I want all the /faq/question/* urls to redirect to /faq, is that possible?
I have this but this doesnt work :

With your shown samples/attempts, please try following htaccess rules file. Make sure you are putting this new rule at top of your htaccess file(after https rules(to change http --> https rules) in case there are any present in your htaccess file).
Also make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs.
RewriteEngine ON
##Put your new rule here..
RewriteRule ^faq/question/ /faq? [R=301,L,NC]
###Make sure to keep rest of your urls here onwards...

So i have this issue, with changing an old site with a new and I need to redirect all the old links. So have this:
domain.com/articles.php?var=1
I basicly want to redirect everything after articles.php to just domain.com, including the /articles.php.
Thank you in advance.
Try adding this to your htaccess file:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/articles\.php$ /
or if you have mod_rewrite rules already in your htaccess file, you need to use mod_rewrite isntead, and add this rule above whatever rules are already there:
RewriteRule ^articles\.php$ / [L,R=301]
I have some dupilcate pages in my Joomla site.
Examples
/80-games
/80-games?start=12
/80-games?start=20
I did a 301 redirect in my .htcaccess for the first one which works fine.
My redirect for /80-games
Redirect 301 /80-games http://www.teach-this.com/esl-games
But for /80-games?start=12
The url changes to http://www.teach-this.com/esl-games?start=12
What should my redirect be for /80-games?start=12
Somehow the question mark is causing my destination url to change.
Thanks
Paul
You should use mod_rewrite as you cannot manipulate QUERY_STRING using mod_alias rules.
Put this code in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^80-games/?$ http://www.teach-this.com/esl-games? [R=301,L,NC]
Note ? at the end of target URI that is used to strip out any existing QUERY_STRING in the original URL.
I'm having a problem with my htaccess, we've moved a website and they're old website had a lot of duplicate pages that had a ?cat_id=88 etc... on them, I'm trying to redirect the page but it's not working, I've put the redirect code below, I'm already redirection the mantra.html to the /Mantra but the version with the ?cat_id=79 isn't redirecting, it's just ignoring everything after the ?
Redirect 301 /mantra.html?cat_id=79 http://www.website.co.uk/Mantra
Redirect only accepts paths, not paths with querystring. You could use mod_rewrite
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat_id=79$
RewriteRule ^mantra\.html$ /Mantra? [R=302,L]
change 302 to 301 once you get it working (301 are aggressively cached by browsers and make debugging a nightmare).
EDIT added a ? at the end to remove any querystring. Apache removes the ? if there is no other data in the querystring, so the end user will never see it.
I've tried many many methods of this but none seem to work.
I upgraded my site to PHP from ASP and as a result now I have 300+ 404's which i should of seen coming, but oh well.
Problem is I need to redirect these files and they are all dynamic:
old files are like: http://www.domain.co.uk/resoucecentreDetails.asp?title=foobar&ID=37
There are literally 100s of these so is there a quick way I can redirect them to a single page i.e. http://www.domain.co.uk/resoucecentreSelect.php
You can use Rewrite Rules in .htaccess.
Write following Rule in your htaccess.. It will redirect all your dynamic URLs to one page..
RewriteRule ^resoucecentreDetails.asp?title=(.*)&ID=(.*)$ /resoucecentreSelect.php [L,R=301]
This rule will do the job:
# activate rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# redirect rule
RewriteRule ^resoucecentreDetails.asp$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/resoucecentreSelect.php [NC,QSA,R=301,L]
It will redirect all requests from /resoucecentreDetails.asp to /resoucecentreSelect.php preserving the query string, e.g.:
http://www.domain.co.uk/resoucecentreDetails.asp?title=foobar&ID=37
will become
http://www.domain.co.uk/resoucecentreSelect.php?title=foobar&ID=37
