.htaccess redirect all pages to new domain

Which redirect rule would I use to redirect all pages under olddomain.example to be redirected to newdomain.example?

The site has a totally different structure, so I want every page under the old domain to be redirected to the new domain index page.

I thought this would do (under olddomain.example base dire开发者_如何学Pythonctory):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.example/ [R=301]

But if I navigate to olddomain.example/somepage I get redirected to newdomain.example/somepage. I am expecting a redirect only to newdomain.example without the page suffix.

How do I keep the last part out?

The below answer could potentially cause an infinite redirect loop...

Here, this one redirects everything after the domain name on the URL to the exact same copy on the new domain URL:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/ [R=301,L]

www.example.net/somepage.html?var=foo

redirects to:

www.newdomain.com

May be like this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^OLDDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://NEWDOMAIN.com [R=301,L]

Just to clarify, after removing the hosting redirect which was in the way, my original solution also works:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [R=301]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$ [NC,OR]
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$
  RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

This worked for me

I've used for my Wordpress blog this as .htaccess. It converts http://www.blah.example/asad, http://blah.example/asad, http://www.blah.example2/asad etc, to http://blah.example/asad Thanks to all other answers I figured this out.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^YOURDOMAIN\.example$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://YOURDOMAIN.example/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

There are various ways to do this and various redirects, I've listed them below:

301 (Permanent) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different URL on a permanent basis. This is the most common type of redirect and is useful in most situations. In this example, we are redirecting to the "example.com" domain:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 301 / http://example.com/

302 (Temporary) Redirect: Point an entire site to a different temporary URL. This is useful for SEO purposes when you have a temporary landing page and plan to switch back to your main landing page at a later date:

# This allows you to redirect your entire website to any other domain
Redirect 302 / http://example.com/

Redirect index.html to a specific subfolder:

# This allows you to redirect index.html to a specific subfolder
Redirect /index.html http://example.com/newdirectory/

Redirect an old file to a new file path:

# Redirect old file path to new file path
Redirect /olddirectory/oldfile.html http://example.com/newdirectory/newfile.html

Redirect to a specific index page:

# Provide Specific Index Page (Set the default handler)
DirectoryIndex index.html

If you want to redirect from some location to subdomain you can use:

Redirect 301 /Old-Location/ http://subdomain.yourdomain.com

Simple just like this and this will not carry the trailing query from URL to new domain.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule .* https://www.newdomain.com/? [R=301,L]

If the new domain you are redirecting your old site to is on a diffrent host, you can simply use a Redirect

Redirect 301 / http://newdomain.com

This will redirect all requests from olddomain to the newdomain .

Redirect directive will not work or may cause a Redirect loop if your newdomain and olddomain both are on same host, in that case you'll need to use mod-rewrite to redirect based on the requested host header.

RewriteEngine on


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^ http://newdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,L,R] 

My reputation won't allow me to comment on an answer, but I just wanted to point out that the highest rated answer here has an error:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com$1 [R=301,L]

should have a slash before the $1, so

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I tried user968421's answer and the OP's solution but the browser popped up a security error for a checkout page. I can't tell you why exactly.

Our host (Site Ground) couldn't figure it out either.

The final solution was close, but a slight tweak to user968421's answer (side note: unlike the OP, I was trying to redirect to the corresponding page, not just to the homepage so I maintained the back reference [the $1 after the domain] from user968421's answer):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) https://newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Got the tweak from this htaccess redirect generator recommended by a Host Gator article (desperate times, desperate measures, amiright?).

My solution as SymLinks did not work on my server so I used an If in my PHP.

function curPageURL() {
    $pageURL = 'http';
    if ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") {$pageURL .= "s";}
    $pageURL .= "://";
    if ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] != "80") {
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . ":" . $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    } else {
        $pageURL .= $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
    }
    return $pageURL;
}
$redirect = str_replace("www.", "", curPageURL());
$remove_http_root    = str_replace('http://', '', $redirect);
$split_url_array     = explode('/', $remove_http_root );


if($split_url_array[0] == "olddomain.com"){
    header("Location: http://www.newdomain.com/$split_url_array[1]");
    die();
}

This is a bug in older versions of apache (and thus mod_rewrite) where the path prefix was appended to the rewritten path if it got changed. See here

I think it was fixed in apache2 V2.2.12, there is a special flag you need to use which i will add here when i find it, (i think it was NP for No Path)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://newdomain.com/ [??]

From the usability point of view it would be better, if you also send the path with the request (i.e., what you have at the moment) and let your new site deal with it:

You searched for "/products".

Unfortunately this page is gone. Would you like to visit "/new_products" instead?

(and better, still, doing this automatically.)

This is obviously a lot of coding and heuristics for a larger website, but in my opinion it would pay off in terms of user satisfaction (when your carefully saved bookmark of your dream product just leads you to the front page of newdomain.com, this is frustrating.)

Try this methode to redirect all to homepage new domain, Its works for me:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.olddomain\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "https\:\/\/newdomain\.com\/" [R=301,L]

The simplest way is actually just:

Redirect 301 / http://www.newsite.com/

source: https://github.com/phanan/htaccess#redirect-an-entire-site

Use conditional redirects with Options -FollowSymLinks and AllowOverride -Options disabled by the Hoster if a few local files should be served too:

Sample .htaccess

# Redirect everything except index.html to http://foo
<FilesMatch "(?<!index\.html)$">
    Redirect 301 / http://foo/
</FilesMatch>

This example will serve local index.html and redirects all other staff to new domain.

To just swap out the domain and leave the request URI as is:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

%{REQUEST_URI} is an alias for the requested path.

R=301 is a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently

L means last rule, do not consider any more conditions.

To also adjust the request URI then do this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/subfolder/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
</IfModule>

^(.*)$ captures everything in the request path from start to the end.

$1 outputs the first captured group

QSA means Query String Appended (e.g. ?foo=bar)

The previous answers did not work for me.

I used this code. If you are using OSX make sure to use the correct format.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?OLDDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.NEWDOMAIN.com/ [R=301,L]

This may be work Properly

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
