Permanently moved Page help

[lukep11a]

Hi, I had a page, team-info.php?team_id=48 for example and some of these pages have been indexed by google, I then decided to move team-info.php into a folder named team and use my .htaccess file to rewrite the links to team/48 meaning some of the results in google now link to an error page. I have tried to direct the old links to the new links but it doesn't seem to be working, here's my code:

 

Rewrite rule that currently works to point dynamic link to a clean URL:

 

RewriteRule ^team/([0-9]+)$ team/team-info.php?team_id=$1

 

 

Rewrite rule to move the old dynamic link to the new one, that is not currently working:

RewriteRule ^team-info.php?team_id=([0-9]+)$ team/$1 [R=301,L]

 

If anyone can help me on this then I would be very grateful, i've been trying different solutions out for a while now and not getting anywhere, thanks.

Tried that one ?

 

RewriteRule ^team-info.php?team_id=([0-9]+)$ team/team-info.php?team_id=$1 [R=301,L]

Yeah that doesn't work either, takes me to the 404 Error page

The path used by RewriteRule does not include the query string.  You have to test that in a RewriteCond directive.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} team_id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^team-info.php$ team/%1 [R=301,L]

 

I believe that would be what you want.

Hi, thanks for your reply, your suggestion displays the correct page, but the URL however is quite right, it is displaying it like this:

 

http://www.mysite.com/team/48?team_id=48

 

instead of like this:

 

http://www.mysite.com/team/48

 

Any ideas why this could be?

[kicken]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} team_id=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^team-info.php$ team/%1? [R=301,L]

 

Try that.
