Htaccess 301 Redirect Help

[ergesa]

Hi,

I'm trying to redirect old urls of my old web site to new urls to my new web site.

There ara several urls to redirect and I need to redirect them one to one.

My old url is:

http://www.oldsite.com/index.php?page=old-address

And the new url is:

http://www.newsite.com/new-adress

 

I tried this;

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
redirect 301 /index.php?page=old-address http://www.newsite.com/new-adress

 

 

And this;

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
redirect 301 /index.php%3Fpage=old-address http://www.newsite.com/new-adress

 

 

but it didn't work. Do you have any idea to help me?

 

Thanks.

I don't think you need the 301. If I'm not mistaken you can do

Redirect old_url new_url

I'm not sure Redirect will look at the query string, and that doesn't seem to be documented.  If that's the case then you do need mod_rewrite.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =page=old-address
RewriteRule ^/?index\.php$ http://www.newsite.com/new-adress [L,R=301]

 

Also, Redirect is part of mod_alias. If you use it then you don't need a RewriteEngine or a RewriteBase. Completely different mechanisms.
