Just curious if anyone can help me on this HTACCESS issue.
I have these OLD URLS that need to get forwarded properly.
Previous structure
domain.com/Canada/Accounting
domain.com/Canada/Trades
domain.com/Canada/Sales
Proper structure
CATEGORY - /jobs/accounting-jobs
LOCATION - /jobs/jobs-kelowna
TOGETHER - /jobs/accounting-jobs-kelowna
Domain Structure
domain.com/jobs/[category]-jobs-[location]
Is this possible, either by HTACCES or PHP...just don't want these 404'ed pages.
I have 86+ to do, if there is a good way to forward these.
This is what I have, but i'm unable to successfully forward the bad-urls properly.
OLD
/browse
/Toronto/
/Canada/Administrative
/Vancouver/
/Canada/Trades
/Calgary/
/Canada/Hospitality
This is my HTACCESS right now.

To 301 redirect your pages you can do something like:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/(\w+)$ /jobs/$2-jobs-$1 [R=301,L]
This only addresses the urls from your previous structure (the combinations, you have not shown any previous urls with just location or category) but note that Canada will stay Canada, it does not become canada. You can change everything to lower case using rewrite as well.
You also have to take care that you don't rewrite any of the current urls but without more information, this should do it.
Edit: For the location-only urls you could use a rule like:
RewriteRule ^(\w+)/$ /jobs/jobs-$1 [R=301,L]
Again, you need to look out that your rewrite rule does not interfere with your current urls. If that is the case, you would need to redirect every old url manually.
For lower-case new urls, you should search SO, there are some questions with good answers about converting a mized-case variable to lower-case.
If you have mod_rewrite, you can add these lines to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^Canada/Accounting$ /jobs/accounting-jobs [R,L]
However, it's not clear from your question exactly what you want mapped. Are the 3 previous URLs supposed to redirect to the 3 new ones? They don't seem to be equivalent.

