Hi all

 

I've been given the task of redoing the work web site, and all has gone swimmingly, with the exception of some rewrites to new locations. The last chunk doesn't work though! any help would be received with appreciation

AddHandler php5-script .php

 

The bits that dont work are the redirects for the news_archive.php page

Since no regex is being used...

 

RewriteRule ^work.php$ http://www.uspcreative.com/pages/work [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^news.php$ http://www.uspcreative.com/pages/news [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^other.php$ http://www.uspcreative.com/pages/other [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^people.php$ http://www.uspcreative.com/pages/people [R=301,L]

 

Would probably be better off as...

 

Redirect 301 old new

 

The reason your rule isn't working is because I believe RewriteRule doesn't match query strings so although your trying to compare ?month=x, the query string isn't passed to the RewriteRule. You will need to use a RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} month=1 for each rule (I think, haven't tested that, so syntax might not be 100% perfect.
