Question

I have the following rules in my httpd.conf

   RewriteEngine on        RewriteBase /        RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} password=*         RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} bi2=(.*)         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  /myGet.php(.*)$        RewriteRule ^(.*)$  http://blog.myexample%1.com/$1 

However, when I executed the Request URI

/myGet.php?password=john&bi2=67

I was redirected to

http://blog.myexample.com/myGet.php?password=john&bi2=67

instead of

http://blog.myexample67.com/myGet.php?password=john&bi2=67

It seems that %N for the RewriteCond BackReferencing is not working. Although $N is.

Answer 1

Alter the order or the RewriteCond directives so that the last directive is the one you want the information from:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} password=*  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  /myGet.php(.*)$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} bi2=(.*) RewriteRule ^(.*)$  http://blog.myexample%1.com/$1 

But I rather suggest:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} password= RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} bi2=([^&]*) RewriteRule ^/myGet\.php.*$  http://blog.myexample%1.com$0
