I have a website (built in ruby with .erb extensions) with mixed content (like a Wistia video) and so want to have that URL as http://domain.com.
However, when users click on "register," I want to direct them to an EV SSL-encrypted https://subdomain.domain.com/register folder.
Both of the above URLs work just fine, and the https URL displays the green EV SSL properly.
BUT, if in the low-probability event a user were to type "http://*/register" into his browser's address bar, that goes to the same /register page and allows him to register on that non-encrypted page. I really do not want that to happen.
I want to redirect anyone who tries to access the /register file via http to only the EV SSL-encrypted one, that is: https://*/register
sorry for using * wildcard, but I can only post 2 links.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS on an apache2 server and generally modify via ssh on my Mac's Terminal app.
Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^subdomain\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^register(/.*)?$ https://subdomain.domain.com/register$1 [L,NC,R=301]
Thanks for replying so quickly, Anu. That may have worked, but Rackspace support used a 301 redirect in a .conf file, and it definitely worked:
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/domain.com.conf:5
==================================
redirect 301 /register https://subdomain.domain.com/register

I am trying to do 301 redirect in my herokuapp. How can I do it. I have used <link rel="canonical" href="http://mysite.herokuapp.com">. And I have also used this tag for every page with the url of the page. Still I failed to fix 301 redirections problem in my heroku website.
With url http://mysite.herokuapp.com website is working but with url
www.http://mysite.herokuapp.com it shows
This site can’t be reached
Yoast seo shows this message
"Warning, no 301 redirects are in place to redirect traffic to your
preferred domain. Pages that load successfully both with and without
www. are treated as duplicate content! "
For this problem my website is not indexing in google, I think. How can i show my website in google search.
Note: I have submitted my website to google search console and verified it.
Please help me to solve this problem.
You will want to use something called htaccess
There should be a file in the root of your web directory called ".htaccess" If not create one.
You want a rule something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mysite.herokuapp.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite.herokuapp.com/$1 [L,R=301]
This should redirect www traffic to a none www prefix
I'm trying to deploy my own Dynamic DNS service at Dreamhost and following some guides managed to get the server side functioning perfectly - when I open a url the DNS A record for a subdomain gets updated.
But when I place the data on the router and try to make it work (following the standards at dyndns or no-ip) the router fails to update.
Here's what I have:
1. Server side works as I expected.
2. Router works when using the default services (tested with no-ip) to update IP.
3. If I fail the authentication on my server, then router throws an auth failed error - it's accessing the server and authenticating.
4. Tried logging to see if at any point the script is even accessed, and it's not.
So I think the router is requesting a url that is different than I expect. I tried with /, white /update/ and with /nic/update/
At this point I wanted to see what the router is actually requesting. Fired up XAMPP, installed Wireshark, and tried to set the router to update my own computer. Found the requests and found a 301 response since the router is asking for /nic/update? and I have it on /nic/update/?.
Browser handles this redirect transparently but the router seems to not be requesting the new url. Might need to mess with mod_rewrite?
As suspected, the router was taking the redirect as a bad reply.
After messing around with mod_rewrite I got it to work.
Used this:
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
#
# If the requested path and file is not /index.php and the request
# has not already been internally rewritten to the index.php script
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script
RewriteRule .* index.cgi [L]
I have provided a link from my web site in my andoird app which is:
www.mysite.com/support
And i want this link to be redirected to:
www.anothersite.com
i have already tried com_redirect and entered support as source and http://ww.anothersite.com but i dont get any redirects and i get 404 error.
I am running Joomla 3.x and i want to know how i can do this with URL rewrites and no external components.
It seems not possible to do it within the Joomla backend (i tried many combination of menu items and the redirect module).
For sure you can write your redirect directly in your .htaccess (if you are using it) like this:
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^support/?$ http://www.anothersite.com/ [R=301,NC,L] # Permanent Move
or
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteRule ^support/?$ http://www.anothersite.com [R,NC,L] # Temporary Move

I'd like to redirect any image that is viewed directly to a handler page:
if http:// mysite.com/pics/filename.jpg (or www.)is in the URL
then redirect to http:// mysite.com/pics/index.php?img=filename.jpg (no www)
But if the image is being called by a webpage or a mobile html5 app anywhere then it should be served per normal.
So if mypage.html contains an img tag with the direct photo in it it will be shown in that page. But if http:// mysite.com/pics/filename.jpg is the url then it should redirect. In other words if the file is being viewed directly it should redirect to the wrapper page, but if it's already in a wrapper page (anywhere) it shouldn't redirect.
I've seen various redirect code but none that that references the visible url for the if statement, so I don't know how to do this. And the ones I've found and tried don't work, either redirecting all requests, or not doing anything
Thanks!
This will take care of people hotlinking to images on your site for you:-
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ([^/]+)\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ pics/index.php?img=$1.$2 [NC,L,R]
As for your mobile HTML5 app you are going to need some other way to identify it to your web server. So you are going to have to see what referer that says it is when it is asking for images. It should be pretty easy for you to write a PHP script to tell you that, then you just need to add to the above code to include that.

I'm trying to make an address redirect to another one without actually changing the URL in the browser address bar.
User go to /path/page.php and see what is displayed on /path/index.php.
In the address bar the URL remains /path/page.php.
This is the code for the redirection:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule page.php index.php [NC]
I'm wondering if I need to use [P] for this task :/
[P] is a proxy flag, you need it only for silent redirection to another domain or web-server (in this case Apache works like HTTP proxy). In your case page.php and index.php reside on the same server, so [P] flag is useless.
