htaccess rewrite help

[spunkle]

Hey,

I have a problem with google crawling some links that i do not want it to crawl. These links should not exist and i do not know how google found them. I currently have a htaccess file to make url's more SE friendly but i'm not sure how to fix this new issue.

here is an example of the problem, google is crawling some links like:
http://www.example.com/?m=h&page=4/page1077/page5/page1116/page10/page1129/page7/page8

and the link should look like:
http://www.example.com/top_rated/page4

example 2:
http://www.example.com/?m=m&page=932/page928/page931/page1116/page1116/page1121/page2

should be:
http://www.example.com/most_viewed/page932



i don't know why all the "/page5/page1116/" etc are on the url.

i guess i do not have my htaccess setup correctly to achieve this?
below is my current htaccess file, can someone please help me with what i need to add or change to stop google from crawling these links, i guess i need to add or change a rewrite in the htaccess file?

current htaccess file:

[edit reason] example.com to suppress auto-linking [/edit]

[g1smd]

The redirects MUST be listed before any of the rewrites: index redirect first, the non-www redirect next.

EVERY RewriteRule should have the [L] flag added.

[spunkle]

any chance of a quick example of what you mean G1smd? sorry i'm new to this.

[spunkle]

ok i have made the changes that g1smd suggested. Those suggestions don't address my initial problem though.

can anyone shed some light on my problem?

thanks very much :)

[spunkle]

bump for help, also if no one can help, can anyone suggest a htaccess forum that i can try and get some info from?

thanks

[g1smd]

Let's see the new code and we can proceed.

[g1smd]

Use example.com to stop the forum auto-linking the URLs.

RewriteRule ^blog_drafts/$ /blog_drafts [R=301,L]

As a 301 redirect it should include the domain name:

RewriteRule ^blog_drafts/$ http://www.example.com/blog_drafts [R=301,L] 

This also applies to several other rules above.


Next, examine the first line of each block of code (i.e. the line directly after the comment).

RewriteRule ^stats/$ /stats [L]

This rule is an internal rewrite. Surely it should also be an external redirect. Add the [R=301,L] flag and add the domain name to the target, as above.

RewriteRule ^stats/$ http://www.example.com/stats [R=301,L]

This applies to the first line of most of the code blocks above.


Finally, once you have corrected the syntax of all of those redirects, all of those redirects should be moved so they appear at the very beginning of the RewriteRule code. That is, the "page" redirects should appear before the index and non-www redirects.

The rewrites stay where they are and the redirects move to the beginning of the code.

Hi g1smd,

I have read your instructions and have applied them to the best of my knowledge, I didn't understand this bit so don't think i have done it correctly:
"Finally, once you have corrected the syntax of all of those redirects, all of those redirects should be moved so they appear at the very beginning of the RewriteRule code. That is, the "page" redirects should appear before the index and non-www redirects.

The rewrites stay where they are and the redirects move to the beginning of the code. "



Here is my new htaccess with all of the amendments i have done. Can you let me know if i have done any of it wrong?

I tested my site and these url's are still accessible so not sure what i need to do to stop that?:
example.com/?m=h&page=4/page1077/page5/page1116/page10/page1129/page7/page7

thanks for your help with this, much appreciated!

[g1smd]

All of the lines with both [R=301,L] on the end, and the domain name within, need to have http:// added in front of the domain name.

If there are any lines with [R=301,L] on the end, and the http:// AND the domain name are BOTH MISSING, then both of those things must be added.

Finally, all of those lines that end with [R=301,L] and ONLY those lines, need to be moved - one at a time - to be at the very start of the code.

The end result will be that ALL of the lines with [R=301,L] will be listed all together at the top of the code, and ALL of the lines with just [L] will be all together at the bottom of the code.

[spunkle]

ok, I have made the changes suggested. I think that i have made all of them correctly, can you please confirm this is now correct?

here is the newest htaccess:

[g1smd]

There are a number of rules with [R=301,L] flags that do not have the protocol and domain name added yet.

