301 Redirect's - Issues [SOLVED]

[slicencode]

Hi,

I'm having issues with a set of old links, I have about 50 of them which I've redirected to the new CMS pages in the following format (.htaccess), example:

Code: Select all

redirect 301 /resort/specialsmain.htm http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/

However, when I try /resort/specialsmain.htm , it goes to: http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offer ... lsmain.htm . Obviously, the first half is right, but then the rest, i.e. "?page=resort/specialsmain.htm" is random.

Any ideas, quite sure the solution is probably simple

Thank you!

Hi slicencode,

You probably find the answer in this topic:

Thanks Rolf, I had tried that and it still hadn't worked. Case in point, example:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^2007timeless.htm$ http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/ [R=301,L]

Doesn't work here: http://www.pointgrace.com/resort/specia ... meless.htm

Full Htaccess

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
#
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms/
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^2007timeless.htm$ http://www.pointgrace.com/special-offers/ [R=301,L]

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://208.86.158.213/index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^pointgrace.net$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.pointgrace.net$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.pointgrace\.com" [R=301,L]

Any further help is much appreciated... Cheers

Okidok, I figured it out for those will encounter the issue

This is the correct format:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^oldfolder/file.html$ http://www.domain.com/newfolder [R=301,L]

No starting slash on the old path and no trailing slash on the new path

Good luck
