I am trying to create a redirect for an entire directory after the site has been phished. I want to redirect any request for this directory to the home page. Currently, requests to this the actual URL is generating a 404 error.

the directory is domain.org/images/seals/.eeaaa/

the actual url being exploited is domain.org/images/seals/.eeaaa/eee/rrr/p...webscr.php?cmd=LogIn


How can redirect it to the home page? What should I use: 1) Customized 404 feature? 2) 301 redirect? 3) advance edit of the ht access file

When you answer, please give me exact syntax, code and specific instructions. I am not that technical.

Thank you.

by the way, my order number 00011025

expedient response is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

You need to use the advanced .htaccess edit. Add the following line:
RewriteRule ^images/seals/\.eeaaa index.php [R,L]
after the RewriteBase line.

dear sir, alas, the code did not work. it did not redirect. somehow the url is being rerendered.

so I tried to do a direct 301 redirect code of the entire offending url. that did not work either. it seems there are code that is overriding my redirect code,

please advise....

1. what 301 redirect command I should use....is this correct

Redirect 301 /images/seals/.eeaaa/eee/rrr/ppuk1/webscr.php www.example.org/index.php

OR

Redirect 301 example.org/images/seals/.eeaaa/eee/rrr/ppuk1/webscr.php www.example.org/index.php


2. Where should this line of code go in the htaccess so the other rules don't overwrite it?

Thanks

Hello,

The first option should work:
Redirect 301 /images/seals/.eeaaa/eee/rrr/ppuk1/webscr.php www.example.org/index.php

Make the line the first one in .htaccess file and make sure that mod_alias is enabled on your server. You can find a documentation at httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_alias.html#redirect
