Compact Redirects in Apache/htaccess. How? [An Elegant Coding Question]

  • 772

when setting my redirects in htaccess, i have trouble setting/combining various domains when they all go to the same homepage. I can do them separate, but that isn't neat/elegant. How to rewrite the third paragraph sothat it works?

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.de$    // works fine
RewriteRule ^$ de/home [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.fr$    // works fine
RewriteRule ^$ fr/home [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.com$    // doesnt work well
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.org$    // doesnt work well
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website.net$    // doesnt work well
RewriteRule ^$ en/home [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.(com|org|net)$
RewriteRule ^$ en/home [R=301,L]

    Also a better way of writing all of them:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.(fr|de)$
RewriteRule ^$ %1/home [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.(com|org|net)$
RewriteRule ^$ en/home [R=301,L]

    Just for another note, you can combine multiple RewriteCond's as 'or' conditions using [OR], e.g.:

    RewriteCond ... [OR]
RewriteCond ...
RewriteRule ...
