I would like to take a url at my site:
http://mysite.com/jk/drawing
but operationally drop the "jk" dir and have my users see this:
http://mysite.com/drawing
Is this possible? If so can someone give me an example of how it is done?
thanks,
The first thing you need to do is go and change all of your links from looking like this: http://mysite.com/jk/drawing to looking like this: http://mysite.com/drawing. Without doing this, people will still see all the /jk/ URLs everywhere, the only thing you can do about it is to make sure you've changed all your links. Then add these rules to the htaccess file in your document root:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/jk/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /jk/$1 [L]
In order to correct for all the links still pointing to /jk/ that you don't have any control over:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /jk/([^\ ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]

I am trying to redirect all requests coming in to the web server as http://portal.company.com/legacy to http://portal.company.com/wps/portal/public/legacy/legacyportlet with the following rule, but it is not working as expected.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^portal\.company\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/legacy$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wps/portal/public/legacy/legacyportlet$1 [NC,L,PT]
I have also tried
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^portal\.company\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/legacy /wps/portal/public/legacy/legacyportlet [NC,L,PT]
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
It doesn't look like your source or target URLs change in any way, so possibly you're better off using Apache's basic Redirect directive which just redirects one URL to another.
Use this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^portal\.company\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^legacy/?$ /wps/portal/public/legacy/legacyportlet [NC,L]
Remember that in .htaccess RewriteRule doesn't match leading slash of URI.
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=$1 [R=301,L]
Before changing something in my .htaccess links looked like this:
http://www.domain.tld/index.php
http://www.domain.tld/index.php?page=start
http://www.domain.tld/index.php?page=blog
Now I made a .htaccess with this code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php / [R,L,QSA]
Now the the links above looks like this in the browser address bar:
http://www.domain.tld
http://www.domain.tld/?page=start
http://www.domain.tld/?page=blog
That's nearly what I want, but how can I make it look like this?
http://www.domain.tld
http://www.domain.tld/start
http://www.domain.tld/blog
I tried so many different things, but mod_rewriting is not my intensity, yet.
I also want that search engines like Google uses the new URL (SEO).
Here's the solution to change links from http://www.domain.tld/index.php?page=blog to http://www.domain.tld/blog is:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^\w+$ index.php?page=$0 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} index\.php
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=(\w+)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1? [R=301,L]
and for links like: http://www.domain.tld/index.php?page=single_news&id=1&headline=This%20Is%20A%Headline
the solution is:
RewriteRule ^blog/(\d+)-([\w-]+)$ index.php?page=single_news&id=$1&headline=$2
After using this code, links looks like this: http://www.domain.tld/blog/2-this-is-a-headline
I'm changing all my subdomains to a single domains.
However, in order no to lose all my SEO I need to do some 301 redirections. My problem is that I have about 10.000 subdomains (it's a website about cities and each city is a subdomain) so I need to make a generic rewrite rule in order to make the new URLs (otherwise my htaccess will be too big).
I tried doing it myself but for some reason, it's doing what it wants to (so I guess I'm doing something wrong). Here is my code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com/b/^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://domain.com/city/$1/b/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://domain.com/?multi_city=$1 [R=301,L]
This is what happens with these two rules.
city.domain.com --> domain.com/?multi_city=/
city.domain.com/b/place --> domain.com/?multi_city=/b/place
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
So, after many hours, I finally fixed it doing this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.(.*)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/b
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.%2/city/%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.(.*)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/event
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.%2/city/%1/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.mydomain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mydomain.com/?multi_city=%1 [R=301,L]
This way I can redirect places and events first and if the URL is not in that format then it will go to the different format URL. It's probably not the most efficient solution but it works for me. Hope this helps to someone else.
I think the first RewriteCond it's wrong:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com/b/^(.*)
The '^' symbol says that the string start, it's not part of the group, so I think that you will try:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com/b/(.*)
Maybe, it will be better:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.com/b/([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)
I'm doing it without testing, if it doesn't work I will make tests later and I'll answer you.
I have a sight that is of the following form:
nested_subdomain1.nested_subdomain2.domain.com
It might be something like test.users.domain.com and I would like to be able to rewrite this URL to something like test.users.domain2.com.
So far, my luck has not proven well and I have not been able to successfully implement a working solution from examples found online. I have tried some things like the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://domain2.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Or this one...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^fully\.qualified\.domain\.name$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1 [L,R]
I am not sure what I am doing wrong and feel like I am missing something really obvious.
Try this
#match anything1.anything2.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+\.[^.]+)\.domain\.com$ [NC]
#redirect to anything1.anything2.domain2.com
RewriteRule ^ http://%1.domain2.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$
RewriteRule (*.).mydomain.com mydomain.com/$1
This will trasnfer xx.yy.mydomain.com to mydomain.com/xx.yy
To replace with slashes, try
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$
RewriteRule (*.\.).mydomain.com mydomain.com/$1/$2/$3
To transfer to another domain ,try
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} domain\.com$
RewriteRule (*.).mydomain.com $1.mydomain.com [R=301,L]
This will transfer the subdomains upto a level of three. Frankly, you will have to analyze the host in your index.php to determine which subdomain is caled, so might as well use the first one
