RewriteRule

if=then=else redirect

[Trusty]

Hello!

I don't know how to write rule if=then=else file exist then redirect.

Let say I have pics_001.jpg and thumbnail tb_pics_001.jpg, so I want site normally show my thumb (tb_pics_001.jpg) in html but if u click on thumb for bigger pics, apache redirect to different URL.

This script redirects all pics, even tb_pics_001.jpg, so I need to add some variable. Any idea from mod_rewrite guru here.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.mysite.com/gallery.html.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*_001.jpg$ http://www.mysite.com/redirect.html [R,L]

You'd need to add a RewriteCond to stop redirection of tb_pics:

 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !tb-pics 

See the warnings it this thread: [webmasterworld.com...]

Thanks jdMorgan, but I already solve.

below is working code:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.mysite.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^t_.*\.jpg - [L]
ReWriteRule ^.*_001.jpg$ http://www.mysite.com/redirect.html [R,L]

- means do nothing, [L] last.

Trusty,

Yes, but the problem is that you will not be able to add any more RewriteRules after that, because your first rule will stop rewrite processing for all files except t_.*\.jpg files.

A more general, solution is:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}!^/t_.*\.jpg$
RewriteRule _001\.jpg$ http://www.mysite.com/redirect.html [R,L]

This code does the same thing, but allows you to add more RewriteRules later.

Note: "^.*" and ".*$" are completely redundant. Leave them off. Ref: Regular Expressions tutorial [etext.lib.virginia.edu]
