[users@httpd] Apache URL RewriteCond / RewriteRule question

[Mirko Hufnagel <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

My name is Mirko and I have a problem with our RewriteRules.

What I want:

Visitor type the URL www.linart.de
And we forward him to www.linuxart.de/en

That works!

Visitor type the URL www.linart.de/en
And we forward him to www.linuxart.de/en

That works!

Visitor type the URL www.linuxart.de/page1
And we forward him to www.linuxart.de/en/page1

And that's the pain - I have no idear how we can solve that?! What I
produce in my example below produce and endless loop of redirections.

And idear?
Any help would be great!

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?linart\.de$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
RewriteRule ^/$ http://www.linuxart.de/en/               [R=307,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?linart\.de$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/en$
RewriteRule ^/en$ http://www.linuxart.de/en/             [R=307,NC,L]

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?linart\.de$
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/en/.+$
#RewriteRule ^/en/(.*)$ http://www.linuxart.de/en/$1      [R=307,NC,L]

So is it linart.de/page1 or linuxart.de/page1 that needs to go to
www.linuxart.de/en/page1 ??? I'll assume linart.de based on the below
commented out example and take the above as typo.

You need to rewrite only the requests that don't start with /en/ whereis in
your example you are doing the oposite. Try this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?linart\.de$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/en/
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://www.linuxart.de/en/$1      [R=307,NC,L]
