  1. Using a text editor, open the httpd.conf file. In XAMPP, this file is found in the \apache\conf directory
  2. Locate the following line of code:

    #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

  3. Remove the # from the line as seen below to enable the module:

    LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

  4. Save the httpd.conf file and Restart your server
  5. Restart your Apache Server

If all goes well, you should now be able to use .htaccess files.

301 Redirect

301 redirect is the most efficient and Search Engine Friendly method for webpage redirection. It’s not that hard to implement and it should preserve your search engine rankings for that particular page. If you have to change file names or move pages around, it’s the safest option. The code “301″ is interpreted as “moved permanently”.

You can Test your redirection with Search Engine Friendly Redirect Checker

301 Redirect Examples .htaccess

To Move a single page

Quick, easy and seamless for your visitors.

Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

To Move an entire site

This will catch any traffic on your old site and redirect it to your index page on your new server. If you want to redirect each page to its new spot, this isn’t the one for you.

Redirect 301 / http://www.example.com/

Changed file extension?

This example is perfect if you’ve decided to switch to .php from .html pages. It will look for any .html page and redirect it to .php (ie http://www.example.com/yourpage.html and redirect it to http://www.example.com/yourpage.php). Now, be careful with this, it does mean any html page. I did this on one of my sites and had totally forgotten I had an iframe with .html content on some pages… I didn’t notice for weeks that it was broken :S.
So learn from my mistake ;-) check, double check, then check again.

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ http://www.example.com$1.php

Redirect www to non www version of site .htaccess

Redirect www to non www version of site

It’s best to stick with either always using www.example.com or just example.com. Allowing both can confuse the search engines. So here’s how to force your site to always show the non-www version. (Search for “canonical url errors” in your favorite search engine for more info.)

Note: If you do use either of the next 2 codes below, and use a secure server (ie. https:) be sure to check that it doesn’t redirect the secure to the insecure version. I’m pretty sure this will do that and that isn’t something you want!

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect non-www to www

Same as above except in the reverse, this one forces the www. into your url.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
