Single RewriteRule to create a redirection with two conditions – Apache

I found this rule which works fine with just one condition which is: foobar is in the string.

I need to change this to include a new condition to have two conditions (instead of one):

  • foobar is in the string. This is already working.

  • meetball is NOT in the string.

    RewriteRule ^(.*)foobar(.*)$ http://www.example.com/index.php [L,R=301]

    Please try following, written as per your shown samples. Also you need to create groups (.*) since you are not using them while redirection. You could add NC flag of apache to enable ignorecase to the URI values.

    RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(?!.*metaball).*foobar.*$ http://www.example.com/index.php [NC,L,R=301]

    OR without negative lookahead try with usual condition check. Please make sure either you put above Rulesets OR following rulesets one at a time only.

    RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} !metaball [NC]
RewriteRule foobar http://www.example.com/index.php [NC,L,R=301]

    You can use negative lookahead pattern:

    RewriteRule ^(?!.*meetball).*foobar http://www.example.com/index.php [L,R=301]

    (?!.*meetball) will fail the pattern match if meatball is found anywhere in URI. Also there is no need to use grouping hence (...) is removed in my answer.
