Redirect Help

[toolman]

Hi, I am trying to use this redirect, but it isn't doing anything.

 

RewriteRule ^directory/page.html?ref=test$ http://www.website.com/directory/page.html?ref=test2 [R=301,L]

 

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

 

Thanks

RewriteRule does not include the query string. You have to test for that manually with a RewriteCond.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} =ref=test
RewriteRule ^directory/page.html http://www.website.com/directory/page.html?ref=test2 [R=301,L]

If that still doesn't work, try adding a /? after the ^.
