Any apache server experts here?

I need some help with a 302 redirect in .htaccess. Anyone here good with this?

[Simplex3]

Define "good".

[EyePod]

I'm not, but good luck! I just came in here to see if anyone actually knew what you were talking about!

[Simplex3]

It's just:

REDIRECT 302 /path/to/redirect URI/to/redirect/to

[Simplex3]

Also, are you sure it's a 302 (temporary) that you want?

[Simplex3]

IIRC you can also use "temporary" and "permanent" in place of 302 and 301, respectively.

[penguinz]

I meant 301.

On one of the sites I own I moved the forums to a subdirectory so I need the query strings to redirect to the subforum and return the 301 for SEO.

[Simplex3]

So if the .htaccess was in the root of the site, the redirect would be:

REDIRECT 301 /forums http://my.server.tld/newforums/

The first path is relative to the place where the .htaccess file is, the second is the full URI to the new resource.

I should have given an example. There is still going to be content in the root I don't want redirected.

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?showforum=22 to http://www.mysite.com/forums/index.php?showforum=22

I think Simplex got for you just substitute your urls for his...

[Simplex3]

So it's only some topics, forums, etc? Some index.php things are still here, some are now over there? For that you'll have to use mod_rewrite, something like:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^showforum=22$ [NC]
RewriteRule index.php http://my.server.tld/newforums/newpage? [R=301,L]

[Simplex3]

Actually, no. The REDIRECT command is kind of like a chainsaw. Great for dismembering someone after you kill them, but not really good for torturing them for extended periods of time.

Or something like that.

[penguinz]

Not working :(

[Simplex3]

Not working :(

Show me what you've put in so I can check the urls. PM me if you don't want to spread it around.

Who uses that shit anymore? IIS7 FTW!!!!!

[Fritz88]

I worked with it for a while, not enough experience. Good luck .

[Simplex3]

For the record, the answer was:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule .* http://www.mydomain.tld/forums/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [R=301,L]

It worked for him because only the forums had a query string.

;)All the sites I get paid to manage are Windows. I do not have that luxury for this one.