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=$1 [R=301,L]
I need to deny access to the whole site for everyone except some IPs.
Also, I need to permit access to one folder of site for everyone:
Options +FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
RewriteEngine on
# Allow access only for devs
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !10.10.10.10 [NC] # First dev id
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !11.11.11.11 [NC] # Second dev id
# Allow direct access to files
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# Redirecting guests
RewriteRule (.*) /coming/soon/index.html [R=307]
# But where to place this condition?
RewriteRule ^/?preview/?$ /preview/index.html [NC]
# Other rules for main site structure
# ...
So, I need the whole site loading only for devs. Other users (guests) will see the /coming/soon/ page
And also guests are allowed to see /preview/ page of the site.
How to do this?
If your /preview/ rewrite is suitable for all users and does not depend on subsequent rewrite rules, the simplest way is to put this RewriteRule first with the [L] flag, so that subsequent rewrites will not be applied.
Otherwise, exceptions for RewriteRule may be specified as RewriteCond matching with %{REQUEST_URI}:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?preview/?$ [NC]
Also note that your suggested rule would rewrite both /preview and /preview/ into /preview/index.html, and the first of these rewrites may break relative links unless a redirect is performed.
I'm attempting my first pretty url implementation via mod_rewrite. Just want to check if I'm on the right track. I'm doing it via dev environment.
I'm trying to get www.cysticlife.dev/Profile.php?id=34 to become www.cysticlife.dev/34/Profile
Would the regex mod_rewrite version then be:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/?/Profile$ www.cysticlife.dev/Profile.php?id=$1 [L]
Thanks in advance.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/Profile/index.html$ /$1/Profile [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/Profile/$ /$1/Profile [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/Profile$ www.cysticlife.dev/Profile.php?id=$1 [L]
The "?/" wasn't needed.
The lines I added makes both www.cysticlife.dev/34/Profile, www.cysticlife.dev/34/Profile*/* and www.cysticlife.dev/34/Profile*/index.html* work (with a 301 "Permanently moved" redirection so only one of the three urls is indexed by search engines).
Sidenote: You don't need to specify the full url for your rewrite. You could easily replace the last one with:
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)/Profile$ www.cysticlife.dev/Profile.php?id=$1 [L]
is possible to exclude a url being parsed by mod rewrite?
my .htaccess has rewrite rules like
RewriteRule ^contact contact_us.php
and a couple more static pages.
currently my site don't have troubles cause uses http://domain.com/user.php?user=username
but now i need rewrite to:
http://domain.com/username
I've tried with:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ user.php?user=$1 [L]
but all my site stops working...
is possible to avoid parse my static pages like contact/feed/etc being treated like usernames?
edit to match david req:
this is my actual .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
Options +Followsymlinks
RewriteRule ^contact contact_us.php [L]
RewriteRule ^terms terms_of_use.php [L]
RewriteRule ^register register.php [L]
RewriteRule ^login login.php [L]
RewriteRule ^logout logout.php [L]
RewriteRule ^posts/(.*)/(.*) viewupdates.php?username=$1&page=$2
RewriteRule ^post(.*)/([0-9]*)$ viewupdate.php?title=$1&id=$2
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ profile.php?username=$1 [L]
also i've enabled modrewrite log my first file:http://pastie.org/1044881
Put the rewrite rules for the static pages first, and add the [L] flag to them:
RewriteRule ^contact contact_us.php [L]
...
then after those, use your rewrite rule for the username:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ user.php?user=$1 [L]
(hopefully nobody has a username of contact).
EDIT: Based on the log output you posted (which I'm assuming corresponds to an unsuccessful attempt to access the contact page... right?), try changing the contact rewrite rule to either
RewriteRule ^contact$ contact_us.php [L]
or
RewriteRule ^contact contact_us.php [L,NS]
That is, either add $ to make the pattern match only the literal URL contact, or add the NS flag to keep it from applying to subrequests. According to the log output, what seems to have happened is that Apache rewrites contact to contact_us.php and then does an internal subrequest for that new URL. So far so good. The weird thing is that the ^contact pattern again matches contact_us.php, "transforming" it to contact_us.php, i.e. the same thing, which Apache interprets as a signal that it should ignore the rule entirely. Now, I would think Apache would have the sense to ignore the rule only on the subrequest, but I'm not sure if it's ignoring the entire rewriting process and leaving the original URL, /contact, as is. If that's the case, making one of the changes I suggested should fix it.
EDIT 2: your rewrite log excerpt reminded me of something: I'd suggest making the rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ user.php?user=$1 [L]
since slashes shouldn't be occurring in any usernames. (Right?) Or you could do
RewriteRule ^(\w+)$ user.php?user=$1 [L]
if usernames can only include word characters (letters, numbers, and underscore). Basically, make a regular expression that matches only any sequence of characters that could be a valid username, but doesn't match URLs of images or CSS/JS files.
The -f and -d options to RewriteCond check if the current match is a file or directory on disk.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ....
I think this is a pretty straight forward question in mod_rewrite:
I got one domain, which needs to redirect to another, but keep any value after last slash (/) in the first URL, over to the second.
domain.com/4433 should transfer to domain.com/folder/?p=4333
Listed for clarity:
From: domain.com/4433
To: domain.com/folder/?p=4333
Any ideas?
Edit:
Did some testing, we found the following solution:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$
RewriteRule ^([0-9a-z]*)$ /folder/?p=$1 [NC]
sincerely,

In case you don't really want to redirect but to have pretty URLs, you can use
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ /folder?p=$1 [L]
This takes everything after the first slash and inserts it at the $1 - but only if there's something after the slash. It doesn't issue a redirect so the users won't notice.
Without any further information, try this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)$ /folder/?p=$1
If you want to use the rule in a .htaccess file, remove the leading slashes.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ domain.com/folder?p=$1 [R=301,L]
Just in case: domain.com = domain1.com and domain2.com? domain1.com should be redirected to domain2.com? Both run on the same server (optional)?
[EDIT:]
If you really only want to do the thing as stated in the comment, then do the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.com$
RewriteRule ^4433$ http://domain2.com/folder/?p=4433 [R=301,L]
Else, as Benedikt Eger said, or with R=301 if you want real redirection.
Or, if you want it to redirect only on numbers, then do the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain1.com$
RewriteRule ^([0-9])+$ http://domain2.com/folder/?p=$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond checks, if defined vhost is domain1.com, but not domain2.com, then the rewrite rule is applied, and redirects via HTTP status 301 [R=301] only number strings (0-9)+ consisting of at least one number to the specified URL. [L] makes this the last rule applied.
