We have a front-end proxy server that serves pages from a back-end website (both running Apache 2.4):

# Apache config snippet from frontend server
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyPass "/blah"  "https://backend.invalid/blah "
ProxyPassReverse "/blah"  "https://backend.invalid/blah "

(In other words, accessing anything under https://frontend.invalid/blah actually retrieves the content from the back-end site. This is working as expected.) In order to do some maintenance work on the back-end site, I would now like to only allow access to the proxy (and backend site) from certain IP ranges (something like Require ip 123.123 172.20.0.0/16 (etc, for several ranges), and for all requests **not** from within these ranges, redirect those requests to a different site with a status page instead. I suspect that this will require either some fairly complicated mod_rewrite config (always a "several coffees required" task) and/or possibly use of the If and Else directives. Can anyone advise how best (or, perhaps, how simplest) to set this up?

We need to do some URI mangling for some web content that (for historical reasons) has been promoted using mixed case URIs. The address is www.domain.invalid/ACRONYM/pROJECT (with various pages contained within that folder). /ACRONYM/pROJECT is actually ultimately served from a UserDir: AliasMatch "(?i)^/ACRONYM/pROJECT(.*)" "/home/someuser/htdocs/pROJECT$1" What I want to do is convert requests for lower (well, any - hence NC (NoCase) flag) case requests to the "canonical" mixed case form (so that this is what is presented to site visitors), and then load the content from the UserDir via the Alias: RewriteRule "^/acronym/project(.*)$" "/ACRONYM/pROJECT$1" [NC] …with the AliasMatch rule (referred to above) following this in my server config (am I right in thinking that both Redirect and also Rewrite are applied before any Alias?). I am also not sure whether I might need a RewriteCond of some sort here? I have **[LogLevel alert rewrite:trace2](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#logging)** temporarily enabled on my test server, and it **seems** that mod_rewrite is indeed converting the request to the desired URI case, but Apache then seems to be trying to look in the filesystem under the DocumentRoot, rather than having followed the Alias? (Other, simpler, Alias'es on the server, without this cumbersome two-stage process, do work OK.) Example log output:

rewrite '/acronym/project/somepage' -> '/ACRONYM/pROJECT/somepage'
setting lastsub to rule with output /ACRONYM/pROJECT$1
local path result: /ACRONYM/pROJECT/somepage
prefixed with document_root to /var/www/html/ACRONYM/pROJECT/somepage
go-ahead with /var/www/html/ACRONYM/pROJECT/somepage [OK]

We want to move our user web spaces (eg, www.domain.invalid/~usersite) to a different server (webhomes.domain.invalid/~usersite), but we want to ensure that existing incoming links and bookmarks get redirected to the new server. My attempts at trying to get the right syntax/regexp for an Apache Redirect or RewriteRule haven't yet been successful. I essentially want to match on ^/~ followed by anything (?) and redirect it as a request to the corresponding location on the new server, including the ~username part and the rest of the request URI , where it exists. We are currently using Apache 2.4.

I have a website which needs to be changed from Nginx to Apache webserver. The index directory is nl.html but the HTML extension is removed from the address bar. If I visit the website example.com it shows in the address bar the following URL: example.com/nl but actually it's nl.html. At the moment I have the following .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1 [R=301,L]

When I visit the website the root URL is shown without the /nl. If I visit /nl/blog it shows a 404 but it should show /nl/blog.html the issue also appears on other files. What am I missing here?

I have a apache reverse proxy setting where I have to redirect all requests from abc.com to abc-test.com, the backend for this proxy is a AWS ALB. I have the below config which is not working:

abc.com
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /  https://internal-us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/  retry=0 connectiontimeout=300 timeout=300
ProxyPassReverse /  https://internal-us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com 
SSLProxyEngine on
SSLProxyVerify none
  
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  
ProxyPreserveHost On

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://abc-test$1  [L,R]

I have multiple other virtual hosts in the same apache config with different backends, surprisingly the above vhost is being redirected to a different backend. Only having a redirect rule in vhost replicates this behavior else things are fine. Any help on this would be appreciated.

I've migrated my git repositories from Gitlab to Gogs and I've taken the opportunity to change some organization/group names and reorganize repositories. I'd like to maintain the current Git+SSH URLs working however for projects using composer or other packagers. I've looked for a way to do it inside Gogs but nothing seems to exist to this purpose so I had another idea (which could also be useful in other contexts): rewriting the SSH path on the server, like Apache does with mod_rewrite. Is there a way to do just that with SSH? Note that adding a command in the .authorized_keys is a bit tricky since Gogs already uses it to mediate access to the repositories through a command.

I have a reverse proxy to AWS Elasticsearch. I am having issues with using RedirectRule: no matter what I try, my URL is being interpreted as a file. SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests On ProxyPreserveHost On RewriteEngine On RewriteRule /test-api https://vpc-cls-elasticsearch-test-tmqu2s2mcftvsuqe.amazonaws.com [P] ProxyPassReverse /test-api https://vpc-cls-elasticsearch-test-tmqu2s2mcftvsuqe.amazonaws.com Calling https://example.com/test-api always returns this error: The requested URL /cls-api was not found on this server How can I get this to work without the existence of an actual file on my server?

