Struggling with mod_rewrite trying to redirect a non-secure page to a secure one. This works:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (help/returns)
RewriteRule .? https://mysite.localhost/%1/ [R=301,L]
But this doesn't:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} (mysite.localhost|mylivesite.com)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (help/returns)
RewriteRule .? https://%1/%2/ [R=301,L]
The URL it tries to give me is https://help/returns//
I can't seem to get the HTTP:host into the final RewriteRule line.
I need the host in there so I can use the same file for local dev and live deployment.
Most grateful for any input.
You can use this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off
RewriteRule ^help/returns https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=301,L]
This rule will redirect all requests to http://example.com/help/returns to a secure (HTTPS) location: https://example.com/help/returns -- it will preserve full URL path + query string. You have too many conditions, rule becomes complex which is not a good thing when your server is REALLY busy (regular expressions are expensive).
I have replaced %{SERVER_PORT} 80 by more proper %{HTTPS} =off (this especially useful if your site is run on non-default port, which is 80).
I have also removed HTTP_HOST matching part -- you don't really need it unless you have more than one domain name/subdomain bound to the same site. In case if you need this condition just add this line after 1st line: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(mysite.localhost|mylivesite.com)

I use rewrite condition to redirect website always to www. my code is:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.website\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.website.com/$1 [L,R=301]
I can't found on the internet how can i do request if in url '.com' i need it because the website must be also localy accessible.
For example: i found this, but i can't understand how can i implement it with my script.
Your current RewriteCond is correct for applying www. to website.com if it is not already present. To avoid the RewriteRule happening when working on localhost, you need an additional RewriteCond to check the host.
This is because the condition !^www\.example\.com$ matches any domain except www.example.com, which includes localhost.
# Only apply other conditions if not working on localhost
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !localhost [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
You can make it a little more dynamic in case you need to work with multiple domains (example.com, example.org) and transform each to www.example.com, www.example.org:
# If not on localhost
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !localhost [NC]
# and the domain does not begin www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
# Redirect to apply the www. to HTTP_HOST
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
Use caution when testing - your browser may cache old 301 redirects. You may need to change them to R=302 during testing and clear your browser cache. When you are satisfied it works, change it back to R=301.
That RewriteCond should already work for your case, the next rule is processed only if the condition matches, so that rule is not processed for localhost.
I am using two Domains which one of them is the Main Domain (http://www.domain.com) and the second is a Domain to shorten URL's (http://doma.in)
Forwards should be like this
http://domain.com -> http://www.domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
http:// doma.in -> http:// www. domain.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^doma.in [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
http://sub.domain.com -> http://sub.domain.com (no configuration needed?!)
and now the important one
http://doma.in/VC7s98X -> should forward to its target without to be converted to http:// www.domain.com
I dont know how I can do this part.
Your second set of rules matches everything ((.*)) on the domain doma.in. To only match the bare domain without any trailing path, change the rule as follows:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^doma.in [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
That takes care of http://doma.in/VC7s98X not redirecting to http://www.domain.com. I'm assuming you have something in place to take care of http://doma.in/VC7s98X forwarding to its intended target ... if you're asking for help with that part, that's a much bigger question.
I am looking for a way to rewrite non-www-domains to www-domains, while at the same time not redirecting direct IP-requests.
I have multiple sites on the same server - that is: a default (virtual)host and one VirtualHost with a ServerName and multiple ServerAlias'es, which work perfectly. I prefer the domainnames to start with "www". So I have hacked the following code together, which works great:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
It doesn't handle https, but the biggest problem is that requests to the server-IP are also rewritten from eg. "123.45.67.8" to "www.123.45.67.8". I could add the line below to solve that:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$
... but it is it effective? And what about IPv6?
Being no mod_rewrite-wiz, I have been trying to figure out how other people have solved this problem, but with no luck.
That's because your condition is only checking if it starts with www, try this instead (I left the optional https code):
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(yourdomain|thisdomain|thatdomain)\.com
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =on
#RewriteRule .* https://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteRule .* http://www.%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
Trying,
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* - [F]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)dev\.example\.edu$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/test(.*)$ http://dev.example.edu/test/index.php/test$1 [NC]
</IfModule>
on an apache 2.2 server, to get this rewrite working to hide the "index.php/test" part of the path.
everything i've tried either loops the url part (index.php/test) within the address bar or gives a "too many redirects" error.
i suspect that the "test" part of the equation being on both sides is throwing it off but am not sure how to get it to work.
i just want:
dev.example.edu/test/index.php/test*
to rewrite to:
dev.example.edu/test/*
thanks
You need to exclude the destination path to avoid an infinite recursion:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)dev\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond $1 !^/index\.php/test/
RewriteRule ^/test/(.*)$ http://dev.example.com/test/index.php/test/$1 [NC]
Here the match of the first grouping ($1) is checked not to match ^/index\.php/test/.
But if you want to rewrite /test/index.php/test/… to /test/…, you will rather need this rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)dev\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/index\.php/test/(.*)$ http://dev.example.com/test/$1 [NC]
Per Jim at webmasterworld (thanks!)
"The [P] flag invokes a reverse-proxy request to the server at the designated URL; That is, it opens a new out-going HTTP connection and sends a request to that server. So at the very least, your configuration is twice as slow as it should be, just using the original working rule, because your server is sending itself a new request via HTTP instead of just serving the content from a non-default-mapped filepath.
It seems to me that all that's needed is an internal rewrite, so that requests for the resource at URL
http://dev.example.edu/distribution/ are served with the content generated by the script at the server filepath /distribution/index.php/distribution/"
RewriteEngine on
#
# Return 403-Forbidden response to TRACE requests
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^TRACE
RewriteRule .* - [F]
#
# Internally rewrite requests for URL-path /recreation/<anything>
# to filepath /eel/index.php/recreation/<anything>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.example\.edu [NC]
RewriteRule ^/recreation/(.*)$ /ee1/index.php/recreation/$1 [L]
#
# Internally rewrite requests for URL-path /distribution/<anything>
# to filepath /distribution/index.php/distribution/<anything>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^dev\.example\.edu [NC]
RewriteRule ^/distribution/(.*)$ /distribution/index.php/distribution/$1 [L]
So I think I was just making it more complicated than it had to be. I've removed the P flag and removed the full server address from the rewriterule.
How do i redirect a url to domain .
eg. http://www.mydomain.com/index.php=HairThing --> http://www.mydomain.com
How do i redirect a non-www to www WITHOUT a slash at end ?
eg http://mydomain.com ---> http://www.mydomain.com
See also: Hidden features of mod_rewrite
#1
RewriteRule /index.php=HairThing$ http://www.mydomain.com [R=301]
#2
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain.com
RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.com [R=301]
However, example case 1, as said by Greg, will always put the / on if it is without a uri.
mydomain.com # impossible
mydomain.com/ # possible
mydomain.com/foo #possible
mydomain.com/foo/ #possible
For your second question, the browser will always put a slash after the site name. This is because the trailing slash is required to indicate the root path of the web site.
you could use a general rule that works on every domain without having to change the name of the domain all the time. This is very helpful when you have multiple domains parked on same root.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,6} [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,6})$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%1/$1 [L,R=301]
