I have the below rewrite rules in my .htaccess file on my Joomla installation.
RewriteRule ^hire/([0-9a-zA-Z-&]+)/([0-9a-zA-Z-&]+) /section?section=$1&sub_section=$2 [NC,L,R]
This works great, but I'd like to remove the R part so that it doesn't redirect, and the URL stays the nicer looking SEO friendly version. The trouble is that when I do this, I always get a 404 page.

I'm working on setting up a 301 redirect in an .htaccess file and I can get it to sorta work, but I'm not sure why it's not picking up on anything after a specific URL in the rewrite rule.
I currently have this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/old-path/page/(.*) /new-page/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
Which works fine if I test it with http://example.com/old-path/page which redirects to http://example.com/new-page
But if I try this:
http://example.com/old-path/page/test it will 404 and not redirect to http://example.com/new-page
Overall, since I'm not 100% if there are any other pages from the old path that may be nested within the page I want to make sure that I'm catching any of them and just redirecting to the new-path outright.
So, I'm not sure if I'm setting this up incorrectly or if there is something that I'm missing?
Due to a recent data update to Joomla 3.3.6 there are several URLs that give 404 as the Taxomy component used in Joomla 1.5.26 is not supported in Joomla 3.x
I want to do a permanent redirect those old URLs to new, I used this rule in the htaccess but does not work:
RewriteRule ^http://www.vistaalmar.es/tag/(.*)$ http://www.vistaalmar.es/component/taxonomy/$1 [L,R=301]
I could give any other ideas for this redirection.
If your links already have /component/taxonomy/ part and you want to redirect them to /tag/ you have to change your rule as:
RewriteRule ^component/taxonomy/(.*)$ /tag/$1 [L,R=301]
Hope this helps
I am trying to do a redirect in my Joomla .htaccess file
The incorrect link is:
http://nilandsplace.com/index.php/camping_eng/camping?___store=camping_eng
I am trying to get it to go to:
http://nilandsplace.com/store/index.php/camping/camping-home/?___store=camping
No mater what 301 redirect I have tried it does not work I get a 404 page not found or I get a 500 server error. It also could just go to:
http://nilandsplace.com/store/camping/
I almost got it to work by getting rid of the index.php in the link, but there are a lot of old external links in that have it with the index.php. I have tried more then 15 different ways and still can't get it without destroying my Joomla link
http://nilandsplace.com/index.php
I know the basics, the rewrite engine is on and I have been putting everything before the Joomla redirects that are many. The Joomla .htaccess is the basic one that comes with Joomla install.

You can use this rule as your very first rule in your root .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /camping_eng/camping\?___store=camping_eng [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /store/camping/? [R=301,L]
I'm trying to show the user the content of http://www.mysite.com/booking-request?code=### when visiting a url such as http://www.mysite.com/booking/ZHTU78
I'm sure this is simple, but I cannot understand why the following rule is not working for me. All I get is a 404 error.
RewriteRule ^booking\/([\w\d]+)$ /booking-request?code=$1 [L]
If I change the rule to
RewriteRule ^booking\/([\w\d]+)$ /booking-request?code=$1 [L,R=301]
It works, but with the obvious undesirable side effect of actually redirecting the browser to http://www.mysite.com/booking-request?code=###
I've also tried changing the url to redirect to to a single / to make sure it should be looking for an existing page, but no change.
It might be pertinent to mention this is on a drupal site and /booking-request is essentially a basic page, so drupal will have some functionality to redirect this page anyway, however I wouldn't have thought it should matter in this case.

Here's a link to the whole htaccess file: http://pastebin.com/KPE6DK6N
Try change the rule to:
RewriteRule ^booking/([\w\d]+)$ /booking-request?code=$1 [L]
or
RewriteRule ^booking/([\w\d]+)$ http://www.mysite.com/booking-request?code=$1 [L]
It should work.
I am working on removing an old Joomla 1.0 site that has the SEF module installed. I need to redirect the URLs to static pages in a search engine friendly way.
A typical URL looks like: www.mysite.com/index.php?/this-page.html.
I need to forward it to a static page on the same site like: www.mysite.com/this-page.html
So, I edited htaccess to read:
redirect 301 /index.php?/this-page.html http://www.mysite.com/this-page.html
The redirect does not seem to work. Any ideas? A wild card redirect to strip out the "/index.php?/" would be a bonus since I have to do about 80. I'm happy to do them manually, too.
try this below and let me know
redirect /index.php?/this-page.html http://www.mysite.com/this-page.html
Add in your .htaccess
Redirect /path/to/new/folder http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html
The firs argument should be the path to the folder
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index.php/
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*) /$1 [R,L]
This eliminates index.php from all old sef urls