This is the configuration of my Apache 2.4.37 webserver on Centos 8. File /etc/httpd/conf.d/mysite.conf: ServerName mysite.com DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =mysite.com RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] File /etc/httpd/conf.d/mysite-ssl.conf: ServerName mysite.com DocumentRoot "/var/www/html" Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.com/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite.com/privkey.pem ErrorDocument 403 /error403.html ErrorDocument 404 /error404.html ErrorDocument 405 /error405.html ErrorDocument 500 /error500.html RewriteEngine on # First rule block RewriteRule ^/$ /index.php [R,L] # Second rule block RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(([^/]+/)*([^/.]+))\.php[\ ?] RewriteRule \.php$ /%1/ [R=301,NC,L] RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1.php [NC,L] Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains" TraceEnable off The second rule block is taken from here and rewrites all URLs https://mysite.com/anypage.php to https://mysite.com/anypage/, hiding PHP file extensions and making permalinks nicer to see. I've added the first rule block after noticing that the solution suggested in the link had a bug -- that is, URL https://mysite.com/ returned a File not Found. Now it works. However, a minor annoyance is that https://mysite.com/ redirects to https://mysite.com/index/ (since it loads the file index.php). My question: How can this configuration be changed so that the URL https://mysite.com/ stays the same?

Consider a URL as shown below: http://myDomain.tld/anAddress/myFile.pdf?X=zzz&Y=kkk How can I have it as : http://myDomain.tld/anAddress/myFile.pdf/zzz/kkk I want to get rid of both ?X and &Y. I'd be glad if someone let me know what rule I should use. **MY SERVER BLOCK :** server { listen 80; server_name _; location / { root /my/root/path; rewrite ^/(.*)pdf/(.*)/(.*)$ /$1?md5=$2&expires=$3 break; secure_link $arg_md5,$arg_expires; autoindex on; secure_link_md5 "$secure_link_expires$uri aWord"; if ($secure_link = "") { return 403; } if ($secure_link = "0") { return 410; } } } --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Purpose :** To be more precise, my URL is like: http://myDomain.tld/anAddress/myFile.pdf?md5=So1Me2Ha3Sh4&expires=123456789 I want it to be like: http://myDomain.tld/anAddress/myFile.pdf/So1Me2Ha3Sh4/123456789 In **Apache**, we can use: RewriteRule ^(.*)pdf/(.*)/(.*)$ $1?md5=$2&expires=$3 When I tried to convert it to NGINX form, it became: rewrite ^/(.*)pdf/(.*)/(.*)$ /$1?md5=$2&expires=$3 break; But it didn't work.

--- **Edit** Why is Apache trying to read /css/main.css?? Why is it not using the document root in there

I'd like to rewrite the source IP on TCP/514 traffic leaving a redhat machine, for connections that weren't initiated from the machine. The machine receives TCP/514 traffic on an interface, for example 10.10.0.20, and then I'd like to return the traffic as though the reply is from 10.10.0.15 (which isn't assigned to the machine). If I was initiating the connection, then I could use the nat table, and: iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -p tcp --sport 514 -j SNAT --to=10.10.0.15 ..but since I'm replying to incoming traffic, I can't make it hit the nat table (as far as I can tell). Ignoring the reasons *why* I need to do things this way, how can I make this work? More background: > It's a redhat 7 machine sitting behind a Netscaler VIP which receives > syslog traffic over TCP (not UDP). I'm using client IP passthrough on > the VIP.

We want to migrate multiple domains on new servers. In the first step (though from a SEO point of this is not recommendable) everything has to be redirected to the new domain's root. Later the team wants to have more fine grained redirects (thus the usage for RewriteMaps) I thought of using something like this: ^/(.*) https://www.newdomain.com/ But it seems I am on the wrong track

I have a problem with the implementation of such redirect: https://domain.a/ => https://domain.b/foo/ without changing a url to domain.b. I would like to see the contents of the URL domain.a from domain.b/foo/ in browser address bar.

I need to deny access to configuration files under some subfolder. Currently I have this rule but it doesn't work: Order deny,allow Deny from all If I go to www.mysite.com/foo/foo2/file.xml, I can view the file. I need to deny all file accesses into fooand bar recursively **UPDATE** I have tried this this configuration but have an Internal Error Order Allow,Deny Deny from all

