Im trying to forward this url, but its not working - here is my code:
RewriteRule ^https://www.wsjwine.com/discovery_offer.aspx?promo=2227006$ https://www.wsjwine.com/discovery_offer_lp2.aspx?promo=2227006 [L]
With RewriteRule directive you can only test the URL path. For further tests you need to use additional RewriteCond directives.
Now if you want to rewrite every request of /discovery_offer.aspx to /discovery_offer_lp2.aspx regardless of how the query looks like, you can just use this (example for the .htaccess file in the root directory):
RewriteRule ^discovery_offer\.aspx$ discovery_offer_lp2.aspx [L]
If you don’t specify a query in the substitution, the originally requested query is automatically appended to the new one.
And if you just want to rewrite that specific URL, try this:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =www.wsjwine.com
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =promo=2227006
RewriteRule ^discovery_offer\.aspx$ discovery_offer_lp2.aspx [L]
You can't detect query strings like that. Use RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}.

I would like to redirect via a RewriteRule (mod_rewrite) enabled in httpd.conf my URL:
https://mysite.domain.tld/index_php_file.php?ab=ident_keys&ac=5GU7VBNAH45DA5
TO:
https://mysite.domain.tld/index_php_file.php?ab=ident_key_1024&ac=5GU7VBNAH45DA5
I have tried it with a number of rules without luck:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} hmysite.domain.tld
RewriteRule ^/index_php_file\.php\?ab=ident_keys&ac=$ https://hmysite.domain.tld/index_php_file.php?ab=ident_key_1024&ac= [R=301,L,QSA]
nor
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ac=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/?([a-z-0-9-_.]+)$ /$1/index_php_file.php?ab=ident_key_1024&ac=%1 [L,R=301]
seems to rewrite the URL.
Any suggestions on what I'm missing?
Thank you very much.
I found the solution, it may help someone.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ac=([A-Z0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)$ index_php_file.php?ab=ident_key_1024&ac=$1 [R=301,L]
It is enough to look for the string (containing UPPERCASE chars and numbers only) with the RewriteCond and rewrite the URL RewriteRule to the desired format and append the value of the variable from the query.
Do not forget to enable the mod_rewrite module within Apache. To take effect a restart is also necessary of course.
On my CodeIgniter site, I would like to add a specific rewrite rule, so that this url
http://www.exemple.com/cache.manifest
would rewrite to
http://www.exemple.com/controller/manifest
(because Safari 7 seems to only accept .manifest files for ApplicationCache)
So I try to add this line to my htaccess
RewriteRule ^cache.manifest$ controller/manifest
I added it before the other rewrite rules :
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^cache.manifest$ controller/manifest
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
But it returns a 404. If I change the line to
RewriteRule ^cache.manifest$ test.html
it works. So the first part on my rule is correct.
If I try to access directly to www.example.com/controller/manifest, it works to, so my url is correct.
I tried also
RewriteRule ^cache.manifest$ index.php/controller/manifest [L]
But it doesn't work either…
Any clue ?
Thanks a lot
I tried some tests on my local server and I think the following might work:
RewriteRule ^cache.manifest$ /index.php/controller/manifest [R,L]
I am not entirely sure if you need the leading "/" or "/index.php", so you
may need to experiment.
You need the [R] flag to force a redirect. In this situation, you want Apache
to look for the string cache.manifest in the URL, and then go to the CI page
controller/manifest.
It appears that you need to explicitly set the redirect.
Please let me know if this works. Good luck!
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=$1 [R=301,L]
is possible to exclude a url being parsed by mod rewrite?
my .htaccess has rewrite rules like
RewriteRule ^contact contact_us.php
and a couple more static pages.
currently my site don't have troubles cause uses http://domain.com/user.php?user=username
but now i need rewrite to:
http://domain.com/username
I've tried with:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ 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=$1 [L]
if usernames can only include word characters (letters, numbers, and underscore). Basically, make a regular expression that matches only any sequence of characters that could be a valid username, but doesn't match URLs of images or CSS/JS files.
The -f and -d options to RewriteCond check if the current match is a file or directory on disk.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ....
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/?ping.php
RewriteRule ^/\?(.*)$ ping.php?url=$1 [L]
i am trying to match any character that follows /?
www.mysite.com/?someurl.com
instead it keeps loading the index.html !
You cannot match the query string with mod_rewrite, but if you still want to pass it on, you can add %{QUERY_STRING} to the resultant url, for example
RewriteRule ^.*$ ping.php?url=%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
