First of all, sorry for my english... I hope you're going to understand my problem :)
My company has made an emailing campaign which included a link to our website. This URL has a Google tracking code to follow the campaign.
Unfortunately, the URL is wrong :
http://www.mysite.fr/category/mypage.html/?utm_source=source&utm_medium=medium&utm_campaign=campaign
but there's a slash between "mypage.html" and the tracking code which points to an inexistant page.
I tried these rules to redirect the url without sending a new email to everyone but they don't work :
RewriteRule ^/category/mypage\.html/\?utm_source\=source\&utm_medium\=medium\&utm_capaign\=campaign$ http://www.mysite.fr/category/mypage.html?utm_source=source&utm_medium=medium&utm_campaign=campaign [R=301,L]
Or :
RedirectPermanent /category/mypage.html/ http://www.mysite.fr/category/mypage.html?utm_source=source&utm_medium=medium&utm_campaign=campaign
I don't know how to write the rule. Can someone help me please ?
A few things are wrong with your RewriteRule. If you're putting this in an .htaccess file, you need to remove the leading slash (the prefix) in your regular expression because apache removes it from the URI before putting it through rules in .htaccess files. Second, you can't match against the query string (the stuff starting from the ?) in the regular expression in a RewriteRule.
Not sure why your RedirectPermanent isn't working. That looks fine other than the fact that the query strings automatically get appended if you leave them out. I think that's what you want, so remove the query string in the target:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/category/mypage.html/$ http://www.mysite.fr/category/mypage.html

I need to make this simple rewrite, but I'm probably wrong because it doesn't work.
Original url format: http://www.mydomain.nop/folder/component/option,com_seminar/cid,134/task,3/
New url format: http://www.mydomain.nop/folder/component/eventbooking/seminar/134
The variables I need are these:
.../component/option,com_seminar/cid,num1/task,num2/
(the one after 'task,' is a variable number like the other but not necessary for the new url)
This is my code which however reports a 404 error
RewriteEngine On
...
RewriteRule ^/component/option,com_seminar/cid,([^/]*)/task,([^/]*)/$ /component/eventbooking/seminar/$1 [R=301,L]
Thanks in advance and apologize for my not perfect english
PS. I would like the code to work even without the last / of the original url
There's a site that has had a bunch of bad links indexed and I've been asked to deal with it. There's one type of link that is giving me a headache:
http://www.example.com/category-display.html&Category_Code=some_cat_code
I tried redirecting to the home page:
Redirect 301 /category-display.html& /
That doesn't work because it adds everything past the & to the url.
In the best of worlds, I'd like to redirect to:
/app/mm.mvc?Category_Code=some_cate_code
So I tried using querystring and RewriteRule/RewriteCond but there's no query string without the ? that I can figure out, so I'm kind of stuck here.
Any ideas?
You can use this rule as your top rule in site root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^category-display\.html&(.*)$ /app/mm.mvc?$1 [L,NC,NE,R=301]
I am upgrading my site which involves new scripts and a different URL
structure. There are currently a few thousand pages so I want to
basically move them in to a subdirectory so that they are not lost.
I am not very confident with htaccess so can someone please confirm that
the first part I have done is correct:
Old URL: http://www.example.com/article/another-dir/page-group/whatever.html
RewriteRule ^article/?$ http://www.example.com/archive/ [R=301,NC,L]
To achieve this: http://www.example.com/archive/another-dir/page-group/whatever.html
Search engines will see the above as a permanent move and in the address bar
it will show the new url. Is this right?
The second part is on the new script - the url's could be improved but I am
unable to change all the script so thought about using htaccess again but am
not sure if it can be achieved like this.
At the moment the url looks like this:
url: http://www.example.com/category/4/categoryname
In the htaccess the current rewrite rule for this type of url looks like this:
RewriteRule ^category/(.*)/(.*)$ category.php?id=$1&slug=$2
Is it possible to change this so that in the url address bar I end up
with this:
http://www.example.com/categoryname
Basically I don't want to see either the number or category/ in the resulting
url as it will be easier for visitors to use - is that possible??
Thanks in advance for any help.
The second question related to passing in URI components for querystring redirect and then hiding those components in the URL I don't think would be easy, if even possible, using RewriteRules.
For the first question though. Given the sample URLs you mentioned, the RewriteRule would need to include capture and backreference if you want to preserve the full URL in the redirection. For example:
RewriteRule ^article/?(.*)$ http://www.example.com/archive/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
I'm new to programming and brand new to this site (although it has helped out many times as I'm trying to learn this stuff...so THANKS for all the help so far!).
My question relates to 301 redirects. I've been searching this site as well as many other pages through google and can't seem to find a solution that works for me (I'm guessing that the solution is probably already out there since it seems like a common problem...but I haven't yet been able to find it).
So here it is:
I have a site where: http://homework-heroes.com/php/views/newAssignment.php?[then any query string] always goes to the same page.
For the sake of eliminating duplicate content as seen by google, I want these to always redirect to: http://homework-heroes.com/php/views/newAssignment.php?final
What is the htaccess code I should insert to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
Place the following in your /.htaccess file:
RewriteRngine On
RewriteRule %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule %{QUERY_STRING} !^final$
RewriteRule ^(php/views/newAssignment.php)$ /$1?final [R=302,NC,L]
The above basically says that if the query string is not blank and a request is being made to /php/views/newAssignment.php, then redirect to the same page with ?final as the new query string.
Alternatively, if you would like to remove the query string altogether, just remove final,leave the question mark in the rule, and remove the second condition.
If you're happy and want to make the redirect permanent, change 302 to 301.
i am experiencing a very unique problem and i hope someone can help!
so we have recently created a new ecommerce website and we made it live and everything was working great but when we to implement our 301's from our old pages we were getting some wierd things
so the code below actually works
Redirect 301 /directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1
this code does not
Redirect 301 /directory/sub_directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2
the output when i try to do this redirection is "Invalid parameters specified!" on a blank webpage and in the address bar it has this
http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1/sub_directory/
we were thinking that maybe the problem is because our old pages were dynamic but mod_rewrite was used to create more readable urls and we have also deleted all our old files because they were interfering with our new pages rendering
any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
That is strange, as redirect should only match the specific url listed, where as it looks like its behaving like rewriterule and partially matching the subdirectory url against the first rule..
try putting the more specific rule above the less specific, like so:
Redirect 301 /directory/sub_directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2
Redirect 301 /directory/ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1
That way the more specific rule will be hit first, and the /directory/ only rule will only match if more specific matches above fail
alternatively, you could try RewriteRules:
RewriteRule ^directory/$ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^directory/sub_directory/$ http://mysite.com/index.php?cat=2 [R=301,NC,L]
the ^ and $ anchors should prevent any unwanted partial matching