I recently moved my site from Wordpress to confluence, and I'm having trouble with page redirects. Ive setup a custom 404 page for my Confluence, but it only works if you type https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/asdasdas But if you go to an old link, like https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/index.php/2015/09/03/install-dd-wrt-on-linksys-ea6500/ It takes you to my "confluence" page, but the /wiki is a special plugin that I want to be the public facing side. I access the page via a different subdomain then www. My "workaround" would be one of two things, 1) Redirect all https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/index.php/* to https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/wiki 2) Redirect all https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/(Anything BUT /wiki) to https://www.freesoftwareservers.com/wiki I found something close on NginX site, but it was more complicated that what I need and I was having trouble with the expression needed. https://www.nginx.com/blog/creating-nginx-rewrite-rules/ Here’s a sample NGINX rewrite rule that uses the rewrite directive. It matches URLs that begin with the string /download and then include the /media/ or /audio/ directory somewhere later in the path. It replaces those elements with /mp3/ and adds the appropriate file extension, .mp3 or .ra. The $1 and $2 variables capture the path elements that aren’t changing. As an example, /download/cdn-west/media/file1 becomes /download/cdn-west/mp3/file1.mp3. server { ... rewrite ^(/download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.mp3 last; rewrite ^(/download/.*)/audio/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.ra last; return 403; ... } Perhaps I need to split this into 2 parts, a server block that returns 404 and a 404 handler, but I'd like to keep this all in my existing nginx server block. BTW I am already using the following rewrite rule to redirect domain.com/ to domain.com/wiki, but that only works if you type https://www.freesoftwareservers.com without anything at the end. rewrite ^/$ /wiki permanent; Any help is appreciated, there are many broken links to my site floating around the interweb :)

The webpages are accecced in the following manner: example.com/?site=website In this example, I'm accessing the website located on example.com domain. Could anyone suggest an optimal way of rewriting rules, so the above would be shown and accessed by example.com/website? nginx, Centos 7

I am playing with NGINX rewrite rules, but no matter what I do, things wont work. The current link: - /tutorials/index.php?article=2 How I want it - /tutorials/2 My - current - NGINX rewrite conf/rule: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404 /index.php?$args; rewrite ^/tutorials/([0-9]+)$ /tutorials/index.php?article=$1 last; } What am I doing wrong here? --- My NGINX configuration file: server { # Hide php extension: ".php" if (!-e $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*)$ /$1.php; } # Redirect to HTTPS if ($scheme = http) { return 301 https://$host$request_uri ; } # Access rule(s) location / { try_files $uri $uri/ =404 /index.php?$args; } location ~ ^/tutorials/([[:digit:]]+)$ { rewrite ^ /tutorials/index.php?article=$1 last; } # Enable: PHP FPM location ~ \.php$ { if ($request_uri ~ /tutorials/index\.php) { return 302 $scheme://$host/tutorials/$arg_article; } # Allow user execution of PHP try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-alpha.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; client_max_body_size 5M; } }

Here is my current nginx config server_name web.com; server_tokens off; root /usr/share/nginx/html/web; index index.php; if ( $request_uri ~ "/index.(php|html?)" ) { rewrite ^ /$1 permanent; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args =404; } error_page 404 /404.html; error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html; location = /50x.html { root /usr/share/nginx/html; } location ~ /\.ht { deny all; } location ~ \.php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; } What I'm trying to do: 1. web.com?page=somepage&other_arg=arg&.. rewrite to web.com/somepage/arg/.... My methods didn't work, sometimes giving errors: failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream or accept4() failed (24: Too many open files) 2. Allow direct access via browser URL only to index.php in root folder. Other files and directories can't be accessed via browser (but can through GET,POST, etc) I used internal directive, worked as expected, however I couldn't set exception for index.php Could anyone suggest an optimal method of doing that?

I have a java application which is behind nginx proxy pass. When the URL is called the application automatically creates a path for the served content. So when you call https://somedomain.com you get https://somedomain.com/todayisaniceday This is the the proxy pass directive and the rewrite rule in my nginx: location /URI{ proxy_pass http://IP:PORT/URI ; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; } location ~ ^/([a-zA-Z0-9=\?]+)$ { rewrite ^/(.*)$ / break; } I'm implementing one token authentication mechanism. What I would like to achieve is the following: when you call: https://somedomain.com/something?jwt=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9.TJVA95OrM7E2cBab30RMHrHDcEfxjoYZgeFONFh7HgQ The URL will stay and will be not rewritten by the java application. So basically when there is this string ?jwt= in the url it should keep it and everything behind it. I was trying something like this: rewrite ^/(.*)$ /?jwt=$1 break; but without success. Any ideas ? Thanks for the help.

I'm writing a bash script where I'm reading in a variable via read this two strings: log.*.console.log log.*.log They are separated by space. How can I rewrite the strings that the output from the variable for the next program called in the script will have them in this form ? 'log.*.console.log' 'log.*.log' I was trying sed and awk but somehow without success. The whole script: #!/bin/bash if [ -z "$*" ] ; then echo "USAGE: ./some text" exit 1 else echo "some text" read varlogname i=1 for file in $@ do echo "Doing" $file GTAR=$(gtar -xvf $file --wildcards --ignore-case --no-anchored "$varlogname") for file in ${GTAR[*]} do mv $file $file"."${i} i=$((i+1)) done done echo "Files extracted." fi exit 0
