Redirect all URLs exactly except one URL that must be redirected to a different URL

Question

I must to change domain from example.net to example.com.

To redirect all URLs exactly (www and non-www) I use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (w*)example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

But I need one URL from the old domain to be redirected to a different URL:

example.net/en to be redirected to example.com/abc, instead of example.com/en.

Answer 1

You just need to implement your more specific redirect first, before your "generic" redirect everything else directive.

For example:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^en$ https://example.com/abc [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Aside...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (w*)example\.net$ [NC]

The (w*) prefix is superfluous here. This actually matches the domain <anything>example.net - so it still "works", but is possibly more than you need?

If you only want to match example.net or www.example.net (as stated in your question) then change this condition to read:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?example\.net$ [NC]

Or, to catch mistyped URLs if you have a wildcard subdomain:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(w+\.)?example\.net$ [NC]
