What is mod_rewrite and examples

What is mod_rewrite? Mod Rewrite allows you to change the URL that everyone sees when they visit your domain or a specific address. Just add the code to your .htaccess file (typically the one inside webpage/).

Please remember we do not offer support to code this, nor do we promise to make your code work. Some of these codes work in combination, and some do not.

EXAMPLES

#Specify a default home page (index page)
DirectoryIndex home.html
#Allow only specified IPs to access your site
deny from all
allow from 64.94.229.240
allow from 214.23.41.65
# Redirect all pages from olddomain.com
# to newdomain.com
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.olddomain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#Prevent subfolder loading. This goes
# in htaccess for the primary domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^primary\.com$ [OR]
