed to translate the internal IDs of my CMS with the alias of the URL. This feature must remain because the entire site cannot be influencted by the changes I try to make in htaccess...
I simply would like to add a listener that only if the URL matches www.domain.com/t/abcd1234
Therefore I need something that identifies the www.domain.com/t/ URL
your help is much appreciated
Try this:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/t/.*
RewriteRule ^t/(.*)$ /tagcloud/user.html?t=$1 [R=301,L]
I've been working on creating seo friendly urls for my site and have done this successfully with the following rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
#redirect non www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
# Redirect any request with page=var to /var/ format
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(.+[^/])$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.cfm$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/%1/? [R=301,L,NC]
# If not an existing file or directory rewrite any request
# to page var.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])/$ index.cfm?page=$1 [QSA,L]
My problem is that because of the last rule (I think), any root dir request is made into a friendly url such as /pagethatdoesntpointanywhere/ whether it points anywhere or not. Now I'd be happy with a 404 but it's not doing that it's just displaying the homepage.
I've also tried adding a blanket 404 rule:
# 404 files that don't exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .+ /notfound.html [R=404,L,NC]
But that makes all of the friendly urls 404s as well.
Could someone explain where I am going wrong here please?
Use ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.cfm to display not found error page when Apache cannot find the file (replace notfound.cfm by your file).
In index.cfm, if value of page parameter is unknown (e.g. pagethatdoesntpointanywhere), display 404 error page (use the same/similar code as notfound.cfm). It is the right place to do considering your rewrite rules and the fact that you checking which page to display here anyway. Lots of products/frameworks work in similar fashion (for example: WordPress).
Use both #1 and #2. Number #2 will work for 1-folder deep URLs (e.g /meow/) while #1 will catch any other URLs (e.f. /meow/kitten/ or /meow/wuf/oink.css).
