mod_rewrite help with folder redirection

sir-lancealot · 11-21-2013, 02:01 PM

I have a new short URL registered for some ease and just having some issues as folders are involved, so looking for the re-write guru to help out in 2 lines making me feel less like a linux guy

So I have mylongdomain.com and tiny.wf (yes .wf is the suffix). So I have;

Code:

[RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} tiny\.wf [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mylongdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Works perfect. But I have 2 more rules.
I want tiny.wf/s/* to goto mylongdomain.com/folder1/?id=*

and something similar. But I am trying;

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tiny\.wf$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/s(.*)$ http://www.mylongdomain.com/folder1/?id=$1 [R,NC,L]

but it's not working. I'm sure it's something simple I am missing, but I am reading, testing and figured I would get a quick backhand here quicker.

Thanks

Maybe:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tiny\.wf$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/s/(.*)$ http://www.mylongdomain.com/folder1/?id=$1 [R,NC,L]

This stuff is not the easiest to do blind .. seeing the logs really helps, are you logging rewrites to a separate log?

Thanks. I did get it working, funny thing I was doing it in an .htaccess and since there was no /s folder, I was getting a 404 not realizing, so moved it into the vhost config and all worked.

Thanks again.
