.htacess rewrite not working

[Stuff4Toys]

We just combines several domains to one primary domain. Unfortunately we moved the domain with Zen-Cart domain to a new name.

I created a domain forward with .htacess and am trying to re-direct the domain index.php requests to the new domain.

The domain redirect works, but the index.php re-directs are not working.

I have:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ecabinetpro.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ecabinetpro.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.capecabinetdepot\.com\/" [R=301,L]

# Index Redirect for /index.php with no parameters
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]

# Index Redirect for /(index.php)?main_page=index(&cPath=<blank>) URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(index\.php)?\?main_page=index(&cPath=)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]

What do I need to change to make this seamless?

The last two rules should work OK as coded.

The first rule should be moved to be last. That rule could also be optimised by changing to:

# Canonical Redirect non-blank, non-www and/or appended port number to www [EXCLUDE /admin requests]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^(www\.example\.com)?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151606

Also note; escaping is needed only in patterns, not in the literal target URL.

Tried that and it isn't working. URL's like
http://www.ecabinetpro.com/index.php...dex&cPath=2_90

Should redirect to
http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/inde...dex&cPath=2_90

I have

RewriteEngine on

# Index Redirect for /index.php with no parameters
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]

# Index Redirect for /(index.php)?main_page=index(&cPath=<blank>) URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(index\.php)?\?main_page=index(&cPath=)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ecabinetpros.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ecabinetpros.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.capecabinetdepot\.com\/" [R=301,L]

# Canonical Redirect non-blank, non-www and/or appended port number to www [EXCLUDE /admin requests]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.ecabinetpro\.com)?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Even with the 404.shtml, all I get is "Link Broken"

Thanks for your advise

URLs like
http://www.ecabinetpro.com/index.php

redirect, but not full paths.

When I said

The first rule should be moved to be last. That rule could also be optimised by changing to:

it meant to replace your code with the new code. You didn't do that. You have used both pieces of code and that is why it does not work. The new code never gets to run as the prior incorrect rule runs first. Delete the bit that is no longer needed.

Additionally, in that new replacement rule

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.ecabinetpro\.com)?$

should read

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.ecabinetdepot\.com)?$

and then it will work. Note that ! means NOT; i.e. if the requested domain is not "exactly" this, then redirect.

To be clear, delete the third and sixth block of code, and edit the fourth block.

Thank You Thank You Thank You that works perfectly! If anyone is looking for this, here is the final code that workes perfectly.

 
RewriteEngine on
# Index Redirect for /index.php with no parameters
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]
 
# Index Redirect for /(index.php)?main_page=index(&cPath=<blank>) URL
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(index\.php)?\?main_page=index(&cPath=)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/? [R=301,L]
 
# Canonical Redirect non-blank, non-www and/or appended port number to www [EXCLUDE /admin requests]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^(www\.capecabinetdepot\.com)?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.capecabinetdepot.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Glad you're all fixed up!

This is server configuration code and it is very unforgiving of logic and/or coding errors.

Test very carefully.

Do make sure you change the name of your /admin folder and use that name in the code above. Do not tell anyone in the forum the real name of the admin folder.
