Question

I’m trying to rewrite a query string in Apache.

The current (example) domain is:
example.com/?domain=domain.com

I would like this to then be rewritten into:
example.com/domain.com

So, when a user enters:
example.com/?domain=domain.com

They are always redirected to the pretty version:
example.com/domain.com

I’ve tried quite a few different rewrites, such as:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)$ /?domain=$1 [L]

But this fails to work (i.e. nothing happens) with .htaccess and ModRewrite enabled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this –

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^domain=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/%1? [L]

Empty question mark at the end is important as it will discard the original query string.