Additionally, the index and the non-www redirects must be the last of the redirects, positioned just before the first rewrite.

Redirects affect the URLs users see. You need to get them out of the way before any of the rewrites get down to the business of serving the content.

[spunkle]

i guess you mean that these [R=301,L] don't have the url/protocal added but i have no idea where i would put the url, can you advise me?

RewriteRule ^channel/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/page([^/\.]+)$ /$1/$2/$3/page$4 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^channel/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)$ /$1/$2/$3/$4 [R=301,L]

[g1smd]

In the same place it appears in all of the other redirects: after the space after the $ sign, immediately before, and joined to, the / of the new URL path.

[spunkle]

so like this?:


RewriteRule ^channel/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+)/page([^/\.]+)$ http://www.example.com/$1/$2/$3/page$4 [R=301,L]

[g1smd]

Yes, except that

([^/\.]+)

should be

([^/.]+)

too.

[spunkle]

Hey g1smd,

i made those changes, this is now what i have as htaccess, is this correct?:

There are a number of double slashes within the path part of many URLs.

Those are obvious typos. Fix those and then test using "Live HTTP Headers" or similar.

[spunkle]

Hey,

I have fixed those typos, my mistake. I have tested the new htaccess and the trouble url's are still accessable. really appreciate your help with this.

this is a problem url:
example.com/?m=h&page=4/page1077/page5/page1116/page10/page1129/page7/page7

should be:
example.com/top_rated/page4

here is the newest htaccess:


mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file \.(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*

[jdMorgan]

To fix the originally-posted problem, something like:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^m=h&page=([0-9])+(/page=[0-9]+)+$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/top_rated/page%1 [R=301,L]
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^m=m&page=([0-9])+(/page=[0-9]+)+$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/most_viewed/page%1 [R=301,L]

The posted code is far too long and has been re-posted too many times to get much sustained attention here. It could be significantly shortened (and sped up) by combing rules such as

RewriteRule ^category/$ http://www.example.com/category [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^tag/$ http://www.example.com/tags [R=301,L]
... 28 more rules ...
RewriteRule ^blog/$ http://www.example.com/blog [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^profile/$ http://www.example.com/profile [R=301,L] ]

into a single rule:

# Externally redirect to remove trailing slashes from all specified extensionless URL-paths
RewriteCond $1 ^(blog(_(drafts|queue))?category|tag|popular_tags|webmasters|contact|about|subscriptions|favorites|disabled|search-stats|(channel|title)-editor|seo-tools|import-(failed|profile|queued)|queued|most_(recent|viewed|discussed)|top_rated|featured|directory|search|stats|log(out|in)|lostpw|register)$
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

or the much-less-efficient, but easier-to-maintain:

# Externally redirect requests for all URL-paths ending in "/" unless
# the requested URL-path resolves to a physically-existing directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

In the first version, it is assumed that most requests to this server do not end in "/". Therefore, the specific URL-path testing is done in a separate RewriteCond, which will not be evaluated at all unless the (far simpler) RewriteRule pattern matches first (see mod_rewrite Rule Processing documentation for details).

The second version is less efficient because it calls the OS to go check the filesystem for each requested URL-path ending in a slash. This may require the physical disk to be checked, which is very slow (and hard on the disk if there are a lot of such checks). But you must decide whether that is a better or worse trade-off than maintaining this list of slashed URLs that need to be redirected to remove the slashes -- or not.

Hi Jim,

I tried this with my htaccess but nothing changed...

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^m=h&page=([0-9])+(/page=[0-9]+)+$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/top_rated/page%1 [R=301,L]
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^m=m&page=([0-9])+(/page=[0-9]+)+$
RewriteRule ^$ http://www.example.com/most_viewed/page%1 [R=301,L]

any ideas?

[jdMorgan]

Delete your browser cache.

Request www.example.com/?m=h&page=10/page=11 from your server.

You will be redirected to www.example.com/top_rated/page10

If not, then either the rules are not in the right order, or the code is not designed to do what you need to do...

Jim
