Here is my .htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}

Here is my .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://shop.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://shop.com/index.php?id_category=12&controller=category [R=301,L]

I want :

  • my index.php to be redirected to index.php?id_category=12&controller=category.
  • override this redirection if the Referer is equal to http://shop.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account

It seems the third RewriteCond, which is supposed to create the exception, doesn’t match the request to index.php when the Referer is equal to http://shop.com/index.php?controller=authentication&back=my-account. As a result, the RewriteRule is taken into account, whereas it shouldn’t.

This behavior makes me think %{HTTP_REFERER} doesn’t include params in URL (in this case: id_category=12&controller=category).

    It does. You just have to escape the question mark. Try this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://shop.com/index.php\?controller=authentication&back=my-account [NC]
