FAQ: mod_rewrite, 301 redirects, and optimizing Apache.

I am having a lot of issues redirecting referralls from www.thereferrers-site.com.au site to a specific page tailored for visitors from that referred site, for arguments sake lets call that page www.mysite.com.au/thereferrers/pageforthem.html

Is there an easy way to do this with .htaccess, all the scripts I have tried dont work or break my site (dont know if this has anything to do with regular expressions needed for .com.au tld's that I might be failing to add?)

 

It's a very useful post. Thanks for provide us such a well organized information.

 

Hi All

I am facing problem with redirect

www.nagesh.com/ --> This is redirecting to correct page www.venkata.com/en_US/home/pages/home.jsp


But when I give

www.nagesh.com/blabla --> www.venkata.com/en_US/home/home.jspblabla


Where I am going wrong ?
Can anyone Please suggest !

Thanks In advance !

remove $1 from rewrite rule and you allways will be redirected to home.jsp without blabla

 

I am trying to get rid of the www. redirect when directing to https:// I tried with mod_rewrite but this is causing some errors. Is there any other way this could be setup already I need to remove?

 

Is the following RewriteCond valid syntax for Apache 2.4?

RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond "%{HTTP_ACCEPT}" "application/xrpl-mainnet\+json"
    RewriteRule ^(.+) /.pay/$1.json [L]

Code (ApacheConf):

I'm sure the RewriteRule itself is correct because I tested it here: https://htaccess.madewithlove.be/
The rule maps https://example.com/alice to https://example.com/.pay/alice.json in the tester, but when I deploy the rule in my server <VirtualHost> I get a 404 for alice.json when interacting with a protocol. Strangely, https://example.com/.pay/alice.json can be loaded in a web browser.

 

Ignore the post immediately above. It was another issue causing the problem.

 

Hello,

I want to change the site address from http://example.com to http://example.com/here without affecting any another rules and adresses. In the other word when someone type "http://example.com" should be redirect to "http://example.com/here" but if someone will use address like http://example.com/images/houses/picture1.jpg that anothre addresses and rules should works as before.

For some reasons rules like
RewriteRule ^$ /here [R=301,L] do not works correctly. Any ideas how I can achieve what I want?
