Redirecting error using .htaccess - redirect

rewriting the url RewriteRule ^about/ /about.php [L,R=301] but the page is accessed via /about.php directly also. Please help to how to redirect .php file


Replace your code with this code:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+about\.php\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /about/ [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^about/?$ /about.php [L,NC]


You can use this free .htaccess Redirect Generator:
http://htaccessredirect.net/
with this tool you can easily create your redirection code for .htaccess.


You can use rule to hidden redirect:
#use [L] to hidden [R] to shown redirect
RewriteRule ^(about|faq|home)/?$ $1.php [L]
#to prevent access from about.php simply do this:
RewriteRule (.+)\.php$ $1/ [R=301]
#you need to know 301 redirect will be cached with browser for long time
#so if you change rule - will be no effect for some visitors

Apache2: Redirect to higher page and cut everything after ? (questionmark)

I need to redirect
www.example.com/members/?name=bla&test=dgdg
www.example.com/members/?anything=any&test=dgdg
permanently to
www.example.com/members/
within a VirtualHost configuration of Apache.
I tried
RedirectMatch ^members/\?(.*) www.example.com/members
RedirectMatch ^members/(.+) www.example.com/members
or
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/members/(.+) www.example.com/members [R=301]
But nothing seems to be working.
Thanks for your help in advance.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule ^/members/ /member/ [R=301,L,QSD]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$ checks whether QUERY_STRING is empty, QSD removes QUERY_STRING on redirect.

Why are my forms not working after .htaccess URL rewrite?

I copied the below code from some other posts. It successfully helped me to stripped the .php extension from the URL. However, after implementing this, my forms are no longer working. I have forms that are posting like <form method='post' action='login.php' .... Now it is not sending the data to the location when I submit the form. I realize that if I change the action='login.php' to action='login', the forms will work again. But there are a number of pages that contain forms posting to different locations in my website, and I do not want to change so many of them manually. So I wouold like to know why the data are not posting as expected and how can I solve the problem. Thank you!
RewriteEngine On
# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://localhost/domainname/$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://localhost/domainname/$1 [R=301,L]
# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://localhost/domainname/$1 [R=301,L]
# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]

Add this rule on top before other rules to skip all POST requests from rewrite:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =POST
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

I want to redirect user_login.php to seo friendly url like /user-login with post form data and this worked for me.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/user_login\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ user-login [QSA,R=301]
RewriteRule ^user-login$ user_login.php [QSA,L]
In view file
<form action="<?php $siteurl;?>/user-login" method="post" id="user_login">

Disable mod_rewrite on index

This is my mod_rewrite code:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
# ————————————————————————-
# > URL REWRITING
# ————————————————————————-
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/diario$ hotsite/diary.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/recados$ hotsite/messages.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/fotos$ hotsite/photos.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/videos$ hotsite/videos.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/contato$ hotsite/contact.php
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9._\-]+)$ hotsite/index.php [L]
It works just like facebook profiles. Whenever I type "mywebsite.com/user.name" it goes to that user page. I can also type "mywebsite.com/user.name/videos" to go to a specific page in the user profile.
However, I can't access "mywebsite.com" anymore, because it redirects to "mywebsite.com/hotsite/index.php". How can I disable this behavior and leave the redirects only when someone types a user name at the end?
Thank you very much.

The RewriteCondition(s) only affect the RewriteRule that comes immediately after that. So, to stop redirecting htp://mywebsite.com/aDirThatExists like http://mywebsite.com/aboutUs you need to repeat the rewrite conditions as
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d # if not a directory
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f # and not a file
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9._\-]+)$ hotsite/index.php [L]
This, however, should not affect a root URL request i.e. http://mywebsite.com/ because your regex clearly matches one or more characters after / because of the []+ plus sign.

Redirect URL which contains "option=com_virtuemart"

I want to 301 redirect some URLs which contain "option=com_virtuemart".

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
But it doesn't work.

The code is working, but the server is disabled htaccess controll..

How do I use .htaccess to force www. while using Zend Framework

I want to force a www. prefix on my website by using a .htaccess 301 redirect. I am currently trying:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
Which normally works, but I am using Zend Framework which causes all requests to be redirected back to http://www.mysite.com/index.php regardless of the initial request.
For example...
http://mysite.com/blog,
http://mysite.com/contact,
http://mysite.com/blog/this-is-my-article,
Will all be redirected to http://www.mysite.com/index.php
However, if I initially request a specific file, such as...
http://mysite.com/some-file.htm
The redirect works properly, redirecting to http://www.mysite.com/some-file.htm

In first time, don't forget to enable the rewriting ("RewriteEngine on").
The last line is important if you use Zend Framework.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule !\.(pdf|php|js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css|rss|zip|tar\.gz)$ index.php
Now the url...
http://mysite.com/some-file.htm
... redirect to http://www.mysite.com/some-file.htm but use the index.php

Don't forget to ignore sub-domains when re-directing to www.
