I am wondering why there is no one redirect working on my joomla 1.5.22 website with artio paid version 3.7.6

Components>Artio Joomsef>Manage 301 redirects>New >Moved from URL : myoldurl.com Moved to URL mynewurl.com

Just doesnt work!

Please help guys

thanks in advance

Hello,

the redirect only working "within" a domain.
So you can rerect e.g.
somesite.com/some-old-url
to
somesite.com/new-url

but you cannot use 301 redirects for domain redirects. For such, you need to use rewrite rules, that need to be put directly to .htaccess file.
You can use JoomSEF .htaccess editor to add them.

More about this at
httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html

Hi Jan and thanks for your reply

Sorry I wasnt clear in my first message, yes I am trying to redirect from somesite.com/some-old-url to somesite.com/new-url

Here is my .htaccess file, can you please tell me what's the rule to write to make the 301 redirects work on artio joomsef 3.7.6?

Many thanks

Hello,

In JoomSEF's configuration on the Advanced tab, make sure that "Use Moved Permanently redirection table" is enabled. Then make sure that you use the correct format of your 301 redirects like this:
Moved from URL: some-old-url
Moved to URL: new-url

It needs to be the relative SEF URL (without any PHP variables like ?var=value), without the domain and without the leading slash.

Best regards,
ARTIO Support Team

Hi David and thanks for you answer

The "Use Moved Permanently redirection table" was already enabled on the advanced tab of joomsef configuration, I have done what you wrote before but unfortunately it still doesnt work

I tried all these combinations but they dont work

from someoldurl to newurl
from someoldurl to category/newurl

from someoldurl to newurl.html
from someoldurl to category/newurl

from someoldurl to newurl.html
from someoldurl to category/newurl.html

from someoldurl/ to newurl.html
from someoldurl/ to newurl

from category/someoldurl/ to category/newurl.html
from category/someoldurl to category/newurl.html

Do you think this issue could be related to the .htaccess file as suggested above by jan?

Many Thanks

Hello,
maybe you could give a specific example of redirection that does not work for you.
